About weddings in Cutler Bay
Cutler Bay fronts Biscayne Bay with mangroves rather than sand, and its defining feature is water of a different kind: vast, deep, man-made freshwater lakes, mostly former quarries, sitting right next to the saltwater bay. Weddings here happen on those lakes. Lakeside tented receptions, park pavilions at Lakes by the Bay, civic hall events. It's suburban southern Miami-Dade, tract homes and planned communities. No ocean surf, no high-rise ballrooms. A venue costs about $10,920, food is $118 a head, and an open bar adds $52. Figure $44,700 for 120 guests. The look is calm, flat, rectangular water rather than rolling waves. That suits some weddings and not others, and it's worth knowing before you drive down.
