We only have great things to say about LHPYC! Gina made everything so easy and stress-free, both in planning the day and on the actual wedding day. She always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and things were taken care of. The food is amazing and the staff are excellent! Plus, you can't beat the beautiful views of the marina. Wish we could give it more than 5 stars!! Thanks, Gina!!!

Gina Miller is the absolute best events director and wedding planner. From start to finish everything was more than perfect. I highly recommend LPYC to any bride in the future and can promise your big day will be everything you want and more.

We saw a lot of venues before making our decision for lighthouse point. We wanted a venue on the water without having our toes in the sand. We did the tasting and the food was amazing! The ambience was exactly what we wanted. Gina was helpful throughout the entire stressful wedding process. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming in general. The guests at my wedding told me that their servers were wonderful and kept their drinks flowing. The view was amazing for photos. I would definitely recommend lighthouse point for a beautiful location for your special day.

Gina is AMAZING!!! She made the reception planning a breeze and made it so stress free (every bride’s dream)! The venue is absolutely beautiful and its tucked away its a perfect spot! I had many out of town guests and they LOVED doing cocktail hour on the water ! The food and service is fantastic as well- we couldn’t be happier with how well our reception went! Thank you Gina and LHP crew xoxo

When my fiancé and I walked into the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club...we knew this was our place. We had our wedding on November 11th, 2017 and it was the greatest day of our lives. Everything about this venue is perfect. Gina is there for you the whole time and there is not one time that I felt stressed during my wedding planning process, because of her. I loved everything about LHPYC, down from the newly renovated and decorated spaces to the amazing, out of this world food. My now husband and I felt so grateful to have our wedding at such a beautiful venue. I can't even say enough nice things about this place. You simply just need to visit and experience it yourself. You will not be disappointed. The day of the wedding was phenomenal. My bridesmaids and I arrived early and spent the whole day in the bridal suite where we ate, drank, and relaxed. Gina was there and made sure everything was going smoothly. I loved working with Gina, but every staff member of the club worked hard to make my wedding day perfect as well. They helped to hang up my arch decorations and kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything else. I love this place and I would choose this venue over and over again if I could. I recommend it to anyone I know and think its the best kept secret in Lighthouse Point!! xoxo

We absolutely love Lighthouse Point Yacht Club!!!!!!!!! Gina, the coordinator, is AMAZING!!!!! She was super easy to communicate with, and organized everything perfectly. She is there to help you have your dream wedding and will not let you down. The banquet captain Vita is awesome as well. She is so nice and helped to take care of us the day of the wedding too. Everything flowed so smoothly. The entire staff at the yacht club is very professional, quick, and fun! The food was hot and delicious. Our wedding guests were impressed by the food and service. The venue setting is beautiful. You are right on the intracoastal surrounded by palm trees with your loved ones. There could not have been anything better. We highly recommend Lighthouse Point Yacht Club!

I can't say enough good things about Gina and her team at Lighthouse Point Yacht Club. Not only does Gina stay on top of everything, and gently and sweetly nudges you along the way, but the food and staff day of was AMAZING. We had the filet and shrimp scampi with broccoli and potato dauphinoise. The food came out HOT and filled with flavor - everyone was raving about how good it was. My husband and I have been to a lot of events and weddings, and you don't get food like this. We also had the Viennese table - so many desserts and all were delicious. We looked at many different venues, hotels and other event spaces - you won't get the attention and quality you get with Gina and the team at Lighthouse Point Yacht Club.

Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club exceeded our expectations when it came to their food and service. The weather was absolutely perfect so it was more than anything we could have asked for. From the moment you meet Gina, you know you’re in good hands. She responded to my emails quickly and relieved any stress I felt. I felt like I’ve known her forever and she always found a way to make us smile. The venue has an old Florida charm, which suited us very well. I received compliments from all of our guests. They are an A+ wedding venue in all categories!

My husband and I tied the knot on April 9 and we couldn't have been happier with the staff at lighthouse point yacht club. Gina made all my dreams come true as promised and Vita made sure everything went perfectly. All of the servers had smiles on their faces and made sure our guests were accommodated. The venue itself is gorgeous and reasonably priced! We highly recommend lighthouse point yacht club for any special event or banquet you host.

