From the moment you enter the historical wooden gates and stroll down the lush covered path, you enter a world of elegance and tranquility. Located along the edge of Biscayne Bay, the 450-plus-acre Deering Estate is an environmental, archaeological, and historic preserve and is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places. When hosting your event at Deering Estate, you will enjoy spectacular settings and views. The Grand Lawn is perfect for outdoor gatherings and wedding ceremonies with endless views of glistening water.

Enjoy dinner and dancing under the stars in the courtyard, bordered by the Estate’s historic homes, majestic old oaks and 100-year-old banyan tree with cascading aerial roots. Throughout the night, guests are welcome to take a stroll along the water’s edge, where they can sit on white benches among towering royal palms as they watch the moon shine across the bay. The Estate offers countless picture-perfect backdrops, from the charm of the historic Carriage House to the winding Mangrove Boardwalk. These natural and historic settings create timeless memories that will be cherished for years to come.
