Weddings Locations:

What is fantastic about this venue is that there are plenty of options to host different events.



The Ocean Lawn has a breathtaking direct view of the Atlantic Ocean and provides the relaxed feel of a beachside wedding. This space is perfect to host a ceremony, welcome and rehearsal dinners, or even brunch. The Lawn accommodates 100 to 500 guests.


Mediterranean Courtyard

Framed by classical balustrades and furnished with tropical flora, the Mediterranean Courtyard is a dazzling spot for an outdoor cocktail hour, or can be transformed for a romantic ceremony. Reflecting the hotel’s Renaissance inspiration, it was designed to provide sunshine as well and cross-ventilation for many rooms in the days before air conditioning. The Courtyard accommodates 75 to 500 guests.



Mediterranean Ballroom

Modeled after the loggias of Italian villas, the elaborate fresco-painted renaissance ceilings portray paintings of the sky, with large Venetian-style chandeliers and tall, arched windows. The ballroom overlooks the Mediterranean Courtyard, and can accommodate up to 250 guests.

The Circle Ballroom (One of my favorites!)

The Circle offers spectacular ocean views, through its 15 ft windows. The soaring 30-foot ceiling has a shallow dome with eight oval fresco-painted murals depicting Renaissance landscapes such as Villa Medici outside Florence, and the famous Tivoli Gardens near Rome. At the center, a Venetian crystal chandelier hangs from a stylized gold-leaf sunburst. The Circle accommodates up to 200 guests.

Venetian Ballroom:

This room offers stunning floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Venetian Ballroom is one of The Breakers’ largest ballrooms. The 25-foot-high space glows with six chandeliers, custom fabrics and golden tones. This majestic room accommodates up to 550 guests.


Front Lawn

Offering guests a garden-like setting with lush, tropical foliage, the Front Lawn is a picturesque backdrop for an outdoor ceremony or cocktail reception. Originally used as the hotel’s croquet lawn, the Front Lawn adjoins The Palm Courtyard. The Front Lawn accommodates 75 to 300 guests.




The Gold Room

Aptly named for its gorgeous diagonally paneled gold ceiling, the Gold Room is adorned with 260 hand-carved cherubs. Niches just below the ceiling contain portraits of Renaissance rulers and explorers of the New World. The ballroom is a replica of a room in Venice’s Galleria Accademia and offers an elegant, romantic setting for a ceremony, wedding dinner, or after-party. The Gold Room can accommodate up to 250 guests for a ceremony and 85 guests for dinner with a dance floor and band.




Magnolia Room

Originally the living room-style North Lounge for the hotel, the Magnolia Room accommodates up to 250 guests for a ceremony and 85 guests for dinner with a dance floor and band.

I love finding great spots that don’t require us to use passports (nothing against traveling outside the USA, it’s just a little perk to think “Oh I don’t need that this time”). With daily flights into Palm Beach, this hotel is the perfect destination that feels exotic but remains somewhat familiar.




The hotel is gorgeous, it’s easy to get there but the best thing about this hotel is their amazing team. Their wedding team is probably the best in the business… accommodating, helpful and passionate about their clients. Once you go to the Breakers you will come back every year for your anniversary!! I guarantee it!
