Aqua Reception Hall Reviews

Jackie and the rest of the staff are awesome. They allow you to customize your package and welcome ideas to enhance the experience. It's a one stop shop with this company. The rates can't be beat in my opinion.

My husband and I got married here on 11/16/18. From the initial contact when inquiring about visiting the venue, Jackie and staff were very professional and welcoming. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to tie the knot! They are basically all-inclusive and have vendors that they work closely and cooperatively with, this takes an ABUNDANCE of wedding planning stress away. Seriously, this place was a dream come true! They made sure everything was taken care of and everything was delivered and done in a timely manner. Their attention to detail and ability to listen effectively and remember everything that you say, was exceptional. The decor was BEAUTIFUL! Very elegant, intimate, and personal, as you are allowed to choose everything exactly how you’d like it to be. And, most importantly I must not forget, AFFORDABLE! They will cater to every budget and still make you feel like a celebrity! When I say that Jackie and staff went ABOVE and BEYOND, they did just that. For example, I wanted to toss a different bouquet from my own, but forgot to bring it. In 5 minutes, they had went and made me one specifically for tossing so I had NOTHING to worry about that night. I will have event after event at Aqua Reception Hall, and HIGHLY recommend them for any celebration in your life!

I got married here last month and I can't say enough good things about this place!! Neither one of us live in Florida so this was a destination weddding for us where we needed some special accommodations and they were so helpful. Jackie went above and beyond!!! Even responding to urgent messages when she was out sick. No matter how many events she had going on she always made us and our concerns feel like a priority! The venue was amazing. If there is anything I would have done different it probably would be to use my own photographer instead of the one they provided as I didn't love how my pics came out. But other then that the food was good, the staff was excellent, and I was really able to have my dream wedding here! I totally recommend this place!!!

After looking into a few venues we decided that Aqua was our way to go. What we really liked about this venue was the courtesy and professionalism that they brought to the table. From getting our first appointment to our wedding, the Aqua team was able to make the whole process as smooth as possible. When we first met Samantha we were amazed by how knowledgeable she was of the industry and we liked how she was able to guide us in making our decisions the best ones. She was able to help us out in choosing what we needed for our venue, as well as what we would not be needing, based on our preferences. Claudia was very helpful in getting the flower arrangements we wanted. We were able to meet with her, and the way she was able to get our ideas and make it into beautiful flower arrangements was amazing, from the table decor, to the bouquet, we were in love with the whole design. Lina, who assisted us in getting our linen design and setup going, assisted us the night of the wedding. Lina was there throughout the whole night making sure everything was running smooth. Not only were Samantha, Claudia, and Lina the best of their business and what they do, but complete Aqua personnel were amazing. The waiters and waitresses of the night, as well as the security made sure we were accommodated in anything we needed, even when we had two last minute plate changes, and one last minute guest change, they were very understanding. As part of the entertainment packages they provided, we chose the photo booth, which all of our guests loved. The most exciting was the Hora Loca, provided by Black and Wine events, which were amazing. They had a man with stilts and a samba girl who brought a lot of party life to the venue. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed this part of the night and with the props we provided our guest were full of energy!!!
We want to thank everyone at the Aqua Reception Hall for making our wedding an amazing and unforgettable event.
Sincerely,
Dianis n Giordan

Aqua truly exceeded our expectations. We had a dream wedding. It is just unbelievable the value that we got for what we paid for.
All out guests were impressed.
Very thankful to Aqua for giving us a perfect wedding!

Aqua Reception Ball Room is one of a kind. When I was first looking for a place for my reception I wanted a place that looked modern, had a built in kitchen, good tasted great and the staff to be professional. This is what my husband and I got at Aqua, and much more. Lina, our decorator was with us from the very beginning. Jacqueline, one of the representatives goes above and beyond making sure your needs are catered, answering all your 200 questions via phone and or email. We also had Camilla, our wedding day coordinator, who may I add www pregnant at the time, and did not let that stop her. She was on top of everything, making sure our wedding ran smoothly and on time. My decorations were spectacular, all the extra things I brought were placed exactly how I wanted. I truly don’t have enough words to express the immense gratitude to ALL of the team members of the Aqua Reception Hall from the security guard to even the waiters, everyone made our wedding day one that I will never forget. THANK YOU!!!

