Coconut Grove Estate Venues
If you want a venue with built-in architectural character, Coconut Grove’s estates are a great place to start. Both properties pair established grounds and mature landscaping with distinctive period details, creating a beautiful foundation that can be personalized with décor and rentals to match your wedding style.
These venues are especially well suited to intimate and mid-sized celebrations, with spaces that can accommodate guest lists up to roughly 300 while maintaining the character and atmosphere that make an estate wedding feel special.
1. Villa Woodbine
Villa Woodbine is a Mediterranean Renaissance estate built in the 1930s by architect Walter De Garmo, with Spanish archways, sweeping courtyards, and Cuban tile and craftsmanship throughout the interior. Bill Hansen Catering holds the exclusive catering contract here, so your menu, bar, and staffing all run through one vendor instead of a list you assemble yourself. That simplifies vendor coordination, but it also means you can’t bring in an outside caterer if you already have one in mind.
The venue doesn’t publish a guest capacity on its own site, so ask for the exact number, along with whether the garden can be tented for a full rain-or-shine ceremony, before you tour. A garden wedding here without a confirmed tent option leaves you without a ceremony backup if a storm moves through during hurricane season.
2. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens caps weddings at 300 total guests, with the Main House Courtyard holding up to 100 for an indoor ceremony or reception and the East Terrace handling up to 300 for a larger reception overlooking Biscayne Bay. Vizcaya provides the 1916 Italian Renaissance villa and gardens only: catering, rentals, and décor all come from the museum’s approved vendor list, and the museum won’t issue an event permit for an outside caterer.
Evening rentals run 6:30 to 11 p.m. for a flat fee covering up to 100 guests, and any event over 90 guests requires a tent, since the East Terrace sits fully outdoors along the bay. A separate daytime garden ceremony option caps at 25 guests; check this if your ceremony and reception don’t need to share one headcount. This landmark draws heavy wedding demand, so start the inquiry well before a standard 12-to-18-month engagement timeline.
Wynwood Arts District Venues
For couples drawn to contemporary design, Wynwood’s converted-warehouse venues offer a distinctive setting where art and architecture become part of the celebration.
These former industrial spaces have been transformed into galleries with open layouts, exposed architectural details, and art-filled walls, creating a modern backdrop that can be personalized to fit your wedding style.
3. The M Building
The M Building occupies a restored 1950s manufacturing warehouse, redesigned by architect Chad Oppenheim into a 12,000-square-foot, two-story structure with five separate gallery spaces and a tropical garden courtyard. Confirm capacity and furniture inclusion with the venue, since neither is published on its own site, and ask which of the five gallery rooms fits your guest count before assuming the whole building is available for your date.
That garden courtyard is the rare part: most Wynwood venues built inside old warehouses stay fully indoors, so The M Building lets you move a ceremony outside without leaving the building’s gallery walls behind, something most other converted warehouses in the neighborhood can’t offer. Wynwood’s street parking is limited on event nights, so guests arriving by rideshare should expect a short walk from the drop-off point to the entrance.
4. Wynwood Walls
Wynwood Walls holds up to 2,900 guests across four outdoor garden areas and two indoor gallery spaces, a bigger range than most Miami wedding venues can offer and enough room for a large reception built around the neighborhood’s mural walls as a backdrop.
The venue works from a curated list of preferred vendors, not an open policy, so check that list against any caterer, florist, or planner you already have in mind before booking. Murals throughout Wynwood are painted over and replaced on a rotating basis, so the specific wall you see on a tour may not be the one behind you on your wedding date. Ask the venue for a rough repainting schedule if a specific mural is the reason you’re considering this space.
South Beach Hotel Venues
If full hotel service matters more than a standalone architectural space, South Beach’s oceanfront hotels handle nearly everything in-house: catering, room blocks for out-of-town guests, and a built-in indoor backup if weather turns.
Both hotels sit directly on Collins Avenue, and the choice between them mostly comes down to rooftop versus ground-level ceremony.
5. 1 Hotel South Beach
1 Hotel South Beach puts your ceremony roughly 18 stories above Collins Avenue on the Rooftop East End, which holds up to 100 guests for a reception-style event. Three larger on-site spaces handle both ceremony and reception without moving to a second property partway through the day:
- Ocean Terrace: up to 250 guests
- Terra Ballroom: up to 600 guests
- Tala Beach: up to 500 guests
Booking a room block here means out-of-town guests can walk from their room to the ceremony, cutting transportation planning down to nearly zero. Wind is a factor at 18 stories up; ask the hotel what their contingency plan is if wind speeds make an open-air rooftop ceremony unsafe on your date. That’s a different risk than the ground-level rain plans most Miami venues need. Expect this property to price at the top end for Miami wedding venues, given ocean views and full hotel service.
