Aqua Reception Hall

have chosen a better venue to tie the knot! They are basically all-inclusive and have vendors that they work closely and cooperatively with, this takes an ABUNDANCE of wedding planning stress away. Seriously, this place was a dream come true! They made sure everything was taken care of and everything was delivered and done in a timely manner. Their attention to detail and ability to listen effectively and remember everything that you say, was exceptional. The decor was BEAUTIFUL! Very elegant, intimate, and personal, as you are allowed to choose everything exactly how you’d like it to be. And, most importantly I must not forget, AFFORDABLE! They will cater to every budget and still make you feel like a celebrity! When I say that Jackie and staff went ABOVE and BEYOND, they did just that. For example, I wanted to toss a different bouquet from my own, but forgot to bring it. In 5 minutes, they had went and made me one specifically for tossing so I had NOTHING to worry about that night. I will have event after event at Aqua Reception Hall, and HIGHLY recommend them for any celebration in your life!

ing to life. Like any event, there are things that arise and I was glad we were able to work through them: - Most staff don't speak English but they provided a translator - All decorations must be taken home the night of your wedding so make sure you make arrangments in advance - Never been to a venue where they charge you an extra fee for an inflatable photo booth. Still, it's worth it if you're going for the look. - Food is average but that's not important in the grand scheme of a good wedding (liquor and good music) - Flower bomb (cenfetti) is epic - find a way to add it. Great photo opp. - Hire a wedding planner outside of the hall, they are more of event day execution team

tasting, every aspect of my day was handled via email and/or telephone. My coordinator Jackie was exceptionally helpful with every detail and anything you want, they'll try to make happen. This venue is very affordable and accommodates your budget, and offers amazing payment plans. The decor was simply beautiful from the flowers to the table settings. The food is delicious and served hot!!! So many menu options to choose from that its sure to be something you love. So if you're wondering about this place as a destination venue, LOOK NO FURTHER! This venue is your one stop shop for a Fabulous Wedding Day!

recommend the chicken Florentine with their glazed carrots with mashed potatoes, it was a hit with my guests! The cake from E&M sweets was delightful as well as the decor. The hall provides a glamorous scene for any bride to be to be happy. The DJ Alex played really good tunes throughout the party. The party planning process was a breeze. If you consider to do your bridal shower, take AQUA into consideration, you will not regret it!

d Aqua Reception Hall and spoke with Jacqueline. I can truly say from start to end Jacqueline and Aqua RH have been AMAZING! Nothing was too much trouble. Jacqueline was professional at every step of the way and communication with her and Aqua was first class. Every query we had was answered promptly and professionally. Everything was perfect on the day from start to end. Our ceremony was outside and looked amazing. Jacqueline took so much care and attention to ensure our wedding day went smoothly and it did! She was calm and nothing flustered her. She is just great. The catering staff were all great and the food was delicious. Me and my husband even ordered 2 meals! Jacqueline knew exactly what to do and the staff on the day were also amazing. We used their recommended cake designer, photographer and DJ and they were excellent. I could go on and on and on. Thank you so much for all your help, guidance, support, time, effort and professionalism which ensured our day went smoothly and without any problems. I would highly recommend Aqua Reception Hall to anyone who dreams of a perfect venue and perfect wedding day. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

special accommodations and they were so helpful. Jackie went above and beyond!!! Even responding to urgent messages when she was out sick. No matter how many events she had going on she always made us and our concerns feel like a priority! The venue was amazing. If there is anything I would have done different it probably would be to use my own photographer instead of the one they provided as I didn't love how my pics came out. But other then that the food was good, the staff was excellent, and I was really able to have my dream wedding here! I totally recommend this place!!!

rovided to us by the entire AQUA team. Wow! So blessed to have had this experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! If you work with the Aqua team, my advice is to trust them. They are the experts. They know how to put it all together for an experience you will not forget. Best wishes!

