A Waterfront Setting for Your “I Do”

Nestled along the Intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale, Boatyard is one of Broward County’s most sought-after small wedding venues. From champagne toasts under the gumbo limbo tree to a candlelit dinner inside our private event space, your celebration will feel as effortless as the coastal lifestyle we embody.

Our venue features a variety of private and semi-private spaces, ideal for gatherings from intimate dinners to larger-scale celebrations. With indoor dining rooms, scenic outdoor patios, and flexible layouts, we can accommodate anywhere from 18 to 200 guests. Modern amenities and thoughtful design make Boatyard one of the premier private event venues in Fort Lauderdale.

• Dockside Patio Lounge: Perfect for cocktail hours, offering stunning waterfront views.

Designed with Your Vision in Mind

Your wedding should reflect your style. While Boatyard provides the waterfront setting, cuisine, and service, we welcome outside planners and décor teams to help bring your vision to life. Couples and vendors may access the space 1  hour prior to the event for setup, ensuring every detail feels personal and beautifully arranged.

Coastal Cuisine, Crafted for You

At Boatyard, your wedding menu is more than a meal; it’s part of the celebration. Our chefs craft pre-selected menus that highlight fresh local seafood, premium cuts, and coastal-inspired flavors, with thoughtful pairings designed to enhance your special day. Handcrafted cocktails, curated wine selections, and elevated bar packages provide the perfect finishing touch.

With a dedicated event manager to assist with menu planning, wine pairings, and bar selections, every culinary detail is thoughtfully coordinated to ensure a seamless dining experience for you and your guests.
