DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay

as a big selling point for me. It was super convenient that my bridal party was able to get ready within a few steps of the venue. Adriana Rader the catering manager was very attentive and responsive to all our needs. The vendors that she recommended that were included in the wedding package were great and I was very happy with how the day turned out.

the actual wedding. They really delivered an exceptional service and were always on hand with any questions or concerns we had throughout the planning stage. It wouldn’t be a wedding without a few hiccups and glitches. Like I mentioned previously, we got married on 3/14 of this year. The day before our wedding, there was so much talk of event cancellations and the city (and practically the country) shutting down. Adriana did an extremely great job of keeping me calm and assuring me that our wedding was going to go on. Long story short: the wedding was the wedding of my dreams and I have the team to thank for that. The food was amazing, the timing and care they took was exceptional and really, the most important, the way they treated my family and I was something I will never forget. The bridal suite provided was also a highlight and they surprised us with some goodies. I highly recommend them.

about the space, we happened to stumble upon it after a rigorous online search for budget friendly venues with a water view. The Catering team was extremely professional, friendly and responsive to our questions/concerns. We had our initial tasting in November and were very impressed with the quality of the food and the presentation. Everything was delicious so we felt comfortable moving forward. On the actual day of the ceremony the catering manager was on site to ensure everything went smoothly. The food was awesome and everything came out hot, well presented and promptly. Service was impeccable there were no delays at all between courses. We really appreciate that the staff were very attentive to us as the couple and kept our drinks flowing all night long.

as definitely very good food. My room was beautiful and everyone catered to us. Thank you so much for everything and making our wedding memorable !!

She was so attentive and responsive to all our questions and our needs. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married!

oom are second to none. The hotel staff was organized, professional, and responsive. The bell captains made it so easy for transporting things for a destination wedding.

beautiful with the port and water view in the background. We highly recommend the Doubletree to anyone looking for elegance and class on their big day!

what being kind and hospitable means. Planning a wedding can get pretty overwhelming, but she made the whole process much easier. I contacted her frequently during the months prior to the wedding and she always had the answer in less than a day. I really enjoyed the catering service, as well. All options were so delicious that was hard to pick one. During our reception, everything went as smoothly as possible, the waiters and waitresses were extremely professional and polite. Michelle's job was perfect! Their 5 stars is more than deserved. DoubleTree is unquestionably a great pick! Thank you so much for making our day so special!!

the chef. Special thanks to Adriana Rader for all her help over a year, putting together the wedding of a lifetime!

yne Bay and Miami Beach in the background, is also that you will count with an amazing team of experienced people with Ms Adriana Rader, Senior Event Manager at the head of it. We look at different places, some really beautiful, but you can beat all this place offers for such an amazing price. After a couple conversations I realized that letting them do their part was ok, I just needed to do mine, and it was fun! They reply almost immediately to every email and phone call, answer every question and cater to all our requests. The list of vendors they offered is on point, we use them all except the DJ (we used @soundcrashersc ) The day of the party, Michelle the event manager follow the timeline impeccably. The person in charge of the ballroom rearranged the cake table and some of the seats just minutes before the party, they set up the tables beautifully together with Beatriz from A Blooming Touch. And the food! The chef did such an amazing job our guests are still talking about it! Special mention to the bartender, pleasant and willing to custom the mixes, he actually pulled all the Mojitos from scratch even grinding the mint individually in each glass!! We were able to enjoy the party worry free and at the end we were welcome with champagne and chocolate cover strawberries in the most beautiful suite (included in the package) All in all I highly recommend this venue. And hope to celebrate again there soon!

the hotel, they were extremely accommodating and made me feel at ease. The food was absolutely everything. I wish i could have taken some home. The staff, the food and the willingness to make sure our day went smoothly is something my husband and i will never forget. I honestly just want to come back so the chef can whip me up a good meal LOL. The space was very open and spacious but it also felt intimate at the same time. (Our Party was about 80-85 people). Definitely highly recommend getting married here! Thanks team for all your wonderful help! Lejla & Ryan

