About weddings in Riviera Beach
Riviera Beach is two cities in one. On the mainland it's an industrial shipping port with boatyards and deep channels. Across the Intracoastal, Singer Island has a wide Atlantic beach and oceanfront high-rises. Both are real. The Ocean Resort Cascades, the Marina Village and the public beach at Municipal Beach Park handle the weddings. The one that stands out is Phil Foster Park, sitting directly under the Blue Heron Bridge. It's a world-famous scuba site, and a ceremony there has the bridge superstructure and a running tidal current right behind it. It is not pretty in the conventional sense. It is unforgettable. A venue costs about $10,180, food is $110 a head, and an open bar adds $48. A 120-guest wedding runs about $41,600, roughly $11,800 under Palm Beach Shores at the other end of the same island.
