Dua Miami, Autograph Collection Reviews

I had my wedding reception at this venue and Monica and the entire events team made this such an easy experience. We chose to have the reception on the duck deck and party room so we would have both indoor and outdoor options. I have no complaints! Everything from the staff, to the food, to the drinks was amazing. Pricey but worth it for the value.

We had our wedding at the SLS Brickell last month and we cannot be happier with how everything came out! Everything was beyond beautiful, the food was incredible and the service was excellent. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the hotel was. We had a long engagement so we had booked the venue about a year and a half in advance, therefore we had a lot of different conversations and we could not be happier with the service provided. Natalia ensured that everything was to our liking and that our vision came to life. We cannot thank her enough for her hard work, professionalism, and attentiveness! We highly recommend the SLS Brickell for a wedding or event venue.

The SLS was an unusual choice for us but it was the best decision we made! My mom and I found the SLS Brickell by mistake, we were touring nearby venues and walked into the SLS Lux, they redirected us to the SLS Brickell, we didn’t have an appointment but we were quickly greeted by Cristina the senior catering manager at the time. She graciously gave us the first of three tours of the venue before we signed the contract. One of the many things that set the SLS Brickell apart from other hotel venues was that “no” was not in their vocabulary. The venue has a unique, yet very elegant and modern vibe and ascetic. We had a few unique requests and they were able to meet all of them! Natalia took over our wedding as the Senior Catering and Conference Manager, after Cristina left the hotel. The transition was seamless! Natalia met with us various times throughout the time before our wedding. She answered every single one of our many questions, and made everything possible for us to have a perfect wedding day! The staff at the SLS Brickell made us feel like we were celebrities the weekend of our wedding! They were all so kind during our wedding weekend and every time we visited the hotel before for planning meetings. We received endless compliments on the food at our wedding. The chef was able to make any accommodations we requested. All in all, we had the most perfect wedding day and it was in part because we choose the SLS Brickell as our venue! Thank you to Natalia for everything you did to make sure it was perfect!

Hosting our rehearsal dinner at the SLS Brickell. Event turned out great. Did a fancy cocktail style party with plenty of passed food and stations. Also did the premium open bar package. The view was fantastic and the guests left very impressed.

We got married at SLS Brickell on 7/16/2022. We could not have selected a better venue for our wedding. We began working with Cristina who was amazing. A few months later, Sofia joined the team and took the baton and ran with it. She was professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with.
SLS Brickell closed down the pool area on our wedding day to ensure that we had an exclusive, private wedding. We loved the unique architectural features of the hotel and the great ambiance. The food was exceptional and our signature cocktails were memorable. We had multiple guests raving about the food and the staff. You cannot go wrong with SLS Brickell.

The SLS did an exceptional job on making my dream wedding come to fruition. They were very accommodating, and most all they made my guest and I feel very welcome.

Thanks to the amazing team at SLS Brickell I was able to have my dream wedding! The event space is perfect and spacious , it even has an amazing balcony connected to it that allowed for a great view of Miami. There are so many great and fun places to take photos within the venue. I will not say that there were no bumps in the road because there were but the team did everything in their power to make sure that I was happy and fix any bump that did occur. I can not thank the SLS team and Monica Tafur (Catering and Conference Manager) enough for helping me plan and have such an amazing night. =)

We had our Rehearsal Dinner followed by Welcome Drinks at the SLS Brickell on the eve of our wedding, and would do everything the same all over again! Natalia Baraona was our point person and was the absolute BEST! We actually signed the contract while a different person was in her role and we were worried that the transition would be rocky, however, she made sure everything was absolutely seamless. Natalia went above and beyond to make sure our day went to perfection. She was kind, patient, responsive and always available despite my multiple visits to the hotel to see the space and discuss little details. I could sleep easy at night knowing she was in charge!

The venue itself is amazing and allows for a lot of flexibility specially considering how unpredictable Miami weather can me. The forecast was not too promising the day prior to the event but Natalia gave us the peace of mind that even if things had to be moved inside, it was going to be absolutely perfect. And it sure was—the dinner had to be moved inside but she made sure the space looked amazing, with perfect lighting and the food was delicious! At the entrance of the hotel there was screen where pictures of my husband and I were displayed which was a fun touch! After dinner, we went down and had welcome drinks by the pool (the weather seemed promising for later in the evening)—the space around the pool was amazing and the service was excellent. I could not recommend Natalia and her team at SLS highly enough!! 10/10 experience!

