Living Sculpture Sanctuary LLC

this place is so beautiful and captivating. I’m so happy this place exists. The night was beautiful. It was like paradise

Living Sculpture Sanctuary is the most beautiful outdoor, botanical wedding venue and it was nothing short of amazing! The lush gardens and gorgeous greenery provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that our day went smoothly. The venue was well-maintained and provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding celebration. I can't recommend this venue enough - it's truly a hidden gem. Five stars all around!

Coming from out of state for our wedding was nerve wracking. We "online shopped" for a venue, able to do only a video tour, and crossed our fingers hoping for the best...and oh my did we get all that and more. Living Sculpture Sanctuary is more than a venue, it is a place that embodies a love story with layers that have been cultivated and cared for through the years. You can truly feel the spirit of love that runs through this space - and the staff that works here - when you step inside. By choosing Living Sculpture Sanctuary, you will feel supported, valued, and deeply cared for the whole way through your event planning process. I can't recommend enough.

There are not enough words to express our gratitude for the Living Sculpture Sanctuary. From start to finish, the staff were so kind, supportive, and made us feel like family. The venue itself is BEYOND magical. The energy is so peaceful and provided the most beautiful backgrounds for our photos. It was the absolute perfect space for our wedding and made the day even more special than it already was. Even after the wedding, they invited us back to pick up a gift and reflect on our love. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you are an engaged couple looking for an outdoor space that just feels like a dream, this is the place for you! We will never ever forget the memories we made here at the Sanctuary! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

I had the best day of my life because of this venue! The photos are to die for... The location is paradise in florida ! im so thankful I chose Living Sculpture Sanctuary !

Where do I begin.... this venue was a literal dream! From day one of our first tour to our wedding to even coming back after the wedding, the service was just beyond words. The staff was so nice and welcoming, they made sure your wedding would be the wedding of your dreams. Mary, Katerina was so nice and easy to work with, and Andres the on site manager was just amazing the day of the wedding. He was just so on top of everything. Every single guest was speechless of the beauty of the venue, and attention to detail. If you want a fairlytale dream wedding that is the whole package from views to staff, THIS IS IT. So thank you living sculpture sanctuary, I can't get over my perfect day!

A fairytale wedding! That's how my guests described my daughter's wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary. I knew it would be beautiful but even I was blown away by how spectacular it looked by night with the fairy lights. Many guests commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and I could not ask for more than that. I am so happy that we chose this venue and got to meet Mary who is absolutely wonderful to work with. Kate and Katerina and the rest of staff there, all amazing! I highly recommend!

What a beautiful place to get married! Simply magical ! We had the best time and loved this venue!! Love the Hannans

The best find for our wedding! Every guest had the most amazing time! The atmosphere was to die for working with each person in the front office was amazing. We will definitely be planning more parties there in the future.

I have to start by saying that I could not have dreamed of having a more beautiful wedding than the one we had at this gorgeous venue! After changing our date twice due to Covid, We finally got married at the Living Sculpture on February 5, 2022 and our guests are still talking about how absolutely beautiful our venue was! We received so many compliments throughout the night about our venue it was insane. Everything looked breathtaking! I am anxiously waiting for our pictures to share them. The staff was also great and we received two beautiful gifts from them which was extremely nice of them!!! I am so happy we chose this venue. It will forever be an unforgettable day! Love, Wendy & Yoandry Rabelo

Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the most beautiful venue. The staff was kind and very helpful leading up to our big day. Mary is soooo sweet and loves to help you plan the perfect day. Be sure to budget for the tents in case it rains. We had to get a tent for the ceremony and small portion of the reception area, but didn’t budget for it. The clear tents looked great though! Unfortunately, the toilets backed up the night of our wedding. There was nothing that could really be done, and they carted some guests up to the office while the office was open. But it was a bit of a disappointment because I couldn’t use the bridal suite bathroom and it created some frustration with guests waiting in line. Overall, great experience minus the bathroom situation.

Finally getting a chance to write a review for this perfect venue. Definitely one of the best days of our lives. Everyone who works there is super responsive and so nice and helpful. All of our guest can’t stop talking about the wedding and how perfect it was. Anyone who picks this place will be super happy and satisfied with the whole experience.

Living Sculpture Sanctuary was a dream. The venue’s beautiful landscape and scenery, everywhere you turn there is something new to discover. We had so many guests in awe of the space. It was magical, our ceremony was timed perfectly to still have the natural light that complimented all of the natural beauty the Sanctuary holds within itself, and when the sun went down the warm lighting and whimsical setting was the perfect backdrop to our wonderful night. Our wedding day felt like a fairy tale. The Sanctuary Team were welcoming and extremely helpful throughout our entire planning process, any questions we had they were just a phone call away. We are eternally grateful for the perfect night at this perfect venue. Thank you to everyone that helped along the day in making our day run so beautifully and effortlessly! Love, Sabrina & Alex and Levi 🤍

Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the first and last venue my husband and I looked at. We literally didn't look at a single other venue once seeing this one. It was everything I had ever dreamed of and more. It's a hidden gem that makes you feel like you're in a whimsical paradise somewhere other than Florida. The amazing thing about it is that every inch of the venue has natural beauty and you need very little extra decor to make it exceedingly beautiful. Not only that, but the owners and everyone who works there are so wonderful. They are very helpful and easily reachable. I wish I could have a million more events at Living Sculpture Sanctuary. It was truly a dream come true!

