River Palm Cottages Jensen Beach Florida Wedding and Party Venue

                                                So we had the pleasure of working at a nice outdoor venue this weekend. Yes, you're probably thinking, "wow it must have been freezing." Of course south Florida is the only area that stays mostly warm year round. But it was just a little chilly outside for the wedding reception we performed at this past evening. Make sure that whenever you perform or have an event outside to check the weather that day, have heaters or fans, etc. You just never know about weather conditions, they can change in an instant. 


                                                This is not our DJ setup in this photo and I don't take credit for this picture, this is directly off River Palm Cottages Jensen Beach Website. This is the main tiki hut above with the open dance floor in the very center. As you first drive into the River Cottages main road it takes you around to the tiki hut and main reception area. Parking is around the small cottages and an additional parking area is available on the north end of the facility. For party planners, caterers, DJs and musicians setup is super easy. You can actually drive your vehicle right up to the building and load and unload equipment, party props and food. There is a full bar on the south side of the hut and a gorgeous dock area on the east side leading right out to the intro-coastal waterway. DJs and musicians can setup right by the bar area. From where your vehicle is parked to load and unload equipment and/or party props is maybe 25 feet. The night we performed, there was a buffet table setup directly behind the bar area. The tables and chairs were setup under a tent attached to the tiki hut area. I am not sure if that is part of the building or something you can add onto the hut. It made a difference for wind and weather. I would check out that when you go to see the place.

                                                You will probably have to hire your own catering to provide the food for your event or I'm sure the facility has some recommendations. For the wedding we performed at the ceremony was just down the way on the lawn facing the waterway. Excellent for photographers and easy access for guests. We have our own photographer who works for the our DJ company and the photos were excellent. So you can expect great pictures to look back on with great scenery. Restrooms were clean and easy to get to. Plus they have cottages for your guests if you're looking for a place to stay. 

                                                For anyone looking to have a wedding, sweet 16, birthday or other tropical beachy atmosphere party, this is a cool place available for just that. It comfortably fits 100-125 guests and the dance floor is nice and open. Having the bar right next to the dance floor keeps your guests close and part of the event. Keep in mind that this venue is mostly set outdoors, so make sure you plan to have it during a warmer part of the year. It can be chilly between January and April in south Florida.They had heating lamps and covers to enclose the facility too. The only downside is the venue is a little ways east of the highway for those flying in or driving a ways. But other than that it's a cool, relaxing place for your party or reception. Check out River Palm Cottages in Jensen Beach Florida just south of Jensen Beach Blvd. 

For any questions, comments or responses feel free to post them and I'll respond. Happy venue hunting!

                                Normally in my postings I have been telling you about some great places to have your wedding, sweet 16, birthday, dance, Mitzvah and corporate event. There are numerous great locations to have your special event but those who are on a budget, which is of course many people, can always go for the clubhouse rental in your local community. There are hundreds upon hundreds of clubhouses in gated communities and residential areas. Even if you don't have one in your community you may know somebody who's a close friend or relative who has a clubhouse in their community.                                                                                       When setting up to have an event there are 3 main factors that your guests will remember that day. The number 1 thing people remember is who performed the entertainment at the event. It's totally true! I'm sure you've heard people say before, "Oh the DJ at the wedding or party wa

Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House Restaurant Jensen Beach Stuart Florida Wedding Anniversary Party Venue

Image
 We have a classic venue that's stood the test of time and has been a party and wedding event place for decades. The city of Jensen Beach, an extension of Stuart Florida is a beautiful town on the intracoastal waterway in the treasure coast. There's shops, restaurants, bars and lots of cottages and beach homes. Directly on the water and we mean right on the waterway with docks and boats surrounding it is the Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House. This is a seafood restaurant and event hall that has a very oldschool boating and dockside feel to it. As you turn into the parking lot, there's a long driveway with lots of self parking as well as a valet available too. As you pull around to the front of the restaurant, there's a nice circular covered driveway area that's great for dropping off guests. As you walk up the steps you'll be greeted by the hostess station at the front. The restaurant area is directly straight back and a great place to have dinner. They also have a
