Reception Palace Ballrooms

very good. It is one of the best places in Miami to celebrate events.

sm. The picturesque setting is the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception, and creating unforgettable memories for us and our guests. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail will be executed flawlessly, from the elegant decor to the delectable cuisine. Thank you to Alexys for helping us make our wedding dreams come true!"

ve done and continue to do to make sure our daughter has a phenomenal party.

to go above and beyond!

erience. Thank you so much!

lease consider another venue. We were told throughout the almost two year planning period that 15 minutes before the end of the 4 hrs of the party, a staff member would come up to us and ask if we wanted to extend an hour before they ended the party. Additionally, they said they would charge a fee per person of how many guests were left. However, no staff member came up to us to ask if we wished to extend the night of. I noticed the time and my husband and I had to take initiative, went to the office to speak to someone and confirm we *did*want to extend since they had clearly forgotten, in which the people in the office who we had never met before rudely asked us why we wanted to extend and asked “aren’t you guys tired already”. We were so upset by this and asked to speak to the coordinator To extend with her and they told us she had left for the night. We were so upset because we were told we could extend the hour throughout the whole planning process and that someone would be there to extend the night of but that proved to be untrue. The staff called her and we communicated with her on the phone and then we were told the price would be based on the original number of guests - not the ones left (which is not what was originally said -more lies). Because of all these problems and trying to actually locate the coordinator the dj ended our party and played the last song! Clearly we were upset as our car wouldn’t arrive for another hour since we had planned for a later end time. We did not know how we would get back to our hotel. Half of the remaining guests left because they thought the party was over! After much back and forth we were able to add the extra hour but by then a lot of guests had left, the remaining guests were confused, , and we were clearly upset at the disorganization and false promises made on our special night. We had said from the beginning we wanted to add the extra hour, and when we tried to add it throughout the year we were told by our coordinator from the venue not to do it then, to wait to the day of the party. Why was this what we were advised but then did not occur the day of. Please be cautious having an event here - the process was great until the day it mattered most. Instead we found out how disorganized, dishonest , and rudely this was handled. No one issued an apology or explanation. I wish I could say it was miscommunication or a simple mistake but I don’t understand how the coordinator just left and never followed through with what was the plan SHE suggested. It’s just negligent. And then the remaining staff were trying to convince us to end the party. The whole thing was deceitful and we would never recommend. Please reconsider another venue. Secondly, the layout of tables given to me when doing the seating arrangement did not match how the tables were Actually set up. I had family and friends that all couldn’t fit in one table And so we accommodated to sit them in adjacent tables so at least they could be side by side, but the day of the party the tables ended up being on opposite ends of the room. I don’t understand

is incredibly sweet and dedicated to her work. My husband and I live outside the state of Florida and put our full trust in her and her team to help us plan the wedding we always dreamed of and they definitely delivered. It was all so easy and flawless. I was far from stressing because I knew I was in the right hands from the start.

th the biggest day of my life. Reception Palace Ballrooms was very easy to work with and our wedding was beautiful! The food, the DJ, photographer (Jay), and flowers were even better than we expected. Thank you for your amazing team and especially Alexys for everything you did for us!

ow I envisioned my wedding and how I wanted everything to be, from that day on it was the smoothest process. Every detail was thought out perfectly and just as we had imagined it. Alexis and Maggie will become your best friend making sure your dream wedding comes true. You guys are the best and we couldn’t thank you enough! ❤️ ~ Ailyn & Robert

lean and the food was great ‼️

ism. Aly is simply the BEST! She is with you every step of the way making sure your magical night comes together beautifully! The venue itself is spectacular and the food is superb. I definitely recommend Reception Palace to all my family & friends!

buck, and this was the place. To top it all off, the staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were addressed and that we were happy. Big shout out to Alexis and Bernie for being the best!

, but when we visited Reception Palace, we loved that we got the best bang for our buck. We also really liked the area, and the fact that the building has a nice presentation from the moment you drive in. We were greeted by Aly who was absolutely amazing from day one! She is so helpful, and explains things as much as you need. She gives you a tour of the place and talks to you about all the options available. She even showed us the kitchen and had us taste the butter they make in house! We booked shortly after our first visit. Throughout the course of 11 months Aly always promptly answered all my questions via email, or phone, and was always available when we stopped by on the weekends to chat or ask additional questions. She gave us recommendations and ideas for our wedding as well.

e were able to relax, eat, and have a good time. Our guest enjoyed the food, the decorations, the music, etc.. Definitely recommend this place.

provide a beautiful venue, she was also my personal wedding planner/assistant lol, she made wedding planning almost stress free,(she was great)! If I had to do things all over again I would still choose Reception Palace Ballrooms, Thank You!😘

focus on the exciting part of getting married. Alexys was absolutely amazing from the very beginning and at all hours of the day, Alexys was there to help us through our biggest needs and did it with such ease. She always kept our best interest in mind and always kept our vision top priority. Thank you thank you THANK YOU !

