Jupiter Beach Resort is an amazing place to be married. They worked with us for months to plan our perfect wedding day. From the very beginning, they understood exactly the kind of party we wanted to have and helped us to celebrate our special day without a single worry. I can not begin to describe their level of professionalism and how responsive they are to every concern, no matter how big or small. Every detail is covered by Jonathan and his amazing team!

Jonathan is a ROCK STAR!
We got married at the Gazebo at 6:30pm on 4/24. It was perfect. Jonathan just made everything a breeze, no hassles. Everything was always "ok, sure, whatever you want". Jonathan defiantly has this "laid-back Florida mentality" but he was really on top of everything, don't let him fool you!
Kudos to you Jonathan!!!! Thanks for making our wedding so easy, exactly what we wanted.

Our wedding ceremony and reception were picture perfect and stress-free as Jonathon and Amy promised they would be. They had every detail taken care of and definitely went the extra mile to make sure that everything was beyond our expectations. They set us at ease the day before the ceremony, promising that they would make sure everything was perfect and that we wouldn't have to worry about anything. They were very flexible and accommodating as our ceremony/reception began to fall behind schedule due to a bit of rain right before the ceremony. They arranged our favors beautifully and even incorporated some decorations from a party the night before. The food tasted like a million bucks and it looked even better, an absolutely beautiful presentation. Everyone was raving about both the ceremony and reception areas, as well as the food. And finally, the service...I've never been treated so well in my life...They truly made us feel like royalty.
Thank you to Jonathon, Amy, and Stacy for going above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect.
I also got my hair and make-up done at the Spa in the resort, and I could not have been happier with how they both turned out. I believe the stylist was Madeline and the make-up artist Kristy. They both did an incredible job!

We thank our lucky stars that we chose the Jupiter Beach Resort as the venue for our daughter's wedding reception. The staff could not have been more gracious and easy to work with. Once we told them our vision, we felt confident it would happen as we described. We were given assurances and we felt the confidence right away they would deliver. Oh boy, did they ever! Our friends and family have told us it was the most magnificent setting. People are emailing to this day asking if we could go back and have the exact same food again for dinner! The day went so smoothly. We had a few last minute issues that came up. True to form, the Jupiter Beach Resort took those issues from us and said not to worry, and we didn't! I cannot praise them enough for a most memorable evening. The staff was always smiling and pleasant.
We also booked a morning after brunch that was so terrific. We had our own private area, with live music playing in the background. Our out of towners have told us they have never been to such a beautiful setting before. Thank you, thank you, thank you for wonderful, memorable, beautiful weekend.
Our hotel guests also raved about the accommodations at the hotel. On a scale of 1 - 10, I give the Jupiter Beach Resort a 20!!!

All of our guests raved about the food! One comment, never received back my sea shells that were on our cake, or table accessories.

My wedding at the Jupiter Beach Resort was so great! I chose the venue since they are located right on a private beach in a not-too busy area of Palm Beach. I worked with Jonathan Lester and he and his team did a great job with the wedding. Jonathan seemed very coordinated, like he's done this a million times (and I'm sure he has).
Prior to the wedding, there were a couple issues with communication -- apparently they had some intermittent server issues and lost some emails. That did seem to get resolved and I didn't experience any other issues. Jonathan is very nice and happy to answer any questions ahead of time. I even ordered the chivari chairs through him and saved a lot of money than if I went directly through an outside vendor.
The A/V Team took care of our ceremony music via iPod. I heard there was a slight hitch gearing up the processional music, which probably came only from me using my iPhone (he might've gotten locked out so my husband had to help out), but other than that they did a great job for just being handed an iPod and saying "Play these playlists". They also did a great job in the reception area with the uplighting (included in the package) - I chose 2 blue lights inside (dancing area), and 2 outside (dinner area) and it looked so good!
The food was FANTASTIC! I have to say, I didn't get any appetizers because I was so busy running around saying hi to people, but I was told they were excellent (the Best Man claimed he had at least 10 of the bacon wrapped scallops). I had the steak for dinner and it was very good, as was the salad (the raspberry vinaigrette dressing was very tasty). We had champagne waiting for the entire wedding party after the recessional, which was fantastic. And while we were getting ready that morning, I called down for breakfast platters (which they didn't have, only individual portions) but they immediately said they would make something up for us. A cart arrived with platters of bagels, fruit and a pitcher orange juice, and it was even nicely decorated with flowers!
The bartender at the reception was very accommodating and made us some great drinks. I did hear that some of my younger-looking (though still 25+ yrs old) friends had some issues getting drinks and had to run and get their IDs up in the room, so heads up to let your guests know that they are very careful about who they serve and do require ID (though of course, me and my husband had no problems all night - if we walked up, we were her first priority).
We chose to have our wedding on a Friday night to save money and it turned out really well. We were the only wedding that night and felt like we had the place to ourselves.
The one hitch we really had was being called to go down to the ceremony. We were told that each room (Bride's and Groom's) would be called a couple times leading up to the wedding - a check in call, and then a "We're ready for you" call. I do remember getting a call maybe 30 minutes before we left, but I didn't get one letting me know it was time to go down - instead, my DOC came and got us. The boys, however, didn't get a call at all, and my dad showed up at their room and said "We're late, let's go!". So while the boys were supposed to be downstairs, on their way to the ceremony, they were actually behind me and my bridesmaids, which resulted in my husband seeing me in my dress before the ceremony! It didn't kill the night or anything, but it was disappointing that the coordination kind of fell apart there.
Overall, the day was a big success and I'm so happy we chose JBR for our venue. They comped us a wonderful Suite for our wedding night and it had chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne waiting for us when we got up there. We even had an afterparty in there (with about 20-30 people) and while we did get 1 noise complaint, they let us be after that for the rest of the night! I highly recommend the resort to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding experience, they really do go above and beyond and it's a beautiful location to get married!
PS. JBR - you need a Getting Ready Room! It was fine to rent a room the night before for me and all my bridesmaids (and the groom/groomsmen), but on the day of, we had to check out at 12:00. We had to have family members, who were planning on staying there on the wedding night, take over our rooms once we were done getting ready. We had housekeeping change the sheets/give them new towels, but it was still a big pain to have to juggle all the check in/check out/switch rooms issues.

We had an awesome experience at the JBR for our wedding. There were a few hick-ups along the way, but once we were on site, the staff was super friendly and made sure they took care of everything we needed.
The room block for our guests was a nightmare. The sales manager/reservations manger were not accommodating and they kept trying to give our guests the worst rooms in the house. We had over 40 rooms booked at the hotel and generated a lot revenue for them.
The rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch were all catered fabulously. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. The steak was out-of-this-world good! We were very impressed that they could feed 125 and have the food be as excellent as it was for every single person.
The ladies in the spa/salon were great too. Very friendly and genuinely happy to be a part of the festivities.
My husband and I and our family went back to the resort 6 months later and everyone still remember us and were as friendly as can be. This was also pretty impressive since they have around 8 weddings almost every weekend.
We would definitely...
