I just got married in Briza on the Bay last Friday (July 5th 2024) and it was the most amazing wedding ever. Nelly and her team were absolutely incredible. Everything was spectacular, all of our guests LOVED this place, the view by the ocean, the cóctel hour was outside and we had the sunset and EVERYONE told us the food and drinks were AMAZING. We are so blessed we found this beautiful place. Nelly was always so responsive and nice, her staff did an amazing job. We did our religious ceremony, cóctel hour and reception in Briza, and it was DREAMY! We had it all in once place, if you are a Bride to Be this is your best option, believe me you won’t want to have a dozen of vendors, in Briza they take care of the majority, seating, food, drinks, wedding cake, and so much more, and the quality of everything is A+. I highly recommend this place and trust me YOU NEED NELLY, she is a sweetheart and a rockstar. Thanks for everything! I will remember this day forever!! We had the best day of our lives!

Briza on the Bay was an exceptional wedding venue and partner throughout our entire wedding planning process - from our first meeting to our wedding day and the day after. The staff is extremely professional, personable, and wonderful. Our guests cannot stop talking about how incredible the food and venue was. The venue coordinator, Annelys, is a gem of a human and you would be SO lucky to have your wedding at Briza and hire her as your coordinator or planner! Briza was the best choice we could have made and we are ecstatic with this team, thank you again for making our day so special AND organized!

My husband and I highly recommend Briza on the Bay for your wedding! We are a military family living about 10 hours away and Nelly, Harry, and the whole Briza Team were absolutely so easy to work with. Nelly and Harry are the best coordinators and they will make your wedding day feel at ease and take care of all your needs (instantly). Myself, my husband, our families, and all of our guests felt that they were so sweet, efficient, and personable. The guests loved the food (portions were large and delicious), the beautiful venue along the water, and the service. They have the the nicest staff from the light/audio person, bar tenders, and servers. The location of this venue is perfect. It is right along the beautiful marina, walking distance to various hotels and Trinity Cathedral (where we had our religious ceremony), and also located near a hotel mall where all of our out of state guests were able to eat, drink, get their nails/hair done, and hang out. I can go on and on about how Briza on the Bay made our wedding day a dream! We HIGHLY recommend this venue and having Nelly (Nellysevent) be your next wedding coordinator.

Wedding of my dreams! I first saw this venue on the Knot and immediately fell in love, but of course I had to see it to be sure. From the moment I stepped on property, I just knew. This was where I was going to get married. And it was perfect!!! Harry and his team went above and beyond for us from the very beginning to the last second. They were so good to us, really. The food was phenomenal too! The service was so great! Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience working with Briza on the Bay. Gerry is extremely personable and explained the packages to us in great detail. We worked with Nelly as our day-of coordinator and she was available to answer questions promptly and clearly. It is evident that she is very organized and cares a lot about couples and their experiences. She had a lot of great suggestions to make our day smooth and was a pro at running the rehearsal and putting the day-of timeline together. The guests RAVED about the appetizers and main course dishes. The food was one of everyone's favorite parts of the wedding. The location is beautiful and the venue is able to re-arrange the space to accommodate many different setups. My husband and I are so thrilled we got married at Briza!

This venue is beautiful. The food was delicious, I keep hearing from my guests that the chicken was the best they have ever had at a wedding. Harry & Nelly are very helpful too. The day of servers and bartenders were also very attentive. My guests really enjoyed our wedding at Briza.

I wish I could give a million stars for this venue. Gerry and his team are the absolute best wedding vendors I worked with throughout the entire process of planning my wedding. From the first time I contacted Gerry, he was extremely responsive, patient, and kind. When we finally met to tour the venue, we were blown away by the beauty of the venue, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of not only Gerry but his entire staff. Gerry went above and beyond at every single step of the wedding planning process to ensure that my husband and I were happy with the experience his team was delivering…and let me tell you, we were. On the day of my wedding, I worried about absolutely nothing as Gerry and his team took care of everything EXACTLY as planned. In fact, several of my wedding guests commented on how outstanding the service and food was the entire night. Because of Gerry and his team, I will have the most wonderful memories to look back on. You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue!!!!!!!!
Thank you Gerry and all for everything you did to make my wedding day PERFECT. I am forever grateful.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to host our wedding! From the location, to the staff, to the day-of service, Briza contributed to an unforgettable experience. Nelly, Gerry, Carrie, and Solomon were quick, knowledgeable, and pleasure to work with every step of the way. Our guests are still raving about the exceptional food and service during the reception. A special thank you to our dedicated server Chris. He is so full of life and went above and beyond his call of duty. He helped with our photoshoot, made sure we were fed and hydrated, and even danced with us. Thank you so much Briza for making our day so amazing!!

