About weddings in Palm Beach Gardens
Palm Beach Gardens was the PGA of America's home for decades, and its wedding venues are built around that. PGA National Resort, BallenIsles, Sandhill Crane and the Borland Center handle golf-resort ballrooms, lakeside terraces and large banquet receptions, with convention-scale infrastructure behind them. It's entirely inland. Plenty of lakes and canals, but no ocean, no beach, no Intracoastal shoreline. A beach ceremony means driving fifteen minutes east to Juno or Palm Beach. A venue costs about $12,190, food is $132 a head, and an open bar adds $57. A 120-guest wedding costs around $49,800. This is the town for a big wedding. If your guest list runs past 200 and you want everyone under one roof with rooms upstairs, few places in Palm Beach County handle it better.
