Cruz Building Wedding FAQ
Couples weighing the Cruz Building tend to ask the same practical questions. Here are straight answers to the ones that come up most, gathered from days actually spent shooting weddings in the building.
How many guests does the Cruz Building hold?
It suits intimate to mid-size weddings rather than large crowds. Capacity varies by which floors you use and how you arrange the ceremony and reception, so confirm exact numbers with the venue for your specific layout.
Is the Cruz Building indoors or outdoors?
Both. The interiors are climate-controlled and full of antiques and chandeliers, while the courtyard offers an open-air option. Many couples mix the two — an outdoor ceremony or cocktails and an indoor reception.
What is the best time of year for a Coconut Grove wedding?
The dry season from roughly November through April brings milder temperatures and lower humidity. Summer is warmer and wetter, but the building's air-conditioned interiors make a midsummer celebration entirely workable.
Do you cover both photography and videography?
Yes. We shoot photo and video as one coordinated team, so the two never collide for the same angle. Booking both together keeps your timeline simple and your coverage seamless from prep through the last dance.
How much time should we set aside for portraits?
Plan for about 30 to 45 minutes, plus a short sunset break. The Cruz Building's staircase, interiors, courtyard, and rooftop are close together, so a well-planned route covers a lot of ground quickly.
When should we book?
Popular dates in the dry season fill a year or more out. Once you have a date, reach out early so we can hold it and start mapping the day together.
