My husband and I recently got married and had our reception at Monty's Coconut Grove. To say that our wedding and reception were perfect wouldn't do it justice. It was such a pleasure working with Andrea and the whole staff to create our pictur...e-perfect wedding day.
Since my husband and I live on the west coast, we weren't able to be as hands-on as we would have liked. Andrea made the wedding planning for our reception such a dream: quick to reply to the million questions we had even with the time difference, so accommodating to our requests, and she just made sure that the vision we had for our special day came to life. I cannot rave enough about the professionalism and overall pleasure it was to work with her.
Monty's Coconut Grove is SUCH a beautiful place. You don't have to decorate much because it is already so beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The food was delicious (cilantro lime shrimp, mojo marinated chicken breast, mixed veggies, rice and beans) and the dessert buffet that we included in our menu was a great hit with our guests.
For the price point, Monty's is a great option to have a wedding reception. I think it was really great that I didn't have to close out the bill until the event was finished. Although it could be a pain to have to think about it after a long day, it's better than paying for people that didn't show up!
I can go on and on about the great experience my husband and I had for our wedding, but the bottom line is that we wouldn't have had such a great experience without the help of Andrea and the great service that Monty's Coconut Grove was able to provide for us.
