    Magical! Excellent staff!

    The Living Sculpture Sanctuary was actually the first venue on the list for my husband and I to visit. From the moment we walked in there was such a beautiful warm welcoming feeling. We received a tour and right after decided that it was the place we wanted to have our special day. I didn’t need to see any other venue. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff and owners of this venue. They were super responsive and super supportive throughout the whole planning process. The recommended vendors they provided were outstanding. I have not one complaint about the venue or the vendors. Only overflowing compliments. The venue itself is a hidden gem and is absolutely stunning. It was exactly what I was looking for without even knowing it. You just feel at peace while being there. I highly recommend the living sculpture sanctuary to every couple and have friends who were at our wedding doing the same! They have left such a positive impact on me that I cannot wait to visit the venue/staff in the future just to say hello. I am endlessly grateful that I had my wedding day there and wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Beautiful hole in the wall Sanctuary

    Mary, Dean, and the rest of the team from day 1 were fully committed to ensuring our day went 100% according to plan and exactly how we wanted it to go. Anytime I had a question or needed to reach out they were only a text or a phone call away and were extremely proficient in responding and tending to the needs at a timely manner. Definitely feel like one of the Sanctuary family with them.

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Hailie! We are so glad that you and William chose us to assist in honoring you both on your most special day, it was truly magical! We wish you both all the best in the start of your new lives together, and thank you both for being a part of our Sanctuary family!

    A Magical Venue

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary is the most beautiful outdoor, botanical wedding venue and it was nothing short of amazing! The lush gardens and gorgeous greenery provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that our day went smoothly. The venue was well-maintained and provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding celebration. I can't recommend this venue enough - it's truly a hidden gem. Five stars all around!

    More Than A Venue

    Coming from out of state for our wedding was nerve wracking. We "online shopped" for a venue, able to do only a video tour, and crossed our fingers hoping for the best...and oh my did we get all that and more.

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary is more than a venue, it is a place that embodies a love story with layers that have been cultivated and cared for through the years. You can truly feel the spirit of love that runs through this space - and the staff that works here - when you step inside.

    By choosing Living Sculpture Sanctuary, you will feel supported, valued, and deeply cared for the whole way through your event planning process. I can't recommend enough.

    Magical Hidden Gem

    One of the most popular comments we heard from guests was how enchanted and enthralled they were by this location. Many asked me how I had discovered such a magical garden hidden in the small town of Davie, FL. All guests, from the moment they walked in to the moment they left, felt entertained by everything the venue had to offer. Gardens to walk around, a lake a admire, waterfalls that change colors, a cozy reception area, a koi pond, etc. Every inch of this venue had something that enhanced its beauty.
    Lastly, the management of this venue are the sweetest and most down to earth administration I have met. They will not treat you as just another customer. But from the moment you walk in as visitor to even after the wedding, they will treat you as member of this beautiful place. If you want an enchanting and cozy garden, this is the venue for you.

    The most magical wedding space

    There are not enough words to express our gratitude for the Living Sculpture Sanctuary. From start to finish, the staff were so kind, supportive, and made us feel like family. The venue itself is BEYOND magical. The energy is so peaceful and provided the most beautiful backgrounds for our photos. It was the absolute perfect space for our wedding and made the day even more special than it already was. Even after the wedding, they invited us back to pick up a gift and reflect on our love. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you are an engaged couple looking for an outdoor space that just feels like a dream, this is the place for you! We will never ever forget the memories we made here at the Sanctuary! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

    Fairytale venue

    A fairytale wedding! That's how my guests described my daughter's wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary. I knew it would be beautiful but even I was blown away by how spectacular it looked by night with the fairy lights. Many guests commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and I could not ask for more than that. I am so happy that we chose this venue and got to meet Mary who is absolutely wonderful to work with. Kate and Katerina and the rest of staff there, all amazing! I highly recommend!

    Thank you for the most zenful experience!

