After designing weddings across the region’s most storied properties, we’ve come to know each of these venues almost as well as we know our own portfolio. Here are six of our favorite luxury wedding venues in South Florida, and what makes each one worth the investment.

01
The Breakers, Palm Beach

The Breakers has stood as one of the most iconic resorts on Florida’s Gold Coast since 1896 — 140 oceanfront acres, Italian Renaissance architecture, and ballrooms like the Venetian and the Circle, with frescoed ceilings and Venetian crystal chandeliers. It’s the venue for couples who want a truly grand affair, with the Ocean Lawn offering an oceanfront ceremony setting unmatched almost anywhere else in Palm Beach.

02
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Miami

Vizcaya is unlike anything else in South Florida — a 1916 waterfront estate in Coconut Grove built to evoke a Tuscan villa, with formal European gardens, hand-carved stone architecture, and sweeping Biscayne Bay views. As a National Historic Landmark, it comes with unique preservation guidelines, but for couples drawn to old-world romance and a setting that feels transported from Europe, nothing else compares.

03
The Boca Raton

Spanning 200 waterfront acres across five district hotels, The Boca Raton offers a range few properties can match — a private golden beach, the historic gilded Cloister, and the sleek, contemporary Grand Ballroom, all on one property. It’s a strong choice for couples who want a full wedding weekend experience with multiple distinct settings under a single resort.

04
Faena Hotel, Miami Beach

Faena brings an entirely different energy to the South Florida venue landscape — a restored 1948 Saxony hotel paired with the Rem Koolhaas-designed Faena Forum, a striking modern glass structure with a domed ceiling. The property’s Art Deco maximalism, designed in part by film director Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, makes it the destination for couples wanting a bold, design-forward, art-world aesthetic rather than a traditional resort feel.

05
The Setai, Miami Beach

The Setai brings an Asian-inspired serenity to Miami Beach that stands apart from the city’s more maximalist properties. Clean lines, a calm, considered atmosphere, and oceanfront event spaces make it a natural fit for couples who want a more minimalist, editorial wedding aesthetic without sacrificing Miami Beach’s signature waterfront setting.

06
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Beach Resort

On Florida’s Gulf Coast, the Ritz-Carlton Naples Beach Resort sits at the top of the region’s luxury market, especially following its full 2023 renovation, which brought updated ballrooms and over 78,000 square feet of event space across 28 rooms. Naples offers a quieter, more understated version of Florida luxury compared to Miami or Palm Beach, with beachfront ceremonies available year-round.

Choosing the Right Venue for Your Vision

These six venues each represent a distinct corner of South Florida’s luxury wedding landscape — historic Palm Beach grandeur, old-world Miami romance, sprawling resort variety, bold Art Deco design, minimalist waterfront calm, and understated Gulf Coast elegance. Rather than choosing a venue for its reputation alone, we always encourage couples to think about which of these design languages actually reflects the wedding they’re envisioning — the strongest results come from a genuine match between venue and vision.