fits” and I highly recommend it to anyone getting married! the reception palace did everything for me! I did not have to stress about anything at all! Alexys was the absolute best she is the sweetest person ever. Always in a great mood no matter how busy she is. Communication was great and I can go on forever of how wonderful everyone was. I highly recommend the reception palace to anyone planning a wedding in Miami. We visited many places before we made our decision and as soon as we went in we fell in love. I can relive my wedding every day thanks to how amazing it turned out! again very highly recommend and Alexys is an Angel! ❤️

zing. I know that if I recommend this ballroom to my clients that they will always be highly satisfied.

o mi única hija quise darle una boda de verdad. Mi hija y yo somos completamente opuestas. A ella le gusta las cosas simples, nada ostentoso. Y a mí me gusta el brillo y el "bling" como me dice ella. Cuando llegamos a Reception Palace a mí me encantó todo detalle que tuviera brillantes y espejos y a mí hija le gustaba la decoración como playa con colores tenues y azulados. Las muchachas del salón de fiestas entendieron lo difícil que nuestro caso pudiera ser pero nos trataron de maravillas aún dándonos ideas de cómo combinar nuestros estilos en en evento elegante y perfecto para la personalidad de mi hija y yerno con un poquito de bling para mí! Fue una noche espectacular. Y pronto estaremos celebrando de nuevo en Reception Palace el baby shower de mi hija!!

o overdrive. It's not that I didn't want to celebrate with her family. It's just that I saw what the wedding planning did to her: picking flowers, venue, dates, music,officiant, guest list, seating charts, invitations and all the other million details while working full time was overwhelming. Picking the venue in Miami was a no-show brainer. We'd been to a few events at Reception Palace Ballrooms in Miami so we were familiar with the location and quality of food and drink (which was really important for me). I was there during the first phone meeting with Soraya the owner and it quickly became apparent they had everything under control. Over the next few weeks I would ask my wife how the planning was going because she seemed so calm and wasn't stressing details. Not once did she freak out about colors and flowers! To tell you the truth I had very little to do with the planning except for jokingly saying that as long as we could have Cuban coffee I was gonna be fine with anything they did. I didn't see the ballroom until we walked in for our grand entrance and I was BLOWN AWAY!!! I wasnt so sure about my wife's theme idea of Moroccan style for our wedding but it was amazing. The tables were bright and vibrant, there were golden lanterns and pillows by the stage under this awesome canopy. It was like we'd walked into a different country. I actually got emotional about it because every detail screamed in celebration of us. It was joyful and full of love and I had the time of my life along with my wife and her family. And remember that "joke" I had made earlier about the Cuban coffee? Soraya worked within our budget and surprised us (me!) with a Cafe Bustelo Cuban coffee vendor cart that was serving little shots of espresso next to the open bar!!!! That was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, a surprise I wasn't expecting and it's something we're still talking about to this day making my very Italian family in Chicago jealous beyond words! I can't thank Soraya and the Reception Palace Ballrooms team enough for giving us a party we will never forget. They somehow managed to capture our love and personality across the miles and gave us an event beyond words. Love them, love RPB... we'll see you in 2 years for our 10th anniversary!!

Miami. Instead of planning one very large wedding that required a ton of travel arrangements we decided on having 2 separate, smaller weddings, one in Chicago and one in Miami. We had been to a number of lovely events at Reception Palace Ballrooms (baby shower, bridal shower and a wedding) and we figured a familiar venue would make the planning much easier. I contacted RPB and spoke with the owner, Soraya, who not only remembered each of the events I referred to but also recalled vivid details about the guests of honor and their event! Her ability to recall those things was a selling point right off the bat...only someone who loves what they do and takes pride in their work can do that. She immediately understood my nerves at planning a long distance wedding and she spent countless hours by phone and email helping me shape my scattered vision into the most beautiful, cohesive Moroccan themed wedding reception that exceeded my every expectation and dreams! Her attention to detail was impeccable and she was able to capture our vision and transform it into the most beautiful wedding event that everyone enjoyed and still comment on today. At long distance, the event she put on for us was even more perfect than the one we planned in person here at home. It has now been 8 years since our wedding and we remember that day with love and beautiful memories. If we decide to renew our vows for our 10th anniversary we will most definitely do so at Reception Palace Ballrooms in Miami...Chicago will have to travel this time to celebrate and party the right way!

very helpful and professional. The food was delicious, we all had a great time. Thank you for making it such an amazing and magical experience! Don’t miss out people, I will be recommending this place to everyone I know.

ss, we felt that were were in the absolute best of hands. We highly recommend this venue!

g every detail! Ample parking for guests and it's gated. Book an appointment and ask for Alexys!

agine!

also answered everything we could possible ask and gave us more ideas. She also was present the day of the wedding coordinating all day for us so that nothing was stressful and we could enjoy ourselves. The cermony area was great and the dinner, music, and decorations were perfect. We were able to enjoy every single moment of our wedding day from getting dressed and pre wedding photos at the venue to the very last dance and sparkle exit. The experience was amazing and with every penny

come dressed and ready for my event. The staff is very attentive to details. Thank you to Ally, Maggie, Soraya and Bernie for making my dream reception come true and for all your professionalism. I had a beautiful wedding! Thank you again!

etail. She was very patient with us and responded to our messages quickly. I highly recommend this venue!

