NEED MAJOR HELP WITH VENUE!!!!!! SOUTH Florida $5000 budget

Have you done a vendor search here on WW?

If you're willing to go north of West Palm, the Jupiter Civic Center is cheap to rent out. It's a pretty nice, rustic building right on the beach with a deck

Have a look at parks with gazebos, or churches with large annex/activity halls. and consider an afternoon ceremony with appetizers instead of a huge meal

You should check out benvenuttos in boynton beach! They really work with your budget...ask for maria!! It has indoor and outdoor. You may also want to look at pga national or something like that. message me if you need any help. If you are looking for your gown, I work at Alfred Angelo in boynton

Hi Melissa,

I assume you're somewhere in Broward, given that you're considering Royal Fiesta, so here are my top two choices (I'm in Broward too).

You should check out this place in Pompano, called Galuppi's. It's a big reception hall setting, that has a restaurant/bar attached to it (indoors), and the whole building is surrounded by windows, and it's right on a BEAUTIFUL golf course. The Director of Catering's name is Cecelia, if I remember correctly. Check it out.

Also, this is another venue that I got a pretty competitive quote for. They're a beautiful venue as well, right on a golf course (awesome wedding site outside on the course), and they have a massive two-floor reception hall. These guys are in Boca Raton, and they're named Boca Dunes. If you decide to call them, ask for either Tracy or Erin. They were both really nice to me.

Debbie, is the contact for Galuppi's! Tatiana is right, they are beautiful and AFFORDABLE!

You should check coco plum in Miami it's gorgeous my cousin had her wedding there!! It's on the ww vendors list good luck

I am going to check out benvenuttos tomorrow. A friend of mine is getting married in the Boca Dunes a month before my wedding.

Hello everybody!!! I found a venue!!! Thanks for everything!!

Hi Melissa I have the same month and the same budget I hope you don't mind me asking but did you find an affordable venue in south florida. I am desperately looking for one too

Hi Melissa, could you also share what you found? My wedding is next January but we are really trying to budget as well.

Here are some reasonably priced options I checked out in South Florida:

Matheson Hammock Park - you could have the ceremony outdoors and the reception at the restaurant.

Cauley Square - it's very pretty and they have different options

Casa Reta - it's a home in Broward. You just pay the venue rental fee and the rest you plan out yourself (you don't need to use specific vendors) It has indoor/outdoor options.

Another option is a backyard wedding if you have a decent sized backyard. You could have the ceremony outdoors and bring guests in for the reception.

Hi Farah, I chose the Benvenuto in Boynton Beach. If you probe enough, and are very frank about your budget, there are some budget friendly options.

I would have suggested where I am getting married but we're date twins and my venue is booked for that day. LOL!

Nicole above suggested Cauley Square. I would advise against them. I have heard horror story after horror story about that place. Apparently the staff is awful and lazy.

Hi Melissa, you and I have the same budget and amount of guests (roughly 85ppl). I checked out benvenutos today and am curious about the budget friendly options you were given. I was quite frank about what we could afford but I didn't see much "option" lol! It seemed very, "take it or leave it". The only thing we were offered was to cut down the guest list to a price we could afford. Did you have to cut your list or do they offer some super secret package for us "budget brides" that they dont advertise? hahaha

Hi KLee! I did cut my guest list down (65 people), but I believe the venue in it of itself would have still priced under 5k. I do know they raised there prices right after ( and I mean RIGHT after) I booked the venue. For the package I receive, I believe that that same package is now $20-$30 more per person, not including the service fee and tax. That may be the difference ( which in overall pricing, would make a big difference).

Thank you sooooo much Tatiana for suggestion Boca Dunes. We booked our wedding reception here after have such a hard time find a place. They are definitely resonable

I am also looking for Venus in Brevard under 5000 for July 2016 any one found a hood deal I'm looking at 100 people
