Absolute Dream Wedding
In the search for the perfect venue my fiancé and I looked at over 26 possible locations from Homestead all the way up to Boca Ratón. Once we saw the Colonnade we searched no further. It’s an amazingly beautiful, historic, elegant, and well-located venue with the most unbelievable staff. Every single encounter we had from the valet to the servers, to the event coordinators were all exceptional. Their level of service and care to ensure a perfect event is executed was noteworthy even by our guests who commented that they had never received such good table service at a wedding before. The front desk and concierge was incredibly helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond at every encounter. The food was delicious and the quality of the wine and champagne was excellent. Although not a low-budget venue, every penny spent was well worth the money as the wedding was beyond anything we hoped for or imagined.

Amazing experience!
I cannot say enough on how beautiful this venue was. This was always y dream venue and Shelley made it happen for me. My original wedding venue cancelled on me 3 months prior to my date and I went the same day to see the Colonnade and Shelley greeted me with open arms. She made everything so easy and seamless and answered any questions I have. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was super supportive of us. The venue itself is amazing and unique but the staff made it that much better. Working with Shelley & The Colonnade really was the dream. Everyone raved about the Hors D’oeuvre's and entrees and the signature drinks were delicious. It truly was amazing!

Highly recommend for a stunning wedding reception
We got off to a bit of a rough start with the Colonnade in the early stages of our wedding planning. They gave away our wedding date to another couple after having promised it to us. The date blunder caused a lot of unnecessary stress, rearranging and re-booking other vendors, tears, and delays in planning. However, we were obsessed with the look of the venue and everything they had to offer, so we wanted to stick it out. Patricia ensured us that we wouldn’t regret it and that they’d be sure to make up for it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what happened. Everything after that was INCREDIBLE. The food was the best I’ve ever had at a wedding, and there was A LOT of it. Also, my husband and I are wine snobs and their house wine and champagne are actually amazing. Our tasting with our family, every single tiny detail leading up to the day of and on the day of our wedding, was executed flawlessly and with exceptional customer service. They allowed us to do specialty his and hers cocktails, and we added late night bites as well, which were both a fun treat that all our guests enjoyed. They also partner with excellent vendors who all have years of experience with weddings there, so the set up and teamwork among vendors was so smooth. I will say we had a few small difficulties with our room block, but anytime I called Lyn Perdono or Kathleen Bravo they were so kind and helpful and fixed any issue or request of mine right away. In our personal opinion the Hotel Colonnade is without a doubt the most stunning wedding venue in Miami, especially if you want an inside wedding like we did, because… Florida. The customer service was unparalleled. And as the bride and groom, while we stayed at the hotel the majority of the week of the wedding, they treated us like royalty. No employee would let us pass by without introducing themselves, congratulating us, and asking what they could do for us. Additionally, on Sunday after the wedding, my husband and I took forever to check out of our suite due to the fun chaos of the weekend, and the Colonnade was unbelievably patient with us and so helpful and accommodating, I don’t think we managed to get all our stuff out until after 3pm. I would highly recommend anyone to book their wedding reception here, you won’t regret it.

My dream wedding!
My wedding was this Saturday April 13th at the Hotel Colonnade. Patricia went above and beyond to help me stay in my budget and be able to achieve my perfect wedding. The attention to detail, the staff at the hotel was beyond excellent. We had half of our guests coming from Mexico City and the other traveling all over the US. The hotel made all of us truly feel relaxed and happy, every request we had there was never a no. I would do it all over again in a heart beat; we have been to many hotels in Miami but the Colonnade is exceptional. Thank you so much for everything.

A Beautiful and Unique Venue in Miami - Highly Recommend!
Hotel Colonnade was the most perfect venue and I’m so glad my wedding day was spent here! Patricia was beyond helpful and so sweet during our entire planning process. This was the first wedding in our family so we had tons of questions, and she was so patience and helped answered every single one of them. The venue is so gorgeous and my guests have no stopped complimenting how amazing it was! It’s so convenient especially if you have out of town guests even it’s a hotel. What sold me on this venue was the room itself (rotunda) is so unique that there really isn’t another venue like it. It fit our entire family and friends (155) comfortably! If you are looking for a unique indoor venue in Miami I highly recommend this one!

Alexandra & Omar wedding 12/15/18
We had our wedding at hotel Colonnade and it was beautiful! Patricia, the coordinator at Hotel Colonnade, was wonderful to work with!! I met with her a few times and other times by phone or email, and she was at the wedding to make sure everything was going well. She answered all my questions and helped me plan the wedding of my dreams! I originally wanted an outdoor reception on the terrace but she put my mind at ease by having a backup plan available inside in case of rain. I ended up doing it inside and was so glad I did! It looked so romantic, cozy and beautiful! It was perfect! The food was delicious. The cake tasting was also a nice experience and the chef and waiter were great! The bridal suite was spectacular and we loved the note patricia left us in the room with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries! It's all in the details. The venue and service was excellent!!
