Miami Ranked #3 Best Wedding Destination in the U.S.—Here’s Why 💍☀️

February 20, 2025

If Valentine’s Day just put a ring on it (congrats, bestie! ✨💍), or if you’re just deep in your hopeless romantic era, Miami is officially one of the best places to say “I do.”

According to a new WalletHub ranking, Miami is the #3 best city to get married in the U.S., based on cost, services, and attractions. And South Florida is clearly winning, because two other nearby cities also made the top five.

Miami Weddings = Elite 🌴💒

Want an iconic beachside ceremony? The Magic City is literally made for that. But it’s not just about the views—Miami actually ranked #1 for wedding facilities and services, meaning you’ll have plenty of venues, vendors, and vibes to choose from.

So Who Took #1?

Orlando, Florida. Yep, Disney adults are thriving—and it makes sense. Orlando has tons of wedding service providers, affordable hotels for out-of-town guests, and plenty of attractions (your bridal party hitting up Universal Studios after the reception? Goals.)

Right behind Orlando at #2? The ultimate elopement capital: Las Vegas, Nevada.

More Florida Love in the Top 5

📍#4 – Atlanta, Georgia (Southern charm, anyone?)
📍#5 – Tampa, Florida (Florida brides are really eating this list up!)

Other South Florida Cities That Made the List

🔥 Fort Lauderdale came through strong at #10 (Broward County brides, stand up!).
🔥 Hialeah and Pembroke Pines also made the cut, but … way down at #122 and #131. (Hey, still counts!)

Bottom Line?

If you’re getting married and want gorgeous views, top-tier services, and a location that guests will actually be excited about, Miami is THE spot. Whether you’re planning a lavish beachside bash or a lowkey, intimate ceremony, the 305’s got you covered. 💕

So, what’s the wedding vibe? Beachfront chic or club reception in Brickell?
