Andaz Miami Beach Wedding Guide:

Hotel Location:

Andaz Miami Beach is located at 4041 Collins Avenue, right in the heart of Mid-Beach—one of Miami’s most vibrant and stylish neighborhoods.

This stretch of Collins sits between the buzz of South Beach and the luxury of Bal Harbour, giving your guests easy access to restaurants, nightlife, and beautiful beaches. Plus, the hotel is just a 20-minute drive from Miami International Airport, making it incredibly convenient for out-of-town guests flying in for the celebration.

Whether you’re planning pre-wedding brunches, beachside ceremonies, or a late-night afterparty, the location makes it easy to turn your wedding into a full Miami experience.

Andaz Miami Beach Wedding Cost:

Andaz Miami Beach offers three wedding collections—Amour, Eros, and Agape—each designed to reflect your style and priorities. Each can be customized to match your vision, with flexibility across guest count, season, and package details.

Your wedding investment includes two main components: a venue site rental fee (which varies depending on your chosen space—rooftop terrace, ballroom, beach setting, etc.) and a per-person food and beverage minimum. Additional service charges and taxes apply to your food and beverage total.

For a wedding of 100 guests starting at the Amour collection, couples can expect an initial investment of approximately $30,400 (before taxes and service charges). This covers the venue site rental and food and beverage only—additional vendors such as photography, florals, and entertainment are separate.

Since pricing varies significantly based on season, guest count, venue space, and specific inclusions, it’s best to contact the hotel directly for a custom proposal. The events team is helpful, responsive, and happy to walk you through your options and break down exactly what each collection includes.

Please contact the hotel for current pricing and availability.

Wedding Spaces the Andaz Miami Beach offers:

Andaz Miami Beach offers 4 unique event spaces spread across 30,000 square feet. With multiple indoor and outdoor options, you can design a celebration that feels entirely yours, whether that’s an intimate gathering or a full dance-until-midnight celebration.

The Vista Terrace is a standout. This rooftop space crowns the Miami Beach skyline with panoramic ocean views. The retractable enclosure provides flexibility. You can open it fully for that oceanfront breeze or close it if you need some protection from the sun. The contemporary design stays clean and minimal, letting the views be the star. It’s stunning at sunset for a ceremony or golden hour cocktail hour, and the modern architecture photographs beautifully.

The Andaz Ballroom is the largest indoor space with a sleek pre-function area and wraparound terrace illuminated by bistro lights. The ballroom terrace works beautifully for cocktail hour or as an extension of your reception.

The Crown Ballroom features a modern design flooded with natural light. It’s sophisticated and stylish—perfect if you want polished without feeling stuffy.

The Upper Pool sits high above the Miami Beach shoreline with panoramic ocean views and sparkling illuminated waters. By night, it can be transformed thanks to its flexible hydraulic deck—perfect for cocktail hour.

The Lower Pool Area offers multiple terrace options for a more relaxed poolside celebration.

The Beach is perfect for a ceremony. Just keep in mind that beaches in Florida are public.

The Olazul Club House is a preserved 1930s Spanish-style beach house that provides architectural contrast and character. It feels like stepping into Miami history. This is perfect for intimate celebrations, micro weddings, or rehearsal dinners. The adjoining Olazul Lawn works beautifully as an extension for a smaller celebration or ceremony.

Wedding Day Experience

A typical Andaz wedding flows naturally through the hotel’s multiple spaces.

Couples and their wedding parties get ready in hotel rooms with ocean or city views, which simplifies logistics and keeps everyone close together.

For first looks, you have flexibility: the rooftop terrace and pool areas offer stunning backdrops with contemporary architecture and ocean views, or you can use one of the modern indoor lobbies or ballrooms for a more private moment. Keep in mind that Andaz is an operating hotel, so while your event spaces are exclusively yours, you may encounter other hotel guests in common areas—something to consider when planning intimate moments like first looks.