    I, the bride was showered with the lotus blessing, and we both had spontaneous gifts from the owners. So much to talk about in such a little box! We wanted an outside wedding, and it was beyond our expectations ! This was a BALI wedding, without leaving the states. My photos are beyond me! I am so grateful to have chosen a location like this ! Thank you LSS for the best experience ever !

    Gorgeous Venue

    This Sanctuary is absolutely gorgeous! It’s so beautiful, zen, and surrounded by beautiful greenery and flowers. The wedding venue is stunning looking over a pond with fish and turtles swimming around.
    Definitely a peaceful, beautiful, and tranquil place to have your wedding ceremony and reception.

    Living sculpture sanctuary was an absolute fairytale.

    Living sculpture sanctuary was an absolute fairytale. I got married weeks ago and my guests are still talking about the venue. You get two completely different looks once the sun goes down. The venue is truly enchanting. The energy of the location and staff is the energy you want on your wedding day. My husband and I can not thank LSS enough.

    Great venue

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary was the most beautiful venue. The staff was kind and very helpful leading up to our big day. Mary is soooo sweet and loves to help you plan the perfect day. Be sure to budget for the tents in case it rains. We had to get a tent for the ceremony and small portion of the reception area, but didn’t budget for it. The clear tents looked great though! Unfortunately, the toilets backed up the night of our wedding. There was nothing that could really be done, and they carted some guests up to the office while the office was open. But it was a bit of a disappointment because I couldn’t use the bridal suite bathroom and it created some frustration with guests waiting in line. Overall, great experience minus the bathroom situation.

    The most Breathtaking Venue!

    The Living Sculpture Sanctuary is such a gem! When we took a tour of the location, my husband and I knew right away that we had to snag a date to have our dream wedding here. The venue is kept in such great condition! Every visit we had, there were always staff on site cleaning and maintaining its beauty. We’ve even seen the owner a few times working hard on the beautiful new additions to the location.
    Our Family and Friends were in awe of how gorgeous the venue was. It is filled with Bonsais, Orchids and so many beautiful sections and foliage to look at. We barely had to decorate or fill empty spaces with floral or activities.
    Besides the venue looking impeccable, the staff there working the event were the absolute sweetest people. They made sure everyone, not just the Bride and Groom, had a wonderful time, and that we did! Were so happy we were able to have our wedding at the Living Sculpture. We couldn’t have pictured a more breathtaking place to be on our special day!

    Most beautiful venue ever!

    From the first time we visited Living Sculpture I knew it was the venue for us. The relaxed and professional approach immediately put us at ease when making such a big decision as to where we would celebrate the best day of our lives. I was looking for an outdoor venue that would require very little décor and boy does this place deliver. Living Sculpture Sanctuary is a feast for your eyes; beauty & serenity everywhere you look! Mary from your warm welcome and total passion for your venue, we knew we want to get married there. It felt from the first moment all you wanted was for us to have a wonderful wedding
    With Adam from Sidecar Kitchen starting the process so well, you would normally think there might be a wobbly moment at some point but Kay has been nothing short of perfect to us. Clear in her communication, helpful with our decision making and again listening to every small detail we wished for, every guest without fail has mentioned how beautiful the venue was and how great Adam and the Sidecar Kitchen staff were on the day and we can only agree with them.
    So thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the last 18 months preparation stress free and a real pleasure and then helping create a day we will never ever forget. It was the most magical day of our lives!

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary's reply:

    Amber,

    You are awesome. We are so happy that your day was perfect. I love all the photos as well. Keep in touch.

    Nothing short of incredible!

    I cannot say enough great things about Living Sculptures Sanctuary! Hands down the best venue in South Florida!

    The venue is breathtaking, no need to decorate extra. It feels like you stepped into a different world! Your pictures will turn out amazing with the variety of photo-worthy spots on site. Photographers absolutely LOVE shooting here. The venue is clean, well maintained and the Koi fish are beautiful.

    The new bridal suite is a must-have and made getting ready for my wedding effortless. The large bathroom in the suite was amazing because it gave me a separate area away from the guests that was clean.

