The venue itself is stunning, elegant, spacious, and beautifully maintained. It provided the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful celebration, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere.
The food was incredibly delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. Every dish was a hit. The bar service was equally impressive, with attentive bartenders who kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening.

n to the final moments of our celebration, the team at Vista Lago went above and beyond to make our day flawless.
The attention to detail was incredible — they truly made my husband and I feel like we were the only couple in the world. Every aspect of our wedding was thoughtfully planned and executed with care, and the staff treated us like family. The entire evening felt so tight-knit and personal, which made the whole experience even more special.
The food was absolutely delicious, with guests still raving about it days later! The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to help. The owners were incredibly hands-on throughout the process, making sure that every question was answered and every need was met. Their dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly made the planning so easy and stress-free. I was honored that they would choose to not only host my event on such a family oriented holiday, but also spend it with us working the event and making sure we were taken care of - it is a special detail that does not go unnoticed.
I would highly recommend Vista Lago Ballroom for any wedding or event. They truly made our day magical, and I know they’ll do the same for anyone who chooses them. Thank you to the entire team for making our dream day come true!

ay I have no complaints. The evening went so smoothly thanks to the team at Vista Lago. They were constantly checking on my husband and I throughout our wedding. One of the most important details to me was the food and the food here was incredible. Everyone was raving about how great everything tasted.
You have the ceremony, cocktail and reception all in one location. Not only is it great for weddings, but it is also great for baby showers, 15’s, birthdays and a lot of other fun events. It has high ceilings with beautiful chandeliers. It’s a gorgeous venue and the best value you will find in Miami. If you are anything like me and very indecisive and anxious, Vista Lago is the place to hold your wedding at. We are both incredibly happy we chose this venue and will be choosing this venue for future celebrations. They also gave us the left overs. We couldn’t eat on our wedding because of our nerves but we were able to enjoy the food the day after and everyone was right it was sooo good

All inclusive venue very accommodating of different diets for their delicious meals, the open bar was on point the whole night, all of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. And the price point was amazing with all it included in comparison to other banquet halls which are not stand alone in the area. Whether it's a wedding, baby shower, quince, birthday, anniversary or any special event you can think of this is the place for it!

om is gorgeous. The food is delicious and everyone loved it, the wait staff was only serving certain tables during cocktail hour. Our head tables didnt try the cocktail hour apps. Our wedding was rained out, so we had to improvise and have our ceremony inside. Thank god for our wedding planner because all the staff from this venue did was RUSH her... they didnt allow us to set up until 3PM and they didnt give us any staff to help set up because "you have your own wedding planner she can do it"... the day before the wedding I was being stressed about something I wanted last minute and instead of helping me they made it more stressful. To put the icing on the cake the owners never told us the lake was under construction. A big yellow bulldozer in the middle and a mountain of rocks would be the backdrop of our ceremony pictures, when everyone noticed including the photographers they told them "use photoshop" what kind of attitude is that? This venue only cares about MONEY... once you pay them they are done. Do not recommend im glad its over and we enjoyed our wedding day....

ings. We booked this venue in February 2022 and the staff was very flexible with the number of guests and payments that had to be made leading up to November 11, 2023. as we got closer to the date, Shantal was very helpful in helping me finalize the final details and helping me book any other vendors that I needed. The last week before the wedding day my coordinator was in constant communication with the venue to ensure everything would be perfect and Racquel was amazing the day of. Racquel ensured that me and my now husband got hors d’oeuvres from happy hour as well as drinks, and she even went out of her way to take pictures of us on her phone, while the photographer was taking a few. I think that’s a nice detail to mention, because at the end of the night I wanted to make sure I had some thing to see! Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about this venue, and I really recommend for anyone to book them and to have Shantal as your point person.

Vista Lago was AMAZING!! We got married here about 10 months ago and we STILL get nostalgic about our wedding there. Here are some highlights:
1. When the groom dropped off our wed...
ding decorations (ie signs, garlands, framed pictures, etc) he didn’t even need to give them instructions on where to put them, they took care of arranging everything and it looked perfect. There’s nothing I would change.
2. Their wedding package was practically all-inclusive. We had the venue, caterer, bartenders, and DJ all taken care of; we also went with their cake baker and florist recommendations. All we had to find were the photographers and officiant. Seeing other couples stressing out about finding and coordinating with all those vendors made us that much more grateful for Vista Lago. We didn’t hire a wedding planner and never felt that we needed to.
3. Multiple guests commented on how much they loved the food and how great the service was, from the servers who were attentive to those with dietary restrictions to the bartenders who remembered people’s drinks orders when they returned to the bar.
4. I can’t say enough great things about the day-of coordinator. The pace of our wedding flowed so nicely because of her. There were no lulls and nothing felt rushed. They have so many weddings here that they have the whole process DOWN and everything ran like clockwork.
5. The PRICE!! At the end of the day, the bill went well above the base price but that was because of all of our add-ons toward the end, which we would not have chosen had we surpassed our budget. We’ve been to weddings with much bigger budgets where the experience wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as our wedding was at Vista Lago.
A few areas of improvement, because nobody’s perfect:
1. Communication with Raquel and Jose was a challenge sometimes. I know they’re incredibly busy, but we were sometimes confused about the best contact method (text? email? another email?). We’re from out-of-town and had no one local to help with anything so that was stressful sometimes.
2. It would be really helpful to have instructions with a timeline of what should be arranged with them at certain times, like food tastings, linen choices, etc and the final deadline to request any add-ons.
3. Although I was thrilled with my choice of add-ons, nobody ever told me about them. I just happened to see Vista Lago’s Instagram pictures of another wedding that had some of those details, like different charger plates. It would’ve been great if they had all of their options outlined somewhere in the documentation (along with the prices) so you can check the boxes of what you want and email it to them by a certain date to avoid miscommunications. I felt like our choices were made last-minute and haphazardly.
All in all, we would 100% recommend Vista Lago as a wedding venue!! Raquel, Jose, the day-of coordinator (so sorry I don’t remember her name!) and the rest of their team created our perfect dream wedding.

