The 411
Where to Stay & What to Do
We decided to skip the whole room block thing (because, let’s be honest, we barely know where we're staying), but we still wanted to give you some great hotel options and fun things to do in case you’re turning this wedding into the mini Miami vacation you absolutely deserve. Treat yourself — you're not just a guest, you're part of the main event.

Novotel Miami Brickell
Star Rating: 4
Distance From Venue: 1.4m
Price: $$
Fun Fact: We’ve never actually stayed at Novotel Miami Brickell, but it is the closest boutique hotel to the venue — and it’s giving serious Pink Pony Club energy. Chic, modern, and just a touch dramatic (in the best way), it’s basically the flamingo of hotel options: stylish, perfectly placed, and pretty in pink. If you're looking for something walkable and boutique — this is the one.
Four Seasons Hotel Miami
Star Rating: 5
Distance From Venue: 1.7m
Price: $$$$
Fun Fact: We said treat yourself — and if you’re looking to go full glam for the wedding weekend, the Four Seasons Hotel Miami is the move. Rooftop palm-lined pools, a world-class spa, handcrafted cocktails delivered poolside… it’s giving honeymoon energy before the wedding even starts.
We won’t be staying there (we’re fancy, just not that fancy), so if you do — you’ll have to tell us all about it
Tru by Hilton Miami West Brickell
Star Rating: 3
Distance From Venue: 0.9m
Price: $
Fun Fact: This is your best bet for a budget-friendly hotel that’s still cute, comfy, and close to the venue. It’s been personally vetted by none other than Ms. Roberta (Bret’s mom), who’s basically their unofficial brand ambassador after a few stays. If you want the real scoop—like which snacks are worth it in the lobby or which side of the building gets the best morning light—she’s got you covered. (we think.)
Kimpton EPIC Hotel
Star Rating: 4
Distance From Venue: 2.5m
Price: $$$
Fun Fact: This is the hotel Bret called home while waiting on his very delayed Miami apartment (shoutout to construction timelines!). He had a time trying to park his 20-foot U-Haul here—so unless you’re rolling up in a moving truck, you should be just fine. Dylan also treated Bret to an amazing couples massage at the spa (because stress is real), and the on-site restaurants are top-notch. It’s a little farther from the venue, but it’s giving major Miami vibes—think palm trees, poolside cocktails, and just the right amount of bougie. Bonus: it’s right on the Miami River in the heart of Brickell, so you’ll be staying in the center of all the action.
Dua Miami, Autograph Collection
Star Rating: 5
Distance From Venue: 1.7m
Price: $$$
Fun Fact: Looking for bougie vibes like the Epic, but a bit closer to the venue? This is your spot. We went to a magic show here recentlyt that absolutely blew our minds—we’re still not sure if we saw illusions or just drank too many margaritas. Either way, if you choose to stay here, who knows… maybe you’ll experience a little magic too.
Arlo Wynwood
Star Rating: 4
Distance From Venue: 3.1m
Price: $$
Fun Fact: This hotel is a bit farther from the venue, but it’s the closest (and most fabulous) option to the rest of the weekend fun—and it’s right in the heart of Wynwood. If you're looking for a scene that's less black tie and more tie-dye, this is your spot. Dylan and I have even caught a DJ or two spinning on the rooftop, which pretty much sums up the vibe: artsy, lively, and just the right amount of chaos. Formality? We don’t know her here.