mpany was going thru (hiring & firing) however at the end of the process I was finally able to work with someone (coordinator) that stayed longer than 1-2 weeks and she was a great help! Jackie was prompt and has great service . Didn’t care too much for the photographer in which they include in their package , not very prompt or helpful. Overall everything was ok

reception. We didn't have to worry about anything. We had a ROYAL experience. Everything was organized as requested and promised. Aqua's professional staff and vendors are top notch! Most importantly, Alex because the ceremony and reception flowed smoothly and perfectly. The food was tasty and good! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

dijo mami este es el que quiero, quedas impresionado cuando lo ves, pero sobre todo la atención que recibes y el profesionalismo de todo el equipo de aqua, la coordinadora de mi evento fue Lina, excelente persona, siempre muy amable, aclaró todas mis dudas con mucha paciencia durante todo el proceso, Angela también fue muy amable, mi hija y toda la familia e invitados quedamos muy contento. Excelente decoración, la comida riquísima, DJ, MC, foto both, hora loca todo excelente. Gracias Lina, gracias a aqua Recepcion hall.

nd Gabby and staffs are amazing!! With so much other things to stress over while planning out my wedding, I am happy Aqua took the stress out of the majority of the planning. Thanks Aqua and Staff for an amazing DAY!!! If you are looking for an unique Venue, with awesome food, decor, and staff choose Aqua Reception Hall!! Stacyann and Darnell

ed. Until Ruben proposed to me last November. We immediately started our search to find a venue where we could host both our wedding ceremony as well as our wedding reception. We searched many beautiful venues and halls in Miami but we both fell in love with Aqua Reception Hall. From the moment we walked in for our first appointment to see the venue and packages they offered, not only did they treat me and my fiancée with respect and professionalism, they had a lot of patience with me considering I always visited them with my two boys. The moment you walk in the venue, you fall in love with it. Lina, thank you so very much, for working with me and around our budget. Not only did you guide me throughout the process, you made sure I had no doubt or questions regarding any and all details of my wedding. I took your advice on our linens, and thank you for the suggestion, our wedding reception looked fabulous. Claudia, thank you too for your patience. You have an amazing mind for décor. My wedding ceremony was gorgeous and flower arrangements were beautiful. Thank you for including those extra floral arrangements which were not included in my package. That was awesome. The food was incredible that evening. It was exactly what we had hoped for. Not only was it tasteful but the food came out hot. Our guest keep talking about how great the food and appetizers were. The service was amazing, Luis, our head waiter was always attentive to our needs. Ruben and I never had to ask for a beverage. If I could remember everyone else I would include you in this review. Our wedding ceremony and wedding reception amazing. An overall great experience. I know I was not easy to deal with at times, but we are returning from our honeymoon and wanted to say thank you and share this review with Aqua and others.

utiful this venue looked for our daughter’s quinces. My wife and I found the venue searching wedding sites, therefore, I thought it would be appropriate to write on this site. She wanted a Paris theme, and AQUA gave us more than what we expected. The staff starting with the sales associate(Samantha) to the general manager (Lina) and all the vendors, not only had the patience and professional courtesy to deal with us but made our daughters dreams a reality. The food was amazing and very tasteful. The venue went out their way to add some additional items which were not included. Thank you so very much. It’s the small details that make the difference. The music, lighting, decoration, photo booth, and staff were amazing. Our coordinator said we had nothing to worry about that evening, and that is exactly how it happened. My hat’s off to Lina and the rest the team at AQUA. All of our guest are still raving about our event.

os fueron muy amables y profesionales. Definitivamente se les recomiendo a todos.

plan everything. Everyone at Aqua is a experienced professional in my opinion, beginning with Samantha and ending with the waitresses who were great that day helping out out guests. The food was something I kept working about but even that was amazing, our cake was awesome, the music was perfect. I can definitely recommend Aqua to anyone who wants to have the wedding of their dreams!!

g flowed seamlessly. I had two hiccups at my wedding, my photo-booth stop working about 30 mins after setup (which I received a refund on site) and my food choices where wrong (my bad for not clarifying with the staff that my contract had been updated with the correct food choice). The food was still good and no one complained. My wedding was 20 days ago and people are still talking about it!!

with. Aqua offers virtually an all-inclusive wedding experience. They made the wedding-planning experience so simple and no-fuss. The price was very competitive and fair. Aqua took care of everything from food, flowers, decorations, the DJ, emcee, and notary. They really took a lot of tasks off our plate, and it was much appreciated. The day went on without a hitch. All of our guests had fun. Aqua really made our day special and memorable. We would recommend this place for your wedding, reception, or other event.

