Weddings here feel like a private party hosted by old money Florida royalty — stylish, effortlessly chic, and infused with decades of social history. The hotel's boutique scale keeps events intimate and personal, making every guest feel like they are in on something special. For couples who want to live inside a Palm Beach moment, The Colony is the dream.

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, 3.8 miles away.
