The problem with a shower brunch is the time of day
A shower is almost never a night event: it's brunch or lunch, somewhere between 11 and 3. That's the worst sun of the Miami day, which is why most showers end up in a restaurant, with thirty people shut in a room and the air conditioning running. The Pavilion keeps everyone out of the sun without closing anything in: a thatched hip roof with about 4,000 sq ft of continuous shade, open on all four sides. The air moves, conversation flows, and the photos come out in daylight instead of under ceiling lights. The roof handles sun and straight-down rain, but it has no sides: wind can blow rain in, so a shower outside the dry season should budget for side panels.
