A landmark of Fort Lauderdale since 1956, Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina sits on the Intracoastal Waterway with sweeping views of one of the largest marina complexes in South Florida. The property offers a dramatic rooftop space, elegant indoor ballrooms, and waterfront terraces where yachts glide past in the background of every photo. Its iconic revolving rooftop lounge provides a one-of-a-kind cocktail hour experience above the city. Couples who want a sophisticated nautical backdrop combined with five-star event service will find Pier Sixty-Six an unmatched choice in Broward County.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from FT LAUDERDALE BEACH, 2.8 miles away.
