About weddings in Lantana
Lantana has the oldest waterfront building around: the Old Key Lime House, standing since 1889, Dade County pine, right on the water. That structure is the reason people get married in Lantana. The rest of the town is old Florida wood-frame houses, working fishing docks, oak trees and a small public beach across the Intracoastal at Lantana Oceanfront Park. No luxury ballrooms, no golf resorts. This is a casual, unpolished coastal town and it doesn't pretend otherwise. A venue costs about $10,920, food is $118 a head, and an open bar adds $52. Figure $44,700 for 120 guests, which is roughly $5,600 less than Delray Beach ten minutes north. If the 1880s timber and a real working waterfront are the picture, Lantana is genuinely cheaper than the towns around it.
