When the city comes with yachts, waterfront sunsets, and palm-lined courtyards, the bar for unusual event spaces is naturally higher. Unusual venues in Fort Lauderdale range from docked yachts and rooftop lounges overlooking the Intracoastal to tropical courtyards where the setting does half the work for you. Wedding receptions, brand launches, and birthday celebrations all suit Fort Lauderdale especially well, particularly when the setting brings a little drama of its own. Being close to Las Olas Boulevard only adds to the appeal when dinner or after-hours plans are part of the mix. Have a look and choose a venue that feels anything but standard.