y parents, we found the DoubleTree, we had our first talk to Adriana, the senior catering manager, and it just felt right, she is very organized and loves to keep on track with details, and trust me, you need someone who takes care of details because there is so much to do the day of the wedding that you get lost. She made space in her agenda to show the ballroom to my fiance, which was the last step to say yes to the venue. Adriana is very kind and would help you as long as she can. My husband to be and I decided to change the menu and added a dessert table last minute, Adriana always listened to our requests and never gave us a no as an answer, she spoke to the chef and suddenly everything was approved. Later on, we met Michelle who was going to be the catering manager on the day of the wedding, her punctuality and professionalism were incredible, she also had a smile on her face all the time, inspiring confidence, so you feel relieved of any chaos. We hired a decoration company outside their suggested vendors and Adriana and her team got along with them with no problem. Let me tell you! Everything was stunning! Once, we entered the ballroom we were surprised, the dessert table was gorgeous and the taste was amazing. The cocktail area was beautiful, nobody complained about not having the change to try the appetizers or drinks before dinner. Dinner was delicious and the different kinds of cocktails and drinks surprised our guests. The cake was made by Todo Dulces, one of their vendor, I LOVED IT. Our guests were very excited and satisfied. On the day of the wedding, we got lucky to be served by Luis Felipe, he is such a sweetheart plus he took care of us so amazing, always making sure we ate and drank water or cocktails before anyone else, our glasses were never empty. He treated us like royalty, I couldn't stop thanking him. Also, if you are having family coming out of state like us or a destination wedding, Jessica would be more than glad to help you, she even helped me to reserve the suite for the night before the wedding to get ready with my bridesmaids in the early morning, and if you don't want to book a room, don't worry! They give you a Hair & Makeup Bridal room. They also give you a suite for the night of the wedding and set champagne and strawberries with chocolate for your new hubby and you. The process was not as stressful as I thought it was going to be, the team at the DoubleTree make it pretty easy, whether you have a wedding planner or not, they would be very happy to help you. I just remember feeling glad and grateful for choosing the DoubleTree, I still feel that way. I would highly recommend them, not just for weddings but for any other events you would like to celebrate. Dear Future Brides, Give it a try! You won't pick wrong. Thank you DoubleTree for being part of our beautiful day.

that, we were out of town. Adriana helps us coordinate with everything we need for the day and it came out perfect. Overall, I highly recommend this venue!

fet was awesome. The chef really went all out!

ng about above and beyond! The cake options are from Miami's very best cake makers! Adriana showed us the location as many times as we needed prior to booking till I was satisfied, went over every detail of the contract without hesitation, was responsive to answer every question any given day throughout all of our planning EVEN when she was off work. I never once felt unattended by her. She was tremendous help with layout accommodating every request. The tasting was exquisite the VERY BEST food I've tried at a wedding! We opted for the filet mignon & french chicken as the two offerings and the fondant cake from Divine Delicacies. Chivari chairs were included which were perfect and elegant, lots of fantastic linen colors to choose from. The cheese table was so delicious that it quickly disappeared bc our guests loved it so much I have no pictures to prove it existed but it was fabulous, the hors d'oeuvres were so amazing my guests can't stop speaking about it. Drinks were also FABULOUS the bars wouldn't stop flowing with alcohol! Nothing broke everything was in order beautiful and done in a timely manner, exquisite. The ballroom looked perfect and my guests had such a wonderful time that they're asking me when the next party will be. As far as us as a couple, Adriana had our fave drinks ready upon arrival and a selection of all hors d'oeuvres for us to try prior to opening the ballroom for our guests. The room included was a beautiful left corner on the 7th floor, spacious, comfortable, and a bottle of champagne and strawberries with a loving note from Adriana was left for us. We received Hilton Honors points for our event as well and for the rooms we booked for our families. All my vendors had a pleasant experience with the hotel. Any small discrepancy or question throughout the year I spent planning or day of the event was dealt with the upmost professionalism and solved in an efficient manner. I will certainly highly recommend The DoubleTree Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay and most importantly Adriana Rader as the very best location for a wedding reception in Miami. They give you the best value for your money and their customer service, quality of food, beauty of venue, quality of service by every waiter and person in this team is 100% 5 stars. I would choose them over and over again! It was a pleasure doing business here! I look forward to referring others so that they can enjoy this great venue too! Forever thankful! Our wedding was a dream come true!

