About weddings in Ocean Ridge
Ocean Ridge kept its trees. It's a barrier island town north of Delray where the natural maritime hammock is still standing: banyans, sea grape, dense native canopy, and mangrove islands out in the Intracoastal. It looks wilder than the built-out towns on either side of it, and that's the point. There are no commercial venues. You get married on the public sand at Ocean Ridge Hammock Park with a permit and a strict capacity cap, or in a private backyard. A venue equivalent costs about $12,610, food is $137 a head, and an open bar is $60. Expect around $51,700 for 120 guests. Check the capacity cap before anything else. This is a town for a small wedding, not a big one.
