The Ben's First Wedding EVER

My wedding was the very first ever at The Ben and WOW, we were truly blown away by how incredible it was. The venue itself is simply stunning. The ballroom overlooks the water and has indoor and outdoor space. The ceremony space on the main level has a very cool, industrial feel that went perfectly with our vibe. We had our ceremony in The Studio downstairs, cocktail hour on the pool deck and our wedding in the rooftop ballroom. I think that what put our experience so over the top was working with the amazing staff at The Ben, especially Lauren. My mom and I worked very closely with The Ben's incredible events director, Lauren, for 9 months planning every detail of our 160 person wedding. Being the very first wedding at the hotel, the entire staff went so far above and beyond to make our wedding absolutely perfect. I am a very type-A, detail-oriented person and no matter how many emails or calls or texts my mom and I sent, Lauren was so incredibly patient and kind and diligent, making sure to always address all of our concerns and going above and beyond in everything she did. She truly made all of my wedding dreams come true, and no matter what I asked for or how difficult it was, she found a way to make it happen. Despite having to take on a massive list of responsibilities that go along with opening a brand new hotel, Lauren managed to make me feel like our wedding was her first and most important priority. In addition to Lauren, the chef prepared the most over the top amazing food for us and Bernardo, the manager, made us feel like we were celebrities from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. On our wedding night, Bernardo arranged to have a photo of us from the wedding framed and waiting for us in our room when the wedding was over. It was truly top-notch, end-to-end, white glove service. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and my husband and I (and all of our family and friends) can't stop talking about it. It was the most amazing and incredible night of our lives. I wish I could personally thank each and every person who contributed to our wedding at The Ben--they have given us the most beautiful memories and we will forever cherish them.

Amazing Wedding Venue

I recently had my wedding at the Ben Hotel and it was an absolute DREAM. From the time my husband and I first got engaged we knew we would love to get married at the Ben. The hotel is stunning and has gorgeous views from the rooftop pool. We were very excited when we found out the ballroom was also on the top floor as it has those same views overlooking the water and Palm Beach. The hotel personnel were all fabulous to work with. From the start working with Morgan who helped us seal the deal on the venue. I then worked with Bri for all of the details of our wedding and Kendra for our rooms. Each one of them were AMAZING and so responsive. I must have emailed Bri 100 times throughout the process and she was also so sweet and quick to get back to me. Our guests loved staying at the hotel and the room block rate was such a great deal. Kendra was super helpful working with me to increase our room count and keep me updated with the latest bookings. The food was also incredible (shoutout to the chef)! Even small things such as the food tasting was such a wonderful experience at the Ben. The chef came out and spoke with us going over the details of the menu and letting us try the wine. They were also very helpful in setting up walk throughs and rehearsal. I do think the venue is pricier than some of the other options in the area (excluding Palm Beach) but if I had to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. I love all of my wedding photos from the Ben and truly had the most magical day there.

Consider them

The venue is gorgeous. The hotel staff/front desk/vale and the event personnel are all amazing. The costs for an event are very expensive compared to what you get. So if you really want to get married in the Studio then go for it but the price per person far exceeds many other venues in the area. On top of that, their venue fee is also overpriced and you still need to rent chairs, and drapes, where that’s included in the venue fee of other places for less money. They truly only believe their competitor is the Breakers. This was difficult during negotiations because if you are looking at venues you know the Breakers is in a different tier. The Ben simply is not in the same stratosphere as the Breakers.

Their food packages changed during our negotiations from when we started planning to the time of our wedding. So what we were offered compared to what they offer now has changed. They offered so little before that we needed to supplement the offerings (amount of hors d’oeuvres, stations, etc) but now their new packages have more options, however their price per person is very high.

The room block was a whole other issue. Their price was not much cheaper then what you can get online direct from Marriott. Then trying to book the room block was a headache. It required multiple calls to their room block manager to ensure rooms were booked correctly. Front desk staff were unable to book the room block and multiple guests needed us to book for them. Our guests had multiple complaints on this process. It was not simple. I still don’t think we ever got that right.

Despite this, we still did our wedding there since we loved the look of the venue but I would encourage you to look at all other venues in south Florida before finalizing your decision. Happy planning.
