The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is West Palm Beach's most prestigious cultural venue — a stunning performing arts complex with dramatic event spaces, a grand outdoor plaza overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, and state-of-the-art event infrastructure that creates a theatrical and genuinely spectacular backdrop for Palm Beach County weddings. The venue's grand lobby, outdoor terrace facing the waterway, and the sheer architectural drama of the building set against the West Palm Beach skyline deliver a wedding setting that communicates sophistication and cultural ambition — ideal for couples who want their event to feel like an opening night.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from WEST PALM BEACH INTL AP, 3.4 miles away.
