South Florida, May 5, 2025.
Couples seeking a one-of-a-kind setting to say “I do” can now discover Living Sculpture Sanctuary, a hidden gem just outside of Miami that blends lush botanical beauty with serene, spiritual energy. Designed as a natural oasis, the Sanctuary offers a wedding experience that feels both magical and meaningful, set in harmony with Mother Nature.
Founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Mary Luz Rodriguez Alvarez and Robert J. McKee, Living Sculpture Sanctuary was born from their shared love for the Earth and their desire to build something lasting; not only for their wedding, but for the future of their family. Over the course of two years, the couple hand-built the Sanctuary themselves, shaping the grounds as the sacred foundation for their union. What began as their personal dream has since flourished into one of South Florida’s most sought-after wedding destinations.
From cascading waterfalls and tranquil koi ponds to the meditative Zen Suite and majestic ancient oaks, the Sanctuary features a variety of symbolic spaces designed to honor the five sacred elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirit. Couples can stroll the Orchid Forest Trail, exchange vows beneath the Healing Falls Esplanade, or gather with loved ones for a heartfelt celebration in a setting hand-built by its founders with care, using natural materials and sacred intention.
The Sanctuary is the life’s work of Mary Luz and her husband whose shared passion for environmental stewardship and spiritual wellness led them to create a space where love and nature merge in their purest form. Their journey began in the world of environmental law. Over time, their bond evolved beyond their professional work, fueled by a deep reverence for the Earth and a desire to serve others in more transformative ways.
The Sanctuary is not only where Mary Luz and Bob took their own matrimonial vows, but where they have since invited countless others to mark their most cherished moments. With a full-service professional team, Living Sculpture Sanctuary brings each couple’s vision to life; whether for a romantic wedding, an intimate elopement, or a milestone event. The venue also welcomes a wide range of celebrations and gatherings, including engagements, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, sweet sixteens, corporate events, holiday parties, wellness retreats, and more. Every occasion is elevated by the peaceful, rejuvenating energy that defines the Sanctuary.
For those seeking a deeper connection, the Sanctuary offers a selection of exclusive wellness experiences tailored for private events such as weddings. Once a wedding is booked, couples gain access to holistic curated experiences including spa days, massages, sound baths, guided meditations, and private photoshoots — all designed to elevate the celebration and provide moments of relaxation, reflection and preparation ahead of their big day.
Living Sculpture Sanctuary is open year-round for weddings, events, and holistic experiences. To learn more or schedule a private tour, visit www.LivingSculptureSanctuary.com, follow @livingsculpturesanctuary on Instagram, or check out the hashtag #IAmTheSanctuary for more information.
