Wedding Venue

Living Sculpture Sanctuary

Davie, FL

Photographed here byThe Wedding Traveler Studios

A truly one-of-a-kind venue in South Florida, Living Sculpture Sanctuary is an outdoor art garden and nature preserve in Davie where towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss frame sculptural installations and winding garden paths. The intimate sanctuary atmosphere creates a magical, fairytale setting that feels unlike any traditional venue. Its lush canopy, sculptural focal points, and organic layout allow every ceremony to feel deeply personal and beautifully unique.

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 FT LAUDERDALE, 7 miles away.