Our wedding was a fairytale come to life! Our guest could not believe how beautiful the venue was and didn’t know a place like this even existed in South Florida. The staff was kind and helpful every step of the way and gifted us a few surprises along the way.We had so many compliments, This was hands-down the most beautiful day I could’ve ever asked for. Do you yourself a favor and book them don’t give it a second thought just do it!!!

Living Sculpture Sanctuary is just that, a stunning sanctuary! From the moment we had our first walkthrough we knew this was where we wanted to have our Vow Renewal. The atmosphere, the owners as well as employees all have beautiful energies which was definitely a deciding factor in choosing this location. The day of our Vow Renewal, the weather wasn’t the best. It kept raining on & off & all we saw were the employees working hard on cleaning the area, sweeping the puddles of water away, & wiping down seats for our guests. It was truly a sigh of relief, to know that we had a great team who worked hard because they also want a beautiful event. The Bridal Zen Lounge was another deciding factor in choosing this location. The attention they put in the lounge, from the stocked up fridge, to the cool A/C, & the relaxing scent that fills the room was very much needed the night of! & very much appreciated!! We also kept getting compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the sanctuary was. It’s truly breathtaking & we highly recommend them!!

My co-worker showed me this venues IG and I instantly fell in love. It was our first venue to look at and new from the beginning this is where it was going to happen; even after visiting many others. First of all, GORGEOUS venue; you don’t need any decorations it’s so perfect! The owners are seriously the sweetest people we’ve ever met and we were extremely impressed with their background and how the Living Sculpture came to be. We were completely in love with Living Sculpture and we had the most perfect wedding there. I highly recommend this place for weddings and any event!

I choose to introduce Living Sculpture Sanctuary to my brother and his wife for the celebration of their marriage. This venue is such a gem, nestled in the suburbs of West Broward County. As a wedding planner, I have worked in this space plenty of times; but I now got to experience it in a whole-other level. We were so happy to work with the friendly and flexible staff. This venue has a well managed operation and we feel that their requirements and guidelines are well placed. There are so many wonderful experiences I could share from planning and enjoying this wedding here. We were especially grateful for their flexibility with leaving cars with valet until the next day, because not a lot of other venues afford you this courtesy in order to protect guests who've had a lot to drink. All in all, we are so grateful to the staff for how well they took care of us, our friends and our family and we highly commend them on the amazing job they are doing with the place. It is beyond fantastic!! Absolutely devine and oh so gorgeous. Thank you again guys, you are officially a dear part of our family's fondest memories. Much love and gratitude <3

From the moment I first saw the Living Sculpture Sanctuary in person, I knew it was the place we would start our forever together. We had a beautiful, emotional, all around perfect day at the sanctuary. We could not have done it without their amazing staff. Special shout out to Pilar for capturing beautiful photos of us on the day of our final walkthrough and then presented a portrait of one of our favorites right before our ceremony. Thanks to everyone at the Living Sculpture Sanctuary, we were able to make our dream wedding a reality!

This venue is a hidden gem, although it seems to be catching some popularity as of late. Seriously, you would never think this place exists in the middle of Davie. This was actually the very first venue we went to see in 2019 when we were planning a 2020 venue, we were heartbroken when we couldn’t have our wedding here because we had too many guests... so we settled for another venue. Due to COVID we postponed 3 times and ultimately decided to cancel our big wedding. We were able to plan a ceremony only at Living Sculpture. We had access to the whole venue for photos and video where ever we wanted. Our photo/video are breathtaking!! We only had 10 guests with 100+ joining in virtually and still, everyone was in complete awe telling us how beautiful the backdrop was. We had our ceremony, first dance and parents dances here and everything was perfect. They set up the couches for us under the cover for our family to sit comfortably while we had our dances. They made so many great upgrades since we first saw it in 2019 including the Zen Lounge. It’s an additional cost but 100% a must have for the bride. I only had 10 people at my wedding and no bridal party but we loved having the zen lounge. Anyway, this place is beautiful!! Hopefully one day we will be able to have a full celebration there :)

This is for sure the best place to have a wedding. Especially due to the covid situation, I wouldn’t have wanted my cousin to pick any other venue. Besides the fact that it has an incredible ambiance and beautiful scenery because it is outdoors, it is safer than doing a wedding at this time indoors. Regardless of covid this place is absolutely spectacular and I was so happy to be apart of it all.

