Our daughter recently got married at The Addison of Boca Raton. Cindy was exceptional to work with from start to finish. She covered every detail, was very responsive in all of our MANY communications, and kept us on track to make this event seamless. We cannot thank...
her enough! The Addison is such a beautiful event center, filled with history and beauty. The courtyard with the 2 banyan trees is just magnificent, with the lovely fountain area as a backdrop. The food, from the appetizers to the amazing dinners, was just over the top delicious. So many of our guests could not believe that it was "wedding food." The staff was friendly and attentive. The entire evening was just magical.

The Addison
As the mother of the bride, I cannot say enough good things about the staff and facility of the Addison of Boca Raton.
Our Daughter was married
on Saturday, July 20, 2024 in an absolutely stunning ceremony at the Addison surrounded by the 100 yr old Bany...
an trees , historical architecture, a beautiful fountain, and balmy warm weather.
My daughter was escorted down the aisle by her father, surrounded by her 184 guests. Violin music was playing for the entire procession including the brides sisters and spouses, Grooms parents, Mother of the Bride, Flower Girls , Ring Bearers and wedding party.
Raymond the Wedding officiant conducted a meaningful ceremony with Bride and Groom exchanging vows and rings in front of their honored guests under the Banyon Trees.
Coctail Reception hour was held in the Main dining room with 2 open bars ( well staffed) Hors D’oeuvres ( Butler passed) including Mini GrilledCheese with Tomato Basil Bisque ( overall favorite) Grilled Chicken Skewer (absolutely delicious)Lollypop Lamb chops( moist and flavorful)Carmelized Watermelon ( refreshing) Avocado Toast, Spicy Ahi Tuna Tostada, all so very delicious. We also had a Cocktail Hour Display of Imported & Domestic Cheeses, nuts, figs, apricots, dried cranberries, pistachios, walnuts and assorted crackers. Champagne Flutes were attractively displayed during Cocktail hour with name and table assignments which had a definite “WOW” factor.
Dinner served in the Mizner Ballroom was outstanding, with a choice of Sea Bass or NY Strip, served with Organic Mixed Green Salad, mashed potato, and sautéed Broccolini. Wedding cake was the dessert and served by the waitstaff (delicious, good choice). A Late Night Pizza station was a big hit!
Our guests are still raving about all the delicious Hors D’oeuvres, cheese display, and 14 oz NY strip and Sea Bass and pizza. No one went hungry!
I can’t say enough about out the staff and servers the day of the wedding. The best service ever!
I want to give a shout out to Cindy Pierce Sales/ Coordinator at the Addison who organized, gave good advice, and saw my daughter’s dream wedding come true.

uring everything went exactly to plan. Once the event started, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was amazing, and our guests are still raving to us about the sea bass months later!
On top of the amazing service and team, the venue is beautiful and great for photos even with minimal decor. It's also centrally located which was great for our guests. They also handle so many parts of the wedding like food, dessert, drinks, seating, linens, etc. which made the entire planning process so much easier for us. Grace helped us think through every possible detail and made sure it was a truly perfect day.

ee I spoke with both during planning and day-of went out of their way to make me feel so special on my wedding day. And the food? Guests have told us it was the best food they've ever eaten at a wedding and one of the best steaks they've ever had in general.
With its natural beauty taking center stage, decor is a breeze...and if you have decor you want in place, they set it up for you, leaving you to enjoy your wedding without any stress. I cannot recommend The Addison enough as a truly incredible wedding experience!

The Addison handled the catering, and the food was absolutely delicious. The culinary team did an outstanding job, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality and taste of the dishes.

arm and smiling face. We were able to interact with Carlos, who was the loveliest person throughout our floral planning. He was so kind and gracious. We proceeded to the bridal suite, where we awaited the big moment in comfort and accommodation. Stephanie and Aliya were there to provide much- needed cocktails and any assistance throughout the evening. Gareth’s music was beautiful. The evening then unfolded amid a stunning space, the most delicious hors d’oeuvres (guests raved about the lamb chops), dinner (absolutely phenomenal sea bass), top-notch leadership/master of ceremonies by DJ Brian and team, friendly and delicious bar service, expert support of the entire event by Max, wait service at our table and every detail executed masterfully. People were coming up to us all evening and raving about it being the most amazing wedding that they had ever attended. And this from very well-traveled individuals who have been to many extraordinary events. We worked so hard on the countless details of this weekend, for so long. It was truly a dream-come-true!
*we opted for the buyout and the outdoor dining was so beautiful!

