We had our wedding reception at Jungle Island two weeks ago and we were so happy with how everything turned out! Maria was amazing to work with. My husband and I had the most perfect wedding reception. Food was delicious, cocktails were amazing and service was excellent. Prices are very reasonable and it’s a beautiful place to celebrate with your loved ones. Thank you!!!

I cannot rave enough about Aston. He is the most patient, thoughtful individual in helping plan events. Our wedding went smoothly from beginning to end, and despite any minor hiccups from other vendors, he always found a way to make it work. The overall venue turned out gorgeous and he always made sure to see us for any questions or concerns we had. He attended and was also there to make sure everything went smoothly. Absolutely wonderful!!

Where do I even begin! Kristen is the absolute greatest! She was so patient throughout the entire process and truly helped make all of our dreams come true! This venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more! Everything came out amazing! Our guests are still talking about our wedding and how good the food was and how beautiful the venue was! If you are looking for a venue with great views, great food, and a great price.. my husband and I highly recommend Jungle Island and Kristen Cuba! (:

We celebrated our wedding at the park's Lovers Perch with a beautiful waterfall as our backdrop, then had a great time at our reception with family and friends overlooking the yacht basin and Biscayne Bay. Wonderful time all around and service was first rate.

Our experience with Jungle Island was amazing! They really worked with us to make sure we could have the wedding of our dreams. We figured out a cost that worked with our budget and the staff really took the time to work with us. We brought in our own Kosher caterer. The actual place is beautiful and we could take pictures anywhere throughout the park! Great experience!

Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and a large part of that was our beautiful reception held at Jungle Island. Working with Kristen and the staff at Jungle Island, we were able to craft the wedding of our dreams. From the delicious food to the professional service and the venue location, Jungle Island provided everything we needed to give our guests a wonderful experience. Their packages were very reasonable (especially compared to all the venues we looked at nearby), and had great options for upgrades. We highly recommend them for your special day!

Had my wedding at Jungle Island in Feb 2019. It was absolutely perfect. My guests are still raving about it. I thought that was just something people humble brag about happening... but it's actually happening. We got the animal package which was a huge hit and made the wedding so fun and unique-which is exactly the vibe we wanted. Also can we talk about how beautiful this venue is? My pictures have waterfalls, beautiful tropical plants, and all kinds of parrots in them. I used to go to the park when I was a kid when it was Parrot Jungle- they still have some of the macaws that I have pictures with from when I was a kid, and those same birds are in my wedding photos now. It was so special and I'm so thankful that the staff helped to make that happen. We had a brunch wedding and the food was incredible- it's probably the thing we got the most compliments about. Kristen was my Jungle Island contact and I freakin loved her. She helped me find an amazing florist, was always easy to get a hold of, and generally just knows what she's doing and is really good at it. The rest of the staff at Jungle Island were also really wonderful. Weddings are stressful- but I don't think I stressed about anything venue related. If I had to do it all over again I'd pick this venue again in a heartbeat.

What to say about this place?! It was amazing. Carmen, our wedding coordinator, did AMAZING! She was able to give us a tour with just hours notice. When touring, she just had to mention waterfalls and show us the flamingo lake, and I was SOLD! She was prompt in responding to my never-ending emails. She definitely helped planning a wedding from another state and made it feel so easy! This venue was all-inclusive (open bar, catering, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, cake). They all did an amazing job. The food was incredible, WAY BETTER than I would have ever expected and really unique. Carmen allowed vendors to go in earlier than usual to set up for the event and vendors had MULTIPLE people willing and ready to help! The captain, Sara, did amazing at staying for the entire event and even helped with clean up! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You guys made our best day even more magical!

We absolutely loved the Treetop Ballroom and most of all we loved working with Aston. We have no complaints. Everything was beyond what we expected. Aston was amazing and very accommodating. We couldn't have appreciated him more. Everything was beautiful, the food was great, and everyone had an amazing time.

