Saturday, January 2: Wedding Ceremony and Reception!
This is where it all goes down starting at 4pm at Miami Beach Botanical Garden! We look forward to celebrating with you and our families on our special day.

THE CITY
For our wedding we are returning to the place where it all began. Miami is mostly known as a party city; people often mock it for its perceived lack of authenticity. To us though, Miami is where we first fell in love. It is also where we met some incredible youth who still inspire us to this day and have changed the trajectory of our professional lives. It has an incredible live music scene and a diverse range of foods, arts and people. We chose Miami because it means so much more to us than the glamour of South Beach, and we are excited to share with you the other aspects of the city that make it so engaging and engrossing.

THE VENUE
The ceremony and reception on Saturday will be held at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens. The gardens are a quiet recess from the bustle of Miami Beach. They are enclosed by a variety of palms and feature flowering trees, bromeliads and other edible, native Miami plants. The mission of the Garden is to provide free public access to an attractive botanical garden, create environmental education programs for children and adults, preserve green space, and promote green living. It serves as a venue for visual and performing arts, and acts as a cultural tourist destination.
ADDRESS: 2000 Convention Center Drive | Miami Beach, Florida 33139
