The Cooper Estate 
Rating: 4.5 (8 reviews)
Redland, FL
  • Raw space & select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $75,000

The Cooper Estate is a popular landmark in our South Florida community. This estate today tells the story of what “Old Florida” was all about 100 years ago. The oolite limestone barn and home are meticulously maintained and have been lovingly preserved in every aspect. The property is still today a working native plant nursery. Massive live oak canopies, waterfalls, fish ponds, a sunken grotto, all naturally shaded and lined with rare palms, along with acres of manicured gardens are just some of the unique features “The Cooper Estate” has to offer.

It’s been a few months since I got married, but my family and I are STILL talking about this venue. The venue itself is so stunning that you barely need any extra decorations—the space just speaks for itself. And the staff? Absolute rockstars. They’re so friendly, accommodating, and detail-oriented. Every decoration we brought in was set up BEAUTIFULLY. They even have policies that actually make sense (no “just because” rules here), and if you’ve got your heart set on something outside the norm, they’ll do everything they can to find a compromise. We were lucky enough to work with Idalia, our venue coordinator, from our very first tour to the big day itself. She’s an absolute pro—quick to respond, easy to work with, and just genuinely amazing. On the wedding day, she was there at all the right moments, even fixing my necklace when it was on backward right before I walked down the aisle. She thought of everything—like setting aside appetizers at our king table (I believe apps entrees) and making sure we had drinks ready for photos after the ceremony. The attention to detail was next-level. We went with the rodizio option, and WOW. Our guests are still raving about it! And our DJ kept the dance floor packed all night. It was just one incredible thing after another. The Cooper Estate exceeded all of our expectations. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a magical, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience.
