Worth every penny

Parties By Pat @ Crandon Golf Key Biscayne was an incredible wedding experience for us. From beginning to end, Violet, the event manager was accessible, attentive and offered personal suggestions based on our vision and personalities. We got married in March 2022 with 150 people with a "Tropical Elegance and Garden Formal theme" . We had the ceremony on the golf course, dance floor outside + upstairs under the twinkle lights, buffet dinner inside the restaurant, and an awesome lounge area on the bottom platform. The day of staff were notably experienced and passionate about making sure my husband and I were comfortable all night. From the moment we entered our party, they were waiting to take our drink order and during dinner had our plates ready at our sweetheart table cut up into bite size pieces. I could go on, and on about all the amazing touches Parties By Pat added, but the biggest for me were trust and peace of mind knowing their team was going to deliver. I havent even begun talking about the food quality or taste yet. If you're a foodie and want your guests to remember a delicious wedding, then definitely look no further. I am still dreaming about the food options we had, and they even made a special menu for the amount of vegan/gluten-free requirements we had for a number of our guests. All of our bridal party pix on the golf course during sunset ceremony came out stunning and our portrait photos along the bay and Miami skyline were perfection. Being able to use one of the golf carts to ride off into the sunset for our pix was fun and helped enhance our experience as well. Because we were the only ones at the venue and were isolated on Key Biscayne we didn't have to worry about noise levels, parking availability or competing with other parties for attention. It is easy to understand why Parties By Pat have been so successful for 20+ years! Lastly, I want to thank Violet again for her suggestion to have "to-go" Krispy Kremes at the end of the night before we got back on our shuttle busses for the hotel. It was a hit. Our vision was exceeded, I'm still floating in gratitude and amazement at how well everything turned out, and our friends and family are still talking about the venue, food, bar menu and dessert station.

Miracle workers

The company directors Violet and Jose are the ultimate professionals and thanks to their effort, diligence and ability to quickly reorient we were able to have the wedding of our dreams.
The weather was horrendous to have our ceremony on the beach across the street from Crandon Golf Club and literally last minute they together with decorator Myrna from Taylor Event & Floral Design reorganized and moved all the extensive decor, chairs and handled guests on their premises at the golf course.
By the time I arrived I couldn’t believe the beauty and organization - it looked like a dream.
The food was excellent, ambiance on the terrace and wait staff elegant.
They have a huge amount of experience, flexibility and options for decor to make virtually any vision possible!
We are grateful to have such a wonderful wedding put together and executed flawlessly in spite of difficulties.
Thanks guys!!

Ps. When hiring a decorator/ florist we initially made a mistake to go with a man named Alberto from Flowers Unlimited whom you should never hire under any circumstances. Always get Myrna- super pro and she also does complete wedding planning.

Exceptional food and service!!

Parties by Pat provided the highest quality service and food for our wedding! Our guests even had seconds. The buffet was set up so nice, the guests loved the option of high quality sides and meats to choose from. The servers did a great job in assisting guests as well I recommend them to anyone needing catering, and of course we recommend the Crandon Golf Course at Key Biscayne.

Fantastic Caterers!

Amazing caterers. Violet was very professional, prompt, and organized in the entire planning process. The catering team was phenomenal. Food was excellent and cooked to the perfect temperature. Staff was very welcoming, approachable, and all around great service. They exceeded our expectations and made our rehearsal dinner a huge hit. We are still hearing from guests that the quality of food and service was beyond amazing.

Best food and service, hands down!

Don’t sleep on this caterer. Jose and Nancy went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with each detail of our wedding. They addressed every concern and quickly responded to every email and phone call we made every step of the way. Every single guest had nothing but raving reviews about the food, which was to die for! I will have them in mind for any big party I ever throw together.

Let me start with saying BIG THANK YOU to Violet and Jose for making our wedding day perfect. Their attention to details and experienced recommendations blew us away. Violet’s hands on guidance made all the difference. They very personable and very accommodating. We had a lot of requests and they attended every single one of them and were not shy to go all out. We had a lot of concerns especially with the weather but they did a great job at putting us at ease.
The place was intimate, charming, and very picturesque.
The food was Mischelin top quality. Our guests could not stop talking about the presentation and deliciousness of it.
The servers and bartenders made sure there were no empty glasses at any time.
Extra special thank you to Violet for always being there and treating us like family. Because of Violet neither us or our guests will ever forget our wedding. AMAZING!!!
