    The most magical wedding day

    This was the dream wedding venue! Sarah and the rest of the TBO team were available for whatever we needed from the moment we booked the venue until even the day after our wedding and were incredible to work with. I could not recommend this venue more and wish we could do it all over again! Thank you Sarah and the Balcony Orlando for a day we will never forget!

    Absolutely loved this venue!

    Absolutely loved this venue! Aside for the gorgeous view and beautiful venue, the venue coordinators were amazing. Fran and Brianna were there every step of the way even if it wasn't in their scope. The wedding process for any couple can be pretty stressful but Brianna and Fran were constantly checking on us and making sure we were happy. We highly recommend this venue. We absolutely loved The Balcony!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Vivianna, thank you so much for sharing your experiences with our venue and team. You inspire us to be better and provide the kind of experience where beautiful memories are made in love. Stay in touch and congratulations again!

    The Balcony Orlando

    We just booked and are so excited to have our wedding in the heart of downtown! We were sold with the views but 100% the new indoor reception space is what sealed the deal. Brianna our wedding venue coordinator was kind, helpful, insightful, and just plain fun! We are so excited for what’s to come!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Rebecca, we are incredibly excited for the wedding planning fun we're about to have together. Thank you so much for trusting us - let's do this!

    Amazing experience

    The Balcony was a great downtown Orlando location! Fran and Sarah were great to work with throughout the process. They had a quick response and gave us peace of mind with the planning process and any updates we needed. We are so glad we picked this venue, and would definitely recommend it!!

    Flawless in orlando

    The Balcony Orlando was everything we wanted and more in a wedding venue. The staff was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was easy to reach out to with questions. The day went off perfectly. Brooke, our day of coordinator, was a ROCKSTAR. She made sure it went off seamlessly, we could not have done it without her. We used the outdoor and indoor space and it was all perfect.

    Highest Level of Service

    The Balcony Orlando has the most amazing service. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and always were able to make laugh when my husband and I needed it the most. The staff are with you every step of the way and they are extremely knowledgeable about all other vendors and are honest about what you need and what you don't need when it comes to the wedding. Fran, Brianna, and especially Brooke, thank you all so much for making our wedding the best day of our lives. Love, Robert & Phillip.

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Robert and Phillip, you have a way of brightening the room and you made us want to be the best version of ourselves. Thank you so much for the chance to be a part of one of the most memorable days of your life. We all send you love, hugs, well-wishes and hope to see you again very, very soon!

    Incredible Experience!

    I had the most magical wedding experience thanks to The Balcony! The venue itself is gorgeous, we had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside which was ideal for photos and the newly renovated inside area that was perfect for the reception! Brooke, Brianna, and Fran are the dream team! They are so friendly and devoted to making wedding planning less stressful. Everything from the initial booking, to the planning, to the wedding itself was easy, efficient, and fun! The day of was so organized and everything was taken care of so that my husband and I could enjoy the wedding (We even had time to eat! Thank you Brooke!). I seriously cannot say enough good things about The Balcony, thank you for helping to make this the best and happiest day of my life!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Jenni, we cannot give enough compliments to you, Josh, and your family. It was such an honor to work with you throughout the entire wedding planning process. Thank you for always being so sweet, genuine, and for lending us your trust!

    Our best day EVER

    We had THE BEST EXPERIENCE from the beginning to the end with The Balcony Orlando! After Church Street closed, we were worried we’d never find THE venue. Well we were wrong and found THE BEST ONE! Fran and Brianna were so easy and awesome to work with and def put my mom at ease!!!! The venue is the most special place to have a wedding or any event! The views are breathtaking and we are SO excited to see our pictures! We can’t say enough positive things about The Balcony Orlando!!!! 😊❤️

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Kristin, we appreciate your kind words. These situations always make for a memorable wedding planning experience. I'm just happy that we were able to step in at such a crucial moment and still be able to provide you with the wedding day of your dreams - no matter how different from your original wedding day visions.

    Nothing But Good Things!

