Miami Wedding Cost: Honest 2026 Budget Guide & Calculator

Honest numbers

What a Miami wedding actually costs.

National averages set Miami couples up for sticker shock. These are realistic 2026 ranges for a well-executed wedding here, not the cheapest possible, not the platinum package. Just the truth.

Venue rental $5,000–$25,000 Landmark estates sit at the top; private clubs and blank-canvas halls at the bottom. Many include tables, chairs, and basics.

Catering & bar $125–$275 / guest The biggest single line for most weddings. Plated dinners and premium open bar push the top of the range.

Photography $3,500–$8,000 Eight hours with a second shooter is the standard Miami package. Albums and engagement sessions extra.

Videography $2,500–$6,000 Highlight film plus full ceremony coverage. Drone footage of the coastline is the popular upgrade.

DJ, MC & production $1,200–$10,000 From a clean classic setup to LED booths, intelligent lighting, and video walls. Modular, pay for what your room needs.

Florals & design $4,000–$15,000 Ceremony arch, centerpieces, personals. Installations and flower walls move this fast.

Planner / coordination $2,500–$8,000 Full planning at the top; month-of coordination starts around $1,800. Many Miami venues require at least a coordinator.

Hair & makeup $800–$2,000 Bride plus party of four, with trials. Humidity-proof products are worth every dollar here.
