Absolutely AMAZING!
The Venue Fort Lauderdale exceeded our expectations for our 11/20/2020 wedding at every level! Brett & Roby took over our event 5 weeks out & the space was breathtaking. Not going to lie, I was that bride who had a hard time explaining what I liked & I have no creative mind for design which can be difficult for organizing a huge event but.. THEY ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT! From their amazing lighting & sound system to their attention to detail & ability to collaborate with our vendors, it was flawless. Everyone loved the cocktail hour & reception food.. it was truly top notch & delicious! Drinks flowed all night & the service was impeccable! I thought after our ceremony my tears were done, but as they brought us into the ballroom for a peek during cocktail hour I was speechless. Both Roby & Brett checked on us all night to ensure we had everything we needed which made both of our families feel like royalty. Anything we might have needed, they delivered with an even more special touch! We can not thank you two enough for the best night of our lives & we can’t wait to work with you again in the future!
