Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is one of Florida's most celebrated wedding venues, a National Historic Landmark perched on the shores of Biscayne Bay. The Italian Renaissance-style villa, built in 1916, is surrounded by ten acres of formal European gardens, fountains, and stone terraces. Ceremonies take place amid centuries-old banyans and cascading bougainvillea while the bay shimmers in the background. The estate's dramatic architecture and lush grounds make every photograph feel like a painting. Capacity is limited to preserve the intimacy of each event, making Vizcaya a truly exclusive experience.
