The Cooper Estate is a popular landmark in our South Florida community. This estate today tells the story of what “Old Florida” was all about 100 years ago. The oolite limestone barn and home are meticulously maintained and have been lovingly preserved in every aspect. The property is still today a working native plant nursery. Massive live oak canopies, waterfalls, fish ponds, a sunken grotto, all naturally shaded and lined with rare palms, along with acres of manicured gardens are just some of the unique features “The Cooper Estate” has to offer.
If you are looking for a place to host a dream ceremony and reception, our team is excited to invite you back in time where hospitality and creativity collide in Miami’s treasured rural community called, “Redland”.

The Cooper Estate is the perfect wedding venue its rustic sophistication makes for a romantic and unforgettable wedding.

Small luxury and elopement weddings are trending now. The word elopement no longer means, to put a ladder out the window and escape! They have become the stress-free elegant way to still have your special day with the one you love, with more focus on the couple and not the guests.

Our on-site Nursery can provide much of your plants, flowers and Decor. This is a big plus especially with organic and garden designed events.
Magical Place When we began looking for places to host our wedding reception, we did not anticipate making the 40+ minute drive to Homestead on our special day. Then we saw the Cooper Estate online and realized that it could be our dream venue.Thankfully, it was. Every experience that we had at Cooper prior to the wedding felt special. Regina's guidance and passion helped facilitate our decision making; Idalia showed infinite patience in addressing all of our questions and concerns leading up to the wedding; and Donna's incredible attention to detail made every second flow perfectly on our wedding day (we found out from someone else that our wedding was on her birthday, but you wouldn't have known it because she went out of her way to make it feel like OUR day). The Cooper Estate made our wedding feel like a dream come true. All of our guests enjoyed the entire space, the food, and the entertainment. All of our photos throughout Cooper's grounds are absolutely beautiful. We are so grateful that the Cooper Estate exists because it will now forever hold a special place in our hearts.

The Cooper Estate is the absolute, most gorgeous venue in the Miami area hands down! From the enchanting grotto to the romantic barn, there’s very little you have to do to this venue to make it beautiful and memorable. Working with Regina and Idalia in the planning phases was an absolute pleasure. I live in California and planned my entire wedding 100% long distance without a planner; but for my every question, they were quick to respond and made the planning phases as smooth as possible. There was never a time I thought I had to worry about anything. The venue add ons, such as the draping or the moss aisle runner are readily available from the Cooper Estate which made things so easy. Our day of coordinator Donna was absolutely on point. She knows exactly what she is doing and is exactly the type of person you want running the show on your wedding day. She catered to our every need and made sure we felt like royalty on the big day. Looking back on everything, I wouldn’t change a thing! The planning, the catering, the DJ, the venue were just perfect. We still get rave reviews on how amazing our big day was and we owe it all to the cooper estate.

The Wedding of My Dreams We had our wedding at The Cooper Estate and I could not have asked for anything more beautiful. It was perfect. The venue is like nothing you will find in Miami. Our guest could not believe how beautiful it was and keep commenting on how delicious the food was, we had the Rodizio. Idalia was very helpful during the whole planning process and answered all my question. Donna, the Day of Coordinator, was a amazing to work with. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes just the way you want it. Our wedding was everything I pictured it to be and more thanks to this beautiful venue and Regina and her staff.

Where do i begin! There is so much to say about the Cooper Estate. First off, the photos you see online do not even depict the beauty of this place. The minute you enter the property, it feels like you are in another world. It is an atmosphere of tranquility, love, and happiness. It is just gorgeous in every possible way! My fiancé and I reserved our wedding date a bit over a year in advance. The calendar gets booked quite quickly. The owner, Regina, is marvelous! She is always just one phone call away. Anything you need or want, she will give you. She recommended a few vendors that I used that without a doubt, were the best of the best. Regina and her staff provided us with an attention and professionalism like no other. Our guest list including wedding party, groom, and myself (bride) consisted of almost 130. Not one person had a complaint to mention to me. Everyone had something beautiful to mention or remember about my wedding. This would have not been possible without Regina and her staff. The grotto, the garden, the brides cottage, the reception hall, the food, the staff, the sparkler exit. Everything is just magnificent!!!!

