    Gala event

    My event was in October 2023. I paid the deposit and was promised many items at the time of signing the contract (in January 2023). When I went in to make the final payment and review everything for the event, I was told "no, that's not what was said, no, we don't do that, no, we don't have that. Because it was a Gala and my guests paid for their tickets I had to continue with the event. The venue is beautiful but the owner was is not a man of his word.

    Lavan Venue's reply:

    Dear Ava Smith,

    Thank you for voicing your point of view. At the time that you booked we provided a promotion of a limo pick up or drop off and black linens. When it was time for the final payment and review of your event, you decided to proceed with our newest entertainment feature, The Circle of Love" which are the cold sparkles and we gladly provided you with the linens that were promised. The misunderstanding her was that you assumed that we provided decor, such as candles as center pieces. As per your contract we did not provide decor, we provided the venue, catering and 5-hour open bar. The misunderstanding was that we provided you with decorative suggestions, in which I believe you misunderstood as something we provided. Everything that the contract stated was what we provided you. We even saw you at the end of your event and you provided me with a testimonial stating that the food and service was great. We are a company of integrity and transparency, and the contract upholds every detail we provided. I do believe your Gala was a success. We wish your future Galas with your Non-Profit company 8 Rounds Enterprise, Inc the best success.

    Excellent Customer Service

    Elvis and his entire staff assisted us in planning our first Retreat. They were amazing from the star to the finish. Even carved our company logo on a watermelon. Very unique! We will be planning our next event there next year. Highly recommended

    Lavan Venue's reply:

    Thank you Amy! It was a pleasure to host your Memorial Regional Hospital Retreat. It was an amazing turn out, and we enjoyed the group of residents you had here. We look forward in hosting your next corporate event in March 2024!

    Beautiful venue

    We loved using Lavan for our reception! The staff was courteous and very helpful. They have really great packages for the food and lighting service. The day of the event everything looked beautiful and the floor plan was better than what I imagined. Highly recommend this place for any special event, not just a wedding!

    Beautiful Venue

    If you are looking for a beautiful venue with all the trimmings.. this is the place to go. It's breath taking from the moment you pull into the parking lot to the outdoor patio area for the ceremony. Stunning!

    Indian Engagement/ Sangeet

    I am so happy I did my events at Lavan. I met with the staff several times to plan my Henna/ Sangeet night and it came out amazing. The only issue I had was they weren't as flexible as I hoped when it came to the tent for outside. I worked with my decorator and because it was going to rain we had to get a tenting service the night before. The issue was they wanted the tent off the property the same night once the event ended. This was extremely difficult because most vendors couldn't set up and break down the same night. Therefore I ended up paying more because Lavan wouldn't wait until 8 am the next day. Other than that, I had no issues and loved there lighting system/ projector. My party was so much fun and it gave an amazing ambiance. The staff and managers were also great to work with, they were flexbile with me bringing my dog as well.

    An amazing experience

    Doreen and her staff were wonderful. The venue in itself is so beautiful and elegant that you need to do very little to make a gorgeous affair. The lighting package is worth every penny. The food was wonderful, the event ran smoothly, and they were so professional and accommodating with every request leading up to our wedding. We would absolutely have another event at the venue. We loved everything about it and the people who helped make it happen.

    This venue is amazing

    To all of my engaged brides looking for an awesome venue in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, you have to see this place. Besides the fact that it’s absolutely gorgeous, the team at Lavan’s are so awesome to work with. They make you feel welcome every time you stop by or call, AND their doors are always open. The team constantly invites you to stop by and view different setup styles for inspiration. There has never been a time that I called, or stopped in (I’m there pretty often) that someone wasn’t able to answer any of my questions, despite the fact that I didn’t have an appointment. I never feel rushed, or as if I’m taking up too much of there time. I could go on and on, but I will just say that Lavan’s staff has made the planning process for my big day so smooth thus far!!!!

    This is a fairytale place that will make your dreams come true. It has everything you need and want especially if you have a inside and outside ceremony. I can't wait for our moment.

    In one word, wow!!!! I got married on June 16, 2016 in Lavan catering & events and I wouldn't have done it any other way!!! I met amazing people that worked with us from beginning to end with so much patients and so much help. Doreen was our person. She went above and beyond for us and made sure we were more than happy with everything that we chose. Bruce was also very nice and friendly and both provided us with five star costumer service. We were working together for months before the wedding, trying to make it as perfect as possible and it was with Doreen's help and the amazing team at Lavan. The day of the wedding, my husband and I felt like we were on top of the world with the amazing service and the attention we got from the staff at Lavan. They were on top of everything all night and made sure that we wouldn't worry about a thing. We really couldn't ask for a more perfect night. Until today I get compliments on the beautiful clean place, delicious food and excellent service!! People enjoyed themselves and so did we and for that reason, I am hoping to celebrate many of our lifetime events with you guys! Thank you thank you thank you for everything. We love you!!

