Best Place To Get Married

Deering Estate at Cutler
16701 S.W. 72nd Ave., Palmetto Bay, 305/235-1668, Deeringestate.com

If you have the $20,000 or so to blow on location alone, then by all means get hitched at Vizcaya. But for about one-fifth that price, you can tie the knot at the Deering Estate, a gorgeous old mansion located on Biscayne Bay. It may not have the over-the-top opulence of Vizcaya, but it more than makes up for that with natural beauty. The only drawbacks are the 125-person maximum capacity and the fact that the place closes at 10 p.m. But with all nightlife-oriented Miami waiting for you, the afterparty options are endless.
