The Addison Reviews

We are from out of state and booked The Addison for our wedding venue, sight unseen. After reading the fabulous reviews and seeing pictures of the venue, we knew it would be the perfect fit, and we were right! I was concerned about planning a great wedding while not being in the area. However, the team at The Addison made the entire process seamless from start to finish! From answering my plethora of questions over months of planning (thank you Heather & Taylor!), to providing an incredible list of vendors, to guiding us through the day without a single problem (major shout out to Alyssa!), it was an impeccable experience. We received compliments from every single guest on how amazing the food was (the sea bass is GREAT!), outstanding service, beauty of the venue and how well the entire evening flowed/was organized. Several of our guests said the event was “the best wedding they ever attended”. We are so beyond thrilled with our decision to choose The Addison as our venue for our wedding day, and highly, highly recommend. Truly the best day ever, thanks to The Addison & staff!

The Addison exceeded our expectations! It was a joy working with their staff during the wedding process. They made Wedding day was super stress-free! I would love to attended a wedding there myself so I can experience it fully as a guest!

Working with The Addison and Cindy Pierce, our wedding planner, was an absolute dream from start to finish. The Addison truly brought our wedding dreams into a reality. We also received numerous comments about how amazing the food was. Truly the best wedding food you will ever eat.

We cannot thank Cindy enough for her dedication that was evident through endless meetings and numerous emails where she patiently addressed all our questions. Cindy's expertise and guidance were invaluable in bringing our vision to life along with the rest of the day of staff. Jennifer, I cannot thank you enough for being my right hand on the day of my wedding. We cannot believe how amazing everything was at the Addison, we want to do it all over again just so we can take it all in!

Most wedding venues are beautiful, and the Addison is so much more. We got married in the courtyard with the fountain running and it was magical. Our guest gushed over the service and the food; it was amazing. Both our wedding coordinator throughout the process and our day-of the wedding concierge where incredible. I cannot recommend the Addison enough.

Our wedding last Thursday was a dream come true. My guests GUSHED about how it was the best and most perfect wedding they have ever been to, ever. The food, beverages, service, venue aesthetics, lighting, and coordination. It was all perfection. You would have thought my husband and I were royalty with how we were treated by the staff and managers at the Addison. Grace, our wonderful wedding event manager, made me feel so comfortable and like her highest priority client. My event was stress-free for everyone involved, especially me as a bride. The Addison provided me my very own bridal attendant (shout out to Jennifer) who stayed with me and helped me with anything and everything (literally she got me another margarita without being asked when the one I was holding was looked a little watered down after awhile). I could not say enough amazing things about this venue and this team. 1000% worth it.

Where do I even begin… the Addison was such a magical venue for Collin and I to get married at. We were very impressed with the food and the amazing service we got since the very beginning. We had Helene assist us throughout the year and she was such a blessing to have. She made sure things ran smoothly and her wise reminders leading up to the wedding and on the day-of was so great!

Everyone at the Addison was professional and hard-working. Grace helped me coordinate, and we can not say enough amazing things about her. She really went out of her way to help us with everything and helped to make the planning process easy. We are so grateful for everything she and the rest of the staff, did for us to help plan our wedding and on the actual wedding day. The bridal concierge was also amazing and so helpful on the big day, I was so happy she was there. The food is amazing, I still have people raving to me about the food 2+ months later.

Grace- Thank you for making our wedding day so special. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out and could not have done it without the expertise and professionalism of both you and your entire staff. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue is and how great the food was. Thanks for making our day unforgettable!

We got our fairytale wedding thanks to the awesome team at The Addison! Our coordinator, Helene, was amazing from the start. This was the first of several venues we looked at and she gave us so many tips and tricks that we knew we had to book with her in the end. Leading up to the wedding we also had the pleasure of working with other team members Jessica and Allison who were so helpful and professional.

We had our tasting in January that was perfectly executed and we were able to talk with the chef about what choices he recommended for dinner and cocktail hour.

The day before the big day (for the rehearsal) Helene got all our ducks in a row and helped us figure where we were supposed to be and who was doing what.

During the actual day we had our awesome concierge Aliya who was an absolute gem! Thanks to her my groom and I got to enjoy our hors d'oeuvres alone and then also enjoy the delicious dinner during our reception (we were told by so many this wouldn't happen).