Our experience with the Living Sculpture Sanctuary is one we will forever treasure in our hearts. From the moment we met Mary Luz and Bob, the creators of this beautiful venue, we immediately felt like family. Touring the property, we knew there was no other place on earth we would rather be married. When we first toured the property, we were not yet engaged, but we didn’t let that stop us from picking a date! Shortly after, we brought his parents to the venue and Josh surprised all of us by proposing to me in front of them! At the wedding, many guest and family members came up to us to comment on how exquisite, beautiful and perfect this venue was for our special day. We also purchased 4 desert roses from the sanctuary for ourselves and family, and now they are all blooming! Mary Luz, her husband Bob, Pilar, and the whole Living Sculpture Team hold a very special place in our heart and are our forever family! We recommend anyone looking for the most beautiful, breathtaking venue, to book your tour and your date ASAP!

We could not have found a more perfect venue to have our wedding with. The Living Sculpture Sanctuary is truly a hidden South Florida gem. This was our first stop on the “venue tour” list and last— we booked the same day. When you step foot into their space you feel instantly relaxed, welcomed and at peace. Maryluz, Kay and Pilar answered any and all of our questions and made us feel part of the family instantly. The most beautiful part of this venue is the owners have truly poured their hearts and souls into it. Everything has a purpose/reason— from the beautiful waterfalls to the stunning bonsai collection. The new zen lounge is a MUST for brides and their bridal party. Having a place to decompress before the ceremony made it that much easier to truly enjoy the day. All of our guests were in awe of everything and said they’d never seen anything like it. We both hope to have a reason to be back soon. If not, we may just have to pop in to walk through here and there and soak it all in again. Thank you, Living Sculpture, for the most perfect day!

I cannot say enough great things about Living Sculptures Sanctuary! Hands down the best venue in South Florida! The venue is breathtaking, no need to decorate extra. It feels like you stepped into a different world! Your pictures will turn out amazing with the variety of photo-worthy spots on site. Photographers absolutely LOVE shooting here. The venue is clean and well maintained and the Koi fish are beautiful. The new bridal suite is a must-have and made getting ready for my wedding effortless. The large bathroom in the suite was amazing because it gave me a separate area away from the guests that was clean. On my wedding day, most of my guests commented about how gorgeous this venue is and how they either want their wedding here or wish they knew about LSS when they got married. It is truly a spot that will leave your guests raving. Mr. and Mrs. McKee welcome you into their family from the first time you meet them and their entire staff does the same. The LSS staff always went the extra mile for us and made everything about our wedding day effortless. My husband and I feel like a valued part of their family, even after our wedding has passed. I 100% would recommend LSS to anyone looking to host an event, especially if you like an outdoor/zen vibe. I have no complaints about the venue, staff, or service. The venue, along with its owners, offer a genuine and welcoming experience! You will not regret having your special day here!

Beautiful and Magical! Amazing venue and great staff! Highly recommended! We are forever thankful for this special memory!

It’s been exactly one week since my wedding and I am STILL breath taken! The staff, the scenery, everything is straight out of a story book and who knew a place like this existed in Davie, Florida?! All I can say is- go, take a visit, and experience the magic yourselves. My guests are still raving about how gorgeous it was and people who didn’t attend wish they were there to see it! Everything is special and meaningful all the way down to the story of the owners and how this place was created. AND it was PERFECT for a wedding during COVID- it’s completely outdoor but with covering so all of my guests felt so comfortable with the open- air!

Our wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary on November 1, 2020 was a dream come true. We had an unforgettable experience being surrounded by Mother Nature and our loved ones at this enchanting place. With the hundred year old oak trees, three majestic waterfalls, freshly bloomed orchids throughout the property, (and the list goes on), this venue is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I are so happy we chose to have our once in a lifetime celebration here.

What a stunning venue to host a wedding. The staff is very informative, knowledgable, and will to assist in anyway they can. The venue is tucked back off the main road and you do not hear any noise what so ever. It is a hidden gem that you must go see.

My clients had a beautiful wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary in August 2020, and the experience was amazing. The day-of was incredible and went off without a hitch. The staff was anticipatory and responsive, and the venue was gorgeous. It was absolutely beyond anything I had envisioned. Beyond that, the owner Mary-Luz and the manager Andrea made the planning process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, flexible, and always professional, and went out of their way to accommodate any and all requests. This was especially helpful during these crazy times of the pandemic. I cannot recommend Living Sculpture Sanctuary enough!

Amazing and unique venue. As soon as you enter you can feel that this is a special place to hold your celebration. We love working with the great team at the Living Sculpture Sanctuary