é does not live in Miami, so it was difficult to go visit different vendors. At Reception Palace, we could get everything we needed with one place in one package. It was nice to have the staff at Reception Palace taking care of all the little details, so we didn't have to worry about them. Reception Palace is super flexible and easy to work with. Other venues we considered, or where friends had their weddings, have very strict rules about a lot of things. Reception Palace isn’t like that, they work with you to make sure your big day is exactly the way you want it. Every time I called to ask a question, or make a request, they never made me feel like I was bothering them. They are happy to help with all the details, and they also help give you advice on how to plan for certain things. This team is professional, they know what they're doing. I can honestly say I didn’t worry about a single thing on the day of our wedding, I knew they had it handled. A lot of places want to charge you for every little thing, this place is not like that, they helped us save money on different things. Additionally, the food is great. We picked the chicken chasseur with rice and veggies, and everyone enjoyed it. Even two months after our wedding, people still tell us how much fun they had! Everyone really enjoyed themselves. The room, looked gorgeous and everything was just really well done. The DJ did a good job, but didn’t stick to all of our requests. I am so glad we chose to have our wedding here.

ork with. I have such a busy schedule and I was very worried I wouldn't have the time to execute my daughter' dream party, but she saw our vision and thanks to her, my daughter's 15's was absolutely perfect! Thank you Alexys and the whole team at RPB!!!

for July of 2018 but 4 days after I made the reservation and paid the down payment for the event my fiancé and I broke up. I called the next day to cancel my reservation and I was told that I couldn't get my down payment back of almost $3,000. This place did nothing for me. All I had done was reserve the day and give the down payment. I had not picked anything, I had not picked any details, no food, nothing! We hadn't even started planning the wedding, they did NOTHING for me. All they managed to do was take my $3,000 when I was going through such a hard time. Two different people that worked there told me that they would speak to their bosses and call me back once they spoke to them to ask if I could at least get SOME money back, but they both lied because nobody has called me back. Also, they said that I cancelled after 14 days and that they had already started planning my wedding which is a lie, I never told them any details for my wedding they literally just got almost $3,000 for free because they did not even start planning or did anything for me. Now I have debt for no reason and its so sad because I really liked them until they began to lie and say that I had used their services and they couldn't return me the money. The contract does begin after 3 days but I called on the 5th day and they hadn't even started planning. I think its an abuse on their part to just keep my money like that.

has a passion for coordinating events and helped every step of the way. Honestly, don't know what I would have done without her. We trusted her with every detail and she exceeded our expectations in the final outcome. Prior to the wedding she was very hands on answering all of my questions and made sure we went over every item to ensure she knew my expectations. The night of the wedding she ensured everything was ready and the night ran smoothly. My guest still comment on how beautifully decorated the venue was and what a great time they had. Food was also delicious not one plate went back unfinished. 5 stars all around for service, professionalism, decorations, food, drinks, DJ, cake were all Excellent!!

very pleased how welcoming they are and made us feel like family. 😁 I will most definitely continue to recommend them to anyone who wants my same experience. I would like to add that every person on there package they recommend to use for any event also gets 5 stars feom us as well.

lines waiting at the bar. The food was beyond awesome. I wish they were open for dinner every night! I had multiple guests come to me and say how delish the food was, the venue was gorgeous, and that the music and DJ rocked! He played an awesome variety of songs that went well together and there was something for everyone. I was extremely nervous using an in house DJ but I was pleasantly surprised with everything he did. The appetizers and the dessert table was beautiful and delicious. We were even allowed to take our leftovers home! Soraya made everything easy. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. This is one place where you will find quality and quantity! I am glad that we booked our reception ! --

r all my guests. It was beautifully put together and I was treated like family. They took care of my family and us during our big day. Definitely will choose Reception Palace all over again without thinking about it.

es if I didn't like an option I would say what my vision was and they would find a way to make it happen. I had an amazing time at my wedding, the décor was beautiful, the food was delicious. drinks were great, and the DJ really kept the party going.

us. My photographer was outstanding and we had such a great time with the rest of the vendors they recommended. We couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. Thank you to both our planners who helped guide us through it all.

mazing, everything tastes fresh and absolutely delicious. All staff members were so friendly and very attentive and helpful. I would strongly recommend them for any occasion and to any person! The best in Miami!

just like the pictures i showed them! I couldn't have asked for more on my birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
