  Best venue in Miami!

  You won't find a better wedding venue in Miami! Everything from the view, to the food, the space, the staff and everything in between is perfect. Jordan was amazing to work with - so quick to respond, flexible and patient.

  Amazing from beginning to end!

  I was one of those brides who wanted to see all my options before I picked any venue or vendor. After looking at over 20 venues throughout Florida, we decided to pick Rusty Pelican as our wedding reception venue. We were blown away by the views of the bay from the very beginning. I was looking for a venue with an outdoor feel, but did not want to have our wedding fully outdoors due to the heat and risk of rain in August. Rusty Pelican was absolutely perfect. Throughout the planning process Jordan Babcock was a superstar. She was responsive, enthusiastic and gave us genuine advice. The day of the event Alberto's team truly delivered with the food! Our signature drinks were some of the best cocktails I have ever had. The food was so delicious. We had both salmon and red meat that was cooked to perfection. Our vegan option was so delicious even I considered picking it as my entree and I am usually not a fan of tofu. The pictures I have gotten so far look like postcards. I really can't recommend Rusty Pelican enough for making our wedding reception a dream come true!

  Dream Wedding at the Rusty Pelican

  I had my wedding reception at the Rusty Pelican Grand Ballroom earlier this year. From the beginning stages of planning to the day of event, Jordan Babcock on the events team was fantastic to work with. She was super responsive, gave great advice, and was very on-hands and professional. All of the banquet staff were wonderful, and the food was DELISH. Our guests were raving about everything! And lastly- the space and views are the best in Miami. The sunset and the night lights from the skyline were a stunning backdrop. I highly recommend having your wedding, or any other event, here!

  Best venue for your wedding!!

  The most gorgeous venue with the best views! Not only was the place beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is amazing. Jordan was great to work with and always made me feel comfortable and made me laugh throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the staff were impeccable. Everything was more perfect than I could have even imagined. It’s also very reasonably priced compared to other wedding venues and 100% worth it. 10/10 recommend!!!

  Amazing Venue!

  When we saw Rusty Pelican for the first time, we knew immediately it was where we wanted to do our reception. They offer the best views in Miami and not to mention their ballrooms are very spacious and beautiful. Rusty Pelican offered several packages including linens, cake, chairs, and food/beverages. This was a must for us since we did not live in Miami anymore. The day of our wedding, Rusty Pelican had outstanding service and the food was great. We had endless compliments all night! Thank you to Jordan and rest of the staff for an incredible experience. Look no further, Rusty Pelican is the best venue!

  Beautiful simply beautiful

  My wedding was absolutely beautiful! The view was amazing. The staff was great! My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better location. We live in NC and came down to Miami last summer to do 7 venue tours in 4 days. Rusty Pelican was our last stop and we fell in love with it!

  All I Can Say is WOW!!

  The Rusty Pelican is the ideal venue to host your wedding. I'm from South Florida, so I always knew that I wanted a wedding indoors, to avoid the rain, bugs, heat, and sweat. The ballroom at the Rusty Pelican was the best, with the huge windows showing off the Miami skyline, all while in the comfort of A/C. The view on my wedding day was absolutely stunning, and my guests have still not stopped talking about how beautiful it was. From the daytime, to sunset, to when the city lit up at nighttime, the view was incredible.
  On top of that, the food was AMAZING. Everything that was served was phenomenal, and I was blown away with the variety of food they offered our guests at the cocktail hour and reception. We added on extras four our guests, such as a cappuccino cart, gourmet donuts, Cuban sandwiches, etc. Our guests are still raving about how much food there was, and the fact that everything they tried was amazing. I am so happy I chose to have my wedding at the Rusty Pelican, there's nowhere else I would have rather gotten married!!

  PLANNING: Christina was my lifesaver. She kept me organized and accommodated my every need, including all of my crazy requests. I felt completely confident in her recommendations and suggestions. As a long-distance bride, you need to work with someone you trust. Christina was all that and more; I'm so grateful I worked with her!
  
  SERVICE: Wow. I was so impressed. Our glasses never went empty, the food was delivered promptly and according to schedule, the cake was cut and distributed quickly. We couldn't ask for anything more.
  
  FOOD: De-li-cious. The appetizers we had were so tasty! The seafood buffet our guests had was awesome and my dad was thrilled with the giant shrimp and crab claws. For dinner, we had caesar salad, a dual-entree of steak and salmon, veggies and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. Everything was perfectly cooked, most notably the steak which was so tender that guests could cut it with a butter knife. Our very picky NY crowd was raving! Quite simply, this was the best food of any wedding/black-tie/semi-formal event out of the dozens we've attended. I'm so happy I got to eat my full meal!
  
