Garden Wedding Venues In Miami
Garden weddings are an absolute dream — and Miami’s lush, tropical landscape makes them even more spectacular than you might imagine.
Best Time of The Year To Plan a Garden Wedding In Miami:
The best months for an outdoor garden wedding in Miami are November through early May. June through October is hurricane season, with daily afternoon thunderstorms and oppressive humidity. If you’re set on a summer date, jump to the indoor venues section below.
Options for a rainy day:
Miami weather is unpredictable year-round. A solid rain plan — whether that’s a tent or an indoor backup space — is non-negotiable. And whatever your Plan B is, make sure you love it just as much as Plan A.
Map & Details of Some of My Very Favorite Garden Venues in Miami:
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
Nothing says Miami Glam like Vizcaya. This iconic historic landmark offers stunning formal gardens and breathtaking bay views — the closest thing to a European estate you’ll find in South Florida.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding with old-world elegance, Vizcaya is it. Keep in mind that it is primarily an outdoor venue, so during the rainy season a tent is essential — and often required.
Vizcaya Location, Guest Capacity & Pricing:
Location: 3251 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33129
Max Guest Count: 300
Pricing: Vizcaya has a rental fee and a ceremony fee. Pricing varies depending on the day of the week and the size of the event. Depending on the size of your event and the time of the year, a tent might be required. Keep in mind, there is an additional charge for it. Get a quote for your event.

Villa Woodbine
This hidden gem is one of my personal favorites. A Mediterranean Renaissance Villa tucked in Coconut Grove, Villa Woodbine has a darling garden, European architecture, and an intimacy that larger venues simply can’t replicate.
One standout feature: during the rainy season (June through November), the garden is protected with a clear tent and an A/C unit — so you can enjoy the outdoor setting comfortably no matter the weather.
Villa Woodbine Location, Guest Capacity & Pricing:
Location: 2167 S Bayshore Dr, Miami, FL 33133

Pricing: Villa Woodbine fee varies depending on weekday vs weekend weddings. The venue rental fees don’t include catering, flowers, music, photography, or a wedding planner. Those are services that you need to hire separately. Get a quote for your event.

The Best Hotel Wedding Venues In Miami
Hosting your wedding at a hotel is a wise choice especially if you are looking for convenience. Hotels offer everything you need in one location, especially for couples who are planning a destination wedding or have many guests and family traveling from out of town.
Whether you’re dreaming of a grand ballroom affair or an intimate celebration, hotels have the flexibility to make your vision a reality.
Benefits of Hosting Your Wedding at a Hotel in Miami:
- Everything in one location — convenience for you and your guests
- Negotiated room blocks for traveling family and friends
- Indoor climate control (a real consideration in Miami’s heat)
- Many hotels offer both indoor and outdoor spaces for flexibility
- Food, beverage, and staffing handled in-house
Cons of Hosting Your Wedding at a Hotel in Miami:
- Hotels, especially in South Beach, are rarely fully private — other guests may be around
- Neighboring venues’ music can sometimes mix with your celebration
- Food and beverage minimums can add up quickly — always ask upfront

Indoor Miami Wedding Locations

Surrounded by world-class restaurants, bars, and some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, Miami Beach is perfect for couples who want their wedding weekend to feel like a full experience — not just a single day.
Planning a beach Wedding in Miami?
If you want to get married by the sea, then the best option is to host your wedding at a hotel by the beach and let them handle the details.
Although all the beaches in South Florida are public, it doesn’t mean that you can host a wedding at your convenience.
All events on the beach, even if they are ceremonies, require a permit from the city.

Frequently Asked Questions About Miami Wedding Venues
What are the most popular wedding venues in Miami?
Some of the most sought-after Miami wedding venues include Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Villa Woodbine, The Biltmore Hotel, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, and the Faena Hotel. Each offers a distinct style — from historic garden estates to contemporary luxury hotels. The “most popular” venue is the one that matches your vision, guest count, and budget.
How much do Miami wedding venues cost?
Miami wedding venue costs vary widely. Garden and historic estates typically charge a rental fee ranging from a few thousand dollars to $20,000+, not including catering or other services. Hotel venues usually work on food and beverage minimums, which can range from $20,000 to $80,000+ depending on the property and season. Always ask what is and isn’t included in the base fee.
What is the best outdoor wedding venue in Miami?
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Villa Woodbine, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, and Deering Estate are consistently among the most beautiful outdoor venues in Miami. For intimate celebrations, Miami Beach Botanical Gardens and Thalatta Estate are excellent options.
What Miami wedding venues are best for destination weddings?
Hotels are generally the best choice for destination weddings — they offer guest room blocks, on-site amenities, and a single location for the entire wedding weekend. Top destination wedding hotels in Miami include The Biltmore Hotel (Coral Gables), The Palms Hotel & Spa (Miami Beach), Faena, and St. Regis Bal Harbour.
How far in advance should I book a Miami wedding venue?
For peak season dates (October through April), booking 12 to 18 months in advance is strongly recommended — especially for popular Saturday dates. Off-peak months and weekday weddings typically have more flexibility.
Are there indoor wedding venues in Miami?
Yes — many Miami venues offer fully indoor spaces with air conditioning, which is an important consideration given the city’s heat and unpredictable weather. Options include The Biltmore Hotel ballrooms, JW Marriott Marquis, Fisher Island Club, The Club of Knights, The Dupon Building and The Temple House.
Can you get married on the beach in Miami?
Yes, but all beach events require a permit from the city — even small ceremonies. The most practical approach is to book a beachfront hotel that handles the permitting process and logistics for you. The National Hotel, Anaz Miami, and The Palms are great options for couples who want a beach ceremony.
What Miami wedding venues work for large weddings?
For guest counts of 300 or more, consider JW Marriott Marquis (up to 1,000 guests), Faena Hotel (600), The Alfred I. DuPont Building (600), The Biltmore Hotel (450), The Bath Club (450), and Loews Coral Gables (450).
What Miami wedding venues are best for small or intimate weddings?
Villa Woodbine, Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, Villa Casa Casuarina, The National Hotel, and Fisher Island Club are all excellent choices for smaller, more intimate celebrations.
Do Miami wedding venues include catering?
It depends on the venue. Hotel venues typically handle catering in-house. Standalone garden estates like Villa Woodbine and Vizcaya require you to hire outside caterers. Always clarify what’s included — and what’s not — before signing a contract.
