Choose a table, then a chair. The view is at a seated guest's eye height, toward the dance floor.
A pitch model of The Breakers' Ocean Lawn and Ponce de Leon Ballroom, built from public plans and surveys. It is not a survey.
- Plans
- The ballroom is drawn from The Breakers' floor plan to within half a metre, the lawn from its plan and published 8,400 sf. Ornament is not on the plans and is shown plainly.
- Hotel
- Outlines from OpenStreetMap; heights from the Library of Congress survey of the hotel (HABS FL-228) and a 1972 photograph, within 1.5 to 3 m.
- Sun
- Computed for your date at the Ocean Lawn with NOAA's solar equations. Sunrise and sunset match published tables to the minute.
- Shade
- From the model's buildings, so shade times carry their tolerance: about a quarter of an hour.
- Looks
- The three looks are stand-ins until The Breakers' Design Studio supplies its packages. Each option names a line item a vendor can deliver.
- Prices
- Estimates from published Palm Beach and national price ranges, before tax and service charge. The Breakers' own prices will replace them.
- Dinner
- Sections, sizes and capacities from The Breakers' capacity chart. Tables, dance floor and stage follow trade spacing; decor is lit from the ballroom's baked light.
- If it rains
- The ceremony moves to the smallest room dinner is not using that the capacity chart seats your guests in, theatre-style, at three quarters of its figure to leave the aisle and the arch. The Breakers sets the real rain plan and when it is called.
- Sound
- Made by the page, not recorded: the sea and the wind, and a harp playing Pachelbel's Canon (a public-domain work) for the walk and a waltz written for this preview for the first dance. Songs you add play from your device in this tab only; they are never saved or sent.
