History

The Deering Estate was originally a winter home owned by Charles Deering, 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.

They were communicative and thoughtful in every step of the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this process for my wedding.

The venue was awesome, it was raining during most of the wedding and last minute had to add on a tent. For the space, I didn't think a tent would look good, and reluctantly ordered the tent just a few hours before the event. It looked amazing, and even with the rain, it didn't really matter. Everyone had a great time, and the tent made it even better and more intimate. Would definitely go back at some point

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!
