Sunset math
Plan around the light.
Miami's sunset moves from about 5:30 PM in December to 8:15 PM in June. Start your ceremony roughly 90 minutes to two hours before it and you get a cooler aisle, golden portraits, and guests who stay comfortable. Choose a month.
Ceremony start5:45 PM
Golden portraits6:30 PM
Mid-month sunset7:30 PM
Peak dry season. Warm days, dry evenings, and spring break crowds on the Beach.

Straight answers
Questions every couple asks us first.
No hedging, and no "it depends" without the actual answer. If yours isn't here, ask. A real person replies within 24 hours.
Ask us anythingFor 100 to 120 guests, most couples land between $45,000 and $90,000 all-in. The three biggest levers are venue choice, guest count, and bar package. Our budget guide breaks down realistic 2026 ranges line by line.
November through April is the dry season: lower humidity, near-zero rain risk, and gorgeous evening light. December through March is peak demand and peak pricing. A summer date can save real money if your venue has a strong indoor or covered backup.
For a Saturday between November and April, plan on 12 to 18 months. The most-requested venues book peak Saturdays well over a year out. Off-season and weekday dates can come together in 6 months or less, sometimes with meaningful discounts.
Yes, but public beaches require a permit from the city or county, and the rules limit structures, chairs, and amplified sound. Most couples get the beach backdrop with fewer headaches by booking an oceanfront hotel or a private venue with its own beach access. We'll tell you which path fits your plans.
Yes. Couples never pay us anything, and we don't mark up your contracts. We only recommend vendors we already know and trust, and those relationships are how the lights stay on. No pay-to-play directory, ever.
Hurricane season runs June through November, with the most activity August through October. If you book in that window: get the venue's weather policy in writing, price event insurance, and make sure your vendor contracts address postponement. Most summer weddings go off beautifully, you just plan for the exception.
Work backward from sunset. Starting 90 minutes to 2 hours before it gives you a cooler ceremony, golden-hour portraits, and comfortable guests. In winter that means roughly a 4:00 to 4:30 PM start; in summer closer to 6:00 PM. Try the sunset math above for your month.
Yes, and it's part of the free help. We'll point you to the right hotels for your venue and guest budget (and warn you about event-weekend pricing), and for summer dates we'll walk you through what event insurance should cover before you sign anything. Mention it in the form below.