    I knew this was our venue the moment I saw photos online. I booked my tour, then got a call from Brianna within a day or two to discuss the plan for the wedding. I explained I wasn't engaged yet, but she didn't judge me at all, she made me feel so comfortable! I ended up booking the venue on the spot the night before my husband I had left for a trip to LA...we got engaged there 3 days later! I loved the venue every time I went to visit it. My husband said it was the perfect amount of outdoor, rooftop, and industrial vibe. Fran was amazing to work with as well, so sweet and had tons of great advice for us. The preferred vendor list was awesome too! I did not end up needing to use all of them, although the decor, DJ, and catering companies I picked from their list were all top notch 5/5. It was much appreciated though to have the option to bring in outside vendors if I wanted to. Photography, videography, wedding planner, and florist had no issues becoming approved vendors either.

    I have nothing but good things to say about The Balcony Orlando, Brianna, and Fran! I would love to do it all over again if I could :)

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Nicole, your feedback has made us so happy! Our team strives to make it happen on wedding day - they will be happy to know we have achieved this for you and your new husband. If we can ever be of service to you in the future, we'll be here!

    Beautiful venue

    This venue is absolutely stunning when sunsets, it overlooks Lake Eola and the city of Orlando. The venue is very spacious and has a chic modern look to it. Fran and Brianna are sweet and easy to work with. We enjoyed the venue and would recommend anyone that wants a rooftop wedding. It is a blank canvas but if you have an open imagination, this place could be the dream venue for you.

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Kathy, it was a pleasure to host you and your family for such a wonderful occasion. We wish you a lifetime of joy!

    Brianna & Fran are the best!

    After The Ballroom at Church Street canceled six months before the big day, I was heartbroken and didn't think I would fall in love with another venue - TBO did not disappoint! I used the venue for the full day (ceremony, cocktail, reception) and it's large enough to accommodate the 280 guests I had! The whole day was truly magical and the sunset from the rooftop during the ceremony was breathtaking. Additionally, Fran and Brianna were an absolute delight to work with during the planning process and even afterwards. Due to a timing issue with hair & makeup, I wasn't able to get to the venue on time and didn't take the pictures I planned for with my husband and bridesmaids. When I let Fran know months later, she called me and is letting me retake pictures at TBO for free. Truly, I couldn't be happier with my experience with them! Love you both!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Natasha, we are so happy to read this feedback. Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us and trusting our team to help make it happen! Sending you lots of love!

    King wedding

    The Balcony Orlando venue is a classy elegant phenomenal venue, the roof top really set the scene for a magical wedding. Fran and Briana were amazing to work with from beginning to end, so helpful in proving suggestions for great vendors, very professional and always communicating with us every step of the way.
    I can’t wait for our next event at The Balcony Orlando❤️

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Noemi, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for the kind words. It was such an honor to work with you and make sure everything went according to plan. Everything from the big picture down to the details was exquisite!

    Everything and More

    From the moment I saw The Balcony Orlando, I knew that was were I wanted to have my reception. You really cannot say enough about the views. My wedding was everything I wanted it to be and it is thanks to Fran, Brianna, Clara, and all of The Balcony staff. They think of everything and helped keep me organized with timelines, google drive drop boxes, and reminder emails. I couldn't have asked fora better group to work with.

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Thank you, Sarah! It was such a pleasure to work with you and host your family for your reception. Many years of wedded bliss to you and your new husband!

    The Balcony Orlando is such a unique venue! It has indoor and outdoor space with a magnificent view of Downtown. We were so pleased to have had our ceremony and reception here. The views and space aren’t even the best part!! Fran and her team were. They were so accommodating and helpful. They listened to everything we wanted and made it all happen!! We were (unfortunate) to lose our venue just two weeks before our wedding and were able to book The Balcony. I put unfortunate in parenthesis because it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to us because we ended up at The Balcony. I cannot say how grateful we are to Fran, Bri, and all others for their dedication to our day. They asked all the right questions, worked so well with our other vendors, and helped us put back together our dream wedding. We can’t wait to attend all the other fun events they offer!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Fate brought us together! Your wedding here was such a remarkable gift - from the people to the day - it couldn't have been better. Thank you for trusting us!

    Nothing less than perfect

    I am so happy I went with The Balcony Orlando for the proposal I planned. Everything went well, Brianna kept in constant communication with me throughout the whole planning which made me less nervous. Thank you once again.

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Daniel, your kind words have made an impression on us! Your proposal was beautiful and heartfelt; we couldn't have been happier to help. Happy wedding planning!

