Need to plan a new wedding in 5 weeks

Irma took a hard hit on our wedding venue in the Keys, and today we decided to cancel it. The venue doesn't have an exact recovery timeline, but they are allowing cancellations without penalty through October (which probably means they'll still be doing clean up and recovery, and we figured we shouldn't wait any longer to decide). I'm pretty devastated. And we now have 5 weeks to plan something else. The flights are all booked (and they're non-refundable), so we are looking for something else in the Miami area - possibly Palm Beach?? I don't know the Miami area well (I live in PA), and probably won't get down there to look at places. I'm checking on the local venues on WW, but also wanted to post here... partly to vent, partly to see if anyone has any recommendations (venue, hair, flowers...) in the Palm Beach/Miami/Ft Lauderdale area. It's a small wedding - 20 adults, 11 kids. Any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks OP and Sara&L
OP, if you have any more questions you can email the mods for my contact info. We toured a lot of venues and interviewed a ton of vendors around Palm Beach.

Not sure what your budget is and this venue may be way too big, but The Tides in West Palm Beach is BEAUTIFUL.

@ OP if you end of having your ceremony in the West Palm area at all...check out Palm Beach Hibiscus house for the rehearsal dinner. We just put our deposit there for our rehearsal dinner last week. We went to check it out and they have an indoor and outdoor area. It kind of has that laid back key west outdoor tropical feel to it. It's really obscure and doesn't really show up on searches...I think we only found it through a recommendation from somebody else. If you do call Amanda Azar tell her Shana sent you. She's freaking amazing...I'm not thrilled to show my before and after because I look like crap but I will post it so you understand how amazeballs she is....she lives in Broward so will travel to Palm Beach or Miami. Going to post from mobile...