hly recommend booking your wedding at this venue, you truly won't regret it. Everything went so smoothly, the food and beverages were great, and the entire set-up was beautiful. Planning a wedding is so stressful, expensive, and exhausting, but working with them definitely took the edge off it all. Thank you for all you did!

hole wedding and breakfast. Everyone loved the outdoor area and the view was beautiful. I cant say enough great things about this hotel!

ral different food allergies of family members. They were able to provide options to meet all of our needs, and helped make our day special.

guests had a great time and the staff made everything during the event as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend hosting your event at this venue.

tail hour to dinner. I couldn’t not be enough of the food and neither could my guest. I really liked how there were always two bars open at any given time. Working with Adriana was a pleasure she responded to all my emails and questions super fast. She gave me advice on vendors and helped me decide where things should be located. I knew that if I emailed her a long list of questions, she would answer me within a couple of hours. I would 100% recommend a wedding or any big event at the Doubletree by Hilton Grand.

time that we met with her 6 months prior to the actual wedding day, she was there making sure that all the details were met and over exceeded our expectation. I can now understand why and how they have been #1 according to the KNOT . Thank you Adriana and the DoubleTree for making the process so seamless for us and going above and beyond. I hope that I am fortunate to work with you again in the near future! xoxoxo

nd had to plan many things via email and telephone. Adriana Rader was wonderful to work with. She was super helpful and very accommodating since we did not live there locally. The food was so delicious (and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding) - it was very flavorful and was served warm. The staff was VERY attentive and helpful. Adriana and the rest of the team were a pleasure and delight to work with - they made our day that more memorable and enjoyable! We would do it all over again!

wedding package provided is at a great value. This would have been a 5-star experience if it weren't for the terrible experience we had post-wedding party, due the hotel's overall bad management & maintenance of hotel rooms. We arrived at our room after our wedding party and we had all our things there already from their in the day. We saw that the AC was not working well and there was water leaking from the ceiling the bathroom creating flooding and unsafe environment. We grabbed all our luggages, I was still in my wedding dress and the only room available was in the Condo section. After we settled down in this new room in the Condo, we found the carpet to be very old and my now husband had really bad allergies to it and nose clogged up- we couldn't stay in that room. Then, we had to go downstairs AGAIN and switch rooms for a third time. This one was not a suite, much smaller standard Queen bedroom for our Wedding night. To top it off we ordered breakfast the next morning at 9am and called several times to complain until it finally arrived almost at noon. There were misunderstandings due to us moving in the middle of the night and had several people knock on our door asking us to check out since room appeared vacant in the system. It is definitely was not the way we planned to end our wedding night and we were looking forward to spending it in the Corner suite - which we finally got as our 4th room on the following day. As you can imagine, moving four times in between two days was a big headache especially with the amount of luggage and things we had from the wedding. We also experienced a lot of delay in ordering room service during getting ready at the Key Largo room and had to complain several times for the breakfast and lunch to arrive as we were on a schedule- both took almost 2 hours to arrive. It is a shame that the Wedding Planning team & service is 5 stars, but overall hotel Service/Accommodations is 1 star! Hence, my overall review for this venue for a Wedding is 3, due to all the trouble we had with the rooms and food service.

ceptional day of staff.

taking. Totally recommend this venue

hotel and spoke with Adriana and she made my wedding happen exactly how it was planned. Being far did not make a difference because of how efficient she is and everyone in her team. From planning, to the food, drinks in fact everything. I did not have a wedding planner and I definitely did not need one because with Adriana and the reat of the team your wedding will be perfect. Not just us but our guests kept saying our wedding was one to remember. We are beyond happy and cannot wait for our pictures and video. We could not have done it without this great team.

professional throughout the entire process. She answered my emails immediately and was always willing to help. Everything was beautiful and I wouldn’t change a thing.

enior Catering Sales Manager, Adriana Rader, and her wonderful staff. I truly felt so at peace the day of the wedding as every detail had been taken care of beforehand. My guests were so impressed with the venue, coordination, staff, and food. The food for the wedding was amazing and kept receiving compliments even weeks after. Do not hesitate to book this venue!

tions we had. They also checked in with us throughout the reception to ensure we were happy with everything. The food and service were impeccable - our guests were so impressed. We can't say enough good things about our experience.

