Great venue for a fun and unique wedding

Response from vendor•Apr 12, 2025Cheers to many more events together!A stunning, unique venue!
Royal Palms has always held a special place in our hearts. At the beginning of our relationship, I joined a league with my now-husband’s best friends. Shuffleboard (and Shuffleboard Bobs) brought us together, and they welcomed me into the group. We were league regulars and made some great memories, even though we rarely won a game. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted an untraditional wedding experience and were so excited that Royal Palms was willing to host us - their first wedding! Their events coordinator, Taylor, was just as enthusiastic and worked closely with us to plan an incredible event. We walked down a shuffleboard aisle on the roof while the Blue Line passed behind us, making for some incredible photos. Captain Scott gave our guests tutorials while they ate Big Star tacos from a truck and drank amazing cocktails. The energy was incredible, and it meant the world to us to see our families and friends connecting over rounds of shuffleboard. Hosting was easy - the space is already so beautiful that we did not bring in any decorations! No flowers or linens needed. Catering from a food truck was fun and unique. The photo station was fully stocked with props. The AV equipment was ready for a DJ and we kept our custom playlist bumping all night. The bartenders kept energy high and drinks flowing all night (truly the best bar in the city, in my opinion!). We danced and ate and played for hours. Our guests still talk about this night to this day. It was a party to remember, which is exactly what we wanted. Even better than the wonderful memories, pictures, and stories is the fact that we can go back whenever we want to relive the night. Even after two kids, we still make a point of playing a round of shuffleboard every year on our anniversary - it will be 6 years this fall! We cannot thank the Royal Palms staff enough for working with us. They are high-energy and fun, and they are also professional and take their clients’ experience very seriously. You would never know ours was their first wedding - they had every single detail covered, resulting in a seamless night. I look back on that night with nothing but happy memories. I wouldn’t change a single thing!
Response from vendor•Apr 12, 2025Erin! We’re absolutely over the moon knowing that we could help create such a joyful, one-of-a-kind celebration. Your story is such a beautiful reminder of the love we have for this place and this space! You were one of the very first couples to get married on our rooftop, and we still talk about that magical day — the Blue Line rolling by, the shuffleboard aisle, the incredible energy your guests brought with them. It was unforgettable for all of us too! We’re so honored to be part of your love story, and even more honored that Royal Palms has continued to be part of your anniversary tradition. That’s the dream! Your kind words mean the world to our team — it’s why we do what we do. Cheers to many more years of love, laughter, and shuffleboard.Royal Palms and their team are truly AMAZING!
Not only is the space full of cool vibes and fun activities, but the staff is also incredibly thoughtful and caring. We hosted an event last summer, and while the weather threatened to throw a wrench in our plans, Royal Palms was one step ahead with backup options and unwavering support. Their attention to detail and calm, proactive approach made all the difference. We love working with them and can’t wait for many more events together. Highly recommend!
