About weddings in Tamarac
Tamarac was built in the 1960s as a chain of active-adult communities, and the bones show: mid-century clubhouses designed for big banquets, low-slung concrete, golf fairways and engineered ponds. Woodmont Country Club and Colony West Golf Club are the venues, plus the community center. It's landlocked central-western Broward. No ocean, no bay, no marina. A venue costs about $10,600, food is $115 a head, and an open bar adds $50. A 120-guest wedding runs about $43,400. Those old clubhouses were purpose-built to seat large retirement banquets, which means they seat a large wedding without blinking, and they cost meaningfully less than the coast. If you have 200 guests and a real budget ceiling, Tamarac is worth a look.