a perfect event. They were outstanding.

onderful to work with. Adriana Rader and her team did an amazing job in communicating, working with us, coordinating our set up, working with vendors, and walking us through all that we needed to know to have such a beautiful wedding. Adriana was responsive to phone calls and emails, site visits, and quick to find answers and solutions to any and every question and request. She was a real pleasure to work with as she took the pressure off of me, the bride, and helped to implement the vision we had created for our special day. Adriana also worked very closely with her assistant, Ashley, who was able to step in and support seamlessly, as needed. The team is really stellar and they work so well together. The chef was on point and was also able to create a menu that was not only diverse and presented well but also absolutely delicious. The feedback we received from our guests was that the wedding was beautiful and in particular, the food was spectacular. We agreed as we enjoyed the day and our day was as perfect as can be. There’s honestly not a single thing we would change. I highly recommend this venue and this team to help bring your wedding dreams to reality. You will not be disappointed.

our patience and hard work during the entire process and for making our wedding unforgettable for all the guests and specially for us, it was everything we dream and more.

wn wedding, I didn't hesitate or look elsewhere. I knew that was the place for me! They offer a ballroom that's perfect for a small wedding, but can also accomodate a large party. With stunning views of the bay and Miami Beach, it's definitely a romantic and memorable place to host a wedding. The staff is AMAZING! Adriana and her team are one in a million! Banquet Manager Freddy is a dream to work with. They aim to please and definitely pass that mark. They are knowledgeable and help guide you in the right direction, always making sure that all your needs are met. The food is INCREDIBLE! We offered a French Chicken or Filet Mingon option to our guests, thoughtheir menu has a lot of other plates to choose from. Our guests did not stop raving about the food. The cocktails were spot on and the bartenders made a mean mojito! I always reccommend the DoubleTree Grand, Adriana and her team, and their vendors to everyone who asks me for guidance. They have never let me down and my wedding was even better than I couldn have imagined and they made that a reality.

just outstanding.

our questions, and really went out of their way to help us pull everything together. Our wedding turned out exactly the way that we envisioned it, and we could not have picked a better venue!

being able to have some outside aspects to our wedding the DT offers exactly that thanks to their ocean view terrace which the view is breathtaking. We also opted out of having our ceremony at a church and had our ceremony on the outside terrace. BEST IDEA EVER! We did very little decorating (chairs, runner, 2 column with a floral arrangement on each, and a simple alter with 2 floral arrangements at the corners) and it looked amazing thanks to the backdrop. Adriana the catering manager is AMAZING!!! and soooooo patient! I know I continuously emailed back and forth with her for the year and a half and she answered all my questions and was so easy to work with. That is the exact person you need when planning something so hectic she is amazing at what she does! The food is unbelievable!!!! All my guests have not stopped raving about the food (filet mignon and salmon were our meal choices). I am not a meat eater and I have never loved a dish more than I did there. The chef is on another level the food was at the perfect temperature when it got to the table, the presentation was perfect and of course the taste was perfect. We also upgraded to have caprese salads. My husband who does not like tomatoes loved the salad! We also added late night bites (angus burgers, milk and cookies, and mini cuban sandwiches) they literally went flying our guests loved them all. The milk and cookies was by far the favorite since the DT is known for their amazing cookies (try them and you won't regret it - they are delicious we had guests taking 4-5). The open bar was amazing I did not get one single complaint about the drinks being too strong too weak or tasting bad. We made signature drinks and they were delicious, shots were also a part of the open bar which our guests really enjoyed. Another amazing thing was the service at the DT. We are speechless everyone we encountered was so pleasant and strived to please us as much as possible. One big plus is that right after the ceremony they make sure to have a waiter or waitress with a platter of appetizers waiting for you once you are done with the ceremony and while you take pictures. One waiter named Luis who I am guessing is the head waiter (and if he is not he should be) was amazing!!! He was so sweet and took the time to get to know us. We met him at our food tasting and we loved him we were so excited to see that Luis would be a part of our wedding to serve not only us but out guests! Once again, another member of the DT was great! The only negative to mention was the valet, if you are not aware the valet service is not part of the hotel but a third party so it is not the DT's fault but I think they should DEFINITELY consider a new company. Their current company is pretty bad. They gave me a hard time when it came to validating parking and for the free parking for the BRIDE AND GROOM for the rehearsal (seriously?!?!?!). They were rude, dismissive, argumentative, its their way or no way. I argued with them on the night of the rehearsal and the day after the wedding. I had to go back to the lobby to get the hotel to deal with them. Luckily, my guests didn't tell me they had issues.