Our wedding was on 4/21/17. This venue exceed our expectations in every way. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Gina, the catering director, is a pleasure to work with. She answers your emails right away and has everything under control. Our guest said they had never seen service like this and were impressed by how everything flowed smoothly thought the night. I am so happy to have chosen the yacht club for my wedding. Thanks to Gina and the staff I had the wedding of my dreams!

from the moment you meet Gina, you can't help but fall in love with her attitude & energy! after stepping inside LPYRC & seeing the venue, my husband & I knew this was the place we wanted to have our wedding. we had looked at several other venues but didn't get that "feeling" that we did when we finally got to meet with Gina & she showed us where the ceremony and reception would be. She's with you every step of the way during your planning process & helps to make sure you're on track! Vita & her team were there after the ceremony to make sure we had everything we needed & they even made extra meatballs for me after they had ran out during cocktail hour! Brides: you get this amazing bridal suite upstairs to get ready in with your ladies & the view from the balcony is amazing! their wedding packages have everything you could ever ask for AND MORE! if you're looking for a venue that has a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony and reception & you don't want to break your wallet, the Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club is the venue for you! thank you to Gina & her entire crew! they helped make my wedding day run smoothly! :)

Lighthouse Point Yacht and Raquet Club was the PERFECT home for our wedding. My now-husband and I live a very nautical lifestyle. As soon as I entered the venue, it almost felt like our house! Could not have been better suited to our wedding theme. So it seemed without question that this was where we would get married. And boy, am I glad we did! Gina, who helps to coordinate every wedding, is a DREAM come true to any bride. Our Banquet Manager, Vita, was amazing. The chef – excellent! I received countless compliments on our food and cake….and the chocolate fountain. You get so much for not a lot of dollars with LPYRC. I had the wedding in which a lot did not go as planned. The weather threatened to destroy my entire ceremony, as the skies literally opened up two hours prior. Once is stopped…not only did the staff hand-dry every chair, but they dried the concrete floor so that we could still make my outdoor ceremony dream come true. I ended up not having floral arrangements outdoors, but it didn’t even matter because the club itself is the perfect backdrop for any ceremony. And to top it off, club members who were in yachts nearby honked their boat horns as we shared our first kiss. Amazing! Beyond accommodating and did everything they could to ensure that I remained calm and excited throughout. Delicious food and so much included! Literally white glove service. Note to brides: take advantage of the day-of options, too! My girls and I got ready at the venue and were served fresh fruit, grilled chicken salad and champagne while getting dolled up. :)

Gina, Vita, and the team at the Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club are a real class act! They were great at taking care of all the little details so that we could actually enjoy our wedding. The wedding packages include lots of little special touches to make our wedding experience simply perfect! Our guests had a fantastic time. The venue was beautiful. And since only one event is allowed per day, it felt very intimate too - as if we rented the entire place for ourselves!

I searched all over the place to find a reasonable priced location in Fort Lauderdale. Every nice waterfront venue I saw was easily $130+ per person. I stumbled upon Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and was immediately blown away - not only by the reasonable (for a wedding) price, but how gorgeous the outdoor area was! Our wedding was gorgeous and Gina was so helpful with everything. I also loved getting ready in the bridal room upstairs - we even got lunch and mimosas brought up to us. It was seriously an amazing wedding and everything came out under my total budget of $25,000. So if you're looking for a gorgeous place to have a wedding in South Florida that won't cost you $100+ a head, this is the place for you!

Gina Miller, who is the event planner, was the most amazing wedding coordinator and planner ever! She was so easy to work with and made the entire experience stress free and so much fun! Gina is very knowledgeable about local venders and is willing to make changes with a big smile on her face up until the day before the wedding! The Lighthouse Point Yacht Club was such an amazing venue. Looking back, I should have tried to get on Four Weddings or another wedding show because my wedding would have won hands down. With the help of everyone at the yacht club, my wedding was one that people will be talking about for years to come. People said the food was the best they have ever had (Thanks Chef Rudy!) The Bar was fantastic (Thanks Jason!) The reception went super smoothly it was easy to take all of my belongings with me at the end of the night (Thanks Vita!) And my surprise entrance on a yacht was one that will be talked about forever (Thanks Zach!) Hands down, the best wedding of all time!

