Welcome to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden

The wedding venue that made my friends jealous
One last bit of advice, if you're having a late night wedding, add the 40/100 clear tent in the great lawn to bring it all together. Guests were able to still enjoy the Gardens while eating dinner with no threats of rain to worry about.
Love,

A magical setting and great team
1) Beautiful setting: The garden itself is so lovely that we built a lot of our design ideas around just complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings. Being quite small, it feels very intimate.
2) Great location: Because it is located right near the main strip of South Beach, it was very convenient for guests to book nearby hotels – many of them could and did walk to the venue – while still being able to do other fun things and make a weekend of it. This is a major advantage over other lovely venues like the Fairchild botanical gardens.
3) Extraordinary team: Maurice Jackson leads the events team at MBBG, and he goes above and beyond to make your wedding the event of your dreams. He was extremely communicative and would always work enthusiastically with us on how best to realize our desires. I cannot recommend the entire team highly enough as partners in making your wedding amazing.
