Wedding Venue

Coral Gables Country Club

Coral Gables, FL

Coral Gables Country Club is one of Miami's most historically significant and photogenic event venues — a 1924 Mediterranean Revival clubhouse designed by Phineas Paist in the heart of Coral Gables' canopied boulevards. Its grand ceremonial staircase, sweeping veranda, and manicured grounds create an atmosphere of timeless elegance and deep Miami history.

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 WSO CITY, 1.5 miles away.