From answering my plethora of questions over months of planning (thank you Heather & Taylor!), to providing an incredible list of vendors, to guiding us through the day without a single problem (major shout out to Alyssa!), it was an impeccable experience. We received compliments from every single guest on how amazing the food was (the sea bass is GREAT!), outstanding service, beauty of the venue and how well the entire evening flowed/was organized. Several of our guests said the event was “the best wedding they ever attended”. We are so beyond thrilled with our decision to choose The Addison as our venue for our wedding day, and highly, highly recommend. Truly the best day ever, thanks to The Addison & staff!

Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at The Addison, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a fairytale! From the moment we arrived until our grand send-off, every aspect of our special day was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed,...
thanks to the exceptional team at The Addison.
First and foremost, the food at The Addison is simply unparalleled. Each bite was a culinary masterpiece, surpassing any meal I've ever tasted. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delectable Chilean seabass and the exquisite hors d'oeuvres that tantalized their taste buds.
Our coordinator, Ashley, was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. She ensured that every detail was perfect, leaving no room for error on the big day. When Ashley handed over the reins to Stephany, the seamless transition ensured that our needs were always met, and there was never an empty glass on our table.
The historic charm of The Addison, coupled with its rustic vibes and enchanting banyon trees, created the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. It felt like stepping into a scene from the Disney movie Enchanted, and every moment was pure magic.
One of the many things that truly set The Addison apart is their unwavering commitment to perfection. Even when we momentarily stepped away from our seats, the staff ensured that our dinner remained warm and ready for us to enjoy. It's this level of attention to detail that made our wedding day truly flawless.
Not only did The Addison exceed our expectations during the celebration, but they also went above and beyond afterward. From boxing up our belongings to loading them into my dad's car, every aspect of our departure was handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
I cannot commend The Addison's staff enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for both the bride, groom, and all of our guests. If given the chance, I wouldn't change a single thing about our magical wedding day at The Addison. It was an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you're searching for the perfect wedding venue where every detail is meticulously planned and executed flawlessly, look no further than The Addison. Trust me, your fairytale wedding awaits!

ing. People kept saying I have never seen such a calm and relaxed bride the day before their wedding. The truth is I was so confident in The Addison’s organization and reputation and they certainly made everything flow so well together. There is an entire crew making sure everything goes as planned and on time. My dad even says that was the best well spent investment ever. One thing I will never forget. My concierge saved my day. I accidentally spilled some of their delicious (orange colored) shrimp sauce on my white wedding dress. She immediatelly grabed a tide marker she was carrying and fixed it for me. I was able to enjoy and dance in my reception worry free. It honestly never crossed my mind that I could stain my dress and I did not prepare for it, but they were. In sum, they are the full package: gorgeous tuscany vibe venue, delicious food and wonderful professional staff. They are dream venue. Special thanks to Heather, my coordinaror. She was always there for me for every single question I had. Thank you for everything.

Kudos too to Max and Aliyah, without whose exceptional assistance on the wedding night, the wedding might not have been so successful. Oh, and that Banyan tree.

My wedding day was an absolute dream from beginning to end and The Addison was the reason why.

shley was so professional, helpful and definitely knew what she was doing which was comforting. We signed the same day with the Addison and from that day it has been absolutely incredible. I message Ashley any time of the day or night and she was always available and immediately responsive (even when she was on vacation)! She helped me every single step of the way, she made sure we always had a timeline of when things were needed to be done and she constantly checked in to make sure we were okay and to see if she could make anything easier for us. Fast forward to wedding day- the Addison and Ashley ran the tightest ship it was absolutely incredible to see. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how smooth everything ran, how everyone always knew where to be and there was no wasted time not to mention how overall stunning the venue itself is. The food was absolutely amazing all night guests kept coming up to us complementing the food and it hasn’t stopped 2 weeks after the wedding! The Addison took such amazing care of us on our wedding night and The Addison and Ashley made our wedding vision so much better than expected and our day was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We can’t thank the Addison team and Ashley enough for everything they’ve done for us!!!!!