Every guest kept saying how much fun they had because he definitely brought that MIAMI HEAT! Request him if you can. The cook also killed it by serving up such delicious food. The waiters and bartenders were so attentive and nice. I have nothing but love for this venue and if you can I definitely recommend it! Have your wedding here and you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks, Vista Lago for everything. You made the wedding of our dreams come true.

t everything was great. The cake and flowers which are included were also very good, although different affiliated vendors. And the drinks and bartender were good as well. The staff is amazing! The event coordinator and the day of person were super helpful. We live in VA, and the coordinator had zoom meetings with us and allowed my parents to do the tasting. The day of coordinator kept our drinks filled and ensured the party ran smoothly. The couple who run the place can be annoying and hard to work with at times. They sometimes go back on their word, so make sure you get everything in writing. They did let us postpone twice though, thanks Covid. Overall everything worked out and we and our guests had an amazing time. I would definitely do a party there again.

I just had the wedding of my dreams!!! And Loved every minute of it! But let me start from the beginning... About 4 years ago I went to a graduation for my son held at Vista Lago. ...
From that moment, I realized what a dynamic product and service they have. So I began to hire them for the company I worked for's annual holiday party. When it came time for My Wedding, it was seriously a no brainer. After a quick consult with Jose & Raquel, we were booked and ready to move on planning yet another event. Except this time is was actually for my husband and me. I knew automatically not only was I going to have a beautiful dreamy wedding, I knew the staff at Vista Lago knew how to get it done right! Their experience is phenomenal, and their passion to making every Bride and Groom happy is beyond words Outstanding! They have an excellent product and their desire to having every event perfect is what makes them stand out above all other ballrooms.
Jose, Raquel, and Your Amazing Staff Thank You for Everything & An Amazing Dreamy Wedding!!! 💞💍🥂😘

ding. Having previously been guests there at one of our best friend’s wedding, we knew the quality was top notch. That helped us make the decision to book with them for our big day. Honestly, it’s the best all-inclusive event location in Miami. What you get for what you pay is beyond what you would expect.
In the 6 months between our booking and the wedding day, Raquel was available to answer every single question I had (which, when planning a wedding mid-pandemic ends up being many more questions than normal). She was patient and helpful every step of the way, always cheerful and friendly. On the day, they took care of EVERYTHING. Every single piece of decor, every detail, was arranged exactly how we had asked for it to be.
As soon as our ceremony ended, we were asked what we wanted to drink, they made sure to have a plate with the food our guests were enjoying during the cocktail hour to make sure we didn’t miss out, they bustled my dress, went over our music selections to make sure when we entered the reception the rest of the night would be just as perfect.
The food is delicious! Several guests commented afterwards how much they loved it. The music was awesome...they listened to what we asked for and delivered 100% of it. We were so happy on our wedding day and love that we get to reminisce on how wonderful it was thanks to everyone at Vista Lago! Can’t recommend it enough!

If all wedding coordinators modeled their style, all brides and grooms would have a much seamlessly time planning their weddings. Our wedding was 01/01/2021 and everything was stunning and perfect. Everything looked more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Our vision came to life and it was a dream come true. We are in love with all our wedding details and wish to do it all over again. We truly want to thank Raquel, Samantha, Roly, and the entire Vista Lago Ballroom team for making our wedding planning experience stress free. Samantha was helpful and kind, she was always making sure my husband and I had everything we needed and she was with us every step of the way. They coordinated absolutely everything flawlessly and it was spectacular. The food and service was amazing. They are beyond incredible. They went above and beyond at every opportunity. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

