Boca Moving Company
Movers in Wellington, Florida
Boca Moving Company moves homes across Wellington, from gated golf communities and townhomes to equestrian estates, and plans each move around your community's gate, its rules and the winter show season. You get a written, itemized estimate before any work starts, and a $250 deposit holds a local move date.
Moving in a village built around horses
Wellington became a village on December 31, 1995, and with 61,637 residents in the 2020 census it is the most populous village in Florida. The village holds more than forty weeks of equestrian competition a year, and its Equestrian Preserve Area covers about 9,000 acres where development is kept at low density with horse owners in mind.
For a mover, that changes the job. An equestrian property in Palm Beach Point can come with barns and riding facilities, and the house is only part of what moves. We start with a video call or an in-home walkthrough so the estimate covers every building, not just the bedrooms. Large pieces get measured against doorways and turns, and every piece is padded and wrapped inside your home.
Gated communities and HOA rules in Wellington
Many Wellington neighborhoods sit behind a gate. Some, like Olympia, Palm Beach Polo, Grand Prix Village, Palm Beach Point and Equestrian Club, have a staffed guard gate. Others, like Wellington Parc and parts of Binks Forest, use electronic access. Each association sets its own rules, so we ask for them before we book the crew.
- Gate list: we give the guardhouse or the manager the crew and truck details ahead of time.
- Move hours: many associations only allow moving trucks on certain days and hours. We schedule the crew inside that window.
- Truck size and parking: some communities limit truck size or where a truck can park. We pick the truck and plan the loading spot to fit.
- Certificate of insurance: if your association or building asks for one, we send it to the manager.
- Common areas: we protect what your community requires.
Planning around the winter equestrian season
The Winter Equestrian Festival at Wellington International, 3400 Equestrian Club Drive, runs from January 6 to April 4, 2027. For the 2026 season, organizers expected more than 31,000 competitors from over 50 countries and all 50 states, and many top riders use Wellington as their home base for the winter.
If you are coming for the season, plan the move in for before the first week of January and the move out for after early April. If you split the year between Wellington and another home, we can move the long distance part under our own federal authority and keep what you do not need this season in our storage vaults until you return.
School year moves and clearing out the house
Wellington's public schools are run by the School District of Palm Beach County, with seven elementary schools and three middle schools in the village. The 2026 to 2027 school year runs from August 10, 2026 to May 27, 2027, so families who want to move between school years have the weeks from late May to early August.
If you are clearing out before the move, the village's bulk pickup rules are worth knowing. Pickup is on Wednesday, with a six-item weekly limit. Mattresses and box springs must be fully wrapped in plastic and taped, boxes must be flattened and no longer than four feet, and bundled boxes cannot weigh more than 40 pounds. For estate and downsizing moves, we can also haul away items that are not moving.
Moving between Wellington and the rest of South Florida
A move from Wellington to Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach or anywhere in Palm Beach and Broward counties is a local move, priced the same as any other local move. Moving farther? Boca Moving Company holds its own federal authority for interstate household goods moves (U.S. DOT No. 4320562, MC-1685659). Every long distance move starts with a survey of your goods, in person or by live video, and a written estimate that says on its face whether it is binding or non-binding. You receive the federal booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move with your estimate. Once you sign, a deposit of 35% of the estimate total reserves your date.
What a Wellington move costs
Local moves within Palm Beach and Broward counties are priced by the hour: from $170 an hour with 2 movers or $230 with 3 movers, with a 3-hour minimum that includes 1 hour of travel, plus $120 for fuel. Homes with 4 or more bedrooms and moves with packing get a video or in-home estimate first, so the price fits the job.
The written estimate you sign before the move is your price. A $250 deposit holds a local date.
Questions about moving in Wellington
Do you move homes in gated Wellington communities like Olympia or Palm Beach Polo?
Yes. Send us your association's moving rules or your manager's email. We get the crew and truck on the gate list, schedule the move inside your community's hours and send a certificate of insurance if your association asks for one.
When should I book a move for the Winter Equestrian Festival?
The 2027 festival runs from January 6 to April 4, 2027. Ask for your move in date well before early January and your move out date for after early April, so you have more choice. What you leave behind can wait in our storage vaults.
Can you move what is in the barn and guest house as well as the main house?
Tell us about every building during the estimate. We list each item on your written estimate, so nothing is a surprise on moving day. Horses themselves travel with an equine transporter, not a household goods mover.
