History

The Deering Estate was originally a winter home, owned by Charles Deering who was the first chairman of the International Harvest Company. Deering was an avid environmentalist and art collector who took pride in his philanthropic efforts. This 1920s-era property was once a hotel but it's now preserved as part of the National Register of Historic Places.

Caterer Friendly Venue

I own and operate a catering company called Miami Grill Catering. As a seasoned caterer, I've had the privilege of working at numerous venues. Deering Estate in Miami truly stands out. This historic gem not only offers a breathtaking backdrop for weddings but also makes every caterer's job a breeze.

The event team is great to collaborate with, ensuring seamless communication and execution. The picturesque gardens and bay views provide an unparalleled setting for unforgettable events.

Deering Estate elevates the catering experience, and I'm always thrilled to be part of events here. Highly recommended!
