How to choose a wedding venue around Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale offers a wide variety of wedding venues, so whatever our vibe is, you're sure to find the perfect spot! 

Ask yourself these questions when deciding which venue to choose:

  • Do we want to be near the water?
  • Do we need accommodations nearby for our guests to stay at?
  • Are things to do around the area important for our wedding weekend?
  • Do we want our ceremony to be outside?

Keep on mind that Florida weather can be... tricky. Be sure to love your "Rain plan" as much as your outdoor ceremony space! 

MY PERSONAL TOP FIVE FAVORITE

Wedding Venues Around Fort Lauderdale, Florida

one

THE W Hotel 
Fort Lauderdale

If you're looking for style and sophistication, the W is IT. Although beachside, this venue is not light and airy, and works best with highly stylized decor and bold accents. Invite guests for a welcome reception in their Living Room space! 

401 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale 

Check out Michelle & Will's wedding here >

two

Living Sculpture Sanctuary

2800 S Flamingo Rd, Davie

Check out Michelle & Cole's boho wedding >

three

Deer Creek Golf Club

All the sophistication of a country club wedding, without the fuss. My favorite spots are the gorgeous ceremony space, rolling hills of the golf course, and lush garden area for portraits. Plus, those WINDOWS in the ballroom! 

2801 Deer Creek Country Club Blvd. Deerfield Beach

See Courtney & Adam's beautiful wedding here >

four

Hillsboro Club

Looking for beachy, but like, not too beachy? The Hillsboro Club is the perfect wedding venue for you! With view of the iconic Hillsboro Lighthouse, and a beautiful ballroom with tasteful decor, your guests will get the full Florida experience here! 

901 Hillsboro Mile, Hillsboro Beach

So many nearby activities for guests here!

five

Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa

Marriott always comes through, and this venue is no exception! With spacious ballrooms, and a palm lined lawn for cocktail hour or pre-wedding events, you'll love the service they provide! 

3030 Holiday Dr, Fort Lauderdale

Rachel & Ty's wedding here was perfection... >

Dreaming of a boho wedding? Then Living Sculpture Sanctuary should be at the top of your list. Gorgeous landscaping and natural elements will only add to your wedding decor. And the twinkle lights in the reception space? Swoon.
