My husband and I had our wedding here Nov. 2024. Everything from the food, to the service, location, parking literally everything was perfect. I am being completely honest when I say I have no complaints. The evening went so smoothly thanks to the team at Vista Lago. They were constantly checking on my husband and I throughout our wedding. One of the most important details to me was the food and the food here was incredible. Everyone was raving about how great everything tasted. You have the ceremony, cocktail and reception all in one location. Not only is it great for weddings, but it is also great for baby showers, 15’s, birthdays and a lot of other fun events. It has high ceilings with beautiful chandeliers. It’s a gorgeous venue and the best value you will find in Miami. If you are anything like me and very indecisive and anxious, Vista Lago is the place to hold your wedding at. We are both incredibly happy we chose this venue and will be choosing this venue for future celebrations. They also gave us the left overs. We couldn’t eat on our wedding because of our nerves but we were able to enjoy the food the day after and everyone was right it was sooo good

Communication to me was NEVER an issue. Between the emails, phone calls, and in person meetings, the team at Paradise Cove was always on top of it. I can't describe how perfect this venue is in just a paragraph - every guest came up to me and said what a "hidden gem" and "an old Florida oasis". As silly as it sounds, they even reminded me to eat, and were so organized and in sync with the vendors. From the moment we first toured the venue, to the constant emailing, to finally our wedding weekend, the team at Paradise Cove made everything run so smoothly and truly made our dream a reality.

I absolutely cannot put into words how happy we are to have had our dream wedding at our dream venue. From the moment you drive in, the venue will leave you speechless—with stunning lake views from all directions and tall pine trees lining the way. Casani Estates was the perfect backdrop for our intimate fall wedding, with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake and a beautiful indoor reception space. I loved working with their trusted vendors, who were able to work within our budget and helped make our day even more special. The food was delicious, the music was perfect, and the photos were absolutely stunning! Working with Carmen and Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure. I’ve never felt so well taken care of. They seemed to know what I wanted or needed even before I did. Carmen answered every call, responded to every question, and made the whole planning process feel effortless. Our reception space was decorated beautifully. The venue itself is breathtaking, but when it was transformed with the decorations, it was truly overwhelming—seeing everything come to life brought tears to my eyes. Our loved ones couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, and everyone raved about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Casani Estates will always hold a special place in my heart, and we’ll never forget the incredible memories we created at this magical venue.

Dream Bay Resort was an absolute dream for our wedding day! From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. Lana, in particular, was BEYOND amazing - she went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life, even moving around tables and decor at the last minute due to unexpected rain. The quality of their work was picture perfect, with a beautiful beachy ambiance that wowed all of our guests. They even took the time to wipe down every single chair before the ceremony began. We got married a week ago today and every single guest has either called or texted us to rave about what a great time they had and how it was "the best wedding" they've ever been too! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend Dream Bay Resort to any couple planning their special day.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Suites on Sand Key in May 2024. It was amazing. The facility coordinator was great to work with and having both in the same facility made planning easy. Having a smaller guest count made it somewhat difficult to find the right location and price balance with other hotels, but this Marriott was able to accommodate. Our guests loved the property. I would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding!

We recently got married at Cypress Creek Farmhouse, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. When we visited for the first time, we knew it was the perfect location for our special day. Cypress Creek Farmhouse offers so many beautiful, greenery-filled backdrops for pictures. The outdoor ceremony area is stunning, has a lake behind it, and has a pergola you can decorate with flowers. The indoor reception area is wonderful as well, and there was plenty of space for our needs. The getting ready suites were amazing and offered more than enough space for everyone to get ready comfortably. Additionally, we greatly appreciated that we were able to utilize things like charger plates, linens, and decor that Cypress had on hand instead of having to buy them ourselves. On the day of the event, the whole Cypress Creek Farmhouse team ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day with our loved ones. What makes this place so special are the owners, who also live on the property. From the moment we first met, Ty and Craig always made us feel welcome. Throughout the planning process, Ty was wonderful. She is attentive, professional, and accommodating. From our initial inquiry to the day of the wedding, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Overall, our experience at Cypress Creek Farmhouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful surroundings to the wonderful owners (Ty and Craig), every aspect of our wedding exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Cypress Creek Farmhouse to anyone in search of the perfect wedding venue! Thank you Ty, Craig, and the rest of the Cypress Creek Farmhouse team, for being a part of our special day! :)