We were married at the Addison on May 15th, 2023. We were highly disappointed by the event planning done by Helene P. We were originally supposed to have a different wedding planner, but she cancelled last minute due to extending her maternity leave, and we got a horrib...
le replacement. Helene P. promised to go above an beyond for us, but when the day of our wedding came, she was nowhere to be found. She LIED to us multiple times during the wedding planning process just so she could be lazy and do less work. Furthermore, on the day of, she didn't even bother to try and put together our card box properly before putting it out on the welcome table (she lied to us and said it didn't work, but she didn't bother to even open the wrapping to see if it worked). We found welcome signs and pictures of me and my husband that we had paid hundreds for that Helene had hidden in the kitchen instead of displaying them during our wedding. The pictures on our welcome table were all crooked. The sign-in board that we had brought for signatures wasn't laid out for anyone to sign, and we had to scramble during the reception to get everyone's signatures (which ended up being impossible because some guests had to leave early). There was ZERO wedding coordination during the reception as Helene did a very poor job of keeping everyone on the schedule that SHE had created in the first place. After dinner, Helene disappeared, and we didn't see or hear from her ever again even to this day. We hadn't yet cut the cake, hadn't thrown the bouquet, hadn't done the grand exit that Helene had boasted about during the planning process (when she wanted us to pay more and more money). Everything Helene did for us was an embarrassment. If we had known that we were going to be working with Helene to plan our wedding, we never would have agreed to buy out the venue and spend over $30,000 with the Addison. I give the venue 1 star solely because the food was decent (though the servers took our food away before we were done). Perhaps the event would have been better with a different wedding planner, but our once in a lifetime experience at the Addison was ruined largely due to Helene P. and her horrible, lazy wedding coordination. We hate the Addison for providing her to us as a "trusted" wedding planner. The Addison was a waste of money.
Vendor response 09/18/2023
The Addison prides itself on delivering an exceptional guest experience. We are so sorry y...
ou are disappointed with yours.
Unfortunately, your initial Event Manager had to leave early on maternity leave. We then paired you with Helene, a veteran planner with over 17 years of experience at the Addison.
When you contracted with the Addison, it was for a property buyout with a Food and Beverage minimum of $24,000 and you were anticipating 100 guests. (As our contract states, the pricing is based solely on Food and Beverage minimums and not the number of guests.)
Due to an unprecedented head count reduction, Helene worked diligently with your husband, Michael, to ensure you received the full value of the Food and Beverage dollars spent. No additional dollars outside of the contractual amount was spent.
Helene is out of town and will reach out to you upon her return.

Getting married at The Addison was a literal DREAM. From the moment we booked them a year ago, down to the wedding day, our coordinator Cindy and the rest of the team were always available and responsive to any questions I had and made accommodations as needed. I can’t ...
say enough how beautiful the venue is (makes for amazing photos), how smoothly everything ran the day of, and how delicious the food was! We did a brunch wedding and all our guests absolutely loved the food! The options are incredible! My bridal concierge, Alyssa, was also amazing. I’ve never heard of another venue having someone like that, so that was a major perk of booking with The Addison! Alyssa was there all day to help me with my dress train, put my veil in, help me to the restroom, and bring me and my now husband drinks including water when taking photos outside. We literally felt like royalty! And we were so happy to see all our guests truly enjoying everything. I wish we could get married here all over again! Thank you Cindy and the entire team for giving us such a beautiful day!

The Addison was worth EVERY PENNY. The place is absolutely beautiful, classy, elegant, and has a historic vibe to it thanks to the two large, beautiful oak trees. The food, THE FOOD, literally amazing. All my guests raved about how good the food was. The staff is incred...
ible and the event coordinator, I had Helene, was AMAZING. Everything went perfectly during rehearsal and wedding day. Thanks to her I literally had the wedding of my dreams. I can’t thank Helene, Stephanie, and the Addison enough for giving me the wedding I never thought I’d have. Everything was perfect!!
Also, special shout out to Stephanie!!!! The Addison provides a sort of personal assistant, Stephanie was mine, and when I tell you she was A GOD SEND, that’s no exaggeration. It’s hot in Boca and she followed me everywhere I went during picture time and literally held a cold glass of water (with a straw to not ruin my lipstick) at all times to give to me whenever I needed it. She carried my dress train everywhere, she made sure to put my flats to change into under the sweetheart table, she put all my stuff in our get away car and had valet pull it up front at the right time. I mean… amazing. She helped me so much I can’t thank her enough!!!
I would recommend the Addison to everyone. DO IT you won’t regret it!!!