I want to share my experience as a wedding planner with the SLS staff. They are all very professional and helpful, always willing to go the extra mile to please the customer. Sometimes the bride and groom or their families can be very demanding, but they resolve each requirement quickly and above all by working as a team.
Definitely for me and my team it is easier to work in a wedding process and specially the day of the wedding, having someone who can back us up. Monica, the catering manager, who leads this wonderful team, is always on top of every detail, replies quickly to every email or text, gives recommendations from her experience. Bottom line SLS is a great venue with great food and awesome service. I highly recommend this venue to any future couple!!!

BELLISIMO EVENTS

The SLS Brickell made our wedding planning simple and uncomplicated. Cristina Renfroe make sure everything was perfect and communicated everything to her team in a detailed matter. Every single staff member knew what was going on and were open to help us in anything we might needed. I highly recommend this Hotel for any type of events. Their banquets and AV team are perfection. I will definitely come back and plan another important event.

I got married here on May 22, 2021. From the moment I went to visit the venue, everyone at the hotel was wonderful to work with! Jessica Linares went over and beyond to make my wedding a dream. From the food, to the service, to the aesthetics of the venue, everything was PERFECT! This is where you want to get married! Although I live in Miami, most of my wedding guests decided to stay at the hotel over the weekend and everyone raved about how wonderful their experience was. This venue was worth every penny, and I know I wouldn’t have gotten this experience elsewhere in this city.

amazing jessica linares is the best!!! super helpful with everything

We began planning our wedding during the pandemic, never thinking in a million years the pandemic would still be going on when the wedding finally came. Jessica Linares was AMAZING to work with from start to finish and very accommodating with any changes due to the pandemic. The property is BEAUTIFUL, with so many different opportunities for pictures and experiences depending on where you are. We are still getting calls from our guests, including those who attended via Zoom, about how beautiful everything was and what a great time everyone had. The entire staff at the SLS were a joy to interact with throughout the whole weekend and we cannot thank everyone at the SLS enough for making our wedding an amazing memory for us and our guests!

The most attentive any staff has ever been. They go over the top to make you feel like family and like royalty on your special day. Among a pandemic, they were amazing, felt us make safe, as helped us feel as normal as possible, given the circumstances. This hotel is a gem for weddings, the views, the service, the rooms, just everything. The food was AMAZING. They served over 100 guests and every meal was fresh and warm! All my guests raved about the location.

I can not speak more highly regarding my experience with the SLS!!!!

Jessica Linares, their Catering Manager, is a DREAM to work with. She was so quick to respond, solution-oriented, couldn't have been nicer, extremely accommodating, and all-around just such great energy during every interaction.

The SLS is also a beautiful venue. It ended up raining on our wedding day and the SLS was quick to change around our plans and still make it perfect. The food was amazing, the staff was accommodating, and the hotel aesthetic is one of a kind.

100% recommend the SLS Brickell!

We can't say enough great things about the SLS Brickell! If you are planning a chic, elegant, Miami wedding, definitely check out this location for your venue. The location is great and what we experienced was exceptional value for a beautiful wedding on the pool deck with amazing views. The food, the ambiance, the service was just phenomenal. Our guests could not stop talking about delicious the food was along with the top notch service! It was also important to me have someone who I can trust to handle all the details a wedding entails and I found that in Catleya. She (and the rest of the SLS Brickell staff) went above and beyond, were in constant communication the whole way and handled last minute changes beautifully. Every request was answered with a "no problem, we can handle that!" I had so much confidence in Cat and she really made everything run smoothly. It was a magical day and would not have been possible without the attention to detail Cat and the staff put into our special day. They can accommodate any size wedding with such ease and worked with us to make sure our vision came to life. We HIGHLY recommend the SLS Brickell! 

Planning a wedding during the peak of a pandemic is everything you can imagine it to be. I was originally getting married in September 2020 and the venue did not answer emails or take any calls during the shutdown, they responded the second week of August to let me know that they did not plan on reopening until October. completely devastated I started the venue search all over and I am so glad I did! Jessica and the whole SLS team were so attentive from the very first day I walked through the doors until the day I left happily married. Jessica is heaven sent and so pleasant to work with, her replies were always prompt and never negative (refreshing considering the situation). Most importantly my family and friends felt the same level of attention and a month later they are all raving about the food and service they experienced that night.

We had our destination wedding here in October 2022 and it was absolutely perfect! Since it was destination majority of our guests who flew in stayed at this beautiful boutique style hotel. The décor and ambiance is amazing as well as the staff. The rooftop was perfect for wedding pics and ceremony as well as the banquet hall which is modern looking and opens up to a beautiful balcony with views of Brickell. I would highly recommend this location for other brides and grooms and we thank Monica and all the SLS team for the wonderful stay and coordination of our special day! Can't wait to come back for vacation :)

We had our wedding on December 3, 2022. Everything turned out great and we’re so happy to haven chosen SLS Brickell. Would not recommend getting married on art Basel weekend but that’s just general advice
