where To wed With its incredibly creative team o planners
and myriad venue options, The Breakers is theplace to throw a party in
Palm Beach. For outdoor venues, we love the Ocean Terrace, a second-
story open-air deck overlooking the pool and the Atlantic Ocean, andthe Mediterranean Courtyard, with its elegant ountain and statuary.
Ballrooms dont get more beautiul than the Gold Room, complete with
a marble replace and gilded ceiling, or the light-lled Circle Room,
a bridal avorite. For something more urban, the propertysPhillips
Point Club oers wraparound views o the city, the Intracoastal
Waterway, the Atlantic and Palm Beach. Late-night revelers can meet
up in te Tapestry Bar, lined with 16th-century hangings and sporting
a mahogany bar imported rom London.