We got our fairytale wedding thanks to the awesome team at The Addison!
Our coordinator, Helene, was amazing from the start. This was the first of several venues we looked at and she gave us so many tips and tricks that we knew we had to book with her in the end.
Le...
ading up to the wedding we also had the pleasure of working with other team members Jessica and Allison who were so helpful and professional.
We had our tasting in January that was perfectly executed and we were able to talk with the chef about what choices he recommended for dinner and cocktail hour.
The day before the big day (for the rehearsal) Helene got all our ducks in a row and helped us figure out where we were supposed to be and who was doing what.
During the actual day we had our awesome concierge Aliya who was an absolute gem! Thanks to her my groom and I got to enjoy our hors d'oeuvres alone and then also enjoy the delicious dinner during our reception (we were told by so many this wouldn't happen).
I could go on and on about how great everything was with The Addison, but I'll sum it up to this: professional service, beautiful location for a wedding and delicious food!
Talk to Helene before you book anywhere else in South Florida.

re so many little details that you don’t think about that they take care of - few examples - there was a manager on site for our wedding that coordinated the entire staff, checking in with us periodically to ensure everything was going smoothly; our day of coordinator Jennifer was the best! We did our first look outside, in May, so it was a little hot, and she was on standby with water and a fan for photo breaks. Aside from the incredible staff and gorgeous venue, the food is the best you will ever have. We received endless calls and texts after the wedding from our guests about it! Everyone we worked with was just so fantastic to make our day incredibly special and memorable. Thank you Jessica, Ashley, Heather, Allison!!

As soon as you get in, the courtyard teleports you to a different world. Getting hitched between the banyan trees in front of the fountain was simply magical. The venue’s architectur...
e offers gorgeous views for photos.
The venue also offers enough space and secondary halls to house different events or ceremony. We utilized one of the room for kids and baby sitters.
The foods were great and they offer different cuisine and huge menu selection to choose from.
A special shout out to Grace(our coordinator) who was extremely cooperative and made our planning remotely from Minnesota very convenient. All the staffs were helpful and made us feel very special during the event. The manager for the night, Max simply handled all the request smoothly. Having toured 5 venues for our special day,we could not have chosen a better venue.
All our guests were simply in awe by the beauty of Addison and still comment highly about their food and services.

We had our wedding at the Addison at the beginning of March 2023. From the moment we sat down with Grace for our consultation, she was unbelievably sweet, patient and helpful, answering all of my questions. She also served as the coordinator for the event and truly was...
a day-of coordinator, setting up all the decor, running the timeline etc. And everything went off without a hitch!
The Addison itself is gorgeous. You just can't beat that courtyard. Our ceremony was at 5 pm. The only downside is that there was a wedding scheduled after us, so we were unable to take family pictures by the chuppah because they had to break down the ceremony space right after. (That being said, you would have had no clue there was another wedding going on as they keep the crowds separated).
The Addison has a food and beverage minimum, which is nice because you can create the menu as you want it and spend money where you want, instead of being stuck with set menus from other venues. And everything the day-of went so smoothly! Our guests LOVED the food and thought the venue was gorgeous and all the servers and Addison personnel were all kind and helpful.
We also had Stephany as our bridal concierge and she was always there to bring us a drink and help with anything we needed, like when my bustle broke a number of times, she was there helping me pin it up.
Overall, we could not recommend the Addison more!