I cannot begin to describe our amazing experience at this venue! Words cannot explain the perfection and vision behind everything here. From the first moment we visited the venue, we knew this was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. Not only we enjoyed every moment here but our guests were so impressed! The outdoor vibe and the balanced way everything is build it's absolutely impeccable, so peaceful and vibrant in the same time. There's so many different spots you can take pictures and enjoy, that I can't decide which one is my favorite! All our guests loved the venue so much and every time someone brings up our wedding, they mention how amazing the venue was. All my girlfriends want to do their weddings here and I cannot wait to come back as a guest too. The whole staff was also great to work with. We were assigned to Pilar, which is such a positive and beautiful person, and she was so helpful and easy to communicate with during the whole process. Also, I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the owners are! We were so lucky to meet them in person! They were so accommodating and provided us with way more than we requested. They made us feel so special and we are so thankful for the way we were treated! Our small wedding was during covid and I was so stressed out about how everything was going to be. On top of it we were expecting a rainy day with 60% chances plus the humidity! I really didn't know what to expect! But the owners assured me that no matter how the things are and how the weather will be, the wedding will still be amazing and so it was! They gave me so much hope and positive feelings that made me so confident and comfortable. As a matter of fact, I think we were blessed to have no rain at all and no issues whatsoever! We are so honored that we had the opportunity to get married here! Now I learned that wedding day pass so fast and it's overwhelming but I wish to the future brides to enjoy it more than worry about everything! We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts to the whole team for making our experience so amazing and specially to the owners for their touch and support that made a huge difference in our lives! It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you and we will never forget this experience! P.S. I couldn't pick a better desert rose! It's perfect and it will always remind us about how wonderful Living Sculpture Sanctuary is and the memories we made here! Thank you so much! Hope we'll see you soon again! Love, Anca & Valentin

Amazing venue and accommodating staff. LSS has a one of a kind zen mystique.

This place is the most magical, amazing place I’ve ever seen. Everyone who works here is super helpful and really helped us with knowing what we needed every step of the way. The gardens are very well maintained. You can tell that this is a child of love of the owners in how they treat their sanctuary and everyone who uses the sanctuary for their most special day.

I can’t express how amazing my wedding was at this venue. Everything from the beginning to the end was magical. All our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was and how unique the experience was. I am truly blessed to have worked with the LSS staff. Our 140 person guest list seemed like a lot when we were told the capacity of the space but one ever felt cramped. Thank you, LSS for helping bring my vision to life!

We got married on January 31, 2020 and we could not have chosen a more beautiful and simply perfect venue, especially since they allow fur babies...my heart was set on it. We were worried about the capacity because we had 124 guests, including us but the venue accommodated and it fit just right. The staff were easygoing with the documents and planning process and also did a sick job on cleaning and decorating. They have done many upgrades and additions to the place, that it looks even more beautiful than when we first saw it in 2018. The only thing that I have decorated was centerpieces because I wanted the venue to present itself and don’t want to take the beauty away from it. Our friends and family did not even know the place existed and it was a hidden surprise for everyone, including ourselves. We highly recommend for all occasions. Thank you Living Sculpture Sanctuary!

The venue is so magical and beautiful. The staff is so kind and always available with anything we needed. They were so personable and caring. They upkeep the landscaping so beautifully and seemed to always be doing updates to the venue. They made sure to know what and how we wanted things for the day of our wedding and organized the venue accordingly. I was extremely happy working with the staff and how beautiful everything looked. My most memorable thing is how magically it transformed from daylight to dark. It looked liked a completely different place in the most magical way!! I’d definitely recommend!!!! P.S. I was blessed with the most beautiful perfect weather.

From the first time we visited Living Sculpture I knew it was the venue for us. The relaxed and professional approach immediately put us at ease when making such a big decision as to where we would celebrate the best day of our lives. I was looking for an outdoor venue that would require very little décor and boy does this place deliver. Living Sculpture Sanctuary is a feast for your eyes; beauty & serenity everywhere you look! Mary from your warm welcome and total passion for your venue, we knew we want to get married there. It felt from the first moment all you wanted was for us to have a wonderful wedding With Adam from Sidecar Kitchen starting the process so well, you would normally think there might be a wobbly moment at some point but Kay has been nothing short of perfect to us. Clear in her communication, helpful with our decision making and again listening to every small detail we wished for, every guest without fail has mentioned how beautiful the venue was and how great Adam and the Sidecar Kitchen staff were on the day and we can only agree with them. So thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the last 18 months preparation stress free and a real pleasure and then helping create a day we will never ever forget. It was the most magical day of our lives!

I will never have enough words to describe this venue! Everything about it is beyond beautiful!!! It is absolutely stunning, unique, peaceful and so much more. The staff is so attentive and friendly, and they make sure to keep constant communication with you. Because it is surrounded by beautiful trees, it really does not need a lot of decoration, It decorates itself. My guest have not stopped talking about it. I have already recommended and will continue to recommend to every persons that asks for a venue. I can say with confidence, my wedding date would have not been as beautiful and perfect if I did it at another venue. Thank you Living Sculpture Team!!

This venue is absolutely stunning. Everything about my wedding on 11/23 was perfect. I booked my wedding at the sanctuary a year and a half ago and it was well worth the wait! I connected with the owners of the sanctuary instantly. They truly care about the environment and they embrace the sanctuary with a warm and loving feeling. My day was full of love, laughter & happiness, and the environment is empowering yet peaceful. My heart has never been happier before. We even have a part of the sanctuary (a desert rose) in our home to remind us of the wonderful memories the sanctuary has to offer. Thank you, Living Sculpture! We hope to see you soon. Love, Christy & Ryan!

