Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club

d. Our wedding planner, Kathleen was phenomenal. She took care of every detail and made our special day stress free. The chef and staff are all top notch. I have already been recommending the Deering to all of my friends who were just engaged!

the location all I saw was a blank slate with such potential and a staff that was eager and willing to make my day amazing. It was such a pleasure working with the crew at Deering. They were available to address all of my needs, answer all of my questions, and accommodate all of my requests with such professionalism and care. I felt so relaxed putting so many of the details in the hands of the staff because I trusted in them. They coordinated seamlessly with outside vendors and the day of the event I had no worries because I was in good hands. The food was incredible and all of the guests raved that it was far beyond typical wedding fare. The wait staff was professional and congenial and on top of everything to perfection. My husband and I felt like king and queen and our guests felt like royalty. The entire property served as a beautiful backdrop for pictures and is the epitome of Miami landscape and beauty. I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding and more intimate experience. I recommend this location to everyone and my family and friends still rave about their experience. Thank you Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club for giving me the most amazing experience a bride could ask for!

ally were going to have the ceremony outside but with Florida's unpredictable weather, the rain came down. This didn't put a damper on the event. The Deering staff didn't skip a beat. They moved the ceremony in to an inside location. They blew me away with how great they made it look. My husband and I were so glad they moved it in. We wouldn't have had it any other way. I would highly recommend Deering Bay for any large event or wedding!

beautifully decorated. We cannot say enough about the overall professionalism displayed by the staff, especially Kathleen. They made our special day even more memorable by their politeness and quality of service. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

portive. They really made the stressful parts of the process just that much easier! :)

was able to have my vendors meet there together in order to have the best idea of how things should run and look. Kathleen was at all those meetings and took notes on everything. I could not have been more happy with the results the day of. Everything looked beautiful and just as I had imagined it. Gorgeous, palm tree lined entrance into the location, where my husband and I took some of our favorite photos and then rode a small golf cart for other photos throughout the property. The actual ceremony took place outdoors, just before sunset, with trees, ocean and sailboats off in the distance in the background. The reception hall was a great and beautiful balance between elegant (the interior setting) and chic (the canopy setting decorated with soft fabrics and small lights). Highly recommend this location and wedding planner! Especially since it may still be one of the lesser known and more unique venues in Miami! Won't be disappointed!

of everything was ready, organized, and beautiful. I had no worries. The staff is friendly and took really good care of our guests. We did a brunch themed wedding and people still rave to me that it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Venue is absolutely beautiful and is top notch. From the moment your guests drive past the gate the will know they are in a very special place. I highly recommend.

ia, and relying on my mother and DBYCC staff (in particular, Kathleen), to get everything arranged! And it all went off without a hitch! One of the things I loved most about the venue and staff is how everything was already so lovely and taken care of- for example, I had no need to rent chairs as the ones they have are gorgeous gold backed chairs (for the ceremony). Same thing with linens and silverware- ivory and cream, which is classic and beautiful. We had roughly 100 guests at the wedding, and the staff did a great job at making our numbers fit the venue- so it did not feel cramped or too spaced out. The food is delicious, and I wish I had been at cocktail hour to sample the appetizers, but I heard rave reviews! Dinner was excellent (as all dinners I have had at DBYCC). I went with a buffet option, because I am not a huge fan of myself and others being told when to sit down, when to eat, etc, and it was beautifully done. I loved that the dinner options came with desserts as well! I shopped out several venues when deciding, and looked at several "standard" miami venues- the Biltmore, the Collonade, the Four Seasons- and I felt Deering Bay was able to offer us a gorgeous, intimate venue which had the best value. I also felt that my experience working with Kathleen, the events coordinator, felt like having my own built in wedding planner that I did not have to hire for additional cost. She is so sweet and caring, and on top of all aspects of the event! She coordinated with all my chosen vendors to make sure everything was delivered/set up appropriately (cake, dj, photo booth) and was there the day of and made sure all the timelines went perfectly! Overall I could not have asked for a better day, and importantly for me, I felt that my money was well spent!
