Ceremony & Reception Spaces & Costs at The Boca Raton?
The Boca Raton doesn’t offer a single ceremony or reception space—instead, it has multiple curated packages tied to specific experiences, each with its own setting and menu. Named options like Grand Arches, Hidden Gardens, Private Oasis, and Golden Waterfront hint at distinct vibes, from garden elegance to waterfront luxury.
Indoor and outdoor spaces are available, with built-in weather backup plans for outdoor events. Capacity and setup details vary, so your event manager will guide you based on your guest count and preferences.
Venue Fees
The Boca Raton doesn’t charge a flat venue rental fee like many traditional venues. Instead, they offer all-inclusive per-person packages that cover not just the space, but also food, bar service, rentals, and staffing. This structure simplifies planning but also means your total costs will scale directly with your guest count.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
- Grand Arches – $450 per person
A classic offering with refined cocktail hour selections, a plated dinner featuring beef tenderloin, and a personalized wedding cake. - Hidden Gardens – $525 per person
Includes an elevated menu with dual entrées (petite filet + sea bass), a seafood cocktail hour station, and an extensive dessert spread. - Golden Waterfront – $525 per person
Designed for a more interactive experience with dinner stations and diverse offerings like sushi displays and carving stations. - Private Oasis – $625 per person
The most premium option, offering individually selected entrées for guests, luxe canapés (like “Surf & Turf” short rib & lobster), upscale wines, and upgraded linens.
What’s Included in the Venue Fee
Each package includes:
- Five-hour deluxe open bar
- Butler-passed hors d’oeuvres (six per guest)
- Multi-course dinner or food stations
- Custom wedding cake by the in-house pastry chef
- Chiavari chairs, floor-length linens, and coordinating napkins
- China, glassware, flatware, and tables
- Dance floor and staging
- Votive candles for décor
Chef and attendant fees are charged separately and vary by package:
- $250 per chef/attendant for all packages except Private Oasis
- $500 per chef/attendant for Private Oasis
The number of required chefs and attendants depends on your menu and guest count, so these fees can add up, especially for larger weddings or more complex menus.
This bundled structure is great for couples seeking a luxury experience with minimal outside vendors—but it also means your min
🍽 Food and Beverage Costs
At The Boca Raton, all food and beverage must be handled in-house—no outside catering or alcohol is permitted due to resort policy and Florida liquor laws.

How much could your total wedding cost be if you got married at The Boca Raton?
Tulle’s Cost Forecast Tool estimates that a 150-guest wedding at The Boca Raton will cost around $168,000, factoring in the venue’s required food and beverage minimums, ceremony and room rental fees, and all applicable taxes and service charges. This projection also includes the full scope of a wedding day—from catering and bar to planning, florals, photo and video, attire, entertainment, and gratuities—offering a realistic picture of total spend at this luxury Dallas venue.
When you factor in everything — from venue fees to vendor costs — Tulle Together’s Cost Forecast Tool projects that the total budget of a wedding at The Boca Raton could land around $168,000, depending on your guest count (this estimates the spend based on 150 guests on a peak-season Saturday), design scope, and other vendor selections. This estimate factors in a range of typical wedding expenses beyond the venue & catering itself, helping couples get a realistic view of what their wedding might actually cost before making any commitments. Of course, someone could spend more or less than this (especially if you go with off-season pricing and less guests!) – but it’s an average estimate for what that total wedding cost could look like.
