    Beautiful Waterfront Miami Venue

    My husband and I highly recommend Briza on the Bay for your wedding! We are a military family living about 10 hours away and Nelly, Harry, and the whole Briza Team were absolutely so easy to work with. Nelly and Harry are the best coordinators and they will make your wedding day feel at ease. Myself, my husband, and all of our guests felt that they were so sweet, efficient, and personable. The guests loved the food, the beautiful venue along the water, and the service. The location of this venue is perfect. It is right along the beautiful marina, walking distance to various hotels and Trinity Cathedral (where we had our religious ceremony), and also located near a hotel mall where all of our out of state guests were able to eat, drink, get their nails/hair done, and hang out. I can go on and on about how Briza on the Bay made our wedding day a dream! We HIGHLY recommend this venue and having Nelly (Nellysevent) be your next wedding coordinator.

    Best Experience!

    If you’re looking for a venue.. look no further than Briza on the bay. The food, the attention to detail, the all inclusive packages..it’s a one stop shop! It’s exactly what we were looking for. But what we ended up with was way more than we expected. From our first meeting with Jerry we were already in love. But when we met Harry at the tasting it was just pure magic.. literally..! We hit it off right away! His attention to detail and his willing to chat everyday at anytime day or night was unbelievable! I honestly could not have pulled off this wedding without him! Harry and his team were super at tentative to every single detail of my wedding! Even added some Disney magic (I’m a giant Disney fan but my fiancé is not)! This was a wedding dream come true and would recommend Briza 1000%! You will not regret it! ❤️

    Could the Day have been more perfect!?!?!?!

    We had the most perfect day & Harry & the Briza team made sure of it as he said he would!! Working with Harry was above and beyond my expectations, when the wedding party and guest rave about his attention given to us was the absolute cherry on top! Your guest will NOT be disappointed in the appetizers, main course, wedding cake or the libations(drinks)!! We ended up getting our cake from Eda’s cakes whose contracted with Briza’s package and even engaging with them was PERFECT!! As a bride, you have this vision of the day, I walked down the aisle in tears because it was an absolute dream!! When we renew our vows, I’d come back to Briza in a heartbeat!! The value and experience was well worth the price!

    To the ENTIRE BRIZA team, thank you all for being professional, tentative and making the process convenient for this bride!! Harry & I are friends now forever…lol but, seriously he was our magician of the event, thank you!!! -the Linton’s

    Just amazing Night!

    Working with Briza for my wedding was such a great experience. My wedding day was EPIC! Working with Harry and his team, along with my wedding planner, Vanessa Hayward Events was magical. If there was issues, I assume they were taken care of, because all I did was smile and enjoy my night with my husband, friends and family. Excellent experience…. I want to re-live the night again and again!

    Fantastic Waterfront Venue with Party Vibes

    What a great choice of venue. First of all the location is amazing and the atmosphere is gorgeous once they set everything up. Secondly, everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive. We wanted a do-it-all venue since we didn't have a wedding planner and are a simpler couple. Our main focus was feeding people food and alcohol and having a fun party - mission accomplished! Harry was the all-star of the occassion and made the process seamless. He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were taken care of and made our families feel special. They took a lot of stress off of our plate, and for a very fair and reasonable price. Highly recommend Briza.

    World class service

    Briza literally waited on us hand and foot throughout the entire process. This venue included my cake from Ana Paz, open bar, 6 passed apps and 3 meal options for 60 people, all for less than 8k. I only needed to hire a photographer, florist at DJ at my own discretion. The package was wonderful

    Excellent Responsiveness and Competitive Price

    Gerry was responsive, professional, and transparent about their dates, vendors, and pricing. My fiance and I opted for a very small dinner for our wedding, but if we were to have moved forward with a larger party, Briza on the Bay would have been it.

    Absolutely Perfect

    I wish I could give a million stars for this venue. Gerry and his team are the absolute best wedding vendors I worked with throughout the entire process of planning my wedding. From the first time I contacted Gerry, he was extremely responsive, patient, and kind. When we finally met to tour the venue, we were blown away by the beauty of the venue, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of not only Gerry but his entire staff. Gerry went above and beyond at every single step of the wedding planning process to ensure that my husband and I were happy with the experience his team was delivering…and let me tell you, we were. On the day of my wedding, I worried about absolutely nothing as Gerry and his team took care of everything EXACTLY as planned. In fact, several of my wedding guests commented on how outstanding the service and food was the entire night. Because of Gerry and his team, I will have the most wonderful memories to look back on. You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue!!!!!!!!

    Thank you Gerry and all for everything you did to make my wedding day PERFECT. I am forever grateful.

    Excellent Venue

    This venue was fantastic. The location is ideal. The venue itself is perfect. It has everything a wedding needs. The food was delicious. The staff was courteous and professional. The bartender (Chris) was great! All my guests couldn't stop talking about the food and the bartender. My wedding was a success because of this venue. Highly recommend.

    No other venue out there

    What can I say about Briza? They’re the best super accommodating and the food is literally to die for I ordered the salmon for all my guests which usually I wouldn’t since I know a lot of people don’t eat fish but I had guests coming to me days later telling me that they HATE seafood and loved the salmon the apps, to the drinks to the main dinner were all to die for and don’t let me get started on the service!!! OMG OMG OMG just perfection!!!!

