About The Coconut Grove Woman’s Club
2985 South Bayshore Drive
Coconut Grove, FL 33133
The Woman’s Club of Coconut Grove is a beautiful wedding venue with indoor and outdoor event spaces. Founded in 1891 as the Housekeeper’s Club, it was originally a place where women could meet and socialize. The founder of The Woman’s Club believed that women struggle with loneliness and isolation, so they needed a private space to unite and maintain a sense of community. The Woman’s Club became a meeting space and sponsor of civic engagement throughout Miami before becoming a nonprofit.
Today, Coconut Grove Events manages The Woman’s Club. The venue has been restored to preserve its historic elegance while adding many modern amenities. The estate still resembles the luxury and charm of its historical roots. In this welcoming place, couples can host the most memorable day of their lives.
Leslie currently runs Coconut Grove Events and is the venue’s owner and principal design planner. She has worked with hundreds of brides-to-be, working with them to design the wedding of their dreams. The philosophy of Coconut Grove Events is that the wedding planning process should be both exciting and enjoyable. Couples have already done the hard part, choosing to spend the rest of their lives together. So why not let the venue take over the rest?
Beautiful weddings start with each couple’s story, which includes their family, friends, and goals for the special day. Couples work with the events team to design, plan, and execute a once-in-a-lifetime event. They strive to combine the venue’s natural beauty with one of Miami’s most historic landmarks.

In addition to the venue’s spaces, there’s a city park nearby that’s easily walkable with large wedding parties. Or, couples can hire The Miami White Trolly to take them around town in a cute trolly, stopping at local sites for photos. I personally love the park across the street, Peacock Park, or the nearby Prado Entrance for photos (permit required!)