One of the best vendor,team in town,thank you so much to yamilaimages for being,so patience and helpeful, and professional

My wife and I recently hosted our daughter’s 15’s at AQUA Reception Hall in the month of May. I am not one to write many reviews, however, I am taking the time to write on how beautiful this venue looked for our daughter’s quinces.
We found the venue on this web site, therefore, i find appropriate to place the review on here.
She wanted a Paris theme, and AQUA gave us more than what we expected. The staff starting with the sales associate(Samantha) to the general manager (Lina) and all the vendors, not only had the patience and professional courtesy to deal with us but made our daughters dreams a reality. The food was amazing and very tasteful. The venue went out their way to add some additional items which were not included. Thank you so very much. It’s the small details that make the difference. The music, lighting, decoration, photo booth, and staff were amazing. Our coordinator said we had nothing to worry about that evening, and that is exactly how it happened. My hat’s off to Lina and the rest the team at AQUA. All of our guest are still raving about our event.

My wife, Monica and I, recently held our wedding and reception this past Sunday April 17, 2016 at this elegant and beautiful venue. Words cannot describe the overall experience we had. AQUA, thank you for a memorable evening . The moment we walked in, we were greeted by their sales staff who treated us with professionalism and kindness. They listened to what we wanted for our wedding, reception and worked with our initial budget. As well all I know we start with a certain budget and then we start expanding from there :) Always keeping in mind, our vision, from the decor, to the tasting, to additional items we wanted which were not in our original package, to the to the final production, our wedding, was exactly what we dreamed off.
Our compliments to the chef for the delicious food served that evening. The waiting staff was extra courteous and attentive to our needs throughout the evening. The DJ had all of our guest dancing and played all sorts of music which our guest and us requested throughout the night. The Photobooth was a hit. Thank you AQUA for that suggestion, all of our guest loved it.
Our only small issue was the “hora loca” which came out 15 minutes late. But we still partied and had a great time.
Overall, our experience was magnificent and the quality that the venue delivers is top notch. I definitely would recommend this venue.

Very satisfied with the venue! Beautiful on the inside, once i saw it i knew that was it for my wedding venue. Lina was sooo sweet and all aqua staff so helpful, flexible, and patient. Loved the experience. Definetely reccommend. All the guests were very satisfied and impressed with the decor and ambiance of the reception hall. Food and appetizers were delicious! And the hora loca by black and wine was faboulous. Excellent experience.

My wedding is next year... but the service Lina and Christina offer is AWESOME!! they are incredible, professional and sweet, and they try to help you in everything they can. The place is beautiful. Really happy with the decision to rent this place for this special day.

My experience was incredible!!!....I recommend this place 100%.

Thank you, Lina and Claudia , for making my dream wedding come true. Aqua really came through for me on my special day. My guests were raving about everything, from the amazing appetizers and food to the quality service and the amazing special effects! It was a wonderful experience all around, the planning, the attention to detail, and the execution. Thank you to all the Aqua staff

After a long search, and seeing the wedding of my dreams fading away little by little. I came across this place because of my MOH. Once I walked in the venue is jaw dropping, very modern and everything I pictured I wanted in my wedding. Christina and her team and very helpful and sweet. They listened to what you want and really help you out so everything can come out nice. I can't wait for my wedding day!

