The Palms Hotel & Spa

nd trust me when I say she knows what she is doing, ask her for any advice/opinion and she will lead you in the direction. The whole staff at the palms is amazing they make you feel so welcomed from day one. our tasting experienced was so nice it made us feel like VIP's. the staff during our event was on top of everything. you will not be disappointed doing your event here, specially with the amazing food they have. you might think that the tasting will be so good and the have something different the day of, but not it is still delicious. our guests loved every bite.

s. She always responded quickly and never appeared to be annoyed with the number of questions I asked (which was a lot)! When meeting her in person, she was personable and calm. She accommodated us when needed and made our wedding absolutely perfect. It complete went off without a hitch – all thanks to her!

eat back drops for our photographs. We had our rehearsal dinner at the hotel restaurant the night before and it was incredible. She food was delicious and the staff was amazing. We worked with Barbara for our wedding and she was wonderful. For over a year before our wedding, I was in constant contact with her. I asked her every little question i had and she always responded with such kindness and so quickly too. She was so amazing to work with. The day of our wedding, she ensured that everything was perfect. All of the food was incredible, the set up and decor were perfect and all of the staff were so great. We are so incredibly happy that we chose the Palms for our wedding. It was even better than we could have ever expected.

Throughout the planning process, Vanessa was very responsive to emails and made us feel so special on the big day. She even perfectly timed our transition from the outdoor cocktail hour to dinner on the covered terrace to avoid everyone getting rained on as a storm passed through. The venue itself requires very little decoration as it is already so picturesque, and the food was fantastic (which received many compliments from our guests). Scott was also a huge help in working on our room block as many guests stayed at the Palms to enjoy the amenities and beach access. Our goal was to host a destination wedding for our friends and family in an intimate and beautiful location which I believe that we accomplished! Thank you to Vanessa and her team!

OU MUST USE THE PALMS! 10/10 recommend!

ry intimate! They set everything up nicely. I didn’t have to worry about anything. The food was absolutely delicious. The grounds are beautiful with all the flowers and plants. It just set the mood for our theme. Everyone complemented on how beautiful and awesome it was! So happy we chose them

ood. The whole wedding day was truly the day of my dreams and they helped make it possible! The vendors the hotel works with are also great and they work together so well, which made planning less stressful. I can’t thank Vanessa enough for all she did to make our wedding perfect for us, she is incredible! This venue is such a gem on Miami Beach, and I am so glad we chose to have our wedding here as it made the day of and our goal of having a wedding weekend for traveling guests just perfect!

kend. The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, and all of the staff are so professional. Would 100% recommend.

ts stayed at the Palms as well and enjoyed the pool, beach, restaurants, and the above all else the hospitality. If you are looking for a venue that will guide you through the wedding process and takes care of literally everything, including putting on boutonnières for the groomsmen, this is the place to go.

ould of dreamed for and Vennesa was a wonderful coordinator.

still using their "same old" policies and payment procedures that simply were not going to work with us given how shaky everything was with the world. From the beginning, the Palms worked with us. They worked with us to make changes to the contract, to the payment plan, to everything, to make sure we felt OK and safe proceeding with signing a contract in the middle of the Covid-19 uncertainty. Every email was "yes," and "we can do that," or even offering to go a step further. I had a very unique set-up as my entire wedding was outdoors, on their Lawn, with dancing on the Terrace. The entire night, I kept being told that this was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to. The Palms has such a beautiful tropical outdoor environment. If you dream of greenery and a lush outdoor environment, this is THE place. The food was DELICIOUS - just as good as it was at my Tasting. If you're looking for an outdoorsy sort of vibe, in a prime location for travelers, look no further. We had such a positive experience, we decided at the 11th hour to also host a welcome event on the Friday before the wedding for a small group, and we went ahead and did it at the Palms as well. Everyone loved it. To all the new brides - I cannot caution you enough about picking a venue that will work with you, is responsive, and makes your life easier. You will go back and forth with them 100 times about layouts, food, guest counts, and more. The Palms made my life easier all around --- and their hotel coordinator Vanessa Ortiz feels like family to me at this point. She is an enormous asset to the hotel and I look forward to sharing that with the higher-ups. No other hotel or venue I looked at offered the outdoor spaces for the capacity I wanted, other than the Palms. I am beyond obsessed with the beautiful garden wedding I had! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

autiful and unique. Compared to the glitzy, overpriced, wedding packages available in the nearby hotels, we felt the pricing at The Palms was good for a hotel of its kind in South Beach. The food was absolutely delicious. So many of our guests complimented us on it. I cannot stress enough what a great experience it was working with Holly, the director of catering and events who was also the event coordinator on our wedding day. Holly was so responsive, caring, and just wanted to make sure that everything went according to our vision. She was truly a gem to work with and we can't thank her enough for helping make our day one of the best ever!