My now husband and I had our reception at the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and it was perfect! Working with Gina was great! She was so helpful and super sweet! From the day we signed our contract to the day of the wedding Gina was in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The service, food, ambiance was fabulous! Everything at the club was absolutely beautiful!! I would highly recommend anyone to use the club for their wedding venue! It is 5 star!!

My husband and I got married at Lighthouse Point Yacht club and it was truly amazing!! Our ceremony was outside,on the water and the setting was beautiful. Gina, the events coordinator, was extremely helpful and very nice to deal with. The reception was very nice as well. The food was very tasty and the staff was very attentive and pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the yacht club to any bride!!

9/25/2013 • Jessica N

The staff is amazing! The food is amazing! The Venue is amazing! Have it all in one place and have your guest feel like they the were never in the same venue. Backdrop to your ceremony is the intercostal, as it is for your cocktail hour and inside for your reception is beautiful. There is a back-up plan for bad weather...thats important! Prices are wonderful for what you get. Gina becomes your third mom - behind your mom and monther in law. Bridal party gets ready on-site. NOTHING WENT WRONG!!!! OUR BIG DAY WAS PERFECT!!!!

8/02/2013 • Andrea D

Gina, the banquet mgr, and the club employees were all wonderful and attentive. Communication was great and Gina made the process of planning easy. My only complaint was though we were the only wedding there, the club is still open to members during your wedding, and I wasn't comfortable with that because they kept distracting me and chatting with us the entire evening (Yes, even when I was standing there waiting for the cue to walk), so make sure you understand that going in. Other than that, everything was great, and Gina and staff were a wonderful help to a DIY bride such as myself. Our guests really enjoyed themselves! Thanks Gina!

From the moment I first saw the venue and spoke to Gina, the catering manager, I knew our wedding would be what I always dreamed it would be - nothing short of fantastic and outstanding! The venue was beautiful and the service was impeccable! We had our ceremony there as well. While the ceremony was suppose to be outside in their gazebo overlooking the marina, due to high winds and some light rain, we had to move it indoors at the last minute. The ceremony room turned out gorgeous for a last minute change. Food was beyond words...everyone raved how it was the best they ever tasted (we chose the Surf & Turf)! The wait staff was on top of everything at all times! They especially took care of the wedding party as we took pictures after the ceremony. They did not forget to come to us to make sure we were able to enjoy the horderves too. They took such great care in packing up all of the items I needed to take home such as my picture frames, champagne glasses, glass trinkets, etc. They were so careful with everything. The best part was the price, it really was a great deal compared to other venues on the beach! We had 119 people in attendance and the reception cost was below $20,000. If you want a beautifully executed wedding, then I strongly urge you to consider Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club for your venue - you will NOT BE disappointed! I simply cannot say enough about Gina Dube and her staff!

I felt so comfortable with her, the moment we met-- i knew she would make my wedding amazing & she definitely did. Lighthouse Point is the premier wedding location in South Florida and i would highly recommend it to anyone who is getting married. Staff is so accomodating and friendly, the food is delicious and the overall atmosphere is breathtaking. Thank you LPYC for making my dream wedding come true!!!!

Gina and all the staff at LPYRC made my event the most fabulous wedding I could have dreamed of! They are all so professional and helpful and accommodating to all whims a bride could think of. A beautiful setting, and exceptional food, made my wedding an event to remember, not only for my groom and myself, but for all of our guests!

We loved Lighthouse Point Yacht Club!!! It was so beautiful overlooking the water and yachts while getting married! We also had a a 1 hour cocktail and a 4 hour reception!!! Gina is the wedding planner at the venue and she made everything so easy and great! My husband and I loved her and all the help she gave to us! This was an amazing place for our family to celebrate with us as they were flying in from up north and Canada! It was truly a "Florida Fantacy Wedding!"
