I don’t have enough words to thank Aileen Roxane Villar, the Venue Manager for Joy Wallace, in charge of Douglas Entrance the Venue. Everything was beyond my dreams. The food was spectacular. There is not one guest that didn’t say that. The staff blew my mind, their kindness and how they always had a smile on their faced made Us and our Guests feel welcome.

She is very professional, easy to work with and was so patient throughout all the planning and executing. Always willing to help and explain everything to us as many times as needed. She worked with our wedding planner, and both, with their magnificent staff, put together something magical.

Douglas Entrance is a gorgeous venue and was the perfect backdrop to our event. It is truly a hidden gem in Coral Gables!

From my first interaction with the A Joy Wallace team, the Douglas Entrance venue stood out far beyond all others I was considering for our wedding. The venue manager, Aileen, was quick to respond to my initial request for information and offered transparent pricing options for different packages. I fell in love with this historic venue after my first tour, and was fortunate enough to work with such an organized and reliable team, led by Aileen, to plan our wedding in very short (4 months) notice.

They were exceptionally patient and adaptable, accommodating almost all of my “untraditional” requests for a very Venezuelan wedding. I was so happy with the food on the day of our tasting, and it was even better the day of. Execution was flawless from beginning to end, which I never doubted for a moment before the wedding. I always felt full confidence in the team, which is extremely prepared, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you for bringing my vision to life and for a spectacular night we will never forget!

It’s a beautiful venue. Historic, glamorous and regal.

Douglas Entrance is the place to have your next event. We had our wedding there, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is all I'm going to say.
The building is historic and its beauty is beyond words. Raul was awesome, very accommodating and helpful. He did all that was possible to make our day special.
I couldn't think of another venue to have our wedding, the pictures came out so amazing!

Beautiful venue. Such a unique spot in Coral Gables that hasn't been too over done. With the right lighting, the room looks gorgeous in the evening. Raul, the ballroom manager, is awesome to work with and was very accessible. No last minute surprises.

I found this venue while skimming through a magazine. Thankfully they were available on short notice. They had recently renovated and spruced up everything allowing for spectacular pictures and a picturesque venue. The outdoor fountain was beautifully lit! Their pricing was ridiculously amazing, especially when you compared it to hotel reception rooms and places like vizcaya. Douglas Entrance was the perfect location completing my dreams of a romantic, classic and ethereal wedding!

Douglas Entrance is such a gorgeous venue. So elegant and and historic, it was the perfect venue choice for our reception.

Douglas Entrance is a beautiful ballroom. I loved having my reception here. Our cocktail was outside by the fountain (which is gorgeously lit up and plays music if you provide a cd) just as the sun was setting. Then guests went up the beautiful stone staircase, which feels like you are in a castle, to the reception which has a gorgeous ceiling.

Raul is the contact person and he is wonderful to work with, very nice and accommodating.

Great location....lots of character and various spaces to accommodate in and outdoor events.

We had our wedding at the Douglas Entrance and it was amazing. Their pricing varies depending on the month and time of year. So be sure to get the price for the specific weekend/day you are interested in. Raul was always very quick to call you back and give you whatever information you need. The space is huge and unique. The ceiling is gorgeous. The layout is perfect. The fountain outside is beautiful at night! So many beautiful spots to take pictures! Best part is that you have the entire location to yourself. You don't have to worry about sharing the space with another wedding. Parking is included and there is plenty of space.
