About Us — Where Design Met Destiny

Vignette Gardens began as a design-center concept in 2015, opened for weddings in 2016, and has since grown into Miami’s Most Valued Wedding Venue — a timeless garden setting in Horse Country where unforgettable memories begin.

The Story of Vignette Gardens

Vignette Gardens began in 2015, when we first took on a property that was originally meant to become a design center — a space filled with creativity, art, and inspiration. But destiny had other plans.

One day, a couple walked through our gates, drawn by the property’s beauty and charm. They looked around and said, “I would love to get married here.” That single moment changed everything. What started as a design concept quickly evolved into what would become one of Miami’s most captivating outdoor wedding venues.

After several months of transformation, Vignette Gardens officially opened its doors in 2016 and hosted its very first wedding — the beginning of a story that has since touched hundreds of couples and families.

Over the past decade, we’ve grown, adapted, and thrived through every season — from the challenges of COVID-19 to countless celebrations of love under the stars. Through it all, our mission has remained the same: to create a timeless space where unforgettable memories are made.

Today, nestled in the heart of Miami’s Horse Country, Vignette Gardens proudly stands as Miami’s Most Valued Wedding Venue — known for its beauty, versatility, and dedication to every couple’s vision. Every year, we continue to invest in new upgrades, creative enhancements, and meaningful experiences that make each event even more memorable than the last.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic garden ceremony, an elegant outdoor reception, or an intimate celebration surrounded by nature, Vignette Gardens is where your story begins.
