About

Living Sculpture Sanctuary is a private wedding venue located in Davie, Florida. This unique and breathtaking outdoor location is a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Boasting expansive grounds of sparkling waterfalls, meandering paths, gurgling fountains, koi ponds, and lush tropical vegetation, this venue is a luxurious spot to exchange vows. The estate is the brainchild of Mary Luz Alvarez and Robert J. McKee, two trial attorneys who share a passion for justice and the environment. These lovebirds built the property from the ground up to welcome abundance, tranquility, and wellness into their lives. Since 2016, they have invited couples to celebrate their momentous occasion among the bonsai, desert roses, oaks, and orchids that make up this picturesque sanctuary.

Facilities and Capacity
Living Sculpture Sanctuary features crisscrossing trails that take visitors past luscious greenery, serene gardens, and chic outdoor furniture. Accommodating approximately 100 guests, the Healing Falls Esplanade is the ideal site for ceremonies of commitment. This idyllic setting is surrounded by 100-year-old oaks, three waterfalls, vibrant flowers, and a stone fireplace where coffee stations and dessert can be set up. An arched entrance through a stone wall leads into this atmospheric grotto, under which couples can take pictures. After the ceremony, guests can head along the Orchid Forest Stroll, where they will pass the Rock Zen Garden, Bonsai Display Wall, and Reflection Area. From here, wedding-goers can gather at the Sanctuary Center, a covered patio with a wood roof, travertine tiled floors, and a cozy fireplace. Sheltered by orchid-covered oaks and adjacent to a Japanese bridge over the koi pond, this outdoor pavilion hosts up to 150 guests for reception dinners. Soon-to-be-newlyweds are encouraged to explore the rest of the property and discover other hidden gems for taking unforgettable photographs.

Speechless 💫

Having our wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary on 10.19.24, was an absolute dream come true. This venue is absolutely stunning! Our guests were in awe! Every single staff member, from Mary Luz the owner, Nancy’s warm smile and hugs, to Liam the event manager were just amazing. They were on top of everything and made sure every detail was PERFECT. Mary Luz provided us with a list of vendors to choose from. We chose Palate Cuisine as our caterer and wedding coordinator. Diana from Palate Cuisine was PHENOMENAL. The second I met her, she made me feel so secure in her ability to execute the most unforgettable night of our lives! Diana was attentive to every single detail and made our night flawless. We also chose Trendsfloral for our flowers. Mariel was also so attentive to what I wanted and exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone that made this day perfect in every way. I miss talking to you guys daily, already!!
