The Addison

We are from the Orlando area, and we just could not find a venue that met our needs. We didn't want to have our wedding at a hotel or country club so that made our options very slim. Since we didn't find anything close to home we decided to venture further south. We found three venues to take a look at in South Florida and The Addison was one of them. The Addison was our first stop on our South Florida tour and from the moment we walked in the venue we almost decided to stop looking right then and there because the courtyard and Banyan trees were just amazing. It was the first time my fiancée was actually audibly impressed at a venue. After arriving, we met with Grace, who was very pleasant, and she walked us through the venue and explained the venue's process and pricing and was very knowledgeable about weddings in general. It was great talking with her and later when we booked, she became our point of contact at the venue for the entire process. Grace was very responsive to all of my questions and was simply a pure professional through and through and a sweetheart to boot. It was such a pleasure working with her! From beginning to end I was confident that our wedding would go off without a hitch and it absolutely did because The Addison knows exactly what they are doing. As a matter of fact, let me count the ways: Staff- AWESOME! They were super professional and efficient. Shout out to our Day of Wedding attendant, she kept us cool, calm and collected and kept the drinks and food coming, she had a beautiful personality and was a wonderful addition to our wedding day fun! Food- DELICIOUS! Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. I was too amped up to eat all of my dinner but our attendant boxed up our leftovers and even threw in our late nite snacks so we could enjoy the next day. (And enjoy we did!) The dessert table was fantastic and a big win for everyone. Venue- Absolutely gorgeous! We loved the courtyard so much we booked the whole venue so we could have our ceremony and dinner outside, al fresco, and it was perfect! The bistro lighting and courtyard lighting was very complimentary to the autumn garden vibe we were going for and gave everything a great glow. Rentals- I am a woman of details and The Addison was instrumental in having a wide range of rentals available from plating to linen and chairs to help me bring my vision alive. Allison was so helpful in their showroom when it came to picking out items, changing them and finalizing the overall look. We did have a last-minute snafu with availability of an item I had chosen but Grace and Allison were available every step of the way to help me manage the issue and we ended up with a great alternative choice. Collaboration- The Addison has a great preferred vendors list and most of my vendors were from that list. The Addison worked so well with my vendors, even the handful that were not from their list. With the help of my Month of Coordinator (also recommended by The Addison), everyone was able to do their jobs in a great environment without issue and made our wedding a dream come true. If you're looking for a beautiful venue that has unique character, professional and amazing staff and great food for your wedding... The Addison is where it is at. It was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how completely perfect our wedding was there
