Venue Rental

MEET. CELEBRATE. DISCOVER.

Manatee Lagoon is a one-of-a-kind event venue featuring panoramic, waterfront views and multifunctional space options for meetings and events, large and small. It's one of the few venues in the world where you can catch glimpses of Florida's favorite marine mammal glide by as you take in the picturesque views of the surrounding Lake Worth Lagoon.

The facility is just minutes away from Palm Beach International Airport as well as the Brightline train station in Downtown West Palm Beach. Brightline passengers automatically qualify for the Brightline+ program, in which one ticket takes you all the way from the train, to transportation, to our gorgeous venue, seamlessly! 

From corporate functions to elegant weddings, Manatee Lagoon is a memorable venue that will make a big impact on your guests.
