Deering Estate
The Deering Estate is a historic home right on Biscayne Bay in Miami, but it’s the gardens and waterfront that make this venue one of The Bride Candy’s top picks for most romantic wedding venues in Miami.

The historic Deering Estate, sister to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, was the home of Charles Deering. The stone house was built in the 1920’s and the beautiful architecture mimics the era in which it was built. As you walk toward the house you are surrounded by lush tropical hammocks. The grounds have a breathtaking view of Biscayne Bay where most Wedding ceremonies take place. The Harbor is is lined with palm trees and as you gaze upon the bay it almost looks like you are sitting on the water itself.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
If you’re looking for opulence, you’ll find it at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. This sprawling estate features finely manicured European gardens that are perfect for a romantic ceremony, making it the most romantic venue to have a Miami wedding.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is one of the most breathtaking venues I have ever seen. It was owned by the late James Deering, brother to Charles Deering of Deering Estate (above). The estate is surrounded by subtropical forests and the structures built around the property make it look like it came straight out of a fairytale. The main house is so grandiose, every crevice of the building is filled with fine detail. When you look up you can see art painted on the tall ceilings of the property. The back terrace opens up to the water of Biscayne bay where most wedding receptions take place. Wedding ceremonies usually take place on top of a garden mound where a gorgeous structure stands. It is the perfect place to host an extravagant wedding celebration.
Villa Woodbine
Nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove, Villa Woodbine is a historic home and is one of The Bride Candy’s favorite Miami wedding venues for its beautiful courtyard and grand backyard.
This photo shows the arched wooden front door of Villa Woodbine with Juliet wrought-iron balcony above. The path to the front door is surrounded by lush palms.
Villa Woodbine is both grand and intimate. When you enter the Villa, you are greeted by a beautiful fountain in the middle of the courtyard. You can hear the fountain trickling as you explore the property. The villa has so many attributes, such as a staircase perfect for grand entrances, two fireplaces, and a giant oak tree where most ceremonies take place. This venue is filled with photo-worthy spots. It’s no wonder its been featured by bridal blogs and magazines. It is truly a gorgeous gem.
The Biltmore Hotel
The Biltmore Hotel is one of the most famous landmarks of Coral Gables, and for good reason - it’s architecture and ambience screams old-world luxury. Most weddings take place in its grand ballrooms, and its size makes it a good choice for larger weddings.

The Biltmore Hotel was built by George Merrick who called it “The castle in the sky”. It lives up to its name as it stands in the center of the historic city of Coral Gables. When you enter the main foyer, there are grand painted vaulted ceilings. The Biltmore Hotel has 4 ballrooms on the property, all of which are filled with crystal chandeliers, tall ceilings and big windows. Its over the top aesthetic makes it the perfect place for a royal wedding.
The Ancient Spanish Monastery
If you’re look to have a wedding that feels like a big step back in time, then The Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami is the wedding venue for you. It’s gothic-arched cloisters evoke a castle-like feeling.
This picture shows the hallways of the stone cloisters with a tiled floor, arched ceilings and stone columns.
The Ancient Spanish Monastery feels like you are in a different part of the world. It should feel that way because it’s not from Miami. Originally built in Spain in 1141 AD, its original name was The Monastery of our Lady queen of Angels. In the 1950’s it was rebuilt in Miami Florida. The Cloisters of the Ancient Spanish Monastery are the perfect backdrop for a royal themed wedding. This venue is not just filled with history but it truly gives your guests an experience like no other.
Curtiss Mansion
The Curtiss Mansion make the list of one of The Bride Candy’s most romantic Miami wedding venues because of its gorgeous front lawn, it’s Pueblo-style architecture, and it’s grand courtyard.
This picture shows the stone arch in the backyard of the Curtiss Mansion with Banyan tree roots slowly engulfing it. You can see the reading garden beyond the stone arch at the center of the photo.
