History Palafox Wharf Waterfront was originally built in 1880 a portion of which was using wood from American Liberty Ships. It was originally used as a shipping company, whose ships sailed the Carribean. Two elements of one of those Ships (named the American Eagle) is quietly and discretly blended into the structure of the Venue. It has been renovated into an unique mix of a current updated feel with warmness to create a great vibe to hold wedding and events.

Perfect venue
Wow... could not say enough good things about this venue. We were hesitant to book because it was pricier than what we wanted (originally looking at just using a local community center)... SO glad we ended up choosing Palafox. Although they are on the pricier side, you are not only getting a stunning venue, but are getting a TON of planning services that really took so much stress of our plate. Sandy is amazing to work with, and was 110% willing to be flexible. On reflecting back on our wedding day, the quality of the venue is ACTUALLY something people notice... not the table settings or even the food. If you are on the fence, you need to get off the fence and book this venue, you'll thank me later! :)
Palafox Wharf Waterfront is simply stunning venue itself. Very Unique and tons of opportunity to allow your day to stand out there as well.
Sandy and her husband are amazing to works alongside as well. They both hold tons of knowledge of the area which helps when planning your big event.
We enjoy each and every event we assist with at their Venue.