Islander Resort is a unique resort in all the ways a couple would hope for their wedding. As a long-time wedding planner in the Florida Keys, we know what couples look for when they choose our islands to celebrate. Here are our top reasons to choose Islander Resort. 1. Panoramic views of the ocean offer epic photography moments! 2. Venue choices offering toes in the sand, lawn or manicured patio make choosing a ceremony location that matches the couple's style easy. 3. Indoor and outdoor venues put our minds at ease for weather backup. 4. The most popular locations for the event are close by, yet separated from the main hotel. This means everyone can vacation together, yet the wedding feels oh-so private! 5. This venue is one of few in downtown Islamorada near top restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. 6. Enjoyable planning experience. This is a plus for both the planners (US!) and the couples. Planning a destination wedding comes with it's challenges, and the Islander Resort is proactive and solution-based, supporting a smooth and joyful planning process! We could keep going, but let's just say they get a 10/10 recommendation by your trusted wedding planners!

I just had my wedding at Palm House over the weekend, and I cannot recommend it enough. The venue, the team, everything. For background, my (new!) husband and I are Miami Beach locals who wanted a small, boho beachy wedding and when we toured Palm House last year, we knew this was it. For reference, we had 80 people at our wedding, and we did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception across both the little palm, and big palm (we did NOT do the beach - I didn't want to worry about any potential hiccups with wind or the fact that it is a public space, so being ASIDE the beach in the palms were perfect for us!). One of the best parts about Palm House is that it is attached to a hotel which is PEFECT to use as your room block for guests (which we did, and for ourselves!), making it super easy for everyone to enjoy a vacation in Miami, but also the ease of being right where all the fun will be. Our guests LOVED this! From Day 1, Melissa and Kim were extremely helpful with all our questions, which was key for us because we did NOT have a wedding planner - everything was on us! The months and weeks leading closer to the wedding when we had to start finalizing tasting, decor, run of show, and all the little things, Kim (point person/coordinator!) went above and beyond - not only was she super responsive on text, but she was always open to having me come in person to walk through things together. Three weeks before the wedding, we spent almost two hours together going through things, and finalizing the decor - it was so much fun! Speaking of decor - I attached the pictures because one of the best parts was that decor was INCLUDED in our pricing. This is unheard of...AND, its stunning. All of the gorgeous flowers (best quality fake/dried flowers I have EVER seen), table signs, and linens are from them! We of course provided our welcome sign and favors, etc., but Kim was super helpful with volunteering extra baskets, etc., that she had in her decor closet to help tie things together. She truly went above and beyond her role, which I GREATLY appreciated since like I mentioned, we were our own wedding planners! For the wedding weekend, Kim was also able to get us early check in (which is never guaranteed, of course, but she did EVERYTHING to make it happen and it worked out!), which was SO helpful to get settled. Our setup and ceremony started on time - we had zero issues. This is definitely attributed to having a run of show prior that we went through with Kim and our vendors (DJ and photographer), so everyone knew points of contact and exact timing on things - which is key. Also, myself as a bride made sure I was on time, ha! I will forever be grateful to the Palm House team!

Tween Waters was an absolute dream. We had our wedding on the beach (5:30 PM) and reception (6:00-10:00 PM) in the Wakefield Room. Logistically, it was so nice to have everything, including lodging, on the same property. It cut down transportation time between venues like other weddings I've been to. We structured our wedding day so that the entire morning, we spent time with our loved ones at the beach, and got meals with family on site which was so relaxing and fun. We wanted our wedding to feel like a family vacation and Tween helped us achieve everything. We worked with Debra who is beyond amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and worked above and beyond to ensure our day was incredible. All of the guests raved about the food and desserts. We opted to get a spread of Tween's desserts instead of a wedding cake because we love having options and are so glad we went that route. Tween is also extremely detail-oriented, especially if you have guests with food allergies. Our guests who stayed on the property had an absolute blast, and many of them now want to make Tween a part of their family vacations. Tween has many different package options that are customizable depending on your guest count and preferences. Getting ready in an ocean-facing cottage was out of this world amazing and relaxing. Staying on the property allowed flexibility in my outfit change and was able to rinse the sand off our feet before the reception. We were also able to get amazing sunset photographs in my second outfit. Our only regret is that we wish we had extended our stay by a few days after the wedding. We didn't want to leave!
