Why Fort Lauderdale hosts come west

Privacy the beach can't offer.

Fort Lauderdale venues come with beach traffic, parking hunts and shared spaces. Villa Verano is the other option: a private 5,500-square-foot estate in Loxahatchee, booked to one group at a time, with free on-site parking and no one else on the property.

The drive is roughly an hour northwest — easy for Broward County guests, and far enough that the celebration feels like a getaway instead of another night out on Las Olas.

The estate

Everything happens in one place.

Ceremony by the courtyard pool, cocktails on the stone patio, dinner in the great room, dancing under the patio lights — weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays and retreats for up to 70 guests flow across one private property with no room flips and no curfew from a shared venue.

Pool heating is available from October through March for $150 per day. The basketball court, fire pit and covered lounge keep guests moving between moments.

Overnight

Stay the night, skip the drive home.

Six bedrooms sleep up to 15, so the wedding party or the birthday crew doesn't face the late-night drive back to Broward. Estate stays start at $650 per night, and the gourmet kitchen covers the morning after.

The villa is pet-friendly for up to 2 dogs, and extra guests find hotels about 20 minutes east in Wellington and West Palm Beach.
