Wedding Venue

Waterstone Resort and Marina

Boca Raton, FL

Waterstone Resort & Marina is Boca Raton's most intimate waterfront wedding venue — a boutique marina resort directly on the Intracoastal Waterway where luxury yachts, sailboats, and open water create a stunning and naturally glamorous backdrop. The resort's outdoor marina-side ceremony terrace, tropical gardens, event ballroom, and direct waterway access create a wedding experience with the genuine character of South Florida's boating lifestyle — sophisticated, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful. Its position just south of The Boca Raton resort makes it an ideal option for couples who want Boca Raton prestige with boutique intimacy and accessible pricing.

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 POMPANO BEACH AIRPARK, 6.9 miles away.