ach. First off, Adriana Rader, the Banquet Manager was super attentive, accommodating, professional, and prompt with her responses, and made sure that everything leading up to our night would be perfect, and let me tell you it was. We also did the rehearsal dinner there and the food and service was amazing! The night of our wedding, everyone was giving awesome feedback on the great food, the premium open bar, and how breathtaking the room looked. When I tell you I reviewed and compared almost every venue in the Miami area, The DoubleTree Grand Biscayne Bay came out on top, not only for location, amenities, but overall exceptional value. With the 126 guests we had total, it was well worth, and a lot less than other similar hotels and venues in the area. We did the ceremony on the patio and it was spectacular, they even had a back up plan in case of non-ideal weather (this is Miami afterall), but luckily the weather was perfect and the ceremony came out beautifully and accommodated all of our guests. For the reception itself the room looked beautiful and even with 14 tables, never felt cramped. We also booked room blocks with the rooms manager, Jessica Rosario, and she made it easy to ensure our out of town guests got accommodations at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Adriana and her staff at the DoubleTree, from the complimentary room stay for the wedding night, to the complimentary bridal suite that the bride and the bridesmaids got ready in, everything was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better night!! Thank you so much Adriana, we have nothing but rave reviews for you, your team, and your lovely venue, it truly was an unforgettable night!! Durel & Julia Jones

d and more!

The food was delicious with a generous serving. (My personal favorite was the Salmon). Our guests and family commented about the superb service and graciousness of the staff. If you want to have an unforgettable wedding, have it at the Doubletree!

n't. I am so grateful and amazed on how everything turned out. There service was exceptional. The food and drinks were spectacular, couldn't have asked for more. They went above and beyond my dreams and expectations to make everything so perfect. Adriana simply the best, so easy to communicate with. Amazing customer service, they make you feel like a million bucks even though I was a bride on a budget, worked with me through everything. I am beyond happy with everything. Definitely recommending this place for the wedding of your dreams <3

e attention to detail and service provided by this venue was impeccable. All of my guest enjoyed every moment of the party from the décor, location, service, and food. Adriana listened and was attentive to all of the details and my concerns and assured me that their venue would be able to cater to the most pickiest palates. The servers were patient and very well-mannered and did not rush the guests. I can assure anyone who's reading this post that The Doubletree Grand Biscayne Bay delivered their promise. This venue is beautiful and the view over looking Biscayne Bay Marina below was quite impressive. This is a 5 star venue that I would recommend to any bride or family looking to have a spectacular event. I especially loved how the chef was versatile and able to cater to international audience. Many venues cannot accommodate to these request. My menu was catered to my taste and my guest were raving about the food. Thank You Adriana Rader and the entire catering staff of the Doubletree Grand Hotel. Also special thank you to Jessica the Hotel Manager for working with my party and accommodating the beautiful clean spacious suites with spectacular ocean views. You guys are an elite team of professionals from the beginning to the end of the event planning process. I usually do not write reviews, but I could not be silent. You all deserve more than 5 stars. You helped make my dreams come true. Thank you. A.J. Mornay

ustomer service and easy to work with, jeven with last minute changes. Freddy, the banquet manager, was awesome as well, taking care of every single detail before and during the event. The food was delicious! And the entire banquet team was nice, with good manners and excelent customer service. I have no words to express my gratitud to Adriana, Freddy and their entire Team. They truly exceeded our expectations!

