Cafe Boulud at The Brazilian Court Hotel Reviews

On May 8, 2021 we had our intimate 50 person wedding reception at the lovely Cafe Boulud at the Brazilian Court Hotel. To say it was a dream is simply an understatement. From the first time I met with Theresa I felt as though I was in the best of hands. She walked us through the process with such care and made it just a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel accommodations were fantastic and everyone made us feel like royalty throughout our entire stay. We held our cocktail reception in the courtyard with a live spanish guitar duo that we hired. Our reception was held in the Ballroom & Conservatory- the food was exquisite, the service impeccable, and everything was executed perfectly. It was just absolutely perfect- my husband and I have such a beautiful memory of our special day and look forward to coming back again to celebrate the memory for years to come.

We had our wedding (ceremony/cocktail hour/reception) May 30, 2020, and I cannot even put into words how perfect it was ... not only because I was marrying the love of my life, but also because Cafe Boulud/Brazilian Court, Theresa & her team blew us away with everything. When they advertise that they offer "an unparalleled experience in luxury and charm", that is so accurate. Our wedding was exactly how one would picture an elegant, romantic, classic wedding in sunny Palm Beach, Florida. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the venue, and everything in between was flawless. Did I mention that Theresa organized everything at the venue in 12 days?! Due to the pandemic, our 5/30 wedding at the original venue was cancelled despite the lifted restrictions and we were informed only 12 days before - little did I know that was such a blessing! We couldn't have asked for a better day!!
The venue really is picture perfect and if I could offer any advice, it would be to do first look photos and as many family photos that you can prior to the ceremony so you can enjoy the cocktail hour, because the appetizers were delicious and you'll want to soak up every minute that you can at Cafe Boulud/Brazilian Court.

One of the most romantic settings I’ve ever been in. Everyone has told us this was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever been to. Everything went smoothly as planned and the staff was REMARKABLE. I can’t thank them enough for making our day so special!

There aren't enough wonderful things I can write about Theresa and the service provided by the staff at Cafe Boulud for my wedding day! Theresa was EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. There was not one email or phone call that went unanswered and trust me, there was A LOT of calls and emails from me! She made my dream wedding a reality and assisted me all the way from menu to vendor selections and coordination. The staff was beyond professional and catered to all of our needs! The venue is absolutely stunning! I would give this place 100 stars if I could for the beauty of the location, venue, the outstanding service and everything in between!

Mine was a second wedding- small (our grown kids plus my mom), and we found the courtyard at the Brazilian Court to be lovely- outdoors, romantic, and yet not the beach scene. We had champagne at the wishing well immediately after, enjoyed the courtyard for photos, and then had a fabulous dinner at Cafe Boulud. Chef Arnaud made us an amazing cake. Since I live out of state, I made a trip to meet Emily, the catering manager, and Chef Arnaud, 3 months prior. They listened and accomodated us extremely well at very fair prices. Emily was super helpful in making other vendor suggestions since I didn't know any business first hand( florist, photographer, limo, etc.) She was spot on- only the best at very reasonable prices. She also arranged to have our flowers donated to a local charity- so thoughtful.

I held my wedding (ceremony and reception) at Cafe Boulud/The Brazilian Court in April of 2012. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We met with Emily, the even coordinator, last year when we booked the venue. Every part of it, from her initially showing us the different aspects of the venue, to choosing a menu, to the actual day was perfect and personalized. The staff, especially Emily, were extremely professional and accomodating.
We chose this venue because it is beautiful and has a lovely, lush garden courtyard with a fountain. It's so beautiful, the outside hardly needed to be decorated. The hotel is so chic and posh and has a retro Palm Beach feel to it. The food is stellar. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and people are still talking about how delicious everything was at our wedding. It was so fun to choose the creative and sophisticated menu. You also get a dessert course, besides the wedding cake.
The service was impeccable. Everyone was kind and helpful. You instantly get the feeling that you are being taken care of and someone is there to meet all your needs and requests. All our alternate meal requests were handled smoothly and my guests with special meal needs mentioned to me that they were happy with how accomodating the restaurant is.
Emily was there the day before and the entire day of, to attend to every detail and make sure everyone knew what to do and everything went as planned. We felt totally swept away. After our ceremony, we got to relax in the library, where we were served drinks and all of our hors d'ouvres. We got to relax and take it all in. Then we were led into the ballroom and told when to do everything (like cut the cake) so we didnt have to think about it. Finally, we stayed in a suite and were met with champagne and strawberries. It was total pampering and a total dream come true. A perfet experience. I would recommed this venue to anyone.

I worked with Emily Murrah at the Brazilian Court, the Catering Director. What a complete amazing pleasure. She worked with us every step of the way leading up to my special day. She assisted with the Catering, to the hotel rooms, to the Rehearsal Ceremony and so much more. Her constant support was truly the asset to the Brazilian Court. Not only is the presentation of the food incredible but the taste is just as unreal!
The pastry chef caught exactly what I wanted for my cake!

Extremely surpassed my expectations!

