Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables

I cannot say enough on how beautiful this venue was. This was always y dream venue and Shelley made it happen for me. My original wedding venue cancelled on me 3 months prior to my date and I went the same day to see the Colonnade and Shelley greeted me with open arms. She made everything so easy and seamless and answered any questions I have. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was super supportive of us. The venue itself is amazing and unique but the staff made it that much better. Working with Shelley & The Colonnade really was the dream. Everyone raved about the Hors D’oeuvre's and entrees and the signature drinks were delicious. It truly was amazing!

We had our wedding at the Hotel Colonnade and it was truly the best day ever! It was truly the wedding of our dreams. Patricia made sure to always answer my calls and emails and give me the best recommendations on any questions that I had. She is absolutely amazing and is willing to coordinate with you on whatever you need. All the guests that attended our wedding could not stop mentioning how amazing the food was and how beautiful everything looked. The staff at this hotel truly make you feel special on this day and treated us like family. Each of them made sure that everything ran smoothly. I recommend anyone and everyone to do their wedding here as everything turned out AMAZING!!

If I could give the hotel, staff, and wedding coordinator Patricia 10 stars I would!! I could not have booked a better site to host my wedding reception! I got married on November 9, 2019. From the beginning, Patricia was great to work with. She helped us create a package that included food, drinks, cake, DJ, linens, flowers, rentals, drapes, honeymoon suite, getting ready suites for the bridal party, etc. Let me tell you that all her vendor recommendations turned out to be wonderful! On the day of my wedding, the concierge staff was excellent in helping coordinate guests, providing our rooms on time, transporting things, etc. The food was amazing! We served churrasco, rice pilaf, and vegetables and all my guests complimented how great everything looked and tasted! The rotunda was breathtaking when all set up. Patricia even had a bottle of champagne and strawberries waiting for us in our honeymoon suite after that party! The hotel overall was amazing. They made my wedding wonderful! I highly recommend the Colonnade for your future wedding or event!

Where can I even begin with this review? To begin, the venue itself is absolutely breath-taking. I had known about this hotel since I was a little girl, who by age 13 had my entire wedding planned out: venue, dress, flowers, etc. Despite it's grandness, with the right lighting and professional vendors hired for flowers and linens, it doesn't take too much to decorate it beautifully. That is, because seriously the structure inside is so gorgeous by itself. The food is simply perfection. The tastings this hotel organizes are group tastings with other couples getting married and that was a wonderful experience within itself. I went with my now husband and my parents and we had a blast. My guests were floored by the food and service of the hotel the night of my wedding. Last but absolutely not the least, the catering department. I'm trying my best not to exaggerate because I'm obviously very satisfied with my experience but I cannot say enough good things about Patricia, the catering director. I seriously called her my fairy godmother throughout my entire process because she was an incredible source of comfort and pure joy throughout my wedding planning. Every phone call with her would calm any nerves or stress that even began to creep in. To me, she was really the reason I selected this venue. Even though I had always dreamed of getting married here, I never really thought it would have ever been feasible. My husband and I are a young couple and we had always wanted to pay for our wedding ourselves, we had been saving diligently for a while because we always knew we wanted a quality wedding but wanted to ensure that the venue we selected had everything we needed and wanted. Without going into too much detail, the first day we met her, instead of just turning us away or treating us any less because of our age, she took the time to carefully review what could be possible with our budget and just like that, everything we talked about in that first meeting happened. No hassle or intimidation, just wonderful customer service. In other words, this woman is so experienced and professional that she was able to give us an amazing comprehensive quote that took into consideration everything - so that, in the end there really weren't any surprises. My husband is a numbers guy and let's just say I'm the dreamer, so from day one, the three of us openly discussed my ideas, the available budget and just like that... Bippidi bopiddi boo! All my dreams come true.
