Fewer milestones bring more joy than weddings. These special occasions represent the lifelong unity of two individuals and a bond between two families. However, planning for such an event can take a lot of work. So to get you started, we bring you some of the top wedding venues in Miami. And of course, don’t forget the transportation which also adds to the festive vibe of such a happy event.
Best Beach Fronts
Known for its scenic shores, Miami has many sites that appeal to couples who want a destination, beachfront wedding. Luckily, parking shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve rented a shuttle for your guests and a limo for you and the wedding party.
1. JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort and Spa
This popular resort offers a lovely spot for a beachfront ceremony with the Hollywood Boardwalk as part of the backdrop. If you want to take the rest of the celebration indoors, the JW Marriott offers spacious reception halls of various sizes along with delicious cuisine and cocktails.

Located by Biscayne Bay, you can exchange vows with the blue sky and ocean in the background. In fact, any one of the scenic terrace spaces offers a breathtaking view of the Miami skyline and the bay. Moreover, if you like the vibe of an outdoor reception while enjoying indoor comfort, consider hosting your guests inside the Sunset Ballroom.