Having our wedding reception at Briza on the Bay was truly a wonderful experiencing. Gerry and his team were amazing to work with. From the initial tour and pricing, we knew that we were going to have a great experience. We didn't even bother to keep looking at other venues, we moved our date so that we could book Briza. YES they're that amazing. It was important for us to have a venue with both indoor and outdoor space. Nothing beats the Miami skyline and bridge during cocktail hour. They were reasonably priced for the great quality service. Whatever we needed, they were on top of it. The tasting at Briza was so fun. The chef was very nice and great to work with. We wanted late night bites, but not necessarily what they had on their potential menus - so they made it happen. The food was a hit! The liquor was great and the space itself is so gorgeous. I loved my experience with Briza.

We looked at several venues to have our Wedding. We had 3 must have when choosing a Venue; it needed to be by the water, great food and good liquor. The moment we met Gerry and toured the venue we knew we needed to have our wedding at Briaz’s. Gerry and the staff were absolutely AMAZING!!! The venue is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean and the Skyline.
Gerry worked with us in every way possible. The food was great; everyone spoke highly of it. Honestly, I wish I could relive our wedding again, that’s how amazing Gerry and the Brias staff made us feel that night. Our venue turned out beautiful.

From the minute I spoke to Gerry I knew my wedding day was going to be phenomenal. (The champagne he served at the first meeting helped)
He worked with my budget and made my wedding a day my entire wedding party will never forget. We choose the Caribbean buffet meal option and we had the wedding ceremony in the hall. The scenery from the outside into the hall is amazing at night. Hailey was the event coordinator for the night of the wedding and she did a great job keeping the flow of the event seamless to my guest. I'm still getting rave reviews for the food that was served. I highly recommend this venue!!

The most beautiful venue in Miami, hands down! We had our wedding here in August and we were absolutely in love. Everything from the location (amazing view of the bay) to the food, the space and the fantastic staff that helped us in every detail was amazing. The food was fantastic as well, our guests did not stop talking about it for weeks! When you get there ask for Gerry and Nelly. If I could do it I’d do it here all over again.

I cannot thank Briza on the Bay enough for my cousins wedding this past August 2019. Every stage of the event process was so easy. Gerry the Director of Sales truly worked with our budget and although this was a small wedding, made us feel important and made all our requests happen. Hailey our event manager was so attentive and made herself available for all our needs like coming in on her day off for our wedding rehearsal. The Chef also worked with us on our special dietary requests and the brides wishes to incorporate edible flowers to one of the entrees and also put on a lovely dessert station. As someone whom has worked in the event industry the last ten years, I have to say that “Briza does it right!” They were a dream to work with. Gerry, Hailey & Chef we cannot thank you enough for Priscilla & Carlos’s Special Day!!! Warm Regards, Monica Tafur (Moni)

Having my wedding at Briza on the Bay was the best decision I could have made. After looking at Briza I did not have to look anywhere else. The venue is so versatile that they can really capture whatever vision you are looking for. The windows from the ceiling to the floor allow for a gorgeous view with great natural lighting. Our ceremony was inside, cocktail hour outside, and reception inside. They flipped the room during the cocktail hour so efficiently and beautifully. Everyone was amazed. We got to work with Jeannine to put together our wedding! Jeannine is so amazing! I don't have enough words to describe how great she truly is. She was kind and really wanted to ensure that we were happy with every decision we were making. She was always quick in responding and her calm demeanor allows you to stay calm. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us! Now the food...the food was fantastic! Everyone complimented us on how delicious the food was! The staff at Briza are extremely kind and attentive. They ensured that my husband and I as well as our guests were tended to throughout the reception. The bartender was amazing and quick! Everyone loved her! Overall my experience at Briza was the best experience and everything about Briza contributed to the amazing wedding I had that my guests can't stop talking about! Thank you Jeannine and Briza on the Bay for making my day special and exceeding my expectations!

