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.
