People Also Ask…
Can you get married on the beach in Miami?
There’s nothing like a wedding ceremony set against an ocean backdrop. While it’s hard to find an empty stretch of sandy beach these days, many luxury Miami Beach hotels come with a private beach for your stunning nuptials. Head to our curated directory to find even more venues for your luxury wedding in Miami Beach.
When is the most popular time of year for a Miami Beach wedding?
Frank Bustamante, Founder & President of Mr. B Hospitality, and Greta McNebb, Founder of Nova Events by Greta McNebb, both agree that the best time of year for a Miami Beach wedding is when the humidity is low. Bustamante recommends February to March, saying, “Little to no humidity equals perfection,” while McNebb loves January and February for the beautiful 65 to 75-degree temperatures.
How do I decide which wedding venue is right for me?
Your wedding planner (in addition to PartySlate) is the best resource for finding the perfect venue. A wedding planner will help you narrow down your priorities and make sure that you don’t overlook any important logistical details.
McNebb of Nova Events by Greta McNebb starts by asking couples to describe their wedding vision. “Is it getting married by the beach side?” she asks. “Or in a lush tropical paradise? Spanish casa built 100 years ago or a clean and modern space with sharp edges?” She goes on to say, “Based on the answer, we go deeper into narrowing it down — and that is when we keep in mind the guest count and the budget, of course.”
Bustamante of Mr. B Hospitality also prioritizes budget. “I encourage each couple to create a budget before diving into the wedding planning process,” he says. “This will assist us in partnering with them to select the best venue for their wedding day.”
Of course, budget is only one factor of many. He continues, “In searching for your perfect venue, it is important to prioritize two items: venue type and guest count. You never want to be the bride or groom that has a venue that is too small to hold your guests (I’ve seen it happen) – it is not fun. Your guests should feel comfortable, service staff should have ample space to move around, and you should be able to dance around the room.”