I could go on and on about how great everything was with The Addison, but I'll sum it up to this: professional service, beautiful location for a wedding and delicious food!

Talk to Helene before you book anywhere else in South Florida.

For our destination wedding, I am very glad we chose the Addison as our primary venue .
As soon as you get in, the courtyard teleports you to a different world. Getting hitched between the banyan trees in front of the fountain was simply magical. The venue’s architecture offers gorgeous views for photos.
The venue also offers enough space and secondary halls to house different events or ceremony. We utilized one of the room for kids and baby sitters.
The foods were great and they offer different cuisine and huge menu selection to choose from.
A special shout out to Grace(our coordinator) who was extremely cooperative and made our planning remotely from Minnesota very convenient. All the staffs were helpful and made us feel very special during the event. The manager for the night, Max simply handled all the request smoothly. Having toured 5 venues for our special day,we could not have chosen a better venue.
All our guests were simply in awe by the beauty of Addison and still comment highly about their food and services.

Huge shout out to this entire team for the unmatched service they provided. After reschedule our wedding from 2021 to 2023, Grace and team were very courteous and accommodating in getting us moved to a new date. Over the last year and half, Grace was incredibly responsive and helpful in every way should could be.

The venue staff last week was hands down the most amazing I have ever seen. The entire event went on without a hitch and our guests cannot stop talking about it. The food, the ambiance, this place really is top notch. Another shout out to my bridal concierge, Jennifer, who was there to help me the entire night.

I would have my wedding here over and over again if I could. Thank you so much to the team for truly the best day we have ever had.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding at The Addison in February and WOW – what an unforgettable experience. As we reminisce on the process, we are so grateful that we chose The Addison. The venue itself is beautiful and historic and makes for great pictures. We worked with Helene who now feels like family. She is funny, instills well-deserved confidence, handled our large wedding party very well and made the entire planning process simple. We have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the food. It was delicious, served hot, and all came out at the exact same time (which is unusual based on many other weddings we’ve attended). They take orders at the table which is amazing – guests can request the temperate of their meat and makes planning easier to not need to collect food orders beforehand.

What was so unique was the ratio of Addison staff to guests. The value of The Addison is unmatched in our opinion. Having Helene support us throughout the process, our bridal concierge Aliyha (sorry if I’ve misspelled this) who was incredible the day-of, and the event manager – they are providing a service that you would typically only get through a wedding planner. The Addison was our best decision throughout the process. If you are considering, just do it and be happy you have this amazing event still ahead of you (we wish we could relive it).

Working with the Addison to plan my daughter’s wedding was a pleasure. We had a little over a year to plan the event, and from the moment I contacted them, I knew we were in good hands. They got back to me right away, and we were able to schedule an appointment to go over the venue and the nature of the services they provide. Our first impression was positive and made a huge impact in why we chose them. Of course, the natural beauty of the site and the architecture made it a wonderful choice for a wedding, but the choice to have the wedding at the Addison had a lot to do with other factors such as my perception that they would provide a well-executed and elevated experience. In contrast, when I contacted certain other venues, it took at least a week for some of them to even email me back to begin the conversation, and scheduling the tours was challenging. With the Addison, I felt as though we could rely on them to take the job seriously.

The manager we worked with was Grace who was incredibly patient with us and guided us through the entire process. As a person who values organization, time management, and kindness, I cannot say enough about how thoroughly Grace embodied the perfect person for me to work with in organizing the wedding. She provided us with guidance as we made decisions about what we were planning, and recommended certain outside vendors that have worked at the Addison on a regular basis who had an excellent track record. We went with these vendors, and they all performed spectacularly. There is a certain rhythm to their operations, and the outside vendors know exactly when to arrive, the layout of the facility, and how long the jobs will take, so the ultimate result is a well-orchestrated event. She also knew just what questions to ask and gave us excellent advice.

