Mayfair House Hotel & Garden is Coconut Grove's most captivating boutique hotel — a distinctive 1980s architectural gem wrapped in cascading tropical plants, with an open-air atrium, intricate Japanese garden, and rooftop terrace overlooking the tree canopy of Coconut Grove toward Biscayne Bay. Reimagined as a modern boutique property, the Mayfair combines an intimate garden atmosphere, genuine design character, and a creatively beautiful backdrop for couples who want a wedding with personality and tropical beauty in equal measure — something entirely different from the high-rise hotels of South Beach.

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, 2.8 miles away.
