    Worth every penny

    Parties By Pat @ Crandon Golf Key Biscayne was an incredible wedding experience for us. From beginning to end, Violet, the event manager was accessible, attentive and offered personal suggestions based on our vision and personalities. We got married in March 2022 with 150 people with a "Tropical Elegance and Garden Formal theme" . We had the ceremony on the golf course, dance floor outside + upstairs under the twinkle lights, buffet dinner inside the restaurant, and an awesome lounge area on the bottom platform. The day of staff were notably experienced and passionate about making sure my husband and I were comfortable all night. From the moment we entered our party, they were waiting to take our drink order and during dinner had our plates ready at our sweetheart table cut up into bite size pieces. I could go on, and on about all the amazing touches Parties By Pat added, but the biggest for me were trust and peace of mind knowing their team was going to deliver. I havent even begun talking about the food quality or taste yet. If you're a foodie and want your guests to remember a delicious wedding, then definitely look no further. I am still dreaming about the food options we had, and they even made a special menu for the amount of vegan/gluten-free requirements we had for a number of our guests. All of our bridal party pix on the golf course during sunset ceremony came out stunning and our portrait photos along the bay and Miami skyline were perfection. Being able to use one of the golf carts to ride off into the sunset for our pix was fun and helped enhance our experience as well. Because we were the only ones at the venue and were isolated on Key Biscayne we didn't have to worry about noise levels, parking availability or competing with other parties for attention. It is easy to understand why Parties By Pat have been so successful for 20+ years! Lastly, I want to thank Violet again for her suggestion to have "to-go" Krispy Kremes at the end of the night before we got back on our shuttle busses for the hotel. It was a hit. Our vision was exceeded, I'm still floating in gratitude and amazement at how well everything turned out, and our friends and family are still talking about the venue, food, bar menu and dessert station.

    My Dear Amanda, you and Antonio were such a pleasure and easy to work with. It makes me feel so happy that we've done something nice for you and your guests.
    As I'm reading this letter from you, and smiling from ear to ear, my mouth hurts. And from time to time I get goosebumps.
    I hope you keep in touch.
    Sending lots of LOVE your way!

    Miracle workers

    The company directors Violet and Jose are the ultimate professionals and thanks to their effort, diligence and ability to quickly reorient we were able to have the wedding of our dreams.
    The weather was horrendous to have our ceremony on the beach across the street from Crandon Golf Club and literally last minute they together with decorator Myrna from Taylor Event & Floral Design reorganized and moved all the extensive decor, chairs and handled guests on their premises at the golf course.
    By the time I arrived I couldn’t believe the beauty and organization - it looked like a dream.
    The food was excellent, ambiance on the terrace and wait staff elegant.
    They have a huge amount of experience, flexibility and options for decor to make virtually any vision possible!
    We are grateful to have such a wonderful wedding put together and executed flawlessly in spite of difficulties.
    Thanks guys!!

    Ps. When hiring a decorator/ florist we initially made a mistake to go with a man named Alberto from Flowers Unlimited whom you should never hire under any circumstances. Always get Myrna- super pro and she also does complete wedding planning.

    Best food and service, hands down!

    Don’t sleep on this caterer. Jose and Nancy went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with each detail of our wedding. They addressed every concern and quickly responded to every email and phone call we made every step of the way. Every single guest had nothing but raving reviews about the food, which was to die for! I will have them in mind for any big party I ever throw together.

    Let me start with saying BIG THANK YOU to Violet and Jose for making our wedding day perfect. Their attention to details and experienced recommendations blew us away. Violet’s hands on guidance made all the difference. They very personable and very accommodating. We had a lot of requests and they attended every single one of them and were not shy to go all out. We had a lot of concerns especially with the weather but they did a great job at putting us at ease.
    The place was intimate, charming, and very picturesque.
    The food was Mischelin top quality. Our guests could not stop talking about the presentation and deliciousness of it.
    The servers and bartenders made sure there were no empty glasses at any time.
    Extra special thank you to Violet for always being there and treating us like family. Because of Violet neither us or our guests will ever forget our wedding. AMAZING!!!

    I did not have a wedding at The Links, this was my 50th Birthday party. I had 120 people though so it felt like a wedding. I cannot say enough amazing things about this location. The best part is dealing with Violet who made everything so smooth, easy and perfect. People were amazed at how beautiful the place looked and thought I'd worked like crazy to get it all done when in fact I on;y has 2 meetings with Violet and she took off and did everything we discussed. I literally walked in with my purse and dancing shoes because she did it all. I live on Key Biscayne and all people kept telling me was that this was the best party they had ever been to on the Key. AND IT WAS!!!!!
    My cousin got married here last year and it was also perfect and magical.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Parties by Pats. Violet and her team were nothing short of amazing. She was very receptive to what I wanted, and she always accommodated my requests. I found Parties by Pats when I chose my wedding venue at Crandon Golf Course, Key Biscayne. On the day of the wedding, Violet and her team prepared a beautiful venue. The table arrangements were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The dessert station was beautifully set up. The cocktail area was more than expected and included an cheese/appetizer table and mojitos. The service was wonderful, waiters for very attentive. Everyone at the wedding let me know how delicious the Hors d'oeuvres and main course were. Overall, I am very pleased in finding this venue and vendor. I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality of services and affordability. Violet and team were very easy to work with and made the whole process as stress free as possible. Thank you Parties by Pats for your professionalism and dedication, you truly made my wedding day special.

