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.

    A Day to Remember

    We had our wedding at The Cooper Estate, and it truly exceeded every dream we had. The ceremony space felt like a tropical destination wedding—so much so that people who saw photos thought we were in Hawaii. Walking through the lush garden with the stone archway and waterfall was absolutely magical and set the tone for the entire day. Our reception space was just as incredible—warm, intimate, and beautifully designed with elegant wood details, chandeliers, and stunning tablescapes. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. We had about 90 guests, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. We were definitely nervous going in, but meeting with our day-of coordinator, Idalia, the day before made a huge difference. She was calm, organized, and completely on top of everything, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the day. The staff, bartenders, and chef were outstanding. One of the biggest highlights was the Brazilian-style rodízio—it was incredible, and our guests are still talking about it. The Cooper Estate also connected us with amazing vendors. Our DJ, Hurricane Rey (SCJ Events), was perfect and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night. The cake and overall coordination were flawless. Photos by Elba Dipp were spectacular while also making us feel comfortable. The florals by Yira completely blew us away—far beyond anything we imagined. And a special touch we’ll never forget were the custom leis from Jill at Ainahua Florals, flown in fresh from Hawaii—they were truly over the top and so meaningful for us and our moms. The entire day and night felt romantic, exotic, and simply magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend The Cooper Estate without hesitation.

    Our Perfect Wedding

    We had the most beautiful, seamless wedding here! Our coordinator, Idalia, was extremely helpful and kind every step of the way. The venue had so much to offer and was so easy to work with. The food was out of the park and all of our guests continue to talk about how good it was, we did the rodizio package. Thank you Cooper Estate for the wedding of our dreams! I couldn't rave enough about this place.

    The best place ever for our wedding day

    The Cooper Estate was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. The communication with the staff, led by the wonderful Idalia, was efficient, prompt, clear, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself had a beautiful tropical essence that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The barbecue food they served was phenomenal and so many of our guests raved about how delicious it was. The Cooper Estate truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. We are so grateful for their excellent service and highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an exceptional space with top-notch cuisine.

    Wedding of my Dreams

    The Cooper Estate was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, comprehensive, and perfect - they answered every single question and concern we had. The quality of their work and value was truly AMAZING. The venue itself is gorgeous, and they were so adaptable to our unique style and vision. Every area - the ceremony oasis, cocktail, and reception - were outstanding and kept in impeccable condition. Idalia in particular was a godsend - I could not have done this without her, as she made everything so easy and perfect. I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone at The Cooper Estate for making our special day so seamless and unforgettable. They went above and beyond, even sending us a special plate from cocktail hour to enjoy and sending drinks to us while we were taking pictures. I had multiple guests compliment the food and staff (which is unheard of at a wedding). I would highly recommend The Cooper Estate to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding experience. They were the first venue we saw and the last - chose right on the spot.

    Couldn’t have asked for anything better

    First off, let me say that the best thing about this venue was working with Idalia. She was our wedding coordinator and made things so. darn. easy. I was anticipating wedding planning to be so much more stressful but she took all the stress out of everything. I will never be able to thank her enough for her clear and quick communication and staying calm and handling everything throughout the whole process, even when it poured rain ahead of the wedding. Secondly, the food was the best wedding food I’ve had anywhere. We opted for the churasco and it was delicious. I was very grateful that they were able to accommodate a handful of vegetarian dietary restrictions as well. The fact that nearly everything is included in the price or available for rent straight from the venue made organization so easy. I didn’t have to hunt for a DJ or rentals or a separate catering company which is so worth it. Finally, the actual estate. I’ve never been to one so beautiful or unique. Our guests repeatedly said they had never seen anything like it and had a blast. If you want amazing photos and a venue to remember this is the spot. P. S. Email them and ask about a viewing/tasting!