6. Loews Miami Beach Hotel
Loews Miami Beach Hotel ceremonies happen at ground level on the hotel’s oceanfront lawn, a different setup from 1 Hotel’s rooftop format and a better fit if you want guests walking barefoot from ceremony to cocktail hour with no elevator in between.
The hotel keeps a separate capacity chart instead of listing guest numbers on its main wedding pages, so ask for it when you inquire; lawn capacity varies by how the space is configured for your reception. If a storm is possible on your date, the Americana Ballroom and Poinciana Ballroom both serve as indoor backup space, so ask which one the hotel would move your specific ceremony size into, not just whether backup space exists in general.
Full hotel coordination comes with the same built-in room-block advantage as any beachfront resort wedding: no shuttle service to arrange between where guests sleep and where you say your vows.
Biscayne Bay Waterfront Venues
Biscayne Bay’s waterfront properties split between a 444-acre historic estate and a modern purpose-built event space, and both share the same water view, so the choice here comes down to era and formality instead. Guests arriving by boat is an option at one of these two, uncommon among Miami wedding venues overall.
7. Deering Estate
A 444-acre public historic site with this much bay-front lawn works out well in advance, so start the inquiry process for Deering Estate as early as your engagement allows if a specific Saturday matters to you.
The Front Lawn holds more than 1,000 guests along Biscayne Bay, room enough for a large reception that has outgrown a typical ballroom, while the historic Courtyard seats up to 300 for a more intimate ceremony framed by the estate’s early buildings.
The Stone House, the estate’s indoor Great Hall, is currently closed for renovation, which removes Deering Estate‘s only indoor ceremony option until it reopens. Catering runs on a bring-your-own-vendor model instead of an in-house package: you hire the caterer, florist, and planner you want, then coordinate each one yourself instead of working through a single venue contact.
8. Briza on the Bay
Briza on the Bay holds up to 340 guests for a seated dinner or 600 for a cocktail-style reception, with 14-foot windows along the main ballroom keeping the Biscayne Bay view part of the room instead of something you step outside to see. In-house catering and two full-service bars mean fewer outside vendors to coordinate than at Deering Estate, and valet plus on-site parking removes a logistics problem waterfront venues often create for guests. Guests can arrive by boat and dock directly at the venue’s marina; if your wedding party or extended family keeps a boat in Miami, this cuts one parking transaction out of the day entirely.
Briza books one event per date, so once you’ve confirmed availability, you won’t share the property, staff, or parking with another wedding or party that same day. The venue doesn’t publish pricing, and its site doesn’t confirm whether a ceremony can happen outside along the water instead of inside the ballroom, so get both answers before comparing cost against Deering Estate‘s bring-your-own-vendor model.
Redland Farm Venues
Trading Miami’s skyline for open farmland changes more than the scenery. The Redland’s venues sit on working agricultural land south of the city, and choosing between them means weighing a rustic barn aesthetic against a working farm setting, plus the extra weather exposure that comes with any outdoor rural property during hurricane season.
9. Redland Farm Life
Redland Farm Life holds up to 200 seated guests across 5 acres, with three named outdoor spots: the Scenic Garden Ceremony Space for vows, Redland Roost for cocktails, and Orchard Grove for the reception.
The Estate Room, an air-conditioned indoor space, serves as the rain backup. All-inclusive packages are available and can bundle tables, chairs, and basic setup into one price instead of separate rental line items; ask which package tier includes what before assuming everything is covered.
As open agricultural land, not a covered downtown venue, an outdoor ceremony here carries weather exposure across more of the calendar, and the lush, open-air grounds that make this property distinctive don’t move indoors if a storm rolls in during hurricane season.
If your package doesn’t include a tent, chiavari chairs, or tables for the uncovered spots, budget for a tent as your first rental priority: gardens and open lawns don’t come with built-in shade or rain cover.
Rentals to Consider for a Miami Wedding
What you’ll need to rent depends on your venue, what’s included in your package, and how you want the space to look and feel. Miami’s gallery spaces, farms, estates, and outdoor venues all offer different starting points, giving you plenty of opportunities to personalize your ceremony and reception.
Seating is one easy way to shape the look of the space. Chiavari chairs are available in wood, gold, silver, and black finishes, while rectangular tables and round tables can help create a reception layout that works for your guest count. Linens, lounge furniture, lighting, and décor can add another layer of personality to the venue.
For outdoor celebrations, tents and canopies can provide additional shade and weather coverage, while pedestal and tent fans can help keep guests comfortable in Miami’s warmer weather. Before booking rentals, check what your venue already provides and which outside rentals are permitted, then choose the pieces that best complement your space and wedding style.