    Disastrous

    -Venue cannot handle a big wedding.
    -Overpriced- we had to pay a 25% fee on top of everything (in addition to gratuities). Ie. Catering, decorations, etc.
    -Event coordinators are helpful until the day of, then they are nowhere to be found.
    -Lack of promptness and staff the day of, my family and friends had to help them set up and put out fire.
    -Their “preferred” vendors’ staff are clueless.
    -They neglected to tell us we had to throw out our own trash and made us drag the trash down to the first floor after the wedding.

    Our wedding was poorly executed by everyone involved at The Balcony. Very unorganized and unprofessional. When we recap the issues they gave a generic response because it’s only about the bottomline for them. They do not care! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Dear Hong,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback regarding your wedding at The Balcony. We sincerely apologize that your special day did not meet the high standards we strive to uphold.

    Firstly, we would like to address your concerns about our service fee. The 25% fee is standard in our industry and is applied to cover various administrative and operational costs associated with hosting an event at our venue. We understand that this may have not been clear, and we regret any confusion or frustration it caused.

    Regarding the trash disposal issues, we recognize that these aspects significantly impacted your experience. The trash you are referring to was from your contracted floral vendor that we did not manage. We always inform our clients that it is the responsibility of the vendors that come into the venue to set and strike their portion of the event. Your vendor did not, and was not planning to, return after unloading an entire garden of flowers. We did offer to handle the cleanup following the event after your floral vendor for a fee to cover the additional labor that would have been required to clean up the extensive floral leftovers, which you declined. We are reviewing our communication and operational procedures to ensure clearer information is provided to our clients well in advance of their event.

    We also acknowledge your concerns about the capacity and coordination of large events. We are taking steps to improve our procedures and staff training to ensure that all events, regardless of size, are managed effectively and efficiently. We are always transparent regarding the lighting as well, which is well-lit under our market lighting between the two towers.

    Regarding your experience with one of our preferred caterers, Table Top, we are addressing these issues directly with them. We are committed to ensuring that all our vendors align with our values and standards, particularly regarding inclusivity and adaptability to diverse cultural needs, something that The Balcony strives for. We host events from all walks of life, so we do not appreciate the presumption that we treated your event any differently based on your "ethnic backgrounds". We have also hosted hundreds of events with Table Top and this is the first we have heard of this type of feedback.

    We want to assure you that your feedback is being taken seriously, and we are always making improvements. Our goal is always to create a memorable and joyous experience for our clients, and we are truly sorry that we did not achieve this for your wedding.

    We are grateful for your honesty, as it helps us to grow and better serve our clients. We hope that despite these challenges, you were able to cherish some beautiful moments from your special day.

    Thank you once again, and we wish you and Pedro all the best in your future together.

    Do not book this venue

    DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE! As beautiful as the place may be, do not book unless you want the embarrassment of the police showing up at your event. What this venue fails to mention is that due to a residential building being next door you will receive multiple noise complaints if there is music. The staff will take your food without asking and the security guard will harass you by all means necessary. A wedding was shut down by the police because of their napoleon complex having security guard. I am utterly DISGUSTED with this place. I repeat, DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE!

    The Balcony Orlando's reply:

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort you experienced during your event at The Balcony Orlando. We understand the importance of special events like weddings and strive to provide a memorable experience for all our guests. Let me address your concerns:

    Noise Complaints: The Balcony Orlando is located in a vibrant urban setting, which does have a residential building nearby. We always inform our clients of potential noise concerns, and there are clear guidelines about volume levels to ensure harmony with our neighbors. While we want every event to be lively and enjoyable, we must also respect the surrounding community.

    Food Concerns: We partner with our caterers to ensure both guests and staff are well-taken care of. Any meals provided to our staff are pre-arranged and separate from the food prepared for guests. It's never our intention to take away from the guest experience.

    Security Concerns: Our security team's primary goal is to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests and staff. It's regrettable that there were misunderstandings during your event. We always strive to act professionally and in the best interests of all attendees.

    In the event that local authorities are involved, it's always with the intention of ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.

    We deeply regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate all feedback as it helps us continuously improve. Should you wish to discuss further, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We value the opportunity to understand and address our guests' concerns.