I had my wedding in Aqua on April 18 2015 , I remember the day that I found Aqua after a long search because if you live in Miami you must know that finding a good and affordable place is not easy at all , the venues and hotels are really expensive and they just offer basic decorations. Aqua offers you a variety of amazing choices for all tastes. If you want to modify any detail, they will create something amazing out of your thought.
I remember that when I was on my way to meet the place for the first time I wasn't really sure because it was far away from my area, but after the place was showed to me I fell in love with I, on that day my now husband and I met LINA ESPITIA, she was super kind and willing to assist me in everything I needed, she and Christina created the wedding of my dreams.

I lived by my own in Miami with no family able to support me with every detail of my wedding, but Lina helped me with every detail of my wedding.

My guests, family and I were really happy about the wedding, they loved the hilarious decoration, they said that my wedding looked luxury and impeccable.

The best hall ever, everything was wonderful. Thanks for everything.

We had the most amazing event at Aqua and they made the whole experience memorable. We thank them for everything.

The best place to have a wedding. There are very professionals. I will never forget my dream wedding at this place. :).

My wedding at aqua reception hall was more than I expected!!! It was just perfect and beautiful!!! I will recommend this place 100% for a wedding or other event!!!!

Great experience working with Lina and her team!! Lina was reassuring throughout the planning process & her team was incredible the day of the party! DJ (Ray) was very helpful and the food was AWESOME! Florist & cake designer were both amazing! An overall positive experience!!

To begin with, when I first entered Aqua I fell in love! I loved everything! The floors, the chandeliers, and the bar. Everything seemed perfect for my wedding. I loved how everything sparkled and I knew this is the place I needed to get married at and I was not disappointed! I was just so amazed on how beautiful my wedding looked! The payed attention to every detail. The centerpieces, the decorations, the food... I had so many compliments on my wedding day! Everyone loved the place. I would definitely have another special occasion at Aqua.

Never did I imagine to have such a wonderful night like the night I got married. Specially because of the help of Lina Espitia and the Aqua Reception Hall staff, I had the wedding reception of my dreams. While I was trying to finish college in Gainesville, FL, my mother took charge of planning my wedding. My mother, a detailed-oriented and picky woman, felt an excellent customer service experience from Mrs. Lina, who is also very detail oriented and open to my mother's Venezuelan ideas and party traditions. Because I have some experience in the event planning field, I understand and am grateful all the hard work of the Aqua owners, and the respect, friendliness and professional work of Lina's staff. The day of the reception, which was on June 20, the staff was attentive and professional. DJ Mike has a lot to offer to the dance floor. He has an ability to be flexible and catches on quickly to the guests' music preferences. I may be biased when it comes to the master of ceremony, since I've only met one ever, but he was exceptional and made my first dance with my husband and my dad's dance special. The food was incredible and the photography services, which were recommended by Lina, were exceptional as well! Everything my mother and I imagined the wedding to be came to reality. I was impressed, the guests were impressed, and my mother was happy. To say the least, I would be very happy to work with the owners again. I would never agree with any negative comments towards these amicable and professional staff or the owners because I know Lina will go above and beyond to make your day special! If you are thinking about contacting this vendor, don't think about it twice and just do it. From one ex-bride to a future bride, I hope your wedding night is as special as mine was.

My family recently had my cousins sweet 15 here, the staff was extremely helpful, patient and attentive to all of our needs and wishes. We had a great time at the party the food was tasty, and the decorations were beautiful! I would recommend this place!

On May 31, 2014, we had the pleasure to celebrate our daughter's 15 birthday in Aqua Reception Hall. The place was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff super helpful and friendly. Besides, we could not ask for more in terms of the decorations. We chose an under the sea theme with seahorses, starfishes and pearls, and the place just looked stunning. All my family and friends were very pleased with the Reception Hall. Everybody was asking us how we found that beautiful place. The kids enjoy the party so much because there is a special feature in Aqua where the DJ is placed in a platform. I never saw something like that before in any other reception place.I highly recommend Aqua for any celebration because it is a place that hasn't compare with any other and you really enjoy your celebration!
I won't forget my daughter's face when we entered the place, she had a smile that is going to be engraved forever in the bottom of my heart.