    On my wedding day, most of my guests commented about how gorgeous this venue is and how they either want their wedding here or wish they knew about LSS when they got married. It is truly a spot that will leave your guests raving.

    Mr. and Mrs. McKee welcome you into their family from the first time you meet them and their entire staff does the same. The LSS staff always went the extra mile for us and made everything about our wedding day effortless. My husband and I feel like a valued part of their family, even after our wedding has passed.

    I 100% would recommend LSS to anyone looking to host an event, especially if you like an outdoor/zen vibe. I have no complaints about the venue, staff, or service. The venue, along with its owners, offer a genuine and welcoming experience! You will not regret having your special day here!

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary's reply:

    Dear Taylor,

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. They warm our hearts and souls. There is no greater happiness for us than to see your happiness while marrying your soulmate in what it will turn out to be one of the most important days of your life. The creation of a family is a sacred celebration, and it must be honored and treated as such. It was a true pleasure to have you as our Sanctuary bride and look forward to seeing much more of you! hopefully very very soon! Much Love & Blessings, The Sanctuary Family

    Speechless!

    I am beyond grateful to have found the living sculpture sanctuary. The sanctuary was the first venue we looked at, and the last. From the second we saw this hidden gem we knew this was where we wanted our fairy tale day to be. Throughout the whole process, the staff was amazing. Everyone was so helpful and did everything they could to make sure our day was perfect. I truly could not have imagined our day to be any more perfect, thank you to the best venue and team ever!! God Bless you guys!

    Stunning location

    Living Sculpture Sanctuary is just that, a stunning sanctuary! From the moment we had our first walkthrough we knew this was where we wanted to have our Vow Renewal. The atmosphere, the owners as well as employees all have beautiful energies which was definitely a deciding factor in choosing this location. The day of our Vow Renewal, the weather wasn’t the best. It kept raining on & off & all we saw were the employees working hard on cleaning the area, sweeping the puddles of water away, & wiping down seats for our guests. It was truly a sigh of relief, to know that we had a great team who worked hard because they also want a beautiful event. The Bridal Zen Lounge was another deciding factor in choosing this location. The attention they put in the lounge, from the stocked up fridge, to the cool A/C, & the relaxing scent that fills the room was very much needed the night of! & very much appreciated!! We also kept getting compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the sanctuary was. It’s truly breathtaking & we highly recommend them!!

    Our wedding

    From the moment I first saw the Living Sculpture Sanctuary in person, I knew it was the place we would start our forever together. We had a beautiful, emotional, all around perfect day at the sanctuary. We could not have done it without their amazing staff. Special shout out to Pilar for capturing beautiful photos of us on the day of our final walkthrough and then presented a portrait of one of our favorites right before our ceremony. Thanks to everyone at the Living Sculpture Sanctuary, we were able to make our dream wedding a reality!

    Incredible venue

    Living sculpture sanctuary was the perfect place for our union. We could not have picked a better place to get married. This whimsical garden gave our wedding a fairytale feel. I felt like a princess in a beautiful garden. My husband and I loved the spirit of the sanctuary and our guests did too.

    Absolutely magical!

    We could not have found a more perfect venue to have our wedding with. The Living Sculpture Sanctuary is truly a hidden South Florida gem. This was our first stop on the “venue tour” list and last— we booked the same day. When you step foot into their space you feel instantly relaxed, welcomed and at peace. Mary, Kay and Pilar answered any and all of our questions and made us feel part of the family instantly. The most beautiful part of this venue is the owners have truly poured their hearts and souls into it. Everything has a purpose/reason— from the beautiful waterfalls to the stunning bonsai collection. The new zen lounge is a MUST for brides and their bridal party. Having a place to decompress before the ceremony made it that much easier to truly enjoy the day. All of our guests were in awe of everything and said they’d never seen anything like it. We both hope to have a reason to be back soon. If not, we may just have to pop in to walk through here and there and soak it all in again. Thank you, Living Sculpture, for the most perfect day! We are so thrilled to officially be part of the Sanctuary family!