able to accommodate with our time and schedule. At the day of our appointment, we met Samantha and were blown away by her knowledge of the industry. She was able to guide us on what was needed throughout the whole process and unlike other banquet halls we had visited, she was very accommodating on what we needed, as well as what was not needed. We really liked the fact that she was very truthful to us and advised us on not wasting money on additional things that were not necessary. We also liked the way they would always follow up with us right away, whether it was something we needed to have at a certain due date, or if it was a question we needed an answer to, Samantha would always answer back to emails, and was always accommodating in seeing us for any in-person questions we had. Claudia did a fantastic job with the flowers, and provided a beautiful bouquet. We met with her and she provided a great vision of beauty for our wedding, it was amazing how she was able to capture what we wanted and display it with flowers. The day of the wedding, Lina, who had also assisted us with choosing the linens for our wedding, was there throughout the night to guide us and assist us in anything we needed. We had two last minute changes to our menu, and guests, and she was able to quickly accommodate with our needs on that same night. We would like to thank, not just Samantha, Lina, and Claudia for everything they had done for us, but also the whole Aqua personnel. The night of the wedding, the service was one of the best ones I had ever seen, the waiters and waitresses were very professional and helpful, and the way they were able to set everything up from the ceremony to the reception was very smooth. We decided to go with the photo booth which our guest loved and had plenty of fun with. However, the best of all was the Hora Loca. The vendors they recommended were amazing and fun!! We had selected the samba girl and the gentlemen on stilts. These two individuals were full of energy and they really psyched our guest and had our party going :) If you want a stress free wedding, with lots of professionalism from all sides, and a great and friendly attitude, I would recommend Aqua Reception hall for any venue in mind. Thank you ladies for everything you did for us it was truly a memorable night. Dianis n Gio

ina for making my day unforgettable.

are all very helpful and they truly made our day perfect. All of our guests enjoyed the beauty of the space and the quality of the food and service. The DJ was very nice and played great music. We both recommend Aqua Reception Hall to anyone looking for a modern venue in the Miami area.

AQUA, we knew we had to go see it. The moment we walked in and were greeted by the sales staff who treated us with professionalism and kindness. They listened to what we wanted for our wedding, reception and worked with our initial budget. As well all I know we start with a certain budget and then we start expanding from there. Always keeping in mind, our vision, from the decor, to the tasting, to additional items we wanted to the to the final production, our wedding, was exactly what wife Monica and I dreamed off. Our compliments to the chef for the delicious food served that evening. The waiting staff was extra courteous and attentive to our needs throughout the evening. The DJ had all of our guest dancing and played all sort of music. The Photobooth was a hit. Thank you for that suggestion, all of our guest loved it. Our only small issue was the “hora loca” which came out 15 minutes late. Overall, our experience was magnificent and the quality that the venue delivers is top notch.

was decorated amazingly by Claudia & coordinated by Lina, all the way till the last second of my wedding night. When I first visited Aqua I met with Samantha. She was phenomenal, she made me feel at ease as soon as I spoke with her. This whole process was completely nerve racking for me, but she was so educated that immediately trusted in her. After that first day, I knew Aqua was the place to hold my dream wedding. I could have never imagined a more perfect evening. The decorator Claudia paid such attention to every detail. There was nothing she could not do, everything was an option. The day of my wedding the décor was just flawless. She definitely is gifted. Mike was our DJ. He is AMAZING!! My guests did not stop dancing for one second!! The only time guests sat was to eat the exquisite food that was served at my wedding. I have been to many weddings, but this plate of food was definitely one to brag about. From the polite & well-mannered service to the modernized plating of the delicious entrée. Just amazing. I could not have asked for a better wedding day. The Aqua staff really goes over the top to assure that your wedding day is impeccable. Lina, thank you for sticking by me the entire night and assuring I was fine. I was so nervous, but you really helped me feel at ease. Your kindness throughout the evening to my husband and I and our guests, we are forever grateful. Claudia, you are truly gifted. You care about the detail and making sure that my vision came alive. You showed me options that I would have never dreamt of and made the décor on my wedding day just impeccable. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for you. Samantha, you were the first face I saw at Aqua and you sold me right from the start. You are extremely educated and amazing at what you do. Throughout the whole planning process, you were there always to help me with all my crazy questions (for that I apologize haha) but you are truly great. I appreciate you. To the rest of the Aqua Staff. Your management really hired a DREAM TEAM. My wedding day was perfect because of you guys. Thank you so much!!! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU GUYS TO ALL THE FUTURE BRIDES OUT THERE WHO WANT THEIR WEDDING DAY TO BE ONE HELL OF AN EVENING THANK YOU, Ashley Resto <3