    Almost nine months later, still in absolute awe. We recently got married in September 2015 and had the privilege of having Doreen Moll as our Wedding Coordinator. Everything we envisioned was brought to life. Having Doreen by our side made our wedding plans so much easier. She was always professional, available and attended to our every need. In addition, the food was outstanding. I recently ran into one of my guests and the thing that stood out the most at the event was the food - especially the steak they had! You rarely remember the food you eat at weddings, we are so happy our guests enjoyed everything at the venue - the ambience, the service, and definitely the food.

    When we walked into the venue for the first time as husband and wife, we could not believe everything fell into place as we envisioned so perfectly. The wedding program went smoothly because of Doreen's expertise and attention to detail. We recommend Lavan Catering and Events without hesitation, and have no doubt should you choose to hold your next event there that it will be perfect just like ours!!
    Thanks again Doreen for all your help and making our day unforgettable. Also a special thanks to Stacy and Bruce for handling the many aspects of our wedding leading up to and on our wedding day.
    Look forward to crossing paths again in the future.

    Lavan was a great choice for me to host my wedding ceremony and reception. Pulling in from outside you are perhaps taking back due to the location but once your inside the building you are floored how beautiful it is "And who's using the outside to get married anyway" They offered both what I wanted to accomplish outside in a garden and inside for a modern, romantic party experience. Working with Bruce was great he was calm, friendly and knows a thing or two about weddings. As the days leading up to my event, my wedding consult Bruce was changed to Doreen which was a bit alarming to me because I spent the past 9 months dealing with him and now with the change I was worried my vision was not going to be executed the way I planned. Doreen was very friendly and organized she went over all plans with me and we confirmed everything. The night was amazing. There was 2 minor bumps one with my layout, and the timing, but nothing I wanted to concentrate on since my guest had no idea. The food, desert, and coffee stations was excellent. My guest had plenty to choose from and the staff was great. All very friendly and accommodating. I would say Doreen pulled it off and the night was amazing. I would highly recommend Lavan.

    From the moment I walked into Lavan it took my breath away. Looking at it from the outside can be very deceiving. I had Doreen helping me with all of my planning and preparation. She was with me every step of the way and was able to help me bring my visions to life. The food was fantastic and the lights were phenomenal! Working with Lavan gave me a piece of mind knowing that I was in good hands and every aspect of my wedding would go perfectly.

    Kevin and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Doreen at Lavan (formerly SoHo). She was extremely professional and provided quality customer service. When my planner Kimberly and I sat down with Doreen we knew that everything would be AMAZING. Doreen answered all questions and addressed any concerns that we had immediately. There was never a doubt that Lavan was the perfect place to have our wedding. On the day of my wedding Doreen was hands on alongside my planner Kim and assisted in every way that she could. Now I cannot forget how beautiful the ceremony was. Lavan’s atmosphere added a sexy intimate feel to the décor in the room. The amazing lightening made the room sparkle in a shade of pink that we knew couldn’t have been produced by anyone other company. Most importantly, Doreen and the staff at Lavan made us feel a part of their family, and made sure we were taken care of. We have already recommended Lavan to our friends!

    The service here is amazing. From start to finish the staff here was very helpful and attentive. I worked with Doreen, she is an absolute sweetheart. My guest love the venue and the food. Beautiful black chandeliers in the ballroom. No carpet and beautiful furniture pieces. If you looking to impress your guest this is definitely the venue!

    When I saw this place for the first time, there was no other, it was my one and only choice! From the beginning of my planning, throughout and even on my special day, the staff and services were perfect. All that is included is so worth it, there's nothing like it. My guests are still talking a month later about the ambiance, food, beauty, service and feel of my special day! It was truly beautiful and it couldn't have been a better venue.

    We chose Soho for our wedding venue and that was the best thing we have ever done. Bruce our wedding coordinator was excellent he was so professional,organized and caring. He always made us feel at ease through all of our planning. The Soho staff was incredible they were so professional, efficient and friendly to all of our guests. One of the biggest things guest complain about is the food but not in my wedding I have received so many calls to let me know they fell in love with the venue, staff and the food was hot and delicious. We are truly grateful for all the hardwork and dedication you have all put forth into our wedding. Bruce it was a pleasure planning/working with you. We can't thank you enough for everything you have done. You are the best and your company should feel very fortunate to have you. Thank you so much

    Soho is truly such an amazing place! We worked with Bruce, and he is so amazing. He is so attentive to all your needs. He helped make our day so perfect!! Soho is so beautiful, we are still getting compliments on how amazing the venue was. The ceremony outside by all the lit up trees, and then the reception inside, it was so perfect!! We couldn't have had a better night! AND THE FOOD is so amazing!!!
