12 ceremony-only elopement venues in Miami

Ceremony-only sites are priced for the vows and nothing else, which is the entire point of an elopement and the reason the number is so small. Every listing below is a real Miami area site with a price published by the venue itself or in a public fee schedule, checked in August 2026. We do not publish estimates, and we do not take a cut of what you book.