everything was included (we wouldn't have the time to seek out and sample/get quotes from a ton of different vendors offering all the services we needed), we expected pricing for The Palms to be way above our budget. We contacted them about 7 months before our preferred date range, and even that far out, they had no Saturday dates available, only 1 Sunday and a handful of openings on Fridays. We selected Sunday since we had several out of town guests on our list, and they'd only need to take Monday off from work/school, whereas if we'd selected a Friday, they'd most likely need to miss both a Thursday and a Friday to travel to Miami and attend. Vanessa Ortiz was our wedding coordinator. She me with us to answer our questions before we signed the contract and paid our deposit, and was great to deal with in the months leading up to our big day. Since we went with a Sunday wedding, the F&B minimums were also considerably less than if we'd gone with a Friday or Saturday so it was within our budget. We were invited to come to The Palms and sample the food and drinks that would be served at our wedding, she was great every step of the way and communications were always good. After we secured The Palms and decided which spaces here we wanted for our wedding (the gazebo), cocktail hour (the trellis) and reception/dinner (veranda terrace), we really only needed to then secure our officiant, DJ, florist and photographer. The cost of the wedding cake as well as tables, chairs and linens was included in the price of the package we selected here, though we did need to visit with the vendors providing those to make our selections. The other big bonus for us was that The Palms guaranteed us the use of alternative indoor venues in case of rain, as all the spaces we'd planned to use on our wedding day were outdoors. Other wedding venues we considered were unable or unwilling to make that same guarantee. The staff here at The Palms were great..We had a lot of wedding decor and other items to drop off a few days ahead of time. As we pulled our van up to the front entrance, several staff were there to unload for us and securely store our stuff. On our wedding day we were given a complimentary hotel room for the night, but also a secured conference room not far from the wedding and reception areas to store our items, get ready before the wedding, etc. On the day of the wedding, Vanessa and the staff here unboxed everything we sent, followed our instructions and had everything set up and in place a few hours before the ceremony so we simply needed to check things over and put our final touches where required. Simple! Overall we were very happy with our experience here and would recommend The Palms to others. Even weeks later, our guests are still raving about the venue, how "perfect" everything was, and giving high praise to the food and drink served by The Palms!

lid advice, and answered all the relentless questions that we had! The food was delicious and the ballroom looked amazing! All our friends and family had a superb time at the Palms for our wedding!

stunning backdrops for photos. The food was DELICIOUS and just as good as when we did our tasting, in spite of everything being prepared for 150 guests. The service was really unparalleled. I've been to so many weddings where it's hard to find a server and guests are left waiting for food long after service has begun. The Palms had an amazing team working that night, with a catering manager on site the whole night to oversee everything. We got so many compliments on both the food and service! Everyone was welcoming, friendly and committed to making our night amazing. Lastly, a special shout-out to Yasmin Gomez, our wedding coordinator, who was professional, responsive, accommodating and just amazing to work with!

and dancing in the Queen Palm ballroom. Holly Pacheco with the Palms Hotel was simply amazing and responsive from the first moment we reached out to the last. She responded incredibly quickly to any random questions or concerns we had, and did so with a positive, professional attitude. The day of our reception, everything was actually better than we could have imagined and completely taken care of. Holly was there the day of to make sure that everything was just as we had imagined. She even helped my bridesmaids out with finding a spare safety pin at the last moment! It's these little touches that made working with Holly and the Palms Hotel a wonderful experience (not to mention that the hotel itself has a beautiful old Florida/Caribbean charm that you can't find in most hotels in Miami Beach anymore!). Highly recommend the Palms Hotel to anyone looking for professional staff and a beautiful venue.

She accommodated last minute changes and made sure the day ran smoothly. The wedding package included beautiful linens, chairs, place settings, table numbers, and a delicious cake from ET cakes. We added some outdoor lighting, but other than that, they were very transparent about pricing and there weren't any unexpected additions. Even with our room reservations, all of our guests had a very easy time booking and loved the hotel. We would do it all over again at the Palms if we could!

perfect with no detail forgotten. Even when I mentioned to my husband I couldn’t wait to get to the reception to get some water, she overheard and out came with some water almost instantly. The venue was the perfect backdrop for photos, the food was AMAZING, and service was impeccable. Thank you to the Palms for making our day perfect!

ues, we decided that The Palms was perfect. The thought of planning such a large party was overwhelming, but Yasmin (and Vanessa) made the process as painless as possible. Yasmin was extremely attentive whenever I emailed or called her or had any questions. I did not have a wedding planner so having an attentive day-of coordinator was crucial, and Yasmin made the day completely seamless for me. Our ceremony was outside at the gazebo, and everything was flawless. The food was excellent and we are still getting rave reviews from guests about the food. I knew our wedding would be nice, but The Palms completely exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend it enough.