was the "coordinator" who never called me or meet with me regarding my wedding. When I called to complain how rude she was to me and my guest, her sister Clauida, the manger said she was rude because my event was unorganized. We were short 3 boutonnieres, which we paid for. When we asked to get our money, they claimed my mother, who never touched them, grabbed them and they don't know what she did with them but they saw it in the camera, which they refused to let us see. We paid for two separate food stations, both of which we were told would include enough food for our 130 guests. On the day of our event, our guests were only allowed to get food from ONE of the stations, neither of which had enough food to serve all of our guests. The serving sizes were very small We called today and spoke to the manager, Claudia. Claudia explicitly told us we were ungrateful and refused to be of further assistance.

ith us. First, dealing with Lina was an absolute nightmare. The first time we met with her, she began providing her opinion as to my wife's linen and color choices, stating that "If this was my wedding, I wouldn't use those colors." Personally, that is unprofessional and not her responsibility to chime in with what she would do if it was her wedding. The day of our ceremony, we were short 3 boutonnieres, which we paid 12$ each for. One of the groomsmen did not receive one, neither did the father of the bride or the father of the groom. We gave the DJ specific instructions on our walk out song, as well as incorporating the types of music we like throughout the event. Unfortunately, he didn't abide by any of our wishes and didn't play the music we specifically requested. When it came time to the garter and bouquet toss, the DJ told us it has to occur before dinner. My wife wanted it to happen during the ceremony, at which point his response was "I've been doing this 15 years I know when it's supposed to happen." Regardless of his experience or lack thereof, he should've been accommodating to when we wanted it to happen. It really wasn't a big deal for him to just do it later, especially because that's what my wife wanted. We paid for two separate food stations, both of which we were told would include enough food for our 130 guests. On the day of our event, our guests were only allowed to get food from ONE of the stations, neither of which had enough food to serve all of our guests. The serving sizes were very small, and had we known this, we would've either paid for additional stations or gone a separate food route all together. We called today, 04/13/16 and spoke to the manager, Claudia. Claudia explicitly told us we were ungrateful and refused to be of further assistance.

body was holy and having fun. Complements on the delicious food in still hearing. The staff were very polite and on point. Lina, Claudia, Samantha , thank you so much for everything and putting up with my calls and questions everyday for the last 2 or 3 months. The decoration, the venue, the team , everything was great! I strongly recommend Aqua for a nice, elegant and beautiful wedding. Also thank you yeni for such a nice and charismatic personality , you rocked it that night!! Tks again to all of you guys.

e experience, it would be SPECTACULAR! Lina, Claudia and Samantha are professionals and as a team orchestrated an unforgettable evening for my daughter, Sofia Francesca, family and friends. The theme was Enchanted Forest and was incorporated beginning with the cocktail hour. As my daughter and I walked in, we were in awe, just beautiful. The actual reception hall was a surprise to our eyes! My daughter was so happy… it was truly a dream come true. The décor was beyond what we could have imagined it to be. The center pieces were magnificent with tea lights, integrating several designs throughout the reception hall. The linens, tableware, china were stunning. The lighting was an extra that added to the decor and illuminated a warm glow. The attention to detail was over the top. It was just beautiful! Claudia went above and beyond with my daughter's theme and colors. The guests couldn't get enough of the appetizers! The coconut shrimp and mini tostones were delicious and plenty were served throughout the cocktail hour. The waiter and bar service were outstanding and continued with dinner, served warm, and delicious. Our Master of Ceremony, Raymond "Ray" Diaz was a professional and well prepared. Ray was also our DJ and had everyone dancing! He was great. The Dessert Table was coordinated by Lina and was enchanting and sweet! Lina listened to my daughter’s requests and she delivered exactly what Sofia wanted and more. The cake was by E&M Sweets and was lovely and delicious. Yamila Images was Sofia’s photographer. Yamila! Words cannot express how delighted we are with our daughter’s album and ALL her pictures from her photo session…Sofia loves her book which was displayed at her Quinces! We were fortunate enough to have Yamila at the night of the event and cannot wait to see the proofs. On behalf of Sofia and our family, thank you to the entire AQUA team for a SPECTACULAR, AMAZING evening that we will cherish forever!

