The Miami River Inn is a collection of restored 1906–1910 Craftsman cottages in the Little Havana neighborhood, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Miami's oldest surviving inn. The property's four cottage buildings, tropical garden courtyards, and pool patio create an intimate and genuinely historic wedding setting within walking distance of the Miami River. Intimate ceremonies and elopements for up to 50 guests unfold in the garden courtyards beneath bougainvillea-draped pergolas and century-old trees. The inn's small scale and dedicated ownership make it particularly appealing for couples seeking a personal, historic, and non-commercial setting for their ceremony.
