Wedding Venues in Homestead

Such a magical and special place for a wedding! So glad we chose it, and the pictures are a testament to how gorgeous everything was, the flowers, the trees, ponds, structures… it’s all beautiful and made for the perfect event!

AMAZING! We had the most wonderful day. So many people told us what a beautiful venue it was and how incredible the wedding was. Truly was so special. Everything looked awesome and the staff was beyond helpful. Every step of the process was smooth and the day itself eclipsed what we could’ve even hoped for. So grateful to Secret Gardens Miami for truly helping us have the wedding of our dreams. Could not suggest more highly than I do! If you have a chance to use this venue, you should!

From the moment we first saw the venue, we fell in love with its rural yet well-manicured charm. As a former Marine, Frank, the owner, runs a well-oiled machine and leaves no room for unprofessionalism or half measures. His staff are not only stellar at what they do but also passionate and are there to ensure that you have the time of your life. The wedding coordinators, Jess and Frida were always on top of things and ever so sweet and kind. The DJ, Eddie, is truly dedicated to his craft and knew exactly what to play to keep the masses dancing; I really appreciate that he is an Iron Maiden fan too. Alas, my wife said "no metal" at the reception :). The rest of the staff—whose names, unfortunately, I don't recall—were hard workers and friendly whenever we needed any help. The facilites are structurally sound and tastefully decorated. The property grounds are professionally manicured, and not a single blade of grass is out of place. We enjoyed every single minute of our wedding, and the only downside is that we could not make it last for three days straight. Time really does fly when you are having fun.

First and foremost, I would like to give a very special thanks to Villa Paraiso and their event personnel. Everyone was so attentive, kind, and responsive. An even more special thanks to Kiana, our wedding coordinator. Kiana was beyond fantastic and totally exceeded our expectations. She made it all a smooth process from start to finish. The venue was decorated exactly as we imagined it to be. Villa paraiso made our dream wedding a reality.

Our wedding was a dream come true. The Ever After Farms - Tropical Grove team exceeded all of our venue/coordination expectations. From our first tour, we fell in love with the beauty of the venue. Its romantic twinkling lights & chandelier drew us in, but the communication, flexibility & professionalism of the EAF team solidified our decision to book. Mya, Kim & Andrea moved heaven & earth to make sure our night flowed seamlessly. As the Bride, I felt incredibly supported & looked after. I didn't have to worry, because Mya & her team had everything undercontrol! We cannot express how grateful we are to the team for helping us accomplish such a memorable & fun night!

Such a beautiful hidden gem! Great experience, amazing variety of wine made out of fruits! First experience ever for us! Jean at the bar is a great host and also a great photographer! We will definitely be back! Cheers 🥂

We got married at the Cooper Estate and we absolutely loved it!!! Not only is The Cooper Estate the most gorgeous place to have a wedding, they also were wonderful to work with! The venue is even more stunning in person and our guests were raving about how incredibly beautiful the place is, especially the ceremony area. In terms of flow, this venue is great for guest experience because they never get stagnant in one place for too long - they flow from the ceremony area into the open area for cocktail hour, and then into the barn for the reception. Idalia was our venue coordinator and she was absolutely incredible to work with. She made the whole experience SEAMLESS! We probably emailed her 100+ questions over the course of the year and she patiently answered every single one quickly and thoroughly. She became such a trusted resource for us for all things wedding planning and we couldn’t have asked for a better contact!! On the day of the wedding, she put so much care into making sure everything ran smoothly. She thought of everything that we missed in terms of flow (i.e. where should I put my bouquet after the grand entrance and before the first dance? How should we position ourselves for the cake cutting? etc.). This wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her expertise and care. Overall we absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you so much to the whole team at TCE for making our special day so beautiful and memorable!!! We wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else. We also wanted to include some tid-bits that would have been useful for us as we were planning a wedding here. We found these out along the way, so we wanted to share just in case they can help other couples in the future! -After we booked with them, the venue provided a tasting with the caterer so we could select our entrees, hors d'oeuvres, and linens -The venue included valet staff, a bartender, a day-of coordinator (ours was Idalia), a DJ (we had DJ Rey), a cake (we got ours from Edda’s), and in-house catering with servers. -We didn’t realize at first that a cake was included in the venue cost. We ended up ordering from Edda’s South Miami after visiting them for a free tasting. The cake tasted amazing and looked perfect!! They coordinate with The Cooper Estate for delivery so that was one of the easiest things to plan! -Don’t be shy to ask about add-ons, for example the gold circle arch we rented from the venue wasn’t advertised on their website or handouts, but we asked about it and they were able to set it up for us. -In terms of logistics, they will schedule a time to drop off your items a couple days before the event and they take care of set up. -Your signature drinks will be passed during cocktail hour and they typically don’t continue to serve them for the rest of the night unless there are leftovers from the batch. -The DJ will reach out about a month before the event, we were a little worried because we didn’t have a chance to shop around with the DJ like we would for other vendors, but honestly the DJ was amazing (DJ Rey from SCJ events), so don’t stress about this! Those are just some things we wished we knew when we were starting out, and I thought that sharing this info might help make the planning process a little bit easier for other couples. Overall, I can’t stress enough, the Cooper Estate was AMAZING and we’re soooo happy we chose to get married there!!!! [Photo credit: Wild Eyed Photography]

Our wedding at Sofia’s Garden was beautiful. The place was outstandingly beautiful! God drew the most amazing color in the garden and it looked like a dream! Amazing venue!!! Mr and Mrs Gonzalez

Whimsical Key West house is breathtaking. It's a true tropical oasis with so much space making it the perfect venue for hosting an event even during a pandemic. We chose the Key West house prior to COVID and the venue was flexible and helpful when we decided to change our date as a result. What makes this venue so unique is the number of different areas (pool with the lovely limestone-looking deck, HUGE back lawn with string bistro lights that provide ample lighting, banyan tree, a secret little grotto, fire pit, and a cool side-yard with a huge anchor and sand) on the property so our guests were able to experience the full beauty of it. Even better, while we weren't able to use the indoors of the home, we could use the two getting ready spaces that were perfect for our groups. The family who owns the home and the staff that supports the venue were extremely helpful throughout the day. They were welcoming and supported us in getting the fire pit area ready for our DJ (e.g., getting the power set-up), answering any questions we had, assisted our planner in getting the vendors situated, and circled the property in advanced to ensure everything looked its best. Beyond this, they allowed us to use their dryer when one of our ring bearers had a pool accident in full wedding attire! All in all the Whimsical Key West House was exactly what we wanted for our big day!