We just had our wedding there yesterday. It was amazing! Everybody loved the place, it is gorgeous. the staff is professional and really nice. For sure I would recommend it to everyone.

When my husband and I first went to tour this venue, I instantly knew this was where our wedding needed to be. We wanted a venue that was the opposite of a boring, traditional, banquet hall, and Living Sculpture delivered. This place is absolutely magical: lush vegetation, bonsai trees, waterfalls, beautiful lighting, Living Sculpture has so much to offer. Our wedding guests raved about this venue, nearly all of which had never been to a wedding somewhere like this before. The staff was so easy to work with and you can tell that Mary and team have so much passion and love for what they do. Our day was absolutely perfect and it would not have been the same had we had our wedding at another venue.

Just had my wedding at LSS. It was magical. From the moment I walked in, I knew this was my perfect venue. You never want to leave it’s that peaceful. Everyone I interacted with throughout the planning process was a pleasure to work with. I got so many compliments from family and friends about the venue. Thank you so much guys for all the hard work you put into this place. You def can feel it.

Everything was perfect and went just as planned. We booked more than a year in advance so when we went to the walkthrough everything had completely been changed for the better of course. I would definitely recommend this venue

This place is just out of this world! It is the perfect place to make your dream wedding unforgettable I recommend this place 100%.

If I can turn back time to get married here all over again and again I would. The sanctuary is truly a sanctuary in itself, Mary and her team are simply fabulous. Always supportive, kind, resourceful and so easy to work with. The location is a dream come true for outdoor and nature lovers. So romantic and peaceful! I couldn't recommend Living Sculpture and the team enough, Thank you for making our day possible!

The Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the perfect location for our daughter's wedding, 3/31/19, so unique, a hidden gem and beautiful beyond words. Their staff did a wonderful job touring the grounds with us and explaining the history of the venue, a beautiful story. They were very accommodating and helpful coordinating the areas we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour and wedding reception; each in a different area of the venue. Everything about LSS was picture-perfect, we Love this place! With so many different landscapes for photos and an enjoyable atmosphere for our guests, it was truly an unforgettable magical day!! Thank you for making our wedding day so special and memorable for us!

The Living Sculpture Sanctuary is a beautiful, natural, outdoor venue for a wedding. The owners continually make improvements and the staff are incredibly helpful, organized, responsive and professional. I highly recommend the Living Sculpture Sanctuary to couples who are searching for an inclusive venue - a place for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. All our guests love this hidden gem.

My Husband and I got married April 20, 2019. From start to finish everything was amazing. When we first saw the Living Sculpture Sanctuary we were speechless. The only word to describe it was magical. Our guest could not stop raving about this beautiful place saying they’ve never been to a wedding like this before. The planning process was so easy with them. As we frequently visited the venue we always saw the owners (who built if for their own wedding) and they always made us feel at home with genuine excitement for our special day. I can’t say enough what that venue means to me. It gave me the best day of my life.

Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the perfect location for the Wedding of my Dreams. I didn't want to get married in just another Ballroom and wanted to be closer to nature and let the beauty of the venue be the showcase of the decor and Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the answer. From the moment I was in contact with Gaby, she was so helpful and very responsive to any questions or emails I had. Andrea was fantastic assisting us on the actual day of the Wedding. I was in living in Chicago when first looking for venues so Gaby met with my Mom and showed her the venue while I watched via FaceTime. I essentially picked Living Sculpture Sanctuary without actually seeing it in person. I just knew it was THE place for us to get married. Again, working with everyone at Living Sculpture Sanctuary was quite enjoyable, professional and efficient. Everyone truly cares that you have the BEST day of your life there. Mary Luz the owner did the final walk through with us a couple weeks before the Wedding and meeting her only solidified that I knew we chose the right place. She is a passionate, strong and amazing woman. She and her husband built this beautiful, magical place with their own hands for their Wedding Day and we are all so lucky that they now share it with other couples who wish to exchange words of love and promises in the same angelic space. All of our friends and family cannot stop raving over our Wedding at this breathtaking space and some have even said it was the Wedding of the century! ;) I cannot say thank you enough to Living Sculpture Sanctuary for making my Wedding dreams come true!

I cannot express enough how beautiful this venue is!!! Initially, my fiance and I had planned a destination wedding that fell through right when we were about to send out our save the dates. I was devastated and super discouraged about having to start from scratch again with the wedding planning. My friend suggested Living Sculpture as an option ( I hadn't heard of this place before), and that was the best advice I could've gotten. HIDDEN GEM. This venue is not only beautiful, its MAGICAL. There is nothing else like this place. This place is Instagram and photography heaven because every single corner is a great spot for pictures. But in addition, this place gives you all the feels. It's nature-y, open, and makes you feel so zen and present on the best day of your life!!! BEST VENUE EVER!!