My experience with Briza on the Bay was truly the best! The day of the tasting we were highly impressed with the food they were going to serve and were curious to see if it was going to be as good the day of the wedding, and they exceeded all of our expectations. Every guest was raving about all of the food.
The venue itself looked gorgeous. The lighting made the reception area look romantic, and mixed with the flowers and chiviari chairs, everything was a dream come true. The cocktail hour was down by the water, and the dangling lights, with the lit up bar outside looked beautiful.
The bartenders were extremely nice and fast at all times. As well as the servers and everyone working the wedding. We have zero complaints about our experience and our time spent working with Jeannine (our coordinator). We truly recommend Briza on the Bay for a Miami wedding or event. You will not be disappointed!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! Briza, Jeannine (the sales rep/coordinator), and the staff we’re beyond incredible. We had our ceremony in the marina during sunset which was beautiful and our reception in the beautiful marina overlooking the bay. Jeannine, the rep/coordinator was so timely with her responses and always able to help with any changes we wanted to make! The food was incredible and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend Briza for anyone who loves the water, delicious food, great drinks, and incredible location near wynwood!

Flawless wedding night. The staff at Briza is exceptional from the office staff to the day of the wedding staff. The food and beverage options and selections were incredible. Their tech package allowing our DJ to play with the lighting made the reception great. Planned our wedding from 1200 miles away and Briza was there to help us along each step of the way.

My husband and I loved our wedding venue! The decor looked beautiful in the event space. The night ran smoothly and the planning process was simple and organized. Jeannine was our coordinator, she was responsive and helpful during the planning process and helped create our vision on the day of! In addition, the food was deliscious, all of my guests made comments about how good the appetizers and entrees tasted. The servers were great, they interacted well with guests and had positive attitudes. The bartender (I’m not sure her name) was on top of her job! She kept the drinks flowing and was able to keep up with all of the guests orders. Several guests complimented her drinks and service throughout the night. All in all it was an unforgettable night!

Carlos was there on our wedding day and made sure everything went smoothly which it did. We all know when attending a wedding that the food is one of the most important things. The food at Briza was spectacular. All of our friends were raving about how delicious every course was. Briza is such a beautiful venue.

after going to over 10 venues I decided to to have my reception at Briza, here are the reasons why:
1. View without the extremely price-tag of a place like Rusty Pelican
2. Price; comparing it to other venues and what was included was at the top of my list
3. Attention; Jeannine was amazing! she helped me thru everything the day of and throughout the night of the event.
4. Food was delicious.

My name is Luly Pascual-Cabrera and our Wedding was on Sunday-October 8, 2017 at Briza on the Bay and it was absolutely perfect.
Briza is the place to have your special event, the food and service were excellent and our planner Joseph Castaneda was wonderful from the first day we went to book our Wedding there with him, any questions I had he would always answer them and was very nice to deal with. The venue is beautiful over looking the water and the whole experience with them was exactly what we had both dreamed of. If you are planning an event whether it be your Wedding, party or a Quince please look them up and ask for Joseph, believe me you will be very happy with them as we are.

We had a 14 month engagement. When we came cross briza, the venue itself was exactly what we were looking for! The venue is the perfect blend of sophistication, party, fun and elegance. Bria offers wedding packages that are affordable and fair priced, especially considering how expensive miami can be for weddings. They also offered us incentives that made such a great impact on the wedding itself and out guests! From the very beginning we worked with Jeannine. When i tell you, she is absolutely amazing, there will never be enough words to express how wonderful she is as a person, and at her job! She was with us every step of the way and you never felt bad for asking too many questions. She was always very comforting and she truly helped bring our dreams for a wedding, and make them a reality!!! By the end of the wedding, you really feel like you have made a new family member, she is that wonderful!!!! Great work ethic, expertise, and personality is so humble, caring and personable which is HUGE aspect for a bride who has so many things on their plates!!! Briza always did what they could to make sure the bride, groom and their families and guests were happy and they offer so many small different details that truly make that night the most amazing night of your life! i would most definitely recommend ANYONE getting married down in miami to take a look here! For 14 months it was nothing but amazing moments there. The venue itself is gorgeous, its basically an open space so the canvas is yours, however they have everything you need there to make it your own special night! It has big windows that outlook the bay so its beautiful as the sun is setting.
Now--the Food is PHENOMENAL! Normally guests go to weddings and complain about the food, but my guests ranted for a week after the wedding how much they LOVED the food. (one of the things i fell in love with even more with the venue was the food tasting, the food is THAT GREAT!) they offer so many different varieties of hors d'œuvre to choose from which was so fun to pick! My husband is cuban puerto rican, and i am american so there was a perfect blend of appetizers for cocktail hour for both sides of the families to really enjoy themselves. The entree's on the other hand are absolutely out watering!!! so if you are a foodie like us, TRY BRIZA!!!! (their bar selections--we had the top bar selection--and it had amazing liquor selections as well!!!--one of our other favorite parts of the wedding!)
again, if anyone getting married in miami, and are looking for a wedding venue, LOOK NO MORE! I looked at about 10 different places and when i walked in baiza it literally hit me---THIS IS IT! it gives you the classy wedding, yet fun all in the same space!!! we loved it and thanks to jeannine, baiza and their entire crew, they helped make our special night an absolute dream come true and there are not enough thank you's to really express how perfect our night was thanks to them!!!

