About weddings in North Bay Village
North Bay Village is three man-made islands dredged out of Biscayne Bay in the 1940s, sitting between Miami and Miami Beach. There's no natural soil here and no old-growth anything, just concrete bulkheads, boat docks and 360 degrees of open bay water. Which, for a wedding, is not a bad trade. The Best Western on the Bay has limited event space, and private charters leave from Pelican Harbor Marina. Waterfront restaurant patios, bayview terraces and yacht weddings are what happens here. No Atlantic sand, no country clubs. A venue costs about $10,920, food is $118 a head, and an open bar adds $52. Figure $44,700 for 120 guests. You're five minutes from both Miami and Miami Beach, on open water, for meaningfully less money than either.