Absolutely Perfect!! We had our wedding on March 10th at the Sanctuary. They say that your wedding day should be nothing less than amazing! and this place will give you that and much more. Our wedding was beyond magical and beautiful, it turned out to be everything we wished for. The staff is professional and accommodating. The actual sanctuary has amazing oak trees, desert roses, bonsai gardens, water falls, and many more unique places to enjoy a large or intimate wedding and reception. Photos are beautiful!! it is like an enchanted forest.

We recently got married at Living Sculpture Sanctuary. The location is absolutely beautiful---all of our guests were raving about how gorgeous our venue was. The staff at this location and the owners are all wonderful people--incredibly professional, prompt, helpful and also truly kind. They care very much about their brides and grooms and do everything possible to ensure you will have a magical wedding. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough---we both feel incredibly lucky to have found this spot for our wedding!!!!

Today I went with my mother and my sister for a tour at the sanctuary, we had a great experience. The place is beautiful. Gaby was very attentive and they were all very warm welcoming. I showed pictures to my Fiancé since he is traveling for work. I can't wait to show him this place in person it is much better than pictures. will be picking our wedding date soon.

I got married there on 01/18/2019. The venue was absolutely beautiful. This is truely a hidden little gem. All my guests get gushing over how much they loved the venue. So glad I picked them for my wedding!

What an amazing venue! I found this venue using The Knot.com and the photos looked amazing so I had to check it out. The pictures didn’t do it justice! This place is a luscious outdoor venue with lots of space to be able to hold your Ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner all at one location. It has a beautiful lake, alter to get married under, huge tiki hut with hardwood style tile, granite countertops in the kitchen and bar area, nice bathrooms, koi pond, bonsi garden, and a private area upstairs to get ready and a new cute area for the bride and groom (shhhh I won’t tell you all the details). We met with the owner and serval of the wonderful ladies that would be working the evening of our wedding, such dolls. Oh and did I tell you they accommodated is having our sweet golden retriever as part of our wedding?!? Made my whole day. From the moment we met the staff here they were attentive returning all emails and phone calls with any questions we had. They had a great list of vendors to help us with drinks, music and more! The day of our wedding it happened to pour the whole time and the staff were super helpful trying to get rid of standing water. We rented some tents and heaters and it pretty much solved our issues. Can’t control the weather. Our wedding we so amazing and everyone is still talking about it. I would like to say thank you to Living Sculpture for creating such a wonderful sacred place for us to have our special day. Would highly recommend anyone who’d like a beautiful outdoor venue to host it here.

Two days ago (12.30.2018) I got married at the Living Sculpture Sanctuary and I can not describe in words how they made my dream wedding come true. It was a magical experience from the very beginning. I cried the first time I saw this venue because I couldn’t believe I found the perfect place to have our wedding... I had more than I could ever dreamed of... I could never be more thankful with the beautiful group of people that helped me out to achieve my wishes. It is the most gorgeous location to get married at, you don’t even think you’re in Miami... it’s pure nature, good vibes and energy, and the atmosphere it’s beyond perfection. I want to thank Mary and Gaby... oh Gaby... you are one of a kind! You deserve a ticket to heaven from being such beautiful and helpful person with me since day one. Once again... THANK YOU Living Sculpture Sanctuary for making my dreams come true.. I will never NEVER forget this day... GRACIAS!!!!! And Happy new year 2019!! 🌷 ———————————————————— Hace dos días (12.30.2018) me casé en el Living Sculpture Sanctuary y no puedo describir con palabras la felicidad que siento por ver como hicieron realidad la boda de mi sueño. Fue una experiencia mágica desde el principio. Lloré la primera vez que vi este lugar porque no podía creer que encontré el lugar perfecto para celebrar nuestra boda ... Tuve más de lo que jamás hubiera soñado ... Nunca podría estar más agradecido con el hermoso grupo de Personas que me ayudaron a lograr mis deseos. Es el lugar más hermoso para casarse, ni siquiera piensas que estás en Miami ... es pura naturaleza, buena vibra y energía y la atmósfera es más allá de la perfección. Quiero agradecer especialmente a Mary y Gaby ... oh Gaby ... ¡eres única! Te mereces un boleto al cielo por ser una persona tan hermosa y servicial conmigo. Una vez más ... GRACIAS por hacer realidad mi sueño ... Nunca NUNCA olvidaré este día ...

Had an amazing wedding at this venue on 12/28! The place looks amazing at night and everyone at Living Sculpture are super helpful. Wanted to give a special thank you to Stephanie for being super patient with us and also to Mary. Thank you again for the Bonsai Rose, the wifey loves it! Living Sculpture gave us tons of time to do set up and breakdown and really worked with our vendors so that the stress was off of us, and trust me that really helps. Can't thank everyone there enough for helping me give the most wonderful woman a place to shine.

If you are looking for a venue that ties in a rustic, romantic feel and good vibes, look no more. Living Sculpture Sanctuary is exactly what you're looking for! It's a hide gem in Davie FL. What I loved most about it was the scenery and the beautiful detail decor. All the trees provided this nice shade and perfect temperature for your guests, yet they allowed for just the right amount of sun to peek through. What I also loved about the venue that you can dress it down or dress it up as much as you want to you're liking. Not only are Mary & Gaby amazing to work with, but they strive to make your vision of you're wedding day a reality. I could not have thought about a better venue and are so blessed I stumbled upon The Living Sculpture Sanctuary. Pictures just won't do it justice, this place is magical! Go see it for yourself.