The best team ever Idalia, Regina, and Donna embody true professionalism and should be the standard of what an A+ team is. Idalia and Regina's hard work, kindness, and flexibility went a long way during the year leading up to our wedding. They all worked so incredibly hard to ensure that our wedding was nothing less than perfect. Donna, the day of coordinator, made our day so special. It would not have been the same without her. Any couple having their wedding at The Cooper Estate is so lucky to have this team a part of their special day. We appreciate everything they did for us and ensuring we had a top notch wedding. Thank you so much, Idalia, Donna, and Regina.

My wedding was better than I could have dreamed! This place is beautiful to begin with and then the way everything came together was perfect. ALL of my guests are raving about every aspect of it! The dinner was delicious, the guests commented that it is rare for "mass produced food to come out hot and then be delicious". The DJ that was recommended by the Cooper Estate did a great job meeting our requests and filling in songs that matched our style, everyone commented on what a great playlist. There was a day of coordinator that helped make everything run smoothly. She made sure we were brought drinks and snacks during cocktail hour even though we were taking pictures. She started the event on time and kept things moving so smoothly, I didn't have to think about a thing. Regina went above and beyond to make this the dream wedding. It is beautiful outside, the greenery came out great in pictures and the barn inside is phenomenal! Would 100% recommend!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Cooper Estate on January 7 and it was the best day of our lives! I absolutely fell in love with the venue just looking at the website and when I went to see it, sealed the deal. I loved how the ceremony was outside and the reception inside. When we went for the tasting they made decorated as if we were attending a wedding to get a better feel for the venue and what it would be like on our wedding day, we asked all the questions we needed answers for. Idalia, Regina, and Donna are great at their jobs!!! We did not have a rehearsal but brought all of our stuff for the wedding the Wednesday before the wedding and got to take one more look at the place before the big day! It did rain on our wedding day but the staff quickly dried everything for the ceremony to begin! Dinner was a Brazilian BQQ with skewers of meat and chicken passed around. Everyone absolutely loved the food and we asked for to go boxes for us which was delicious the next day! We had a firepit outside with S'mores after dinner. We used mostly all of the vendors from the cooper estate list and they were all fantastic. We could not have imagined our wedding being any better, all of our guests had the most incredible time and have nothing but good things to say about the evening!

I've had my eye on this wedding venue for YEARS! I always used to joke with my friends and family that for me it would always be The Cooper Estate or bust. Getting married here was an absolute dream come true! Regina and Idalia were so helpful with whatever questions I had and in accommodating last minute changes on my end. The day of coordinator, Donna, is an angel descended from above. She made sure that everything ran smoothly that day and gave me such incredible peace of mind. My husband and I also did our catering through The Cooper Estate and we got many compliments on the how good everything was. My mother was especially impressed with the service because food came out for the guests all at once - nobody had to wait for other people to be served before getting their food. The wedding party and I were treated very well and during cocktail hour we had plenty of hor d’oeuvres and drinks. A cake is included when you do your catering through the estate and is was DELICIOUS! One of my friends said it was, quote, "very decadent". A DJ is also included and he was great and kept everybody dancing! I've had lots of people saying it was one of, if not the, best weddings that they had ever attended. If you want people to say that you had the best wedding ever, look no further than The Cooper Estate.

Everything about this venue and staff was so perfect that It's hard to put into words the incredibly special experience we had at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. From the most amazing multi-course food tasting prior to the event, which felt like you were in a 5 star restaurant, to the attention to every detail in service and decor. The wedding ceremony in the beautiful grotto was very serene and made for some spectacular pictures. The Cooper Estate is an absolutely perfect, beautiful and unique place if you are planning your dream wedding or special event. Thank you Gina and staff for making this such a special and unforgettable evening.

