ot 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

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!

ulpture 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!

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.

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 owne...
rs 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

Dear Kayla Goodman and Victor Mancebo, As thoroughly explained to you the day after your beautiful wedding, your contract DID NOT include Valet Parking Services or Cleaning Services during and after the event. However, these services were req...
uired and were the sole responsibility of the lessees- you and Victor. Unlike other venues, we do not penalize you or force you to use our preferred vendors, you had the absolute freedom of hiring the service providers to perform the required services as long as these were licensed, insured, professional and complied with the clearly stated rules set-out in our addendums. Months in advance, we sent reminders regarding your responsibility involving Valet Parking Services and Cleaning Services. We even sent written confirmation to your chosen catering company, Deluxe Catering, reminding them of the cleaning services duties for during and after the event. Mr. Joao from the Catering Company, responded by preparing extra staff for performing these cleaning services, but you and Victor rejected these services, despite being required and your full responsibility. Contrary to the terms of the contract, you and your staff left the Sanctuary with trash, dirty, with rentals left behind, and even with broken pieces of glass. We have photographs of all these breaches. In spite of all this, we graciously tried to talk to you and work any misunderstanding out in an amicable way~ considering that all of the guests with the exception of you – had a fantastic time according to your own words. Your attitude and specially Victor’s attitude the following day was very aggressive, and disrespectful- and Victor even used curse words during our conversation. After that meeting in which I apologized for any misunderstanding, explained and address all of your concerns-even that the Holiday lights are not turned on unless our bride/groom specially asked for them (some brides do not like them outside Holiday Season) on the Walk-through, your husband Victor called me from your cell phone demanding us to pay him money in a period of 24 hours or else will “go all over the web destroying our reputation”. These false, defamatory and extortive reviews posted by you and him on Facebook, google, wedding wire and the Knot, are not only damaging but illegal. We at the Sanctuary strive to improve with each event and get better at what we do as this is a labor of love- at the same time, we will not be bullied or extorted by defamatory reviews. Please immediately remove all of these false, defamatory and extortive reviews~. Here at the Sanctuary, we improve with each event and feedback. Please be advised that all of our new contracts have as complimentary services Valet Parking Services and Cleaning Services. Although it makes us very sad to learn of your bitterness with a few misunderstandings involving your wedding, we can only hope you can mediate and reflect back on this – as to see the truth and light- so your inner peace and beauty can match that of the lovely images of both of you from your wedding. Peace, Blessings and Forgiveness to you~ The Sanctuary Family

We encourage you to immediately contact your attorney Ms. Anderson from Glantz Law in Plantation, who you hired to specifically go over every item in the contract. We answered thoroughly all of her questions made on your behalf, and had been waiting for you to fully execute our contract documentation for months - until we received a call from her on September 13, 2018 informing us that you and Gabriel had decided not to move forward with your wedding rental application. Please keep in mind the discounted rental price never changed. We expressed our regret to hear of your decision but that we completely understood, and were more than happy and willing to return your hold payment for said date. As always, we are here for you if you would like us to provide all pertinent documentation memorializing our conversations and evidence of our communications with your attorney. Meanwhile , please immediately remove this false, misleading and potentially defamatory review against our beloved Sanctuary as it is not true. We cannot imagine the same scenario where a bride and groom leave false reviews after having cancelled their wedding application through their attorney. We wish you good luck and happiness with your upcoming wedding 💗

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.

leaning of the premises during and after the event outlined in the rental agreement. Instead of looking at the rain as a blessing bestowed upon you by Mother Nature and preparing to celebrate your marriage under these conditions, you chose to blatantly ignore and neglect any preparation for a rainy day and end up suffering the natural consequences of your actions. Our team went above and beyond and had been cleaning and preparing the venue for your wedding since 8 am that day, but unfortunately the weather did not help. Your bitterness with the rainy conditions had fogged your minds as your words in your review do not comport with reality of what had happened. Not only our team was working very hard before the event to help you make up for your tenting shortfalls, but even the owners of the Sanctuary personally stopped by after your gotten married to check up on you and to offer you and Richard a lovely desert rose as a wedding gift. It makes us very sad to learn of your bitter experience, but the reality is that the Sanctuary is a breathtaking natural environment not suitable for those who are not ready to embrace what Mother Nature has to offer, prepare for it and make the best of it. We wish you a lifelong happiness in your marriage, and leave these images below as a reminder of our special wishes on your special day. With Love, The Sanctuary Family PS- See link to evidence clearly contradicting your above-mentioned statements, including but not limited to the review you left for the provider DJ SOFLO covering your wedding for whom you were demanding reimbursement of DJ services from us. https://imgur.com/dQ88047 https://imgur.com/wL1VPPY https://imgur.com/qhwvkDM