Ceremonies can take place on the rooftop terrace at sunset, beachfront with the ocean behind you, or in one of the indoor ballrooms for a more traditional setting. The hotel’s flexibility means your ceremony location can connect seamlessly to your cocktail and reception spaces—no transportation of guests required.

Cocktail hour typically happens poolside or on a terrace, taking advantage of the views and contemporary setting. Dinner and dancing move indoors to one of the ballrooms or remain poolside depending on your vision and guest count. The hotel allows events to run until 2:00 AM, so you have plenty of time for dinner, toasts, dancing, and celebration.

Best Time to Get Married at Andaz Miami Beach:

With ocean views and tropical backdrops, Andaz Miami Beach works beautifully in every season, but timing can shape your experience.

If you’re hoping for cooler air, clear skies, and that perfect golden-hour light on the rooftop terrace, consider planning between late fall and early spring (November to April). These months offer Miami’s most pleasant weather and are ideal for outdoor events. Just keep in mind—it’s peak season, so expect higher demand across venues and vendors.

Looking for something quieter or more budget-friendly? Summer and early fall (May to October) often come with more availability and flexible pricing. While it’s warmer and you’ll want a solid rain plan, many couples still host beautiful, joy-filled weddings during this time. Just be mindful that hurricane season peaks in August through October, so event insurance is a smart move.

Whatever your season, the Andaz team knows how to make the experience feel stylish, effortless, and totally you.

How Many Guests Can You Host?

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full dance-until-midnight celebration, Andaz Miami Beach has flexible spaces to match your vision.

The hotel can accommodate weddings of up to 140 guests for a seated dinner, with smaller spaces available for elopements, micro weddings, or pre-wedding events like welcome cocktails and brunches.

From beachfront views to modern interiors, the vibe stays effortlessly cool, no matter your guest count.

Guest Experience & Accommodations for Out-of-Towners

One of the best parts about hosting your wedding at Andaz Miami Beach? Your guests are in for a true Miami experience from the moment they arrive.

The hotel is located right on Collins Avenue, just steps from the beach and within walking distance of some of the city’s best restaurants, boutiques, and iconic Art Deco architecture. Whether your guests want to sip cocktails poolside, explore Ocean Drive, or grab a cafecito and people-watch, there’s something for everyone—no car needed.

The venue also houses Bar Centro and Aguasal, both collaborative restaurants from the award-winning José Andrés Group.

For out-of-town guests, staying at the hotel means being in the heart of the action with elevated amenities. The rooms feature ocean or city views, giving your crew the perfect place to relax, recharge, and celebrate with you all weekend long.

Wedding Vendors:

Andaz Miami Beach partners with some of the most talented vendors in Miami and shares a curated list with couples to help simplify the planning process.

That said, you’re welcome to bring in your own vendor team, as long as they’re properly insured and approved by the venue. Just keep in mind that catering is exclusively provided by the hotel’s culinary team, and trust me, they deliver a beautiful dining experience.

At What Time Does The Party End?

If you’re planning to dance all night, you’re in luck—Andaz Miami Beach allows events to go until 2:00 AM. That means plenty of time for dinner, toasts, a packed dance floor, and whatever else you want to include in your celebration. Just be sure to check with the hotel about sound restrictions or setup timing based on your event space.

Is Andaz Miami Beach Right for Your Wedding?

Perfect if you’re looking for:

• Contemporary, minimalist design aesthetic
• Modern architecture that photographs beautifully
• Multiple indoor/outdoor options
• Oceanfront location with sophistication
• Out-of-town guest convenience
• Flexible event spaces for 10-140+ guests
• Clean, uncluttered aesthetic that lets your personal style shine

Not ideal if you:

• Want a sprawling garden or lush botanical setting (this is architectural design-focused)
• Prefer heavy traditionalism or ornate details (modern minimalism won’t match that vision)
• Want full privacy. While your event space is exclusively yours, the hotel remains open to other guests during your wedding, and you may encounter them in common areas