A venue that has it all !!! When my husband and I started looking at venues we created a checklist of must haves which I’m sure most couples do. We went to location after location ...
and each one we went to always had something missing. Whether it was the view, the ballroom and lacked elegance, no transition, exc. we couldn’t find a place that checked all our boxes until VISTA LAGO BALLROOM!! When we drove up the the classic look of the building was already a check off the list. The magic doesn’t really start until you walk inside, it’s like stepping through a portal that takes you to into your own fairytale. The high ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers take your breath away. Looking to the back through the big big
Looking to the back through the large royal windows is the most beautiful picturesque view of the lake. It honestly took my breath away. We knew instantly they we had struck gold. The coordinators are so through and really help you through the process. I had a vision of the wedding in my head and was afraid that like the rest of the locations we saw ,that VLB would have a million restrictions. To my surprise apart from normal regulations and safety hazards they are extremely flexible. They really help you out together your vision of the best day ever. I e met with the owners who have many years of express wedding planners and coordinators! We explained our vision and concerns and they made us feel so comfortable and heard. They as well as there staff are so loving and kind and really hands on. After going through everything my husband and I knew right ways this was our wedding venue no question ! Raquel, Jose, Leydis, Cecilia, and Roly are the most amazing team out there. They are like working with family. They treated us with so much love and support and made us feel at home. All through the process they were there helping and guiding us. Any question I had they would be so quick to respond and give us guidance. We put our faith in theirs hands and they did not disappoint. Their food is amazing no matter what you chose you will love it. The DJ kept us dancing all night long ! Our guests are still talking about how great the Food and party was. I apologize that this review is long but there are so many amazing things to say about the VLB FAMILY! I can not thank them enough for making our special day the most amazing day possible. They took care of us and I honestly feel blessed to have found such a lovely place. If you are looking for a dream come true and have it done with ease please please please go see vista lago ballroom. I promise you will be nothing more than speechless! We will definitely be back for the best big event. VLB FAM we love you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts! With love A&A!

My wife and I celebrated our marriage on 2/1/2020 at Vista Lago Ballroom and it was amazing! We were not able to do our ceremony lakeside as planned due to rain but luckily VLB has...
a plan B and everything still came out exactly how we imagined. The food was so tasty and Leydis our coordinator, did such an amazing job at ensuring every detail was exactly how we wanted. My wife and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! DJ Roly was great..he went over all our music choices and kept everyone dancing! Everyone we worked with at VLB was very attentive the whole night! Loved that so many things were included in our package and we didn’t have to worry about finding outside vendors. Our best night ever, definitely recommend this venue to family and friends!!

For all your celebrations needs, we highly recommend Vista Lago Ballroom. The fact that its all inclusive truly helps individuals who are always on the go. This team ensures you'...
re vision comes to life.
Jose, Raquel, Ceci and Leidys were always available each step of the way ensuring any questions were answered no matter how many times we asked. This team exudes such professionalism at all times. We appreciate all the hard work as the staff at Vista Lago Ballroom made everything seem effortless.
From the beginning we wanted our ceremony to take place outside. Mother Nature had other plans and it rained non-stop. Raquel and Ceci reached out asking where to place the arch and I went with my gut and recommended it be placed outside. I was clear if it rained, the ceremony would be moved inside. Upon arrival Ceci and Raquel told me the weather cooperated and we were ready to move the wedding outside in the cemented area since the grass area was damp. I had no problem with that compromise and the ceremony took place which is what we had envisioned.
We want to take a moment to thank Ceci for taking care of business.
She ensured everything flowed without a hitch. We thank her for making sure our small wedding court knew where the needed to go, that James and I ate after the ceremony, she helped me with my wedding bustle within 5 seconds. Just exceptional! Ceci always had a smile on her face and was an absolute delight. All the positive things that can be said of her, it all applies. Ceci you made this date the absolute best. We loved the layout of the gift table, the welcome poster, everything.
Our guests cannot stop raving about the food/ceremony bites, bar area, location, ease of parking, ceremony/reception layout. Everything was top notch.
DJ Roly was on it with the music and accommodated all of our needs! Our guests danced the night away. DJ Roly is a true master in his craft. We also recommend using Florida booth for your photo booth needs. Because it was Christmas time we had Xmas and wedding props. Our guests loved the Grinch and reindeer masks and that they could keep prints. We can't wait to see the cloud version.
In conclusion, Vista Lago went above and beyond for our wedding. Thank you for making this day a success!!!
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Lazaro

Vista Lago Ballroom is a great venue to host a wedding ceremony and reception. Their all inclusive packages make it so easy to plan without missing a thing. The patio area where th...
e ceremony is held is beautiful with a Lakeview. The reception area is very spacious and was decorated exactly how we pictured it. I had Ceci & Leydis only a text or call away with any questions or concerns from the moment I booked. Ceci & Raquel actually worked the night of my actual wedding and they made sure everything went exactly as planned so that lifted a weight off my shoulders. I am forever grateful to Raquel and Jose for everything they did for my wedding, from Jose putting together a package that fit our needs to Raquel helping keep my veil in place, LOL, it was a windy day in September! When it comes to hospitality, the staff at this venue really go all out for their clients and that is something I will never forget. The food was amazing, the DJ was great, the bartender worked her butt off, I honestly cannot find a single bad thing to say. I had an amazing experience and I will definitely recommend to my friends!