We are more than happy to have chosen Briza as our wedding venue. Jeannine was always super helpful and attentive. We had the ceremony in Trinity Cathedral which was perfect for all the guests since it's a 3 minute walk to Briza. Everybody can't stop complementing the delicious food and the excellent service. Everything was flawless. When we walked in to the cocktail hour everybody was already having a great time. Carlos the banquet captain was the best! He was always taking care of us, making sure we had a drink in our hands, the cocktail he made for me was delicious! The servers were excellent, all of our guests couldn't believe how well orchestrated everything was. The bartenders were spot on. They kept all of our guests well hydrated lol, even when almost everybody went to the bar at the same time they didn't miss a beat. All of the food was presented exactly as beautiful and delicious as the day of out tasting. The chef did an excellent job. All in all we made the right decision in choosing Briza as our wedding venue,(which it was the second and last venue we saw) our night was magical and we have beautiful memories to last us a lifetime. Thank you Jeannine & Carlos! All the best always, Alany & Carlos

We had an amazing experience with Briza on the Bay! The entire staff was great from the first day we went to visit the venue- up until the day of our wedding! Joseph was our coordinator and he was pleasant every single time we had to communicate. He was always helpful and most importantly, he never panicked under any circumstance. His positive, can-do attitude is exactly the type of person you want to work with during stressful situations. The rest of the staff that worked the night of our wedding were also all very pleasant and a joy to have around. During the cocktail hour and reception, the manager that was on the floor, Carlos, did a great job of keeping everything running smoothly. The staff were polite and always smiling. My husband and I highly recommend Briza on the Bay for a venue!

The service and details received from Jeannine Mayers at Briza along with Frank Sanabria my wedding planner was amazing. People can't stop talking about the awesome time they had. They loved the gorgeous waterview venue along with the delicious appetizers, dinner, cake and drinks. It was perfect and stress free. My fiancee was totally impressed. He said he loved the fact that we had our own personal waiter who kept the drinks and food coming throughout the evening. Jeannine truly made my dreams come true when others found it impossible to do. She is the best!!! The decor and flowers were magical. Thank you Frank Sanabria for being an incredible wedding planner and going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend you get with Jeannine who will patiently assist you with all of your needs for your special day. She rocks and Briza on the Bay is exquisite!!!

Briza on the Bay was a host for an amazing wedding RIMAS FILMS had an honor to film! The venue is a true gem in the heart of Miami. Not only, because it has enough space for a lavish ball wedding, or that it offers jaw dropping views, that would make outstanding background for your wedding venue. Most importantly the venue gives its undivided attention to one event at a time and it really shows! The staff is always polite, respectful and prompt. The catering was spectacular quality and if any hiccups appeared through the day, they were resolved so fast no one noticed. Briza on the Bay is the only wedding venue in Miami you need to think of when choosing a host to your spectacular day!

We couldn’t be happier in our selection of Briza on the Bay as our wedding venue. While planning our destination wedding in Miami we knew we didn’t want the typical hotel ballroom, we wanted a modern venue with a Miami feel and Briza was just that. We were able to have our ceremony at Trinity Cathedral conveniently located next door followed by our cocktail hour outside on the Briza on the Bay marina and our reception inside.
Our coordinator at Briza, Joseph Castaneda, was above and beyond amazing. Joseph was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. From start to finish Joseph made sure everything was perfect for us.
One thing we especially loved about Briza was how many custom requests and changes they let us make regarding our décor setup, time line and menu. Many venues are quite strict and don’t allow many changes at all beyond the standard offerings. With Briza we were able to add an additional “pasta course” to our reception dinner, layout our exact floor plan and furniture setup, bring in an outside vendor for a mini dessert station, and extend our party to 2am. Thank you Briza for hosting our wedding!