    Parties By Pat, Inc.'s reply:

    Dear Alejandra
    It was so wonderful to work with you, your sister Melissa and your mom on this together, you ladies were a delight. I couldn't be more proud.
    It is very easy to take the glory but this would never be possible without dedication of all involved from our cooks to bartenders and awesome servers.
    Thank you Alejandra for all your kind words and thank you for giving
    Parties by Pat a chance to put your beautiful wedding together.
    Sincerely,
    Violet Baxendale

    Exceptional food and service!!

    Parties by Pat provided the highest quality service and food for our wedding! Our guests even had seconds. The buffet was set up so nice, the guests loved the option of high quality sides and meats to choose from. The servers did a great job in assisting guests as well I recommend them to anyone needing catering, and of course we recommend the Crandon Golf Course at Key Biscayne.

    I am the owner of Party Connection DJs. I recently worked a very nice wedding at a beautiful venue, catered by Parties by Pat. The bride and groom were really sweet people, and the guests were great. There were some challenges throughout the evening with keeping everyone sticking to the timeline, and numerous distractions and changes of plans that served to sort of derail the carefully planned flow of events. I kept in constant contact with the Parties by Pat staff during the event - particularly Carlos - to keep a handle on what's next, what's going to happen when, salad service, toasts, dinner service etc. Even though the timeline went out the window, and "what's next" seemed to be changing every few minutes, the Parties by Pat staff never got flustered, lost their cool, or complained about the delicious and carefully prepared food being served much later than the original scheduled time (through NO fault of their own!). We coordinated beautifully to make things happen "behind the scenes" and the Parties by Pat staff was so very integral in making sure the evening was a big success. As a professional in the wedding industry myself, I cannot say enough good things about my experiences with Parties by Pat. Big shout out to Jose Martinez who oversaw the entire catering end of things and made it look effortless. Two thumbs up!

    Parties by Pat is great! In addition to catering my Wedding, they also catered my engagement party. At both events, my guests had nothing but positive things to say about the food and service! The only concern we had with the staff during the wedding is that the bar tenders had a tip jar out when they were being tipped by us and were informed we didn't want tip jars out. As soon as we saw the tip jar and asked for it to be removed, it was.
    Violet, and the rest of the team is great to work with. She is responsive and flexible. She was able to execute our vision and offered her expertise for many aspects of the wedding, many of which expanded beyond catering. She was with us every step of the way and provided us with excellent referrals for lighting and decor.
    I will be using Parties by Pat for any events I have in the future.

    Parties by Pat is phenomenal. Our wedding was at their venue, Crandon Golf, and everything was fantastic. Guests loved the delicious food and were so pleased with the entire staff. Jose is very responsive, helpful, and accommodating and was there each step of the way. Their pricing is so affordable and the quality is just top-notch. I can't say enough great things about the Parties by Pat team! They made sure my wedding day was absolutely perfect.

    Where do I start...Jose and Violet are absolutely amazing! They are so easy to work with. Jose is quick to respond, very patient, and between him and Violet gave us the most absolutely perfect wedding day. They have a large selection of food to choose from and it is delicious! We got so many compliments on the food at our wedding. There was a variety and everyone was very happy with the food. The staff that also works with them is great! Very professional and they went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day went perfect. I cannot say enough great things about them. They also have a very nice restaurant/ venue Fairways on Key in Key Biscayne. Definitely recommend as a venue and catering company. Thank you Jose and Violet!

    We contracted with Parties by Pat for the engagement party as the wedding will be in Virginia. They did an amazing job. True professionals. The food was excellent, the DJ was outstanding, the presentation was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make it a great evening. I would tell the couple to work with Violet Baxendale and to tell her what they want and their budget, then listen to her advice and suggestions. They won't go wrong.

    Please be assured that when you hire Parties by Pat you will be well taken care of. The staff was amazing. The food was delicious and the cake is by far the best cake we have had. From beginning to end Jose and Violet were a pleasure to work with. Surprisingly for the kind of service they provide they were very reasonable.

    We were very happy with the services we received from Parties By Pat for our wedding. They were very accommodating- even with unexpected last minute changes. The detail in execution surpassed our expectations and the staff were friendly and professional. Everything turned out beautifully and of course the food was outstanding! We would definitely use Parties By Pat for a future event :)