, asked the right questions, and followed up with any action items. You truly feel like you are the only bride she is working with. Food: We were so worried about how the food would taste, because we did not enjoy the food that we selected for our guest during the food tasting. We told the chef to make the chicken tender, change the sides, and the sauce we wanted for our salad. The day of our wedding, our food was delicious. We received many compliments from our guest. THANK YOU!!!!! Cons: Day of wedding communication: I paid for an extra night to stay in the hotel the night before. Imagine a bride waking up, and not being able to find your coordinator (Adriana) to address the concerns of your vendors. The secretary told us she will not be in until later, so my party and I had to improvise until Adriana arrived at 1 pm. Once she arrived, she solved our problems. Parking: THE ABSOLUTE WORST. Adriana was nowhere to be found to provide the discounted parking vouchers for my vendors who left before 1pm (So we had to paid $30 for the vendors instead of $10). When Adriana arrived, she stated they needed a blue ticket for discounted parking. This was not communicated to us prior to our wedding, and the tickets were not visible for any of our vendors. I thought this issue was fixed, but my other vendor faced the same issue when leaving the venue. Tip: Make an announcement during the reception for the guest to get a discounted ticket for parking and get discounted tickets for your vendors the night before. Directions for our guest: Limited directions and signs were provided to my guest to find our wedding in the hotel. Adriana explained that there was a sign on the reception desk, however, the reception desk is not the first desk you see upon arrival. This hotel really needs to improve on internal communication with other employees. Location for pictures: After the ceremony, they aren’t really nice places to take pictures except for the docking area with all of the boats (crowded with people). Aesthetics of venue: When we saw it in person, we knew we could have done better, but honestly, it is worth the price. It truly depends on your taste. The aesthetics were not on the top of our list. Over priced rooms: Most of our guest stayed here spending 200 a night, but you could definitely find places or venues where you could get a package deal for guest. The room block was 10 dollars off the room and if your guest did not book, you are responsible for paying for their room. Ceremony: We loved our ceremony at this venue because it was on a terrace overseeing the water. However, it is really narrow, and we had a large bridal party, so we were tightly compressed. If you have a large bridal party, it may be best to have them to sit. Rehearsal and food tasting schedule: Wedding rehearsal and food tasting can only be done on Thursdays. However, if no one books the venue on the Friday before your wedding, then Adriana will notify you a week before your wedding. Tip: consider out of town guest Overall, our wedding was the best night of our lives, and would book this venue again if we knew what we knew now.

tleman whose name I forgot, so sorry!) all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great event. You can tell they've done so many events because they are consummate professionals. From the very beginning, Adriana and her team were responsive, kind, and helpful. Adriana or Zaita would respond to e-mails within 24 hours (usually sooner) and were always available to meet in person. Adriana, her team, and the head chef were also very accommodating with our requests, including customizing an excellent vegetarian entree (more than just the boring pasta primavera) and including a special order beer in the beverage order. They also provided a secondary conference room to stage items and get ready the day-of and they kept our centerpieces locked in their offices to make sure they would be safe until the event. The night of the event they entire staff was kind, polite, and super prompt. They even ensured that the bride and groom had our own server and plates of hor d'oeuvres available during the cocktail hour. And whoever decorated the tables made them look so beautiful! Just having the linens and table settings alone would be enough. My one complaint (which isn't even a complaint) was that they were a bit too quick to clean up drinks from the table. The food was DELICIOUS (seriously, people were impressed) and there was just so darn much of it! No one went hungry that night. My one true complaint is about the woman who handles block rooms in the hotel. She is very unaccommodating and honestly, the rooms are not worth the contract and price. Many of the condos are available on Airbnb MUCH cheaper so I would definitely look into that for your out of town guests. Also, keep in mind that the Food and Beverage minimum that you must guarantee DOES NOT include tax and service charges so you may get a bit of sticker shock when you sign the final papers 3 days before the wedding. Overall, you cannot beat the view, the location, the food, and the service of the Doubletree Biscayne Bay. Adriana runs a tight ship and you won't find any Miami venue as beautiful as the Doubletree for the same price.

ne was having a good time. the service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the drinks were insane, Everything was fabulous We Highly recommend the Doubletree Grand Hotel venue .

le party planner and decorator, every detail far exceeded even our most unrealistic expectations! We had the most incredible experience working with Adriana Rader, the catering manager. Every step of the way, she was patient and accommodating. We were not always the easiest bunch, but Adriana was graceful and kind, making everything extra special and trying to meet our needs, wherever possible. My new husband and I are immensely grateful to Adriana, and everyone at the DoubleTree for making our wildest fantasy a reality. Our special day was perfect thanks to them!!!

was the one that helped with the most of the planning make sure everything was as expected.

