I am a wedding planner located in South Florida and our partnerships with venues are hugely important to us for finding and creating amazing moments for couples.
That's why when ...someone goes above and beyond, it's important to shout it from the rooftops!
Recently I had a wedding at the Perez Art Museum and I strongly suggested that they do their rehearsal dinner and room block at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel.
One meeting with Shannon McKenna and team, and the couple was ready to make this happen!
To give you a sense of size, we had a welcome reception for hundred and twenty, a rehearsal dinner for sixty, a farewell brunch for eighty five, and over two hundred room night reservations.
That is a LOT of personalities to work with. Shannon (and team) handled it all with grace and style. Little surprise and delights throughout the couples stay, and extra attention to the parents, Maid of Honor, and Best Man. As with any wedding there is always some uncertainty as the big date comes, but Shannon constantly made herself available. But where things got really good is when the family and guests started to check in.
There is nothing better to hear than "everyone here is so nice!" No matter what I need, or what the question, someone is always right there to help me. WOW WOW WOW Now if it had just been this one wedding, I might not be so passionate about Shannon and this hotel - but it's not.
I have had several weddings and events at the Mondrian, and each time - it is exactly the same.
Great Location, Great Product, Excellent Food and Beverage, and a team the actually believes in excellence.
Standouts - Front Desk: Checking in that many guests in that short amount of time -
Amazing Food and Beverage: Chef through busboy - Food was always delicious, fresh, always hot (when appropriate), and
I never once saw a guest have to search or look for anything. Space was always clean (on all three events) and on time.
AUGH - I wish I could give you even more stars. If you are looking for a place (planner or couple), check these guys out.
Congratulations to the entire team - you blew this out of the water!
