Venue & Details
The Breakers Palm Beach
A Gilded Age Landmark
Originally built by Henry Flagler in 1896, The Breakers is an iconic Italian Renaissance-style resort that sits on 140 acres of oceanfront paradise. Its twin Belvedere towers, hand-painted ceilings, and sweeping ocean views have made it one of the most celebrated destinations in the world for over a century. Walking through its grand lobby feels like stepping into another era, one of timeless elegance and effortless grandeur.
The Breakers has hosted generations of celebrations, from Gilded Age society gatherings to modern-day milestones. We fell in love with its blend of old-world charm and warm hospitality, and we are honored to add our love story to its legacy. We think you'll feel the magic the moment you arrive.
What to Expect When You Arrive
As you approach the resort, you'll drive down a palm-lined boulevard that opens up to the grand porte-cochère entrance. Valet attendants will greet you and take care of your car. From there, step through the main doors into the breathtaking lobby. Look up at the frescoed ceilings and take it all in. Our wedding events will be clearly signposted, and there will be attendants to guide you to the right spaces throughout the weekend.
The Ocean Lawn: Ceremony & Cocktail Hour
Our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place on The Ocean Lawn, one of The Breakers' most breathtaking outdoor settings. Perched right on the Atlantic, this manicured lawn offers unobstructed ocean views and the sound of waves as your backdrop. As we exchange our vows, you'll feel the warm sea breeze and see the water stretching to the horizon behind us.
After the ceremony, cocktail hour continues on the lawn as the late-afternoon light softens over the ocean, the perfect moment for photos, conversation, and signature drinks. Attendants will guide you indoors for the reception when it's time to move to dinner and dancing.
Since the ceremony and cocktails are outdoors, we recommend light, breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes for the lawn. There will be shade, refreshments, and the ocean breeze to keep you comfortable. In the unlikely event of inclement weather, The Breakers has equally stunning indoor spaces ready as a seamless backup.

Parking & Transportation
Complimentary valet parking is available for all wedding guests. Just pull up to the main entrance and the valet team will handle the rest. If you're arriving by rideshare (Uber or Lyft), the drop-off point is also at the main entrance. For those staying at The Ben, the complimentary Bruno cart shuttle runs regularly between the two properties, so you won't need to worry about driving at all.
September Weather in Palm Beach
September in Palm Beach is warm and tropical. Expect average highs around 88°F (31°C) with humidity and the possibility of brief afternoon showers. Evenings cool down to a comfortable 78°F, which is perfect for our outdoor cocktail hour. We recommend light, breathable fabrics and keeping a small clutch-friendly umbrella handy just in case.
Please note that September falls within hurricane season. While we're keeping a close eye on forecasts, rest assured that The Breakers has extensive contingency plans and indoor spaces that are equally stunning. We will communicate any weather updates promptly via email and on this website.