d at our wedding – and that is EXACTLY what we were hoping to achieve! Adriana Radar and her staff truly give their clients the VIP treatment from the moment you call to schedule your first visit. Also have to give a huge shout out to Freddy and the catering staff. The food and drinks were absolutely AMAZING! Could not have asked for a better selection of hor d'oeuvres and dinner options. We absolutely loved the outdoor terrace overlooking the bay- not only did it host the cocktail hour, but guests had the opportunity to enjoy the South Beach skyline views and fresh air. The clear retractable roof came in handy when we had a 10-minute thunderstorm (very typical to Miami summers). Overall, we could not have been more thrilled to have our wedding at the Doubletree by Hilton Grand Hotel in Biscayne Bay! Thank you for the incredible experience!

the perfect place for my daughter's special day. The beautiful terrace that overlooks the water and beautiful Miami iconic bridges. The flexibility that even if it rained, the terrace doesn't get wet and you still enjoy the beautiful views is a huge plus. Once you enter the ballroom, I envisioned that perfect day with our family and friends and that is exactly what took place. From the vendors that are preferred on their list and now I know why. The decorations from International Party Designers were top of the line. Our theme was Moroccan and everything from the gorgeous drapery to the lanterns on my daughter's main table, the tablecloths, candles; everything was purely perfect. Another extremely important item is the food. We chose a buffet for the kids and a sit down dinner for the adults. Both, top of the line, truly delicious and everyone was satisfied and impressed with the taste and presentation. Anyone that has ever planned a party of this magnitude knows that when you have people to work with that you trust, support and guide you is the utmost experience while you are in nerves. I truly found that in Adriana Rader, her team of professionals and I will be truly grateful for the experience and amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Sincerely, Sandy Hernandez, Miami, FL

aff during the event I was told by the guest were extremely nice, and the food was served promptly, and the lines at the bar were short. The only negative about the banquet hall is a large column that is in the middle that doesn't allow certain tables a good view, but otherwise the balcony with the bay view is nice. That is why it gets a 4 instead of a 5 for me, as well as the hotel experience which I will review below. To begin with the blocking of rooms was annoying, because I had to continuously tell them how many more rooms after the initial 10 rooms I agreed upon my guest need, this made me literally the travel agent. Secondly the double charged my credit card for the valet. The people in the front desk need to be retrained, the service the front desk provided was not even close to the doubletree/hilton quality. They were actively painting and fixing the 8th floor, and they still placed guest in the floor that wrecked of paint. The hallways, multiple times had marijuana throughout, and one of the guest rooms wrecked of marijuana as well. The AC to on the guest room did not work, and it wasn't until the next day they were able to change the room. Then there is the extremely rude and not helpful valet people, that don't allow you to park your car 5 minutes to allow the bell boy to bring down a van full of stuff, without yelling at you. My suggestions: Book the banquet hall at the double tree, it is cheaper and has a nicer view and Adriana is very helpful, but book your rooms next door at the Marriott, they actually know how to run a hotel.

staff did everything in their power to make sure that the wedding went off without a hitch. To her and her staff, my hats off to you. I would recommend this hotel for group events as long as Adriana is running the show.

aughter and I along with my guest were treated like royalty. The event came out spectacular. Thank you again for everything, Ronnie Hufnagel

everything was a mess, the contract was always wrong (they would tell us one thing over the phone/in person and the contract said otherwise) etc.... But with Adriana, the whole process was hassle free. She was very friendly, regardless of the amount of emails I would send her as we got closer to the big day. I could visit the venue as many times as I wanted, even with my family, and she even worked on weekends, which was better for my husband and I because of our work schedules. The food of the venue was really good too!!!! Being that we are both Argentinean, she surprised us with a traditional sweet (alfajor), we still had to pay extra for it but it was still great. The day of the wedding was amazing, everything turned out as expected. They treated us amazing, always asking us left and right if we needed something. We were on a budget so most of the things from the wedding (center pieces, table numbers, venue decor) were provided directly by us and no third party, plus we didn't find the need to have a day of planner, Adriana let us take everything to the venue so her team could set it up for us instead of having to pay someone extra or have a family member help. That was very nice of her and it really did help us out a lot, we turned everything in with directions as to how and where everything went and her team set it up exactly like it said. We totally recommend Adriana and her amazing team. Over all, we think that if you take into consideration everything, the beautiful ocean view location, staff, food/drinks, free suite and wedding cake, the pricing was affordable!!!! P.s: The Double Tree cookies are delicious!