  LOCATION: The ceremony went perfectly on the terrace, and we had our cocktail hour in the foyer. Since we were the only wedding, we spread out and everyone relaxed and got their drink on. The view from the Biscayne Room can't be beat, and we had plenty of room for all of our tables, the photobooth, and dessert stations. Later on, we had a cigar bar on the terrace that was a total hit. Our friends were lounging outside with cigars and cocktails, chatting and having the best time. I swear, I almost cried. Total bliss.

  The most incredible view in Miami with an equally beautiful ballroom, amazing food & a wonderful team! From our first visit to our tasting to the big day The Rusty Pelican was so easy to work with & catered to our every need. We received so many compliments on our food, the service & the venue in general. Wouldnt have wanted to start the rest of our lives anywhere else!

  The Rusty Pelican (Miami, FL) was wonderful. It was a beautiful venue and the person who worked with my family during the entire wedding process was wonderful. The day of the wedding, everyone was very attentive. I highly recommend this location.

  The team at The Rusty Pelican did a great job for our ceremony and reception and I'm happy to provide this review and recommendation. The venue location is incredible. Great locations around the property for pictures of the skyline. The event space upstairs is clean, well lit, comfortable. They can accommodate ceremonies on the covered terrace outside as they did for our wedding and the event space inside can accommodate small events and large. The service level by the wait staff was great. The food and drink packages are great and the menu options are all wonderful. Hats off to Ana Maria Martinez, Nancy Moore, and Alan for making our wedding ceremony and reception great.

  This venue was wonderful. From the view to the multiple spaces for ceremony, hors dourves, reception and the planner. Everything went without a hitch for a perfect day. Even the weather cooperated. I would use Rusty Pelican again in a minute!

  I had the absolute please of working with Stacy at Rusty on January 15, 2016 for Barbie & Jorge's wedding!
  I have so many great things to say about Stacy and her team I don't know where to begin!
  She is definitely a great individual to work alongside!
  Incredibly professional! Has great communication skills! Is always on point!
  And was always willing to help me with anything I needed.
  Followed the timeline to the T.
  And most importantly made sure that the BRIDE & GROOM were taken care of in every-way!
  
  Thank you Stacey! It was such a pleasure to work with you! Can't wait to do it again!

  And most importantly made sure that the BRIDE & GROOM were taken care of in every-way!
  
  Thank you Stacey! It was such a pleasure to work with you! Can't wait to do it again!

  I have nothing but amazing things to say about The Rusty Pelican and it's staff. My wedding coordinator's name is Stacey Gershon and she has been such a dream to work with. She is very prompt with answering questions whether they are via email or telephone. She has been very accommodating to my family and I during the planning process and we are so grateful for that! The staff has catered to us at every pre- wedding meeting. Every time we have stopped into the restaurant to eat, the food is always so fresh and delicious. I really have nothing negative to say about my experience with Rusty Pelican.
  
  You will never get a view like the one you see in their ballroom, anywhere else in Miami! With amazing views and amazing service, you cannot go wrong!

  We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Rusty Pelican. You can't beat the views in Miami, the food is great, and the service went above and beyond what I expected. They made for a perfect and fun evening, allowing us to stay for an extra hour because our guests were having a blast. Ana Maria was great to work with. Very responsive (even when she was out of the office!) I highly recommend the Rusty Pelican we had a wonderful experience.

  I am happy our wedding was at Rusty Pelican. We worked with Stacey and she really is on point. She is so organized and detailed with everything. Any question we had, she quickly responded. It is pricey, but you can't find anywhere in Miami with that view and service. The food was great and we were able to take some to go and eat at our honeymoon suite. Truly loved having our wedding there, hope to go there for each anniversary for years to come!

  This place is absolutely STUNNING and BREATHTAKING. The customer service we received from Ana Maria Martinez, our coordinator is amazing! She is the best! The staff at our wedding, including Mario and Edgar, our Banquet Captains are amazing and treated us like royalty! Simply amazing and would recommend anyone to get married at the Rusty Pelican!

  My fiance and I chose the Rusty Pelican after being there for a bridal expo earlier in the year. The views alone were breathtaking and the staff was very welcoming. Within a week we booked the venue and from that moment on, Stacey Gershon, our coordinator communicated with us on a regular basis. She provided all necessary info and was very clear on the terms of the comtract. The food tasting blew us away as they were very professional and the food tasted amazing. The day of our wedding we were running VERY late and got to the venue about a half hour before the ceremony was set to begin. Stacey and her team immediately jumped in and offered assistance and ended up helping with any last minute details that were forgotten. The ceremony started on time and the venue looked beautiful. We could not have asked for a better team as they were very much willing to help with whatever we needed. More importably, our guests had a great time and I received very positive comments about everything from the food, to the views, to the staff.