my breath away. Absolutely everything was perfect. The staff at Aqua Reception hall helped me plan out my vision every step of the way. When things didn't sound like they would work with my theme, they gave me their professional opinion and it turned out amazing. Every question that I had throughout the planning process, they answered almost immediately. I served my guests chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.... AMAZING. The serving staff was wonderful and they made sure everything ran smoothly the entire night. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I really could go on and on about how perfect the night was. My dream truly came true... Thank you so much Aqua.

or our event that helped make that night special and unique. Our event was booked a month before the event so we knew there was little time and much to get done. My father's 70th surprise birthday party was as unique and special as he is. The event planners helped make this day an incredible memory for those of us who were there to celebrate his special day. Each and every guest was greeted by the friendly staff at Aqua. We wanted a celebration that was cozy and intimate so he could enjoy time with his loved ones, and Aqua was able to accomplish that with big and small details alike. People had a marvelous time dancing the night away and taking pictures in the photo booth. We didn't want your usually sit down dinner so we chose the stations. The food was exactly what we were looking for and nothing was left over because our guests ate everything! The cake designer they recommend is another gem! I've lived in the area of the bakery all my life and had never heard of Cynthia the cake designer but I realized I was missing out on her delicious cakes and her amazing decorating talent. She did an amazing job in creating a cake that was unique and went with the theme and colors of the party. And what can we say about the staff and servers....diligent, delightful and wonderfully helpful until the very end of the event. Everyone was always making sure we had what we needed and offered their help until the very end of our event. I'm definitely recommending Aqua to my friends and family and hope to use their services again in the future.

hing for me was the DJ that's included in the package, he is great! I go to a lot of different parties so I tend to be picky with how the DJ is but I couldn't be happier. He respected the type of music we chose and the mixing was great! Really got the party rolling all night! All the appointments/meetings were simple, fast and to the point and always got everything done with any extra questions with asked. Contract is clear and concise. When we walked in my wife fell in love with the whole space! It's very beautiful and all the guest were very impressed on how nice the décor and space was. After that we saw the prices and for what we have seen all around Miami, this was the best price for an all included package. Most places I saw were not all-inclusive and were charging $10k minimum. We booked our day asap because she already knew she wanted it here and it was a great price. Food options were also very good. Appetizers were great, when we got there the head chef offered us drinks and appetizers before we took photos inside. This was great because we weren't even sure if we were going to try the appetizers that we wanted. Food presentation was good. Full Bar was great! I had a JW Black in my hand almost the whole time lol. And I got more compliments on the bar as well. The Staff at Aqua was also very helpful the day of the wedding. We had some last minute emergencies that needed attention and Lina helped us without hesitation. Overall this was a wonderful experience! I'm glad we did it here... There was one thing I told the staff that we didn't like but it wasn't the fault of Aqua. Hopefully they can make a change or provide another vendor. The Limo Driver from Jessy's Limo service was pretty horrible. He flipped out because we were over by 3mins at the ceremony location. Made a big show while we were finishing taking our last picture with the photographer that we should be better people and be punctual. It was pretty ridiculous. But to me it was disrespectful how he was dressed. He looked like a bum from the street and didn't even wear a tie. He made my wife upset but he got us to aqua. Can't blame aqua just hope they change for future couples. We didn't let it ruin the night for us but it was a hiccup.