Regina, Donna and Idalia will make your dream wedding flawless. We had a dual tour with Idalia at the cooper estate and the old grove. Both were breath taking! We fell absolutely in love with The Cooper Estate and booked it immediately. Regina knows how to run a venue. There is not one thing out of place there. Regina was so helpful with booking my florist with Dalyn with Flowers Unveild to booking our wedding cake with Ruthie from thrilled Cakery both highly recommended. She also recommended our officiant which was absolutely incredible. Regina we cannot thank you enough. And Donna you are a miracle worker! Donna was on top of everything she made our wedding flawless. Literally would never do a wedding without her again! She is the best of the best! She made sure every guest was comfortable and that the bride and groom had a drink in their hand at all times : ) I wouldn’t book any other venue but The Cooper Estate. Amazing staff amazing food we truly had our dream wedding

Excellent experience to say the least. The Cooper Estate is truly a fantastic venue. The location might throw you off at first but once you see it you will instantly realize this place is like no other. It’s a true gem. I had the pleasure to work directly with Idalia, Regina and Donna and they really know how to make the process a wonderful experience. It was such a memorable and fun day for us, we are grateful that we were able to take a step back to take it all in truly experience the moment and that wouldn’t have been possible without the wonderful staff and the remarkable Donna Ingram (day of coordinator provided by TCE) .Our friends and family did not stop talking about the venue and food for days. The venue was stunning everything we had asked for. The food was delicious, cooked to perfection with a fabulous presentation. I honestly only have great things to say about TCE, highly recommend.

The Cooper Estate is truly a magnificent venue. It is so beautiful, serene and special. The feeling one gets when you enter the property is magical. The garden setting is lush and naturally beautiful. The refurbished barn is elegant and tastefully decorated. The grounds are kept in pristine condition. It is truly one of Miami’s wedding gems. Regina, Idalia and Donna guaranteed us that everything would be perfect on our day and they were true to their word. The food was delicious, plating was stellar, the staff was on point, the venue was perfectly decorated and honestly you can’t ask for a more gorgeous place to share your love for your better half with your friends, family and loved ones. We’re so happy we got married at the Cooper Estate. Our wedding day was simply magical. We are beyond thrilled with the Cooper Estate!

Fantastic Experience Great venue. One of the most important things to me was accommodations for rain/bad weather. This venue provides that; they can do your ceremony indoors. Although it's not ideal, the inside is absolutely beautiful and would provide for a beautiful ceremony. The place appealed to me because it wasn't a ballroom. Nothing is worse than going to a wedding and sitting and eating nasty food in a freezing cold, bright ballroom. Cooper Estate is intimate with a rustic feel. Another great part was that everything was included: the day of coordinator, food, DJ, bartender, etc. You only need your photographer, florist, and cake. You can have outside vendors, but the in-house ones are great... it's not worth the extra hassle. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. We did a tasting a few months prior to the wedding and it was just "OK". But the day of the wedding, it tasted much, much better! There are lots of cool places to take photos all around the estate. Overall, I think this venue was great especially for the price. In fact, it's a steal right now! I imagine the venue will become more expensive with time, so BOOK!

Hands down, the best venue ever! When my husband and I got engaged last year, we knew exactly where we wanted to get married. We did not even look anywhere else and we are so glad that we didn't! The Cooper Estate is absolutely magical and our wedding was a fairytale. Our friends and family were blown away and had nothing but wonderful things to say about our wedding. Several people have complimented that it was the best wedding that they have been to. I credit these compliments to the Cooper Estate. This place is stunning, romantic and everyone had a blast. Regina, Donna and Idalia were the best! They were so sweet and always available to answer my questions. Regina made sure that our wedding day was perfect and we are beyond thankful for everything she did for us. Donna was our wedding day coordinator and I swear we would have been the lost without her. There are no words to describe how perfect our wedding was. The Cooper Estate will always hold a special place in my heart.

Words can't describe this magical and unique place. My husband and I booked The Cooper Estate 1 year and 3 months prior to our wedding date, through google search. The moment we walked in, we knew it was IT. Besides its beautiful surroundings, the service is truly special. Idalia spent over a year communicating with me back and forth. Always answered my questions and tried to please all of my requests. Regina was there to finilaze our decorations and dinner (my husband loved her personality). Donna - wow!!!! We can't thank her enough. All my husband and I had to do on our wedding day was smile, dance and love each other - Donna did the rest! She kept us and our families hydrated, fed, and worry free. My mother, mother in law, and MOH were amazed at how attentive she was. Two weeks laters we still talk and hear some of our guest talking about how magical and romantic The Cooper Estate is. If we had an opportunity to do it all over, we would choose them again!