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding at The Addison in February and WOW – what an unforgettable experience. As we reminisce on the process, we are so grateful that we chose The Addison. The venue itself is beautiful and historic and makes for great pictures. We ...
worked with Helene who now feels like family. She is funny, instills well-deserved confidence, handled our large wedding party very well and made the entire planning process simple. We have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the food. It was delicious, served hot, and all came out at the exact same time (which is unusual based on many other weddings we’ve attended). They take orders at the table which is amazing – guests can request the temperate of their meat and makes planning easier to not need to collect food orders beforehand.
What was so unique was the ratio of Addison staff to guests. The value of The Addison is unmatched in our opinion. Having Helene support us throughout the process, our bridal concierge Aliyha (sorry if I’ve misspelled this) who was incredible the day-of, and the event manager – they are providing a service that you would typically only get through a wedding planner. The Addison was our best decision throughout the process. If you are considering, just do it and be happy you have this amazing event still ahead of you (we wish we could relive it).

minute changes to guest count and menu selections she was always kind and patient with us. The service on the day of the wedding was top notch. Everyone worked in perfect concert with one another and they were 100% on the ball. They directed everything perfectly, and really worked with us with some not-so-great weather forecast. Alyssa was the star of the day and made sure everything ran perfectly and kept us on a perfect schedule, she tended to our every need. Of course the Venue itself is gorgeous and stunning and the food is delicious. We got nothing but compliments all night about how beautiful the venue is and how great the food was.

Working with the Addison to plan my daughter’s wedding was a pleasure. We had a little over a year to plan the event, and from the moment I contacted them, I knew we were in good hands. They got back to me right away, and we were able to schedule an appointment to go ov...
er the venue and the nature of the services they provide. Our first impression was positive and made a huge impact in why we chose them. Of course, the natural beauty of the site and the architecture made it a wonderful choice for a wedding, but the choice to have the wedding at the Addison had a lot to do with other factors such as my perception that they would provide a well-executed and elevated experience. In contrast, when I contacted certain other venues, it took at least a week for some of them to even email me back to begin the conversation, and scheduling the tours was challenging. With the Addison, I felt as though we could rely on them to take the job seriously.
The manager we worked with was Grace who was incredibly patient with us and guided us through the entire process. As a person who values organization, time management, and kindness, I cannot say enough about how thoroughly Grace embodied the perfect person for me to work with in organizing the wedding. She provided us with guidance as we made decisions about what we were planning, and recommended certain outside vendors that have worked at the Addison on a regular basis who had an excellent track record. We went with these vendors, and they all performed spectacularly. There is a certain rhythm to their operations, and the outside vendors know exactly when to arrive, the layout of the facility, and how long the jobs will take, so the ultimate result is a well-orchestrated event. She also knew just what questions to ask and gave us excellent advice.
For the actual wedding ceremony, we were tremendously impressed by the behind-the-scenes organization of our pre-wedding arrival, the procession, and the way they helped us with the timing of when to walk and where to stand. All our items such as place cards, photos, and guest book were laid out beautifully. The facility itself was clean and tidy, and all of our instructions were followed. The wedding went flawlessly. When it came time for the cocktail reception, dinner, and dancing, we were highly pleased with the service and the deliciousness of the food. Everyone commented on the quality of the food, and we had some serious foodies in our party. Standouts amongst the hors d’oeuvres included the lamb lollipops and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. Also our sushi boat was a huge hit. At dinner, we also heard positive feedback on the lamb and the Chilean sea bass. When it was time to leave, everything was extremely organized, and they provided assistance in helping us to take all of our personal items and gifts.
All in all, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and unreservedly recommend the Addison for your next event.

My husband and I just got married here early November 2022. We did our tasting a couple months prior and knew we were going to have the best wedding based on that evening. The entire staff serving food/drinks took great care of us. The food was delicious - the chef and ...
their team know what they’re doing!
Ashley was our coordinator and was so helpful and kind throughout this whole process. She was extremely professional and organized. I knew we were in good hands and that gave us peace knowing she was in charge. Alyssa took care of us the day of our wedding, guiding us where we needed to be, calming me down before I walked down the aisle, and being there for whatever we needed. Once again the food was so good - the hors d'oeuvres were a highlight with unique and fun options (mini grilled cheese w/ a tiny cup of tomato soup, lamb chops, etc).
Overall we had a great experience. They respected our budget, what we wanted and didn’t want, etc. The most common thing I told people leading up to the wedding is that our venue is taking care of us! Aka less stress and things for us to worry about. The Addison made our lives very easy, it doesn’t get better than that. Getting married under those beautiful banyan trees was a dream.