ered me was a lie. I desperately started looking for a new place and by a miracle I ran into Aqua and they had one opening for my wedding date. I met with Samantha the next day to discuss my needs and wants and she was so pleasant I chose to stick with them immediately. They had a little over three weeks to plan my perfect wedding and they did. Lina, Claudia, & Samantha are amazing they go above and beyond to help and facilitate your wedding day. All my guests were in awe of how beautiful and modern everything was. Thank you aqua for making my vision a reality and going the extra mile to add a few extra sprinkles on top! I would definitely recommend Aqua to anyone and if I ever need a reception again I'll come back to Aqua without a doubt. So satisfied! Lura

exible, and patient. Loved the experience. Definetely reccommend. All the guests were very satisfied and impressed with the decor and ambiance of the reception hall. Food and appetizers were delicious! And the hora loca was amazing! So thankful for making my special day so memorable!!! :)

bulous ). Our wedding coordinator was Lina ( amazing ), she guided us the entire way. The coordinator was very helpful , humble , knowledgable and patient. She made sure that I did not worry about anything and thankfully made me stress free. The entire staff including the waiting staff during the event were spectacular. They were all professional from beginning to end. The reception hall is amazing. If your looking for a modern , sleek and elegant venue this is definitely the place. Love it!!! Thank you to the Aqua family for helping to make my dream reception.

Gina Mendez

photo booth, to the dessert station, to the centerpieces, to the lighting, flowers, in conclusion: it truly was the perfect venue. I received many compliments on the decor and the food. If you are looking for a wedding venue, this is definitely the spot. -Geilyn and Frank

eception for making my wedding a very special day, the totally recommend, the dissatisfied customer will tell you that May 24 should have done something wrong because everything is totally false saying the site, I was super good to me

reception of my dreams. While I was trying to finish college in Gainesville, FL, my mother took charge of planning my wedding. My mother, a detailed-oriented and picky woman, felt an excellent customer service experience from Mrs. Lina, who is also very detail oriented and open to my mother's Venezuelan ideas and party traditions. Because I have some experience in the event planning field, I understand and am grateful all the hard work of the Aqua owners, and the respect, friendliness and professional work of Lina's staff. The day of the reception, which was on June 20, the staff was attentive and professional. DJ Mike has a lot to offer to the dance floor. He has an ability to be flexible and catches on quickly to the guests' music preferences. I may be biased when it comes to the master of ceremony, since I've only met one ever, but he was exceptional and made my first dance with my husband and my dad's dance special. The food was incredible and the photography services, which were recommended by Lina, were exceptional as well! Everything my mother and I imagined the wedding to be came to reality. I was impressed, the guests were impressed, and my mother was happy. To say the least, I would be very happy to work with the owners again. I would never agree with any negative comments towards these amicable and professional staff or the owners because I know Lina will go above and beyond to make your day special! If you are thinking about contacting this vendor, don't think about it twice and just do it. From one ex-bride to a future bride, I hope your wedding night is as special as mine was.

ing sparkled and I knew this is the place I needed to get married at and I was not disappointed! I was just so amazed on how beautiful my wedding looked! The payed attention to every detail. The centerpieces, the decorations, the food... I had so many compliments on my wedding day! Everyone loved the place. I would definitely have another special occasion at Aqua.

the food was AWESOME! Florist & cake designer were both amazing! An overall positive experience!!

and affordable place is not easy at all , the venues and hotels are really expensive and they just offer basic decorations. Aqua offers you a variety of amazing choices for all tastes. If you want to modify any detail, they will create something amazing out of your thought. I remember that when I was on my way to meet the place for the first time I wasn't really sure because it was far away from my area, but after the place was showed to me I fell in love with I, on that day my now husband and I met LINA ESPITIA, she was super kind and willing to assist me in everything I needed, she and Christina created the wedding of my dreams. I lived by my own in Miami with no family able to support me with every detail of my wedding, but Lina helped me with every detail of my wedding. My guests, family and I were really happy about the wedding, they loved the hilarious decoration, they said that my wedding looked luxury and impeccable.

etizers and food to the quality service and the amazing special effects! It was a wonderful experience all around, the planning, the attention to detail, and the execution. Thank you to all the Aqua staff
