This is the best venue ever

I just got married in Briza on the Bay last Friday (July 5th 2024) and it was the most amazing wedding ever. Nelly and her team were absolutely incredible. Everything was spectacular, all of our guests LOVED this place, the view by the ocean, the cóctel hour was outside and we had the sunset and EVERYONE told us the food and drinks were AMAZING. We are so blessed we found this beautiful place. Nelly was always so responsive and nice, her staff did an amazing job. We did our religious ceremony, cóctel hour and reception in Briza, and it was DREAMY! We had it all in once place, if you are a Bride to Be this is your best option, believe me you won’t want to have a dozen of vendors, in Briza they take care of the majority, seating, food, drinks, wedding cake, and so much more, and the quality of everything is A+. I highly recommend this place and trust me YOU NEED NELLY, she is a sweetheart and a rockstar. Thanks for everything! I will remember this day forever!! We had the best day of our lives!

Wonderful Pre-Wedding Venue

We had a wonderful experience for our Welcome party prior to our son’s wedding at Briza on the Bay. Gerry was excellent in helping to put together our package and Nelly was wonderful at executing the details for the event. Gerry was able to work with us regarding the pricing and he, Nelly, and all the staff were professional, accommodating, and personable with them working to make our event truly memorable. The venue was beautifully set up and able to accommodate all of our guests. All the staff went above and beyond to make the party truly special and we were also thrilled that the weather was beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue for any party.

We love Nelly!

These guys are great! Between Nelly's amazingly attentive and warm support throughout the whole process and the food (shoutout to the paella), we could not have been more greatful.

Beautiful Waterfront Miami Venue

My husband and I highly recommend Briza on the Bay for your wedding! We are a military family living about 10 hours away and Nelly, Harry, and the whole Briza Team were absolutely so easy to work with. Nelly and Harry are the best coordinators and they will make your wedding day feel at ease. Myself, my husband, and all of our guests felt that they were so sweet, efficient, and personable. The guests loved the food, the beautiful venue along the water, and the service. The location of this venue is perfect. It is right along the beautiful marina, walking distance to various hotels and Trinity Cathedral (where we had our religious ceremony), and also located near a hotel mall where all of our out of state guests were able to eat, drink, get their nails/hair done, and hang out. I can go on and on about how Briza on the Bay made our wedding day a dream! We HIGHLY recommend this venue and having Nelly (Nellysevent) be your next wedding coordinator.

Best Experience!

If you’re looking for a venue.. look no further than Briza on the bay. The food, the attention to detail, the all inclusive packages..it’s a one stop shop! It’s exactly what we were looking for. But what we ended up with was way more than we expected. From our first meeting with Jerry we were already in love. But when we met Harry at the tasting it was just pure magic.. literally..! We hit it off right away! His attention to detail and his willing to chat everyday at anytime day or night was unbelievable! I honestly could not have pulled off this wedding without him! Harry and his team were super at tentative to every single detail of my wedding! Even added some Disney magic (I’m a giant Disney fan but my fiancé is not)! This was a wedding dream come true and would recommend Briza 1000%! You will not regret it! ❤️

Could the Day have been more perfect!?!?!?!

We had the most perfect day & Harry & the Briza team made sure of it as he said he would!! Working with Harry was above and beyond my expectations, when the wedding party and guest rave about his attention given to us was the absolute cherry on top! Your guest will NOT be disappointed in the appetizers, main course, wedding cake or the libations(drinks)!! We ended up getting our cake from Eda’s cakes whose contracted with Briza’s package and even engaging with them was PERFECT!! As a bride, you have this vision of the day, I walked down the aisle in tears because it was an absolute dream!! When we renew our vows, I’d come back to Briza in a heartbeat!! The value and experience was well worth the price!

To the ENTIRE BRIZA team, thank you all for being professional, tentative and making the process convenient for this bride!! Harry & I are friends now forever…lol but, seriously he was our magician of the event, thank you!!! -the Linton’s

Just amazing Night!

Working with Briza for my wedding was such a great experience. My wedding day was EPIC! Working with Harry and his team, along with my wedding planner, Vanessa Hayward Events was magical. If there was issues, I assume they were taken care of, because all I did was smile and enjoy my night with my husband, friends and family. Excellent experience…. I want to re-live the night again and again!

Fantastic Waterfront Venue with Party Vibes

What a great choice of venue. First of all the location is amazing and the atmosphere is gorgeous once they set everything up. Secondly, everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive. We wanted a do-it-all venue since we didn't have a wedding planner and are a simpler couple. Our main focus was feeding people food and alcohol and having a fun party - mission accomplished! Harry was the all-star of the occassion and made the process seamless. He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were taken care of and made our families feel special. They took a lot of stress off of our plate, and for a very fair and reasonable price. Highly recommend Briza.
