Just beyond the vibrant pulse of Miami, nestled in the tranquil town of Davie, Florida, lies a rare gem for couples seeking an outdoor wedding infused with nature and spirituality. Living Sculpture Sanctuary stands out as one of South Florida’s most distinctive wedding venues, enveloping guests in a lush botanical haven featuring waterfalls, koi ponds, and an atmosphere charged with serene, sacred energy. More than a mere event space, it serves as a living testament to love, nature, and intentional artistry.
The sanctuary’s story began in 2013 with founders Mary Luz Rodriguez Alvarez and Robert J. McKee, who built the space as a sacred foundation for their own marriage. Their shared passion for environmental law and artistry is woven throughout the property, which today offers couples an immersive sanctuary to celebrate meaningful moments surrounded by natural beauty and spiritual symbolism.
A Peaceful Escape Close to Miami
Though only a short drive from Miami’s urban center, Living Sculpture Sanctuary transports guests into a world apart. Towering, century-old oak trees create a verdant canopy while koi fish glide gracefully through serene ponds and the gentle murmur of waterfalls fills the air. The entire property is thoughtfully designed to honor the five sacred elements — Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirit — providing an ideal setting for couples desiring a nature-inspired or spiritually rich wedding ceremony.
Symbolic Spaces for Every Celebration
The venue offers a variety of distinctive areas tailored to different parts of the wedding day and other celebrations. Couples might take a quiet stroll along the winding Orchid Forest Trail, exchange vows beneath the Healing Falls Esplanade, or capture intimate portraits by the Bonsai Wall and Zen Garden. The Zen Suite provides a private space for meditation or quiet reflection, perfect for couples embracing a holistic wedding experience.
Versatility is key at Living Sculpture Sanctuary, which accommodates everything from grand weddings to intimate elopements, as well as milestone events like quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, and corporate retreats — all designed to foster connection and presence.
Weddings Infused with Wellness
Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the sanctuary enhances celebrations through wellness-focused offerings. Couples booking the venue gain access to bespoke services such as spa treatments, massages, sound baths, and guided meditation sessions, enriching the wedding experience with mindful relaxation.
A dedicated full-service team manages every detail, allowing couples to focus fully on their special day without distraction.
Convenient Yet Secluded Setting
While overnight accommodations are not available on-site, the sanctuary’s proximity to Miami and Fort Lauderdale ensures convenient lodging options for guests. Designed as a place for genuine experiences rather than just events, Living Sculpture Sanctuary invites couples and their loved ones to gather, connect deeply, and create lasting memories far beyond the final dance.