We had our ceremony on the Verandah which is beautiful and outdoors (but with a roof). You can see the city from here and the green scenery from the park. Our reception was held in one of the ballrooms. The service was outstanding and the food was great. Aston and Mercy are awesome at their job. They really know what theyre doing. Our wedding came out just as we planned. We payed for the Summer package which included the cake, flowers, and the Dj (anything extra you wanted to add, you just had to pay the difference). In the end, we had a beautiful ceremony and a super fun reception!

I cannot thank enough Mercy, Steve, Mauricio and the rest of the staff at Jungle Island who worked so hard to make our wedding as amazing as it was. EVERY little detail was perfectly executed, from the set up of the room to the delicious food and cocktails. The service provided by Mercy and the rest of the staff truly helped us accomplish our DREAM WEDDING. THANK YOU!!!

Aston has a way of making everything work. He is the most patient, and accommodating individual and truly reflects the good-hearted nature of his staff. From the ceremony to even beyond the reception, I had not a worry because Aston and his staff took care of everything as planned. I did not even use a coordinator throughout the entire planning process. He was always accessible! He even answered my call once while he was on vacation out of the country!! He remembers all of the minor and major details. He definitely goes above and beyond! Most of the Miami vendors are familiar with him because he has been in the wedding industry for years and they had nothing but great things to say about him and Jungle Island. This made coordinating between the venue and the vendors seamless. I cannot thank you and your staff enough Aston! You truly made our day a dream come true!!!!

Stacey was my coordinator at Jungle Island. She was so on top of everything! In fact the entire staff at jungle island was impeccable. When I had my tasting the chef came to greet me and asked if I liked the food. When it was time to walk the isle Stacey had it planned perfectly so I wasn't waiting around outside while the wedding court made their way down the isle. I had some issues with my Dj and Stacey did all she could to help. She was there the whole time to make sure everything was perfect! My guests raved about the food and venue. I had a beautiful vintage wedding and the staff at jungle island did all they could to make our day perfect. Jungle Island was perfect! I believe I got the best value and service. Thanks to the staff, especially Stacey!

Stacy the wedding manager is absolutely amazing! She was so attentive, so professional. I felt like she was part of the family. I beleive she went above and beyond her job duties. Her staff was so wonderful and polite for the most part. Everything went off without a hitch. If you need to find any vendors, they have a list of reccommendations for vendors who specialize their services just for this venue. I used almost all of the vendors they listed, and they were all wonderful as well. The food was great! Dinner was hot and the butler pass food during cocktail hour is still being talked about, along with the carving stations.

From beginning to end, the service was seamless! Mercy was my direct contact, and she handled everything effortlessly. The food there is delicious, and they made sure that my husband and I did not miss anything. They greeted us with a drink and a tray of the hors'deuvres from our cocktail hour, which we thought we would miss out on while we were taking pictures! They even made sure that we saw our ballroom before anyone else did. All in all, I would definitely recommend Jungle Island for any event!

Their staff is amazing and the place is gorgeous! Everything went well and according to plans. They used my decorations well and most of all the food was epic! Everyone loved it and raved about it! We had a macaw and alligator which was really cool. Our coordinator was extremely helpful and very responsive. Thanks Jungle Island!

I truly enjoyed my wedding day at Jungle Island. My wedding was a big hit. Everyone is still raving about how great the food and drinks were. There were a few minor incidents prior to the wedding then again nothing is perfect. If you are planning a wedding at Jungle Island make sure you get everything in writing. Another issue is large events being held at the park during your wedding. Take these things into consideration before booking. Overall Jungle Island is a great venue. Remember it is a park open to the general public.

Jungle Island was amazing to us at our wedding. Each meeting was on time and quick to the point. Mercy is by far the best hands on coordinator there, she made me feel like I was in heaven or a Queen for the day. As a surprise they brought animals to our cocktail hour and everyone loved it. While the reception was going on, I never had an empty glass thanks to their staff who always attended us and made sure the bride and groom were taken care of. They were flexible and the food was delicious.