For the actual wedding ceremony, we were tremendously impressed by the behind-the-scenes organization of our pre-wedding arrival, the procession, and the way they helped us with the timing of when to walk and where to stand. All our items such as place cards, photos, and guest book were laid out beautifully. The facility itself was clean and tidy, and all of our instructions were followed. The wedding went flawlessly. When it came time for the cocktail reception, dinner, and dancing, we were highly pleased with the service and the deliciousness of the food. Everyone commented on the quality of the food, and we had some serious foodies in our party. Standouts amongst the hors d’oeuvres included the lamb lollipops and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. Also our sushi boat was a huge hit. At dinner, we also heard positive feedback on the lamb and the Chilean sea bass. When it was time to leave, everything was extremely organized, and they provided assistance in helping us to take all of our personal items and gifts.

All in all, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and unreservedly recommend the Addison for your next event.

We celebrated our wedding at the Addison in November and had the BEST experience from our initial venue tour with Helene, through to wedding day with Ashley who worked as our event coordinator. We fell in love with the banyan trees in the courtyard and the helpful staff just made the Addison the best choice for us. The food and service was amazing. Our guests had an awesome and could not stop bragging about the place. Already looking for another reason to have another event at the Addison!

Best night of our lives at the most beautiful venue. We were looking for an "old world" feel for a venue, and as soon as we stepped foot in this venue we knew it was right for us. Not only is the place absolutely gorgeous, but the food was incredible. We had guests telling us after the wedding how memorable the sea bass and filet mignon were because they were so delicious. We had our ceremony between the trees outside and our reception in the main dining hall, and the whole day ran so smoothly. The Addison describes themselves as a "well-oiled machine" and we got to see this in action on our wedding day - it was completely seamless. I highly recommend this venue as they will ensure you have a perfect night!

TOOK MY BREATH AWAY! From the moment I walked into the courtyard of the Addison I knew I found my dream wedding venue. Grace O'Bear from The Addison took my dream wedding vision and brought it into a magical life. I knew it was going to be beautiful but it went so far beyond my expectations. I don't think there could have been anything that would have made it any more perfect than it was. They knocked it out of the park! Everything was seamless and pure perfection! Their attention to placing all my little details was executed perfectly. Grace and her team were beyond incredible!

I feel like we put together the perfect dream team for our wedding. From our officiant Reverend Calerin, Steve our incredible photographer from Michelle Lawson Photography, Bryan our amazing DJ from Customer DJ Services and Nick from Daniel Events. They all worked together like a perfect symphony giving life to our special day.

Let's touch on the food! OMG!! Everyone one of my guests (not just a few, but everyone!) was raving about the food! The food was absolutely decadent and over the top! The appetizers were incredible but the dinner!! The comments I kept hearing (during the wedding and even days after) was best food they ever had at a wedding. We offered the NY Strip, Seabass and Veal Chop. Again, beyond expectations!

So if you take anything away from this review, take this...If you want a perfect, seamless, beautiful event, put your special day in The Addison’s hands. Thank you Grace for making our wedding day the best day of our life!

A dream wedding, beloved by all attendees. Their level of professionalism and service is incredible.

We are from the Orlando area, and we just could not find a venue that met our needs. We didn't want to have our wedding at a hotel or country club so that made our options very slim. Since we didn't find anything close to home we decided to venture further south. We found three venues to take a look at in South Florida and The Addison was one of them. The Addison was our first stop on our South Florida tour and from the moment we walked in the venue we almost decided to stop looking right then and there because the courtyard and Banyan trees were just amazing. It was the first time my fiancée was actually audibly impressed at a venue. After arriving, we met with Grace, who was very pleasant, and she walked us through the venue and explained the venue's process and pricing and was very knowledgeable about weddings in general. It was great talking with her and later when we booked, she became our point of contact at the venue for the entire process. Grace was very responsive to all of my questions and was simply a pure professional through and through and a sweetheart to boot. It was such a pleasure working with her! From beginning to end I was confident that our wedding would go off without a hitch and it absolutely did because The Addison knows exactly what they are doing. As a matter of fact, let me count the ways: Staff- AWESOME! They were super professional and efficient. Shout out to our Day of Wedding attendant, she kept us cool, calm and collected and kept the drinks and food coming, she had a beautiful personality and was a wonderful addition to our wedding day fun! Food- DELICIOUS! Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. I was too amped up to eat all of my dinner but our attendant boxed up our leftovers and even threw in our late nite snacks so we could enjoy the next day. (And enjoy we did!) The dessert table was fantastic and a big win for everyone. Venue- Absolutely gorgeous! We loved the courtyard so much we booked the whole venue so we could have our ceremony and dinner outside, al fresco, and it was perfect! The bistro lighting and courtyard lighting was very complimentary to the autumn garden vibe we were going for and gave everything a great glow. Rentals- I am a woman of details and The Addison was instrumental in having a wide range of rentals available from plating to linen and chairs to help me bring my vision alive. Allison was so helpful in their showroom when it came to picking out items, changing them and finalizing the overall look. We did have a last-minute snafu with availability of an item I had chosen but Grace and Allison were available every step of the way to help me manage the issue and we ended up with a great alternative choice. Collaboration- The Addison has a great preferred vendors list and most of my vendors were from that list. The Addison worked so well with my vendors, even the handful that were not from their list. With the help of my Month of Coordinator (also recommended by The Addison), everyone was able to do their jobs in a great environment without issue and made our wedding a dream come true. If you're looking for a beautiful venue that has unique character, professional and amazing staff and great food for your wedding... The Addison is where it is at. It was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how completely perfect our wedding was there

