Perfect location for our wedding! Spacious, clean, easy parking, beautiful structure, and affordable! Angel from Puff N Stuff was a joy to work with and the food was AMAZING.

The Palmetto Club at FishHawk Ranch is a gorgeous venue with timeless architecture and beautiful gardens that create a perfect backdrop for weddings. I’ve had the joy of photographing here, and the elegance of the space makes it easy to capture stunning, romantic images.

★★★★★ — Journeys, Aug 2025

The Palmetto Club is a comfortable facility for weddings, events and other small to medium sized events. It could really use another set of restrooms. Through 2020 the exterior was fully restored and seem to take forever.

★★★★★ — Jason, Feb 2022

Had my wedding here and the staff was exceptional! Bartenders were fast and professional. Staff got all the food out to our guests in a timely fashion. Kathy was amazing and made sure everything went according to plan.

Getting married at The Palmetto Club at FishHawk Ranch

The Palmetto Club at FishHawk Ranch comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
