5 Reasons to Have Your Destination Wedding at Eden Roc Miami Beach

Many brides-to-be ask what the secret to creating the perfect wedding is and the answer is simple…location, location, location. When you fall in love with a venue there is no limit to the transformations that can happen if you only use your imagination and personal style. Of course, we’ve been fortunate enough to see many of these fabulous weddings through the submissions we receive from our beloved photogs + couples, but with that we have learned that our favorites are those taken to beautiful destinations that meet more than what the eye can handle. Destination weddings can be risky business if not done right, but we have one location that we’ve been saving for a special occasion and since the end of summer is right around the corner, why not cherish the last few moments of warm weather that we have left and travel to Eden Roc Miami Beach for the destination wedding of your dreams. If you’re not familiar with this gem, let us give you five major reasons why you should definitely consider your upcoming nuptials at this enchanting beachfront resort.

1. Gorgeous Ocean View Backdrops to Tie the Knot (Indoors and Outdoors)

If there is one thing we absolutely adore about destination weddings, it’s the marvelous picturesque backdrops that you can’t get anywhere else. Eden Roc offers not just one, but several special locations that will make your ‘I dos’ spectacular. The best part? Well, the beauty isn't just limited to the outdoors, you can enjoy the views from two legendary classic ballrooms with floor to ceiling windows like the Pompeii & Mona Lisa. But, if outdoor soirées are up your alley then you have your choice of 25,000 sq. ft of pure ocean and bay views plus creative spaces for those special picture perfect moments including suites, lofts and terraces.

2. Amazing Service

The tricky part about destination weddings is not always being there to experience the venue's services first hand, but at Eden Roc it's a guarantee that you will always receive phenomenal services. Their staff will make sure you are 100% stress free. Whether you're deciding on a photographer, a florist or a dry cleaner to steam your wedding garments, Eden Roc will make sure you have the quality service and help you need for a smooth walk down the aisle. Quality service doesn't end with the details of the wedding- you will be amazed by the culinary delicacies provided by Eden Roc’s culinary team. From the rehearsal dinner, reception hour, down to the main event, you will find succulent dishes all at your disposal through a fab wedding reception menu; but don’t let the culinary art stop there… venture into the art of dream cakes whipped up by Eden Roc’s pastry geniuses.

3. Incredible Guest Rooms and Amenities

And if that wasn’t enough, the hotel offered something special for our family & friends too! Your loved ones will rave about their beautiful guestrooms with views of the ocean and Biscayne Bay Waterway while they enjoy the great amenities like luscious dishes, drinks, and a dip in the resort’s infinity pool.

4. The Elle Spa

Let's face it, we've all searched for health + beauty tips and when we do so we often look to ELLE Magazine, the health, beauty, fashion guru for a little advice on improving ourselves. So naturally ELLE translated its words of wisdom into practice and the result... The ELLE Spa - Eden Roc Miami Beach! Perfect for a little self spoiling to unwind from the magnificent wedding festivities or for a spa day out with the girls before the big day. Imagine a signature massage and body treatment overlooking ocean views. Or enjoy a bridal shower spa day with the girls complete with a custom scrub bar, hot whirlpools, hydro-experience showers, and boutique hair and nail salon just add to the unforgettable experience.  Be sure to check out ELLE Spa salon for bridal party specials!

5. Miami Beach

Although, Eden Roc has everything you need to have the wedding of your dreams under one roof, we must admit there is one more reason to tie the knot at this incredible place…. Miami Beach.

Miami Beach by no means needs an introduction... It is after all the world's playground.

It caters to a diverse crowd ready to hit the town for a little nightlife fun while the day scene features breathtaking beaches with white sand calling your name for a romantic stroll, an energetic jog, or a dip in clear turquoise waters.

For all this reasons and more, Eden Roc is not only the perfect destination for a stunning wedding, it is a picture perfect scenery to have an unforgettable honeymoon. But even when you don't have a special occasion you can always escape for a couples weekend or a quick getaway with the girls. A beautiful gem like this doesn't need a reason!
