About weddings in Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach is a working coastal city: oceanfront high-rises, an active marina, shipping canals, and a serious diving and fishing culture. The Marriott Pompano Beach Resort, Sands Harbor Resort & Marina, Galuppi's and the Greg Norman course at Pompano Beach Golf Club are the venues, plus charters out of the marina. The Fisher Family Pier is shaped like a pompano fish when you see it from the air, which is either charming or ridiculous depending on your mood, and it's the backdrop for a lot of beach ceremonies here. No historic stone palaces. That's not this town. A venue costs about $10,810, food is $117 a head, and an open bar adds $51. A 120-guest wedding runs about $44,200. If a yacht wedding is the plan, Pompano's marina is one of the easiest and cheapest places in Broward to charter from.