We can not say enough great things about our ceremony and wedding reception at Cafe Boulud! From Day 1, we were treated with great personal attention and they were flexible on working through all of our event details. The food, atmosphere and staff were all top notch ... could not have asked for more!
A special thank you to Emily Marrah, their very talented, professional and personable wedding coordinator. She expertly managed all of our requests and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We absolutely recommend this special space for a mid size wedding. The food, service and decor will leave you and guests with such incredible memories. We're still cherishing ours!

I just celebrated my wedding (ceremony and reception) at Brazilian Court last weekend and I don't believe I can think of a single negative thing to say regarding the entire operation they have going there. From the front-end of planning monhts before the wedding until the end of the evening on my wedding night, every detail was executed with ease and professionalism.
I am SO pleased with the entire experience. My wedding exceeded my expectations, which is something I never thought I would say.
I suspect that many people who choose Brazilian Court and Cafe Boulud for their wedding may find themselves feeling this way, as well.

We had Emily overseeing our event. She was phenomenal beyond words!

We had our wedding at Cafe Boulud at the Brazilian Court Hotel and it was all we could have ever dreamed of! The service and attention we received during the planning process and the whole weekend was exceptional. The food, which is the best in the area, was phenomenal and many of our guests are still raving about it three weeks later. They were very willing to work closely with us in designing our menu and wedding cake and work with any dietary restrictions. I can't say enough about how professional and sweet the catering manager, Emily is. Everyone was so great to work with and we highly recommend having your wedding at this venue!

We had a lot of unusual entertainment and moving parts during our ceremony and reception at Cafe Boulud and the Brazilian Court. Camille, specifically, was fantastic in working with us to make everything perfect. Although they are known for their food (which is by far the best food around!), they should also be known for their professionalism and personal service as well. Camille is a joy to work with and the whole staff at Cafe Boulud and the Brazilian Court are fantastic!

Everything turned out perfect. We actually had people tell us that was the best meal ever. Also Camille was great, she has the perfect personality for that position.

The venue was perfect for an outdoor wedding and provided class and sophistication to the whole event. Camille Bowens, the wedding coordinator was extremely professional and highly competent. She managed every aspect of the wedding event and the outcome was better than we had hoped for or imagined. Camille's food recommendations were fantastic and guests commented numerous times during and after the wedding that the food was as good, if not better than any they had ever had. Bottom line and most importantly the bride and groom loved their wedding venue and event and will always remember how wonderful the whole evening turned out to be.

Cafe Boulud was the best choice I've made for any event , and especially our wedding it was incredible .They worked with a budget we had and came up with great choices for a food, I can say enough good words about them , I could trust them any time and for any occasion .Working with Camile was a great pleasure ,she had it all down to the detail and we could reach her anytime with any questions , and that made my planing experience so much more pleasant!

this was an exceptional experience!the attention to our wishes were excellent.every detail was taken into consideration. really a great place for elegance ,warmth, & supurb food.better than best!

Fabulous location and amazing team. Great to work with. Timely and practical advice with a no nonsense get it done mentality. Unflappable under pressure. Can't recommend highly enough.

This was everything we could have dreamed of in a wedding location, absolute perfection!

Wonderful experience and gorgeous venue!! I personally loved that it was an intimate setting for our 90 guests with only one wedding happening a day. Multiple guests said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they’ve ever been to. The Brazilian Court holds a natural romantic ambience that creates an unforgettable wedding experience. Also, the food was absolutely incredible with impeccable service for our sit down dinner - guests were thoroughly impressed. Theresa and her team were very professional and discretely handled situations behind closed doors - nothing phases them! As the bride I never knew anything was ever happening (very important on your wedding day!!). They were easy to work with and made wonderful vendor recommendations. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Shea Christine Photography, Dalsimer Florals & Bill Porter Music. Not to mention my experience at Frederic Fekkai Salon with Jonathan (hair) and Elle (Make Up). They saved my entire wedding day look after a couple questionable trials.
My only critique is sometimes our “chill” vibes seemed to rub off on the coordinating team, feeling like there was a dismissive attitude at times. A few avoidable mistakes were made and I felt that I had to follow up/remind the team of simple details when planning. Overall I have nothing but positive things to say and had the most magical wedding day!! I wish I could give 10+ stars!! Strongly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at the Brazilan Court. The food is incredible, the scenary and atmosphere is gorgeous and everyone involved in our wedding weekend felt committed to making sure that the wedding went off without a hitch and that our guests felt welcomed and well looked after. The staff was very easy to work with and flexible. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you Emily for making it so easy.

Brandy and Theresa were incredibly helpful. We selected this venue 2 years before our wedding and the planning process was incredibly easy. The only draw back was that they had some issues with their email system. Other than that, we were overly impressed and would do it all again if given the chance! Everything was easy and included as far as food and ceremony. I didn't have to worry about anything as a bride and they took care of every detail. We actually got to engage with our guests and enjoy our cocktail hour and reception. They made it so easy to enjoy our entire weekend.

Wonderful staff, wonderful hotel. The best money can buy.

Camille and Cafe Boulud at The Brazilian Court were just amazing to work with. Every detail was taken care of and my guest said that it was "THE BEST" wedding they had ever attended. I highly recommend this venue and Camille.

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. From touring the hotel as a potential spot for our reception to working with the staff on a reception and menu that met our needs. The food was amazing and the staff was extremely courteous and professional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, great staff and wonderful food.
