Not seeing your venue? We're happy to scout any Palm Beach County location — Mizner-era resorts, private country clubs, and yacht-club estates are all in our regular rotation.
3. Boca Raton logistics you should know
- Load-in & permits: Boca clubs cap vendor windows tightly around member service hours — we install off-hours to keep the clubhouse guest-facing.
- On-the-ground tip: Country-club and yacht-club events here require a preferred-vendor check; we're pre-approved with most Boca clubs and file our COI on booking.
- Booking season: November – April is the season. Weddings and galas book 8–12 months out.
4. Realistic Boca Raton budget bands
- Balloon backdrops & focal moments: $500 – $2,500
- Custom tablescapes & florals: $1,200 – $6,000
- Full-service event design & planning: $6,000+
Every proposal is customized. Venue, guest count, and season all affect pricing in Boca Raton.
