Elegant, Chic, & Truly Unforgettable

We truly could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding weekend than The Palms Hotel & Spa. The property is absolutely stunning - elegant, warm, tropical, and incredibly welcoming - and our guests are still talking about how special the entire experience felt.

The biggest thank you goes to Nataly, who was nothing short of amazing throughout this entire process. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, professionalism, and calm presence made such a difference from start to finish. The week of the wedding especially, she handled countless moving parts and requests coming from every angle with so much grace and kindness, while somehow making everything feel seamless.

You can truly feel how much care this team puts into creating memorable experiences, and we are so grateful for all of the special touches that made our wedding weekend unforgettable. We’ll forever look back on our time at The Palms so fondly. 🤍

AMAZING experience from start to finish!

Wedding planning felt completely seamless thanks to Nataly and the team at The Palms Hotel & Spa. From the very beginning, Nataly was incredibly attentive, responsive, and organized - even with multiple weddings happening every weekend at the property.

They provided every detail we needed upfront, and their preferred vendor list and thoughtfully designed wedding packages made the entire process feel so digestible and stress-free. Everything was clear, streamlined, and easy to navigate, which made a huge difference throughout planning.

Beyond the process, the property itself is absolutely spectacular. The setting created the perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience with our friends and family. Our guests are still raving about how special and beautiful everything was.

We cannot recommend The Palms enough - it was everything we hoped for and more!

Beautiful venue and excellent service

The Palms was the perfect LGBT friendly venue for us. The in-house coordinator Nataly was on top of the planning process from start to finish, helping us with our vendors and on the day of the wedding. The whole setup for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was close together but felt very expansive. It looked beautiful. The food was really incredible, especially by wedding standards. We highly recommend getting appetizers for cocktail hour. They were great! Overall our wedding at The Palms was easy to plan and super enjoyable.

Absolutely Amazing

We had our wedding at The Palms Hotel & Spa, and it was truly perfect from start to finish. From the moment we began planning to the very last song of the night, the entire experience exceeded every expectation.

Vanessa was absolutely exceptional—she guided us through every step with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. She made the planning process feel seamless and stress-free, and we always felt supported, heard, and in the best hands possible.

The staff across the board were outstanding—attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. The food was phenomenal (our guests are still talking about it), the drinks were amazing, and the service was truly next level. Every detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our day.

If you’re considering The Palms for a wedding or special event, don’t hesitate. It’s a stunning venue with an incredible team that delivers an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives.

Wonderful wedding experience

When we chose the Palms Hotel for our wedding venue, I only knew that I loved the location and outdoor gardens, gazebo, and deck. What I did not know was the exceptional care and service that both Nataly and Vanessa provided before the wedding (so many details), and during the very special day. Both were so patient and helpful. Also, on our wedding day, the entire staff was so friendly, positive, and attentive to each guest. I received so many compliments about them. Make sure you choose a coordinator to help the day of the wedding. It made all the difference. Thanks to everyone at the Palms Hotel and Spa. An unforgettable day.

Perfect location for our big day!

We had stayed at The Palms several times before booking the location for our wedding and it was the perfect venue for our event. Nataly and the event staff were so responsive to all of my questions and helped me design exactly what I envisioned for our wedding day. The variety of location options for the ceremony, cocktails, and reception made for a great experience for our guests and provided a perfect backdrop. The food was delicious and their ability to accommodate my many allergies seamlessly helped make the day easy for me. The day of the wedding went very smoothly with the professional guidance of Nataly and our guests had a great time. Many of our guests also commented on how much they enjoyed the newly renovated hotel! I would highly recommend The Palms- a beautiful location and their expertise in weddings shows!

Fantastic in every detail

We had our wedding at The Palms Hotel & Spa, and the entire experience was extraordinary from the very first meeting to the moment the last guest left. Planning a wedding involves countless moving pieces, and The Palms team handled every single one with remarkable flexibility, grace, and professionalism. They were always accommodating and always attentive, something you only truly appreciate once you are in the middle of planning a real wedding.

They guided us through everything: the layout, the placements, the flow of the event, the timeline, and all the small but crucial details you never imagine even exist until you begin planning a wedding. Every request was welcomed, every idea was heard, and every change was handled without hesitation. It felt like having a team fully committed to making our day exactly what we envisioned.

A very special thank-you goes to Vanessa and Nataly. Their kindness and patience stood out from day one. They were not only professional but genuinely invested in making our wedding perfect. They anticipated needs, offered smart, thoughtful suggestions, and kept us calm and confident throughout a process that can easily become overwhelming. Their support on the wedding day itself was exceptional — precise, organized, reassuring, and always present without ever being intrusive.

Our families and guests noticed the difference. Everyone commented on the beautiful setting, the seamless flow of the evening, the excellent service, and the warm atmosphere the staff created. We felt cared for, respected, and celebrated — not just as clients, but as people experiencing one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

We are truly grateful to The Palms for helping us bring our vision to life. If you are looking for a venue that combines beauty, exceptional service, and a team that genuinely cares, we recommend The Palms Hotel & Spa without hesitation. They made our wedding unforgettable in every sense.

Purely Paradise!

Where do I even begin?! The Palms Hotel & Spa has always been one of my favorite places to stay in Miami Beach, so choosing it as our wedding venue was a total no-brainer. It’s the epitome of laid-back luxury with the most stunning tropical backdrop — absolutely picture-perfect.

From day one, the staff went above and beyond. Vanessa was an absolute superstar! She kept every detail organized, communicated flawlessly, and made planning feel simple, smooth, and completely stress-free. The service across the board is ALWAYS 10/10 — whether you’re a hotel guest or there for a wedding, every single team member provides warm, genuine, heartfelt hospitality. Honestly, I’d put this team up against anyone in the industry!

And the food… WOW. People are still raving about it! Each course was beautifully presented and full of flavor — every bite felt like a “moment.” It truly elevated the entire night.

The Palms is beautiful, welcoming, and unpretentious, with thoughtful touches everywhere you look. Having stayed here about 10 times over the years, it already felt like paradise — but hosting our wedding here took it to the next level. If you’re looking for a venue that nails both service and ambience, THIS is the place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