A M A Z I N G!!!! If we had to use one word to describe the venue, food, service and staff at Briza on the Bay, it would be AMAZING. From our initial contact with Jeannine, the sales rep/coordinator, we felt confident in our decision to book this venue for our 10 years vow renewal. Jeannine was very patient and accommodating with our many requests and changes to guest count. She made great recommendations that aligned with our vision and budget. Jeannine always returned calls or responded to emails in a timely manner. She would sometimes reach out to us before we could even think about reaching out to her for something that we had been discussing amongst ourselves and our planner. The banquet captain, Carlos, was just as friendly and professional as he was for our tasting. He ran a tight ship with his servers and they never missed a beat. The food was served fresh and hot. At the end of the night Carlos carried our cake's top tier as he walked us out and went to personally request our car from valet. Talk about first class service! During the night the bartender, Kylie, kept the libations flowing and our guests hydrated. We were very pleased with our signature drinks (Jeannine's recommendations) and our guests were impressed with them as well. Overall, we were extremely elated and beyond satisfied with our experience with Briza on the Bay. Perfect venue for a smooth execution of any meticulous event. (3/16/17)

Our wedding at Briza on 3/11/17 was absolutely stunning! Joseph was the best party planner and his staff was superb! I am so happy that we were able to celebrate our big day at Briza. The view was breathtaking, the food was divine, and the decor was magical! By having our wedding at Briza, our guests received white glove treatment. They valeted at the marina, greeted with our signature drinks (Seangria and Swipe Right Mojito). Thank you Briza!!!! I will always cherish the wonderful experience!!!

All I'm going to say is that Joseph was amazing and even though he was not my planner, as my event coordinator at Briza, he not only went above and beyond but he was the main reason why we chose this venue. Even though the venue was too large for our 70 guests, I felt that me and my hubby were in good hands. Hands that we could trust. Pricing was perfect for our budget, did not have to worry about hiring a caterer as they have their own. In fact, the chef at Briza is a former chef at Chef Michelle Bernstein's restaurant. We work in hospitality and our standards of food and service were very high. They succeeded! Cake is part of their package. We got a a complimentary bridal suite at the Marriott Biscayne Bay which was a promotion and we highly enjoyed. Again, Briza is for the couple that is into food and great service! Not to mention the view! It overlooks the Bay and South Beach! We loved having our wedding here and so we hope all you future brides enjoy it as much as we did.

Briza on the Bay was the only venue that we looked at. After a walkthrough we knew this is where we wanted to get married! We didn't want the typical ballroom with carpet and no windows. The view is DIE TO FOR! Briza is a modern venue with hard wood floors and floor to ceiling windows overlooking Biscayne Bay. It has that WOW factor and Miami feel to it! It's truly a stunning venue. The space had everything that we were looking for; uplighting with state of the art sound and lighting. We had our cocktail hour on the patio at sunset and ceremony on the marina. It was truly magical! One of the most important aspects of a Jewish wedding is the FOOD. The food at Briza is DELICIOUS, outstanding! Our guests were raving about how amazing the salmon and filet mignon was. Joseph and the owner Boaz went above and beyond to make us happy. The service was exceptional; the staff was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I and our guests were taken care of. I highly recommend Briza On The Bay! - Daphna Jericho Rubin

Outstanding venue! From the beautiful waterfront location to the food. Everything was perfect! Joseph did an incredible job, even walked me to the church (next door, not part of Briza) and made sure I looked perfect for my gran entrance. During the reception Carlos made sure I had a glass of champagne at all times and a warm plate to sit down to when I was ready. Both Joseph and Carlos were very attentive to myself, groom, our parents and bridal party. The evening was absolutely perfect! Thank you Briza!! -Vane & Uly

I had my entire wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) at Briza on 4/26/15 and they delivered exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious, the view is spectacular, and they gave me exactly what I wanted. Joseph was great throughout the whole planning process and a pleasure to work with.
