Miami Beach offers a Spanish Monastery as a wonderful setting for your Miami Beach Weddings. Marry at the French Altar. Intimate and engaging, this is the perfect location for a personal wedding. Tucked into a quiet alcove of the monastery, the French Altar is bathed in soft indirect sunlight creating a mystical aura about the altar.

The Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux was built in Sacramenia, in the Province of Segovia, Spain, during the period 1133-1141. It was originally dedicated in honor of the Blessed Mother and named the "Monastery of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels." Upon the canonization of the famous Cistercian Monk, Bernard of Clairvaux, a leading influence in the Church during that period, the Monastery was renamed in his honor. Cistercian monks occupied the monastery for nearly 700 years. The cloisters were seized, sold, and converted into a granary and stable due to a social revolution in that area in the mid 1830's. 

In 1925 William Randolph Hearst purchased the Cloisters and the Monastery's outbuildings. The structures were dismantled stone by stone, bound with protective hay, packed in some 11,000 wooden crates, numbered for identification and shipped to the United States. 

Today, bridals couples can chose from seven different locations at the Monastery to celebrate their weddings.
