Does Friday's Cocktail Event have dinner included?
No. Friday's sunset drinks at the Ben rooftop is optional. This is not a "formal" wedding event. We we will have 2 tables reserved for immediate family only. The tables are first come first serve and there is large bar to grab drinks and watch the sunset. This event is for any wedding guests arriving into town early for the festivities. The Bride and Groom would love to enjoy a few drinks with guests already in town before they head off to a private dinner planned for immediate family. Please feel free to make table reservations or join them for a drink at the bar overlooking the waterfront.
Can I join the Pool/Cabana Day on Saturday @ The Breakers if I'm not staying at the hotel?
No. The Saturday pool day is an optional event for Breakers Hotel guests only. The hotel will not allow outside guests to the pool area. The Bride and Groom will have a small cabana (holds 6 ppl) for people to stop over and say hello during the pool day. If you are staying at the hotel, feel free to book your own cabana near our location. While we are allowed up to 6 guests only in our private cabana, we won't have space to support everyone for the entire pool day.
Cabana number is #25. Contact hotel reservations direct to book a cabana or see the "travel" tab for further details on pricing and booking details.

Anushka Spa and Venetian Nails (West Palm Beach @ The Square). These are steps away from the Canopy Hotel room block. Great for hair, nails, or spa services. The Breakers Spa located inside the Breakers Hotel.

PBI is the closest (10-15 minutes from Breakers).
FLL is the 2nd closest (45 minutes from Breakers).
MIA is 3rd closet (1- 1.5 hours from Breakers).