n to every single detail. They made suggestions, they respond all kind of questions and concerns. Adriana is spectacular, very nice, very efficient, very professional. She was there for us during the 11 months of the planning. Food was amazing, Freddy the catering manager and the chef are outstanding. We had 13 rooms booked for our guest and all staff was very easy to work with. Extremely happy :)

ly gorgeous and all of our guests were loving the view from the reception. The food was delicious, we heard nothing but great things about the food from our guests. My husband and I loved working with Adriana Rader and her staff to coordinate the catering, the rental equipment, and the cake/flower delivery on the day off, logistics were flawless! She was extremely kind and patient with us throughout the entire planning process, which we so appreciated since we were traveling from Louisiana to have our wedding in Miami. We also worked with Jessica Rosario to coordinate a hotel room block for our guests. She was super pleasant to work with and extremely flexible with all of our guests. All of the vendors that we used were familiar with the venue and with Adriana, which made things easier on us to coordinate with everyone. It was definitely the best decision to choose the Doubletree for our rehearsal dinner and reception, great quality service for the best price in the area. Thanks for making our wedding absolutely memorable for us and for our guests!!

guests seemed to be just as happy as my husband and I were, they raved about the food and the awesome venue. If you enjoy great food, the view of the bay and the city, as well as work with humble and accommodating people, the Double Tree Grand is the great choice. Trust me, you will not regret it.

night. Moreover my husband and I were extremely satisfied with the staff, starting with the coordinator Adriana Rader who was amazing since the beginning of the process until the day of the event and after, very pleasant, thoughtfull and helpful, made everything run smoothly. I would recommend this place to everyone, all my guests were talking until this day of how beautiful my wedding venue was and how exquisite the food tasted. Thank you Adriana again for making our day so Special!!!

and her staff were true professionals. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend Adriana and her staff for your wedding.

e food was amazing, and the ballroom looked like a dream! Adriana the catering manager was so sweet and patient with me and my million emails and questions. I do not have one regret about how my reception went. The wait staff was so nice! The wedding was suppose to end at 11pm and my crazy guest were still dancing by 11:20 and not one person rushed us out or told us to leave. It's 4 days after and I am still on cloud 9! I would 100% recommend this venue. Also a tip I'd give that helped me a lot is to look at the other weddings done at the Grand by searching DoubleTree Biscayne Bay on Instagram. This helped give me ideas on how to decorate and also showed me vendors that are familiar with the ballroom.

ing planning process. From every email responded in a timely manner, to every question/request addressed quickly, Adriana has so much knowledge on how to make a bride feel at ease. I can't describe how I felt when they walked us into our decorated space on our wedding day. It was spectacular! Adriana and her team brought our vision to life and we are forever grateful. The food was delicious, the bar selection top notch and the service incredible. Our wedding was the happiest day of my life because of her and her team!

. The food was awesome and the value didn't break my pockets. My guests are still raving about what a wonderful weekend and event it was.

generous. The service was outstanding. We looked at several other venues in the area and the Doubletree gave us more bang for the buck. However, until you have your event you don't really know how that will translate. I can honestly say that we couldn't find anything to complain about or be disappointed with. I would definitely recommend this venue.

g view of the Bay and Miami city lights. We had our ceremony at St. Patrick's Catholic church which was less than a 10 minute drive over the causeway. After the ceremony, our guests headed to the Doubletree for the cocktail hour and reception. It worked out perfectly! A big thanks to Adriana Radar and her team, who really went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered. They made the whole process very easy and enjoyable for us. Another big thanks to Jessica Rosario for assisting us with the room block and treating our family and friends so well! Everyone was pleased with their overnight accomadations. We would highly recommend the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay for your next big occasion! Stephanie & Matthew

ever thought it would be. Along with all the preferred vendors on the list. Such as International Party Designers and Mercy Suarez from VIP Productions. Still today my guest can't stop talking about the main course and how delicious it was. Adriana if you read these, again thank you so much.
