Royal Poinciana Chapel Palm Beach Island Florida Wedding Venue

                                         For the next posting we got to perform at a new facility and as always got to take in the setting of this venue we've had the pleasure of working at. The Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach Florida right on the island, is a very upscale and elegant place to have your wedding reception. For those of you looking for a venue in the west palm beach area this is a great idea for a location for everything; Wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception.

                                          Royal Poinciana Chapel is located on the island of Palm Beach right next to the Flagler Museum. It's fairly easy to get into and parking is available throughout the facility. You have a couple of options, you can get married in the chapel area or outside on the gorgeous lawn area under the large trees. They also have a very nice patio area with overhang where your cocktail hour could be held. They have house music built into the facility or you can have a DJ play some music outside as they had us do. The outside can comfortably fit about 80 people. Your caterer can setup tables an beverage station outside for the guests. For you photographers or anyone hiring a photographer the view is great! It's right by the intracoastal waterway in West Palm Beach. 

                                         As we make our way indoors from the patio we have the reception ballroom. It features a nice open room with chandeliers lining the ceilings. As I said the room is pretty upscale. It is carpeted throughout most of the room and on the north end of the room where the musicians setup or DJ it has a wood floor. You will have to look into a catering service as the has a kitchen area but most clients bring in their own caterers. You may also have to rent tables and chairs for the room. The bride & groom for this wedding hired a company who set everything up. The actual reception hall can accommodate about 100-115 people comfortably. The food was setup as a buffet style on the east and west sides of the room and the beverage station was located on the south end of the room. This room doesn't need a lot of decorating as it's nice and open and can be mostly setup on the tables. 

                                         Here's my review on Royal Poinciana Chapel. The building is super easy to get your equipment into. The building has side doors and parking spots right up front to take your party props, equipment, tables & chairs etc, into the reception. The facility has lots of parking both at the Flagler museum next door and in the chapel parking lot. You have 2 option for getting married, either out on the lush lawn or inside the chapel. The room accommodates a good number of people and has a nice patio area for cocktail hours. The caterers we worked with were very friendly and courteous. We didn't get a chance to talk with anyone running Royal Poinciana but it wasn't hard getting in and out with no hassle. Overall I will give this venue a 9 out of 10. The only thing that you will have to find out is having a caterer. The patio area is not covered completely and there was a little rain. This is a great facility for weddings and worth checking into for anyone in the palm beach county area.
