Tucked behind a modest gate in West Palm Beach's El Cid neighborhood, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens is an enchanting two-acre tropical sanctuary that houses the life's work of renowned sculptor Ann Weaver Norton. Towering royal palms, rare cycads, and monumental granite sculptures create a dramatic and otherworldly garden setting unlike anything else in Palm Beach County. The intimate scale and deeply artistic character of the space make ceremonies here feel profoundly personal and memorable. For couples who love art, architecture, and botanical beauty, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens offers one of the most distinctive wedding backdrops in South Florida.