    Nos encantó

    Nos encantó. Quedamos fascinados con Briza desde que pedimos informe y hasta el último momento de la fiesta. Todo el personal fue muy atento y la experiencia superó nuestras expectativas. La relación precio calidad es muy buena. La calidad de los alimentos, el salón y el servicio a cliente son inmejorables. Tanto el personal como los servicios son de primera. 100% recomendado. Nosotros sólo tuvimos mes y medio para organizar la boda y en Briza fueron muy pacientes, creativos y nos ayudaron a que el evento saliera perfecto. Nos encantó hacer nuestra boda aquí.

    Absolutely amazing experience

    We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! From the location, to the pre-planning process, to the day of service, Briza provided all of the elements for a perfect day. Nely and Gerry were an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way, and our guests are still raving about the exceptional food and service during the reception. Thank you so much Briza for making our day so amazing!!

    Event Planner

    cannot thank Briza on the Bay enough for my cousins wedding this past August 2019. Every stage of the event process was so easy. Gerry the Director of Sales truly worked with our budget and although this was a small wedding, made us feel important and made all our requests happen. Hailey our event manager was so attentive and made herself available for all our needs like coming in on her day off for our wedding rehearsal. The Chef also worked with us on our special dietary requests and the brides wishes to incorporate edible flowers to one of the entrees and also put on a lovely dessert station. As someone whom has worked in the event industry the last ten years, I have to say that “Briza does it right!” They were a dream to work with. Gerry, Hailey & Chef we cannot thank you enough for Priscilla & Carlos’s Special Day!!! Warm Regards, Monica Tafur (Moni)

    The perfect Miami wedding venue!

    Our experience with Briza on the Bay was fantastic. There were three things we wanted from our wedding venue: a location by the water, good food, and superior service. Briza delivered on all three fronts and more.

    The location on the marina is beautiful, and the venue space is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows showing off the view of Biscayne Bay. The venue also includes a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system that saved us money on entertainment and made for an incredibly fun reception. Also, the partnership the venue has with the Marriott Biscayne Bay (where we had a room block) wound up being extremely convenient for our out-of-town guests.

    We have not stopped receiving compliments on the food. Briza worked with us to create an entree that wasn't on the original menu we received (a Caribbean salmon dish that tasted amazing). We felt that the range of options for the cocktail hour and the quality of the dishes were both exceptional, and an incredible value for the price. The drinks were also delicious (Briza makes a great mojito!).

    Finally, the service we received at Briza--from the initial walkthrough to the very end of the reception--was consistently outstanding. Jeannine is such a warm and friendly person and made us feel special from day one. She worked with us and our planners to get all the details right, from arranging our ever-changing floorplan just the way we wanted to bringing in the late-night bites that we requested from Islas Canarias. And Carlos, the banquet captain, and his service staff were professional, devoted, and friendly to every last guest. We've received so many compliments about the wait staff and bartenders for their attentiveness and attitudes. And our experience matched that of our guests - the team at Briza made us feel expertly cared for on our wedding day, anticipating our needs and always doing so with a smile.

    We'll forever be grateful to Briza on the Bay for giving us the Miami wedding we dreamed of. We doubt there's a better wedding venue anywhere in Miami, and can't recommend Briza highly enough. Thank you Briza!

    Amazing venue, staff, and food!

    Having my wedding at Briza on the Bay was the best decision I could have made. After looking at Briza I did not have to look anywhere else. The venue is so versatile that they can really capture whatever vision you are looking for. The windows from the ceiling to the floor allow for a gorgeous view with great natural lighting. Our ceremony was inside, cocktail hour outside, and reception inside. They flipped the room during the cocktail hour so efficiently and beautifully. Everyone was amazed. We got to work with Jeannine to put together our wedding! Jeannine is so amazing! I don't have enough words to describe how great she truly is. She was kind and really wanted to ensure that we were happy with every decision we were making. She was always quick in responding and her calm demeanor allows you to stay calm. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us! Now the food...the food was fantastic! Everyone complimented us on how delicious the food was! The staff at Briza are extremely kind and attentive. They ensured that my husband and I as well as our guests were tended to throughout the reception. The bartender was amazing and quick! Everyone loved her! Overall my experience at Briza was the best experience and everything about Briza contributed to the amazing wedding I had that my guests can't stop talking about! Thank you Jeannine and Briza on the Bay for making my day special and exceeding my expectations!

    Wedding Planning from CA to Miami!

    Planning a wedding from Coast to Coast was not an easy task. Our daughter and future son in law loved the ambiance and feel of Briza on the Bay when they visited in December. Going on absolute faith that they selected the correct venue we booked it and do not regret it! Gerry and his staff made it easy for us from start to finish with their list of recommended vendors. All very professional and top quality professionals. Went to Miami for the food tasting and vendor meeting with everyone 6 months before the wedding and all went very well. The food tasting was delicious and very thorough. The day of the wedding 6 months later everything was as discussed, planned for and all expectations met and food was as we first tasted...delicious. Nothing but compliments from all our guests, thank you Gerry and staff! I highly recommend Briza on the Bay.

    This place was amazing. I worked with Joseph Castaneda while planning my for my wedding. He made sure everything was perfect for my special day. The venue was beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful during the dinner service. The food was superb. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how much they enjoyed the food. I would recommend anyone planning to have an event use them.

    My experience was nothing short of amazing. The location was phenomenal and Jeannine was outstanding. She was with us every step of the way and answered ALLof our questions ( we had a lot). The day of the wedding was more than i could have ever imagined. The food was spectacular ( our guests still rave about it) and the drinks were off the chain. The lighting was such a beautiful touch and it brought everything back together. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a beautiful place to celebrate their big day.
