The Report:

The 25,000 square-foot venue can accommodate up to 700 guests, offering panoramic views of the city in every direction. Features include high ceilings, drive-up access for load in/out, full electrical output capacity, ample lighting options, and five total elevators for guest and vendor transportation.
Woman Getting Married Says:
We have to admit when we first heard about a parking structure on Miami Beach being used for weddings way back in 2011, we thought it was a little bit crazy. But after seeing some of the gorgeous events there I have to say that it’s definitely a unique option for couples looking for something completely out of the box (or the building. LOL). While I think this venue might be better geared towards corporate events considering the high venue rental price, if you have the budget and a big guest list (and really want to WOW guests), this could definitely be for you. Note: Keep in mind that although the venue is covered, rain/weather can be an issue. You’ll want to talk with the venue and/or your wedding planner to see what your options might be.
