Weddings guide

Wondering if Palm Heights is a good choice for your destination wedding? This guide covers what couples care about most: the Rooftop Venue, the room categories your guests can book, the dining and bar options on site, the planning flow, and the real pros and cons, so you can decide whether this all-ages resort fits your wedding style.

Quick takeaway:

Wedding Packages at Palm Heights (What to Ask About)

Destination wedding packages vary by property and season, so the details below are the questions to confirm with the wedding team before you book. Ask what is included in the base package and which upgrades are available.

Questions to confirm (base package)

  • Which coordination and planning support is included, and at what stages
  • What ceremony setup comes with the Rooftop Venue (seating, basic décor, aisle)
  • Whether a wedding cake and a toast are included
  • Which room categories are offered at the group or wedding rate
  • What happens if the rooftop plan needs a change due to weather
Tip: Because Palm Heights is all-ages, ask early whether your package includes any family-specific arrangements, such as a kids' program or a separate kid-friendly reception area, so you can plan the day around them.

Upgrades couples commonly consider

  • Reception extras: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night snacks
  • Décor: ceremony arch or florals, aisle styling, lounge seating, lighting
  • Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu or wine selection
  • Photography and video, hair and makeup
  • Private dinners at Tillies, Coconut Club, Yashinoki, or Paradise Pizza
Planning shortcut: Plan the ceremony for late afternoon when the light is softer and the air is cooler, then move the celebration into the evening once the sun has set.