Very unprofessional place!! From valet asking the groom for money on his wedding day because they didn’t receive any tips to not putting on the holiday lights and torches that the bride and groom requested! This place is all about their money and have no repect for people on there wedding day! I will not take away from this venue that it’s very beautiful and at a beautiful location.

We just had our wedding here at Living sculpture sanctuary, and although it was a breathtaking view and gorgeous location the owner and Caroline (staff) was absolutely horrible!! Before the night even started as I’m (Bride) in the limo the owners staff- Caroline is calling me telling me i owe her $180 for the tax, as I’m on my way to my wedding, when i had paid Mary-owner in full already and she had counted and told me it was good and all there the day i payed her. When we viewed the property Mary- owner went on and on about how gorgeous the tiki torches are at night, they were never all lite, some went out and Caroline was asked to light them back up, she said they aren’t working ! There were lights around the entire structure that were never turned on so part of our guest were sitting in the dark using their phones as lights to eat their food! During the walk through that would of been the perfect time for them to tell us that those certain tables will be in the dark. We the Bride and Groom had to call during our dinner to ask to have the lights turned on, in which Caroline told us “they don’t work.” As a business owner wouldn’t you think to get these lights a test run to make sure everything is up and running ? How is it fair the day of my wedding I have no working lights ? The next day when we went there I spoke to Mary about the HUGE inconvenience this has caused and she told me that I never “requested” to have these specific so called “holiday lights” turned on !!! I asked her to show me proof where it says in the final walk through that I signed where it says to “request” the so called “holiday lights” .... Mary told me she couldn’t because it’s not on the paper !! So how would I know about this ? She also told me that they weren’t broken ! So the night of my wedding how come Caroline couldn’t turn these lights on for me ? Is it because she lazy ? How is this my responsibility? The power went out 4 times throughout the evening and caused an issue and delay with our food! My caterer had to run out twice to get more rice as the power issue cause the rice to burn. We paid 375$ for valet and the valet guys are telling our guest to get their own cars! The toilets got clogged up multiple times causing a mess on the floors, they ran out of toilet paper and my guest had to use the bathroom without any, you would think they would have more than enough toilet paper. We are so unbelievably upset with how unprofessional this venue was. They are telling us it’s our issue the bathrooms were messy when they had a plumbing issue and they had lack of toilet paper. They didn’t want to take responsibility for the power going out when my guest at half of the tables were eating an hour after everyone else. My husband and I went to the venue the day after to pick up the remainder of our things. Mary had pictures that were taken of some of the things we left behind. When we booked this venue in March we were told that we were allowed to leave things behind and we could pick them up in the morning. I was very confused about why she had the audacity to take pictures when we were told something else. Caroline (staff) told my caterer to tie up the garage bags and leave them next to the trash can out back. Which he did. Mary also took pictures of this as well and told us that they were suppose to be inside the trash cans. It’s clear that the staff has very poor communication amongst each other. I was charged $150 for leaving the trash bags exactly how

My experience was not the best I sent my signed contract via email and received a confirmation email from them saying that my contract was executed and congratulating us for booking the venue. I also sent a deposit check that was deposited two days after the confirmation email. After five months they contacted me (6 months before to my wedding date) stating that my contract was not valid because it was not signed or approved my them. They said that I would need to sign a new contract they said that the first contract they sent me was outdated and that a few changes were made to this new one. They sent me the contract via email but there were new fees and more rules that my fiancé and I did not feel comfortable with. I asked if they could at least cover the difference for the new fees since we were already on a tight budget and had planned based on the first fee, but they denied. I unfortunately had to refuse to sign the new contract and was left without a venue 6 months before my wedding now we desperate looking for a new venue. (One good thing they did was return my deposit) Anyway, this was my experience with the venue I truly hope no one has to deal with an issue like this during the planning of your wedding.

Everything was perfect. Mary made everything such a breeze and gave me all the vendor insight I needed. Will Def be having more events here.

This is a hidden gem in South Florida!!! My fiancé and I recently had our engagement party at Living Sculpture and it was so dreamy and amazing! This venue doesn't even need decoration - its already so beautiful all on its own. All of the staff were very professional and so easy to work with and made our day run so smoothly. I can't say enough good things about the Sanctuary and so happy this is where we chose to have our event!

I recently had my wedding at the sanctuary and I was so impressed and pleased with the staff and venue. The venue was extremely beautiful and I barely had to decorate because the naturistic scene spoke for itself. The staff kept in contact with us and made sure any vendors we used were up to par and submitted all their documents on time. The staff was very nice and patient. My guests had a lovely time and they adored the venue. I also loved and appreciated my wedding gift from the owner. I would recommend anyone to book this place for their wedding, parties or any social gathering.😊

Thank you for a wonderful experience at the Sanctuary. The place is absolutely beautiful and gives you a feeling of peace. We absolutely loved the venue, but even more, we loved how warm and welcoming you all were. We felt at home there.

