About weddings in North Palm Beach

North Palm Beach runs a municipal country club with a public Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and that's the reason to know it. You can book a wedding on a premium professional golf landscape at municipal rates. Sandpiper's Cove at Old Port Cove and the North Palm Beach Marina handle marina-front receptions and yacht departures, and the town wraps around the Lake Worth Lagoon with deep-water boat basins throughout. There's no open Atlantic beach inside town limits, so a sand ceremony means driving a few minutes east. A venue costs about $11,340, food is $123 a head, and an open bar adds $54. A 120-guest wedding runs about $46,500. If golf matters and the resort price tag doesn't work, this is the value play on the Palm Beach coast.