Our experience with the Addison was everything we could have hoped for! They truly helped us make our wedding day feel like our own. Our coordinator Grace was there every step of the way and always provided a prompt answer to all of our questions. Our day of assistant Jennifer made our night - it wouldn’t have been the same without her. The vendor team the Addison helped us make the day perfect, and everything ran so smoothly the day of. Our guests are still raving about the venue, food, and experience. It was the perfect place to get married!

We just held our wedding at the Addison and everything was amazing. From our first introduction all the way through the wedding, Jessica and the team had outstanding service and made our night incredible. The venue was beautiful and the food was delicious. During the event we were in awe of the attention and service we received, along with our family and guests. Not only did we have a great time, but we received tons of great feedback from our guests on their experience as well. We absolutely would recommend the Addison for your wedding experience!!

Hands down the best venue in Florida! There is not enough worlds to describe the gratitude and overwhelming thanks I have to the Addison. Not only did everything run so smooth the day of but the months and weeks leading up to it my coordination was checking in and making sure I had everything for the days leading up to it. The food at the Addison is some of the best food you will get, not only that but with its charming and aesthetically beautiful outside your wedding is hands down will be one people will talk about. Our coordinator Cindy, was one of the nicest and most helpful people there and would highly recommend using her. Overall, I would have a wedding there again in a heart beat and it beats out most of the other Venues I visited in Florida. All I say is go and check it out and promise you, you will be booking your next event there!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Helene as our wedding planner through The Addison. Helene made herself available to help with ALL of our wedding needs. There was never a time where she didn’t provide insight or guidance when asked. Her no-nonsense personality and quick wit put us at ease during the days leading up to the wedding. 10/10 would recommend Helene for any and all things wedding related.

ALSO - shout out to the entire Addison team for pulling off another flawless wedding. Staff was EXTREMELY attentive and friendly. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen helpers… I still have guests texting me about how good the food was. BEST SEABASS I HAVE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Where to start!? The Addison is hands down the best wedding venue and we're so excited that it was ours! In addition from the venue being gorgeous with the baynan trees, the service and food was delicious. We were so fortunate to have worked with Helene throughout our process and she made our wedding planning process 1000% better than imagined. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her. The night couldn't have went any better and we hope we're back for another wedding soon! We would love to eat that Sea-bass again soon! If you're debating if you should book The Addison, I am a super type A person and I advise you to book it immediately!

The most BEAUTIFUL venue! This was the most unique and perfect wedding venue we had ever seen and was an absolute dream on our wedding day. All of our family and friends were over the moon with how great the food was, the entire venue, and just how well everything went the whole night. Every snack, meal, and drink from cocktail hour to late night snacks was amazing.

From the very beginning, Jessica was so welcoming and such a pleasure to work with! She had been so helpful over the past year with all of our questions, advice, and patience while we planned our wedding. My husband's favorite part was how excellent the food was and I fell in love with the ceremony and main reception area for our wedding. The total package for a venue!

Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jessica and her team! We also picked all of our vendors off The Addison's preferred vendors list, which was a HUGE help and we were thrilled with everyone we worked with!

HIGHLY recommend The Addison for any wedding, big or small! I am still dreaming and obsessing over our wedding and cannot wait to see all the photos from our day soon enough.
