About this venue

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.

    We recently had our wedding at the Cooper Estate and words cannot begin to describe how amazing our experience was. From start to finish the staff was beyond helpful, specifically Idalia and Regina. Each of them were more than happy to answer our hundreds of questions and go above and beyond to bring our dream wedding to life. The location is absolutely stunning and all of our guests were awed by the estates amazing features. The ceremony space is one you can never forget. The beautiful tropical oasis makes for the most memorable photos. From the minute we toured the space we knew this was the one! The entire venue is beyond space and picture perfect! Our guest cannot stop talking about the food and how well run the day was. We can’t thank the staff enough for catering to everyone’s needs! Anyone who chooses the Cooper Estate is bound to have a beautiful day! We can’t thank the Cooper Estate enough for helping make our day everything we dreamed of!

    When my fiance and I first toured the Cooper Estate in Feburary 2022, we both agreed this was going to be the perfect place for our wedding. We booked March 25 2023 for our wedding date and we were so excited. Unfortunately April of 2022 we experienced some unforeseen medical expenses and quickly realized we were not going to be able to afford the wedding we had hoped for. We immediately contacted Idalia at Cooper Estate to see if they could work with us to return our deposit. She initially said if our date was booked by another couple, they would gladly return our deposit. She put together a contract for the agreement and we signed. As our hospital bills were piling up, we were so grateful for her understanding.Since it was almost a year from our booked date during peak wedding season, we were optimistic we would get our 5,000 deposit back, which we so desperately needed. After a few months I went by, I reached out to see if it had been booked and was informed it had not been. As August approached and finances were thin, I decided to ask a friend to reach out to see if the date was available. When my friend contacted Cooper Estate, she was informed the date of March 25 was no longer available. I was very excited to hear this news and contacted Idalia, who told me that the date had NOT been booked yet. When I told her my friend had just spoke to her, she scolded me for questioning her integrity as a business woman and said she would never lie about such a thing. Believing maybe there was some miscommunication when my friend called, I decided to wait another month and have another friend contact them. Again, my friend was told March 25 2023 was not available. I called to confirm and again, Idalia told me the date had not been booked. At this point I decided to reach out to a friend who is an attorney for some advice on how to proceed. He has been helping me try to recover the 5000 deposit that Idalia and her team at Cooper Estate signed a contract stating they would return if the date was rebooked. From 3 separate sources that contacted Cooper Estate, the date of March 25 2023 had been rebooked by another couple, yet Idalia has refused to return the 5000, has refused to communicate or cooperate with my attorney when he has attempted to contact her multiple times. I understand if the date hadn’t been rebooked, it is very reasonable of them to keep the 5000. However, the date had been rebooked, they were able to make the money needed off that date. The greed, deceit and manipulation that I have experienced from Idalia and the Cooper Estate during this very difficult time has been desolating.
