A Magical Evening at The Cruz Building

My son and his wife decided to hold their wedding at The Cruz Building. This was a destination wedding since guests came from all over the country, but mainly Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of The Cruz. Many have remarked that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended. Since the weather was very cooperative, we were able to make great use of the outdoor area on the 3rd level. There are 3 floors and each level is different and equally wonderful. We worked very closely with Gladys and she was so pleasant and helped us work out details and gave us helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend this venue.

Beautiful and Effective!

I LOVED having my wedding here! It’s the most beautiful and interesting venue that I know of in Miami. We looked at so many others for the same price that weren’t half as impressive. Every conversation I had with a wedding guest began with them telling me how gorgeous the venue was. And it offers such unique experiences- walking down the stairs for a show stopping bridal entrance, dinner booths, moving floors, great photo backdrops. They have a comfortable bridal suite and it was so fun to hang out there all day. And the guests loved being able to walk there from their hotels and to walk to bars afterward! (No bus needed). Also- the venue is so gorgeous you can save money on decorations! We went super light with flowers, lighting and decorations and it was perfect. You might even save money in the long run depending on how much you’d need to dress up other venues.

They also make everything SO easy. The manager Gladys is responsive, understanding and helpful. They have a package deal with excellent vendors (the same ones you’d probably end up hiring at any venue) and it makes planning 1000% easier. (You can also save money because you don’t need a planner). My wedding ran SO smoothly and timely (also a testament to the vendors). I really can’t say enough good things about it. 100/10 would do again in a heartbeat!

Wow!!! Amazing

The minute my now husband and I walked in, our search was over!! There’s really no other venue like The Cruz building in SoFL. Elegant, Romantic and Unique. The staff were equally as amazing. I would recommend anyone to go take a tour, and I’m sure they would fall in love just like we did.

Our dream rock and roll wedding!

The Cruz building staff was top notch. Gladys went out of her way to encourage and inspire the process. The building is beautiful to begin with but they made every effort to pull off our vision. Could not recommend the venue or the staff more.

Great wedding experience

The Cruz Building is beautiful, no additional decorations needed other than flowers and some tea light candles. The building was clean and well kept up. We had the wedding for our daughter and it just was a perfect setting for the type of wedding she was looking for. i recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding that is gothic, romantic, intimate, perfect setting. The location was great as well plenty of hotels and places to eat, shop, explore etc.