er place like it. I was in excellent hands with the planning of my wedding reception working with Tanja Morariu and Holly Pacheco. They were meticulous in their attention to detail, provided excellent ideas and resources and were beyond accommodating to this bridezilla ;). Because of them, my reception was perfect. A shout-out to Paul King who served as our event director, he was so sweet and professional. I am very grateful to Paul for keeping us on schedule. My guests were in agreement. They LOVED The Palms, one couple even booked a room to join us for the weekend. Another couple friend, who are planning their wedding for next year, said they may do it at the Palms too because it was so lovely. Then we checked into our Oceanfront Superior Room, and were completely and immediately transported into honeymoon mode! The room itself was fabulous with spectacular views, luxe bathrobes and slippers, extremely comfortable bed, perfect temperature and a living room space for hosting visitors. From the 6th floor we had sweeping views of the grounds and the ocean and thoroughly enjoyed watching other weddings take place in the gazebo and tiki hut down below. Love is in the air here, literally. Considering how much you get, the price is very appealing. Lots of value. Thank you Palms for a truly unforgettable experience!

our wishes came true. She was attentive,friendly, helpful. In some words, she was an all-in-one wonderful coordinator. She was present for us since the day we arrived at the hotel until the end of our wedding day, making sure everything is perfect to us. YES, PERFECT. She even went out of her way and do certain things that some vendors refused to do. The Palms hotel & Spa is a stunning venue to have an outdoor wedding. We married at the beach, had our cocktail hours at the gazebo and our reception at the veranda. The food was delicious , the staff are very friendly. The staff working on the day of our wedding were friendly and attentive to not only towards my Husband and myself, but also very attentive towards our guest. All our wedding guest are amazed about how beautiful our wedding was. The Palms was everything and all we wished for. Thank you the Palms for making our dream wedding to come true.

nd stayed at The Palms or their sister hotel, Circa 39. We also had our welcome/rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch at The Palms Tiki Hut, which were both lovely and allowed us to have more time with our guests all in one place! Yasmin, Paul, and the rest of the staff are absolutely incredible to work with. We fell in love with The Palms when we first visited last year and initially we were concerned about whether the ballroom would be big enough for our party, but it could not have been more perfect and trust me, there is plenty of space! The Palms is made for weddings - it is a tropical oasis in the heart of Miami Beach, with tons of amazing spots for pictures. We were married in the gazebo garden at dusk and the lighting was beautiful. Yasmin worked with my mom and me every step of the way, on each and every detail imaginable, and she truly made our wedding vision come to life. She is warm, friendly, and professional, and she went above and beyond to work with us, our day-of-coordinator, and other vendors to pull all of the (many) pieces together and make it look easy! We had our cocktail hour on the verandah terrace and reception in the Royal Palm ballroom. The food is exceptional, the lighting and event spaces are gorgeous, and every staff member we interacted with at The Palms prioritized making our guests and us happy and comfortable. I can't speak highly enough about our wedding experience at The Palms and with Yasmin. What could have been a stressful process was seamless and enjoyable thanks to Yasmin and her team. Book The Palms for your wedding!!!!

was so helpful and patient throughout all the planning and on our wedding day especially, I didn't have to worry about a thing. The food here is delicious, the staff are so friendly and attentive and the space is truly a tropical dream. We chose the veranda deck as the venue for our reception and was beyond words. I had a vision and Yasmin and everyone at the Palms turned it into our absolute dream wedding. Paul was our banquet manager as well and he was the best! We loved everyone and everything about our wedding weekend at The Palms! I cannot recommend you all and this venue enough! Thank you, FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

We started working with Carlos, who left the property a few months before my wedding. I have to admit I was a little nervous, but they notified me right away and once I spoke with Vanessa Linares I knew I was in good hands. I cannot say enough good things about her, she is friendly, responsive, patient, very detailed and thorough, and professional. We also worked with Juan Carlos and Paul, who were the best dynamic duo!!! They were there for the entire wedding making sure everything went as planned, which it did! My husband and I did not have to worry about one thing and we got to actually enjoy the reception. Vanessa, Juan Carlos, and Paul went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless! The food was great and we received many compliments from the guests. Brenda and Scott worked on our room block reservations, we had 60+ rooms booked and they did a great job of keeping everything organized and getting the welcome bags to each guest. (We had 150 guests, the vast majority were from out of town.) Pedro G who worked at the pool bar was a delight and quite popular with our guests that lounged outside/by the pool. The entire staff (bellman – Max, front desk employees – Moises H and Eurique) were all very friendly and helpful. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you Palms for making everything on my wedding day/weekend absolutely PERFECT! I can’t wait to come back to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!
