I was so happy we decided on Deering Bay for our reception location. Since the first day it was so easy to communicate with the event coordinators, especially Kathleen, who was the...
first person who reached out to me. The property is gorgeous and we liked that it was tucked away, like a little tropical oasis with the perfectly manicured golf course, palm tree lined street, and roaming peacocks (I was even able to get some into the wedding photos!). The forecast was for rain that day, but the backup plan for the cocktail hour still looked beautiful and it worked out well. More than anything, THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! That is the main compliment we got from our guests. We chose to use the buffet option, and several of them went back for seconds. They were so accommodating and sweet to us and our guests, I would definitely recommend!
From start to finish, the staff at Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club treated us as if we were lifelong friends. Our daughter's wedding was fantastic! They made sure that every las...
t detail was perfect. Not to mention how beautiful the grounds are. Kathkeen, Sandra and Jessica are incredibly talented and so professional. We highly recommend that you consider this venue for tour wedding.
Deering Bay Yacht club is so amazing it was the most beautiful wedding ever the ceremony was outside on the gold course and the reception was inside their main dining room. It was ...
the most beautiful venue! Kathleen was great to work with and super helpful. The food was so delicious. It was the wedding of my dreams! I highly recommend and have told several friends and people at orange theory to look into it!!!
This venue is one of Miami's hidden treasures. Not only is the location beautiful, the service is outstanding, and the food is top-notch. Kathleen was absolutely amazing, taking ca...
re of every last detail and helping us from the day we booked the venue through the end of the evening on our wedding day.
We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding than Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club. The food was incredible, the staff was professional and the service was top-notch....
But truth be told, what really makes Deering Bay an exceptional place to have a wedding – or for that matter, any event – is its event coordinator, Kathleen Phang. From booking the venue, to planning the party, to coordinating with the vendors and even providing fun suggestions for the reception, Kathleen made the process seamless. Although the website lists Kathleen as the “Director of Catering,” Kathleen made us feel like we had a private wedding planner – a role which she certainly did not have to take-on, but did so because she really enjoys her job (which is obvious from the first time you meet her) and takes it seriously.
Deering Bay: Whatever you are paying Kathleen, you need to triple it! Your venue is beautiful and your food is great, but the true value in having a wedding at Deering Bay lies in getting to work with someone as professional and organized as Kathleen Phang. She is truly a wonder-woman!
Our wedding at the Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club was nothing short of magical. From the initial meeting all the way to the day of our wedding everything was meticulously prepare...
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!
What an amazing, unexpected location for a wedding. Miami is a big city but it seems weddings are held at the same handful of places and I wanted something different. When I toured...
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!
Deering Bay truly made my big day special. The staff was great, and took care of every detail. My guests are still talking about, "the best wedding food they've ever had". We initi...
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!
We recently celebrated our wedding at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club. Our wedding guests cannot stop complimenting the beautiful property and facilities. It is very well kept and...
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! :)
The wedding was beautiful. The food was amazing. The chef at Deering Bay was able to deal with multiple food allergies!! That alone made the night perfect.
Beautiful venue and such welcoming and accommodating staff. Kathleen works for the venue and was our wedding planner. She made sure everything ran smoothly. Prior to the wedding, I...
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!
I got married at the Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club and it was perfect. Kathleen made sure everything ran smoothly from the very beginning helping me with every detail. The day...
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.
I held my wedding at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club in April 2014 and everything was absolutely perfect! I was the annoying type of absentee bride- living and working in Californ...
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!
