About weddings in North Miami Beach
North Miami Beach has the single most extraordinary wedding venue in Florida, and most people have never heard of it. The Ancient Spanish Monastery was built in Segovia in the 12th century, taken apart stone by stone, shipped to America, and reassembled here. It is the oldest European building in the Western Hemisphere, and you can be married in its medieval cloister. Nothing else on this continent offers that. Greynolds Park does oak-canopy ceremonies and Mallardi's at the Senator does banquets. Despite the name, the city is on the mainland: no barrier island, no Atlantic sand. It fronts inland lakes and the Oleta River. A venue costs about $10,490, food is $114 a head, and an open bar adds $50. A 120-guest wedding runs about $43,100. For a 900-year-old stone cloister, that is an absurd price.
