About weddings in Tequesta
Tequesta sits on the Atlantic Ridge, which means it has something almost no South Florida town has: elevation. Ancient sand ridges, native slash pines, saw palmetto. The Loxahatchee River wraps the north and west, the Intracoastal is east. The Tequesta Country Club, Turtle Creek Club and Constitution Park are the venues. What you can't do here is get married on the Atlantic. There's no oceanfront inside village limits, so beach ceremonies happen up the road. What happens here is golf course weddings, riverfront backyards and small park pavilions. A venue costs about $12,300, food is $133 a head, and an open bar adds $58. A 120-guest wedding runs about $50,300. The Loxahatchee sandbars are a genuinely local backdrop, and they're the reason people choose this village over Jupiter.