Me and my husband are so grateful to had the opportunity to do our wedding in Living Sculpture Sanctuary. her team were extremely professional and provided quality customer service, the venue provided all the commodity needed for an outdoor venue, they went above and beyond the call of duty. Perfect for the ceremony and reception.

Please Note: We strongly suggest you thoroughly read the Living Sculpture Sanctuary contract, especially regarding poor weather conditions. The reason I am leaving this review on The Knot is because my initial review on Wedding Wire was pulled (following protocol) but never reposted. For our wedding ceremony and reception my fiancé and I chose the Living Sculpture Sanctuary, impressed by its unique and lovely environment filled with gardens, tree-lined pathways, a waterfall and pond. Unfortunately, on our wedding day it rained heavily, and we came to the realization that this venue is, without question, ill-equipped for rainy weather. Impassable floods blocked the venue's arch bridge entryway and a second pathway entrance; rain poured down from the upper deck, flooding the dining area and bathroom. During this time not a single staff member came over to check on us, forcing us to drive over to the office and complain. Three employees eventually made an appearance only to take a single action - not to help us mop the floors but to place a plank of wood over the flood by the second pathway as a temporary bridge - the wood eventually floated away. One employee did stay for the remainder of the event (well, she disappeared for about half an hour) but offered no assistance. As our guests, several of whom were elderly, arrived and exited they had no choice but to walk over the steep arch bridge. Although venue's contract stipulates that the bridge is not be used (except for wedding photos) during the event, no where does it provide alternate entrances/exits during inclement weather. After half an hour of dancing, the DJ’s system short-circuited due to interference between his equipment cables and the venue’s electric power source, located outside, exposed to the elements. We danced to exactly three songs. The Terms and Conditions of the contract do “recommend tenting” of both interior and outdoor areas, which is logical. However, since the weather forecast for our wedding date called for no rain, we neither rented tents nor cancelled/rescheduled, which is equally logical. Prior to our event one employee reassured us that (1) pumps would be utilized to remove any standing water, and (2) two staff members would be on hand to assist during the entire event, both of which never occurred. Despite knowing how upset we were, the owners never reached out with an apology. I sent a letter to the owners expressing our disappointment and requested some sort of compensation for, e.g., loss of DJ services, but they declined, reiterating their contract rules and warning me they would take legal action if I used social media to make false claims. As lawyers they have that right, but as business owners who allegedly embrace a Zen lifestyle, I believe they failed. To threaten former customers - who left their venue spotless upon departure, is disgraceful. However, despite these inconveniences, we and our guests had a wonderful time and memories to cherish for a lifetime. Should the owners respond to this review, perhaps they can find it in their hearts (I hope they aren't "poisoned" by their own behavior) to offer a simple apology.

I love this place, it's beautiful! I love the rustic and elegant style at the same time. The service is excellent and the spaces unique. Highly recommended!

Can we talk about how dreamy this place is? When I was researching potential venues for my April 2018 wedding, I knew I found my reception site when reading about Living Sculpture Sanctuary. My husband and I live out of state, but the team at Living Sculpture made sure to stay in contact with us and made the booking process easy - they even recommended a fabulous caterer for us! All of our guests kept raving about the space all night. It perfectly matched what I visualized for our space, from the old trees dripping in Spanish moss to the waterfalls, I loved every single part of this earthy, beautiful place.

This is a unique beautiful place surrounded by nature with Trees, bonsai, orchids, dessert rose, koi pond and lake. Its a rustic outdoor venue and has main covering area for reception, a bar, kitchen, bathrooms and outdoor area for cocktail and/or ceremony. We were so happy with this location and staff was very accommodating and willing to work out al my requests. It rained on my wedding day March 10 2018 and we didn't plan for a backup, however it was still beautiful and it made it magical and romantic. All guests had a great time and they also loved the place. Just be sure to check for weather and have backup options for week of wedding.

Most well kept secret for a wedding in South Florida. Beautiful scenery, bonsasi trees, desert roses, koi pond, waterfalls. Everything you need for a perfect wedding. No decorations are even required. It speaks for itself and Natalie and Gaby will guide you through the beautiful process.

We got married at the Living Sculpture Sanctuary in January 2017. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect venue and night!! The place is absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a beautiful venue that requires very little in terms of deocrations than you found your spot! They will color coordinate all their lights including the ones on the waterfall to match your color pallet or theme. They were extremely accomodating to all of our requests. We brought in our own wedding pergola arch, largebackkground for a selfie station, had the fireplace going at night so we could have a smores bar, they allowed our horses join us for photographs after the ceremony and our pet duck to participate in the ceremony as the ring bearer. At the end of the night they gifted my husband and i with a beautiful bonsai tree made from a desert rose plant. Our guests loved the venue and we couldnt have been more pleased with our choice. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue that is unique and a hidden gem look no further!
