About weddings in Royal Palm Beach
Royal Palm Beach is inland central Palm Beach County with no coast, no bay and no tidal water. What it has is park land, deliberately: the village enforces a high ratio of green space per resident, and Commons Park is built around a twenty-acre man-made lake with a bridge system designed for big outdoor events. That's the venue, along with the Cultural Center ballroom and Madison Green Country Club. No beach, no marina, no yacht. If you want salt water you're driving thirty minutes east. A venue costs about $10,810, food is $117 a head, and an open bar adds $51. Figure $44,200 for 120 guests, roughly $7,500 less than Palm Beach Gardens. If a big lakeside park wedding is the picture, this village is built for it and priced well below the coast.
