Honestly, I’ve never met a 90-year-old who looked so good. The Breakers Palm Beach has the sophistication and class befitting it’s age, but with the outward, sparkling youth of something much newer. The substantial entrance, decadent details, intricately painted ceilings and thoughtfully laid out property paired with the new, sexy Flagler Club (their hotel-within-a-hotel) and newly renovated spa, leave visitors extending their stays and delaying their flights home.

Special occasions here are only limited by the imagination. The team at The Breakers don’t know the word “no,” and it shows. Having visited during a recent luxury wedding business summit called Engage! (look up #engage16 on Instagram to view the fabulousness!), it became apparent to me that this property and its staff are not just out of the ordinary, they are extraordinary.

Catering to every whim and request, the service here is unparalleled. It’s no surprise that celebrities, politicians and the world’s most discerning travelers choose The Breakers not only for their family vacations, but to host their events.

Any wedding here will be accompanied with outstanding food, breathtaking backdrops and envelope-pushing décor. With a majority of the hotel’s couples being from out of town, destination weddings are their specialty. The Breaker’s staff works seamlessly with outside vendors to create flawless events every time. 

A check-in at the new and improved spa is a must. Try the signature Quartz Massage.  Similar to a traditional Swedish massage, the difference here is the bed of tiny quartz crystals that you are placed upon. The smooth alpha quartz sand ensconces your body like a warm, thick cloud and the healing properties help release muscle tension, sending you into a dreamlike hypnosis. 

Make sure to check out the Flagler Club for the ultimate in pampering. Imagine a devoted, personal staff attending to your every need and private club lounge access with daily cocktails, full breakfast and refreshments throughout the day. The luxuriously appointed guest rooms and suites and the indulgent bath and body products by Jo Malone, will help you start your wedding off right. 

Celebrating your wedding, special occasion or honeymoon at The Breakers Palm Beach will be as timeless and heartfelt as the very love you’re celebrating.
