    Accommodating, Flexible, and Stunning.

    I would highly recommend Pinecrest Gardens to anyone planning a wedding. The park has a wide variety of venues available to meet the size of your party. A wonderful staff committed to working your needs into their space. And most importantly, a gorgeous backdrop for ceremonies of all sizes.

    Amazing Location

    I was looking for an intimate location for my wedding ceremony. The Hidden Garden was the perfect location. I had the pleasure of working with Dany Valenzuela who assisted me every step of the way which made the process so much easier. Her level of professionalism was an extra added bonus. I would definitely refer anyone who's looking to have an intimate wedding ceremony to be held at Pinecrest Gardens- Hidden Garden.

    Responsive staff, Budget friendly venue, Tropical garden dream setting

    Pinecrest Gardens was perfect for our small ceremony in the Hammock Pavilion. We added NO additional florals because the backdrop was perfect for our vintage tropical theme. Gorgeous gardens and our guests were so taken by the beauty of the place.

    Beautiful and affordable venues

    We recently had our small wedding at the Historic Entrance of Pinecrest Gardens, and it was nothing short of magical. The venue is absolutely stunning—lush, tropical greenery surrounds the area, and the historic stone architecture gives it a timeless, romantic feel that felt perfect for an intimate celebration.
    The staff at Pinecrest Gardens were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. Everything was well-organized, and they worked seamlessly with our vendors to make sure the day went smoothly.

    A place to Celebrate

    I celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday at Pinecrest Gardens, and it was an absolutely enchanting experience! I can't recommend this place enough—it's like stepping into a magical wonderland.

    I recommend this place

    Everything was great!
    The only complaint I have is that there wasn't anyone to direct me and my guests to the designated area, but other than that it was good.
    We had our wedding in early november, and being in FL, its still hot.
    But the shade and breeze made it more bearable. And this place has plenty of shade. 10/10 would recommend this ppace for your wedding. ( we had the hammock pavilion).

    A Magical Nighttime Wedding

    We had an outdoor mid-Jaunary wedding that was one of the few nighttime rentals allowed each year, so we had the gardens to ourselves. It was magical. Though it rained for a couple of hours, it hardly mattered because Pinecrest Gardens is such a beautiful place and there is enough cover at the Hammock Pavilion (ceremony) and Lakeview Terrace/Patio (cocktail hour/reception) that everything went off as planned. The lush surroundings were perfect for photos beforehand, and as night fell it had a different, but still wonderful feel. Elis and her team made pre-planning from a distance pretty easy, and staff at the venue on the day were both helpful and unobtrusive. Once the farmer's market was done in the...

    Just stunning!

    We had a destination wedding, and selected this location, sight-unseen. It turned out to be a fantastic find. The pricepoint was spectacular, and it was everything we could have wanted. Stunning gardens and florals. There were even swans gliding across the water next to our event. Like something out of a fairytale. Rain was definitely a concern, and the day prior to our event, the team at Pinecrest worked diligently with us to come up with a backup plan (to use one of their indoor conference rooms). We would have been bummed if we had to resort to that, but thankfully the weather was pristine. I was so grateful to know that they were willing to help us, and...

    The perfect wedding

    I fell in love with Pinecrest the first time I ever stepped foot onto the property. When I suggested to my husband that he check it out as a potential wedding venue option, within minutes he said “yes, yes this is it”. Our small, intimate wedding of 53 guests utilizing the hammock pavilion, pergola & lake view terrace and cypress hall were perfect !! Elis & Maria we’re fantastic and easy to work with. Everything turned out perfect !!!

    Romantic Garden Wedding w/ a twist

    We held our wedding ceremony in their Hammock Pavilion. What a magical location. You forget that you are in Miami, Florida. The entire garden is spectacular and they offer multiple ceremony locations. PLUS! so many spectacular areas to take wedding pictures at.

    Our ceremony was a mix of my Cuban heritage and my husbands Scottish one, I can't tell you how perfect this venue was for our wedding.

    The staff is great, they are so helpful and assign your wedding planning team a go-to day of person to assist getting everything together.

    If you want an outside ceremony that is private, not in a park, with beautiful and romantic gardens, Pinecrest is your venue.

    I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you for our beautiful wedding!!

    Dear Vanesa,

    Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to us! We are so glad to hear that your wedding was successful and that we helped in making this a perfect day for you and your husband. Thank you again for everything and we hope to see you both at the gardens one day.

    The place is gorgeous! We had a private and small (20 ppl) wedding/reception at their historical place. The place was the perfect size, tables and chairs were provided, and we were able to take beautiful pictures throughout the gardens!

    Dear Monica, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience at Pinecrest Gardens. Thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for the type of wedding that we wanted.

    However, they double booked our wedding date. Luckily, it was almost a year in advance and my other wedding vendors were available to switch the date. In return, they reimbursed me for the full price of the venue, so it was free in the end!

    The staff isn't exceptionally knowledgeable or professional, which you would expect from a venue that is used to hosting weddings and important events. However, everything was seamless the day of the event.

    Lastly, be aware that they don't allow alcohol on site or music other than that of acoustic musicians. This makes it perfect for a ceremony/photos but not for a reception.

    Ok, first of all the place is amazingly beautiful, everyone at the wedding loved it and it was perfect for what we needed for our casual wedding, but its not good for a traditional wedding. It's only good for daytime weddings (they close at five), you really can't have dancing (they don't allow loud music), the rental is only for 4 hours (you have to pay for extra time), they don't provide anything except the space rental, which isnt that big, so if you rent more than one space it gets pricey. The staff isn't very organized, every time i called they would tell something different (example one person told me i could have a tent the other one...

    Beautiful place, but it worth it.

    Do not waste your time and money here. These people are not organized AT ALL, not accommodating at all and charge a ridiculous amount for such a small space. My best friend tried to rent cypress hall, which is their newest room and largest. It’s absolutely beautiful, but comes with too many restrictions. They have a bunch of furniture in the room (tables, chairs, large sofas, etc.) and on top of the crazy amount they charge for the small space, they want an extra $500 to have the furniture moved around or removed. You’re not allowed to use any of the equipment in the kitchen either except for the sink and the table because it belongs to a coffee...
