1 Hotel South Beach is a 426-room oceanfront resort built around a philosophy of environmental sustainability and biophilic design, with living plant walls, reclaimed wood paneling, natural stone, and organic linen softening every interior surface. The hotel's direct beachfront, rooftop pools, and landscaped garden terraces provide multiple ceremony and cocktail hour settings along a prime stretch of Miami Beach. The Grand Ballroom, with its floor-to-ceiling bamboo accents and ocean views, accommodates up to 400 guests, while the poolside cabana deck and rooftop Watr restaurant add intimate alternatives. An in-house sustainability program ensures locally sourced menus, minimal-waste catering, and eco-conscious event practices throughout.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from MIAMI BEACH, 1 miles away.
