Villa Woodbine

. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, and that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! I highly recommend Bill Hansen Catering for your event needs and especially Villa Woodbine for a wedding.

able. Our family and friends have not stopped talking to us about how amazing the venue was, how great the food was and how much fun they had. The food from Bill Hansen Catering was so delicious and everything from apps to dessert was so fresh. If you are looking for a venue you can stop because this is by far the best!!

ing ceremony and the follow-up reception turned out to be a blast. Everything was very meticulously arranged and the event turned out to be great success. The wedding stage, the reception, valet parking, bar, dinner, dancing, music, lighting and every other small detail was very well taken care of by Ms Eden’s team. Everything went so smoothly. All our guests were very happy and all of them complemented very highly on the site, the lighting and the décor. We are very indebted to Ms Eden for providing us such a lovely experience.

1st. She knows and understands her business and does it with integrity all while hold value to who she is and the business she stands for. Living in South Florida for 6 months now I have come across A-LOT of terrible service, what South Florida lacks is Eden. She deserves to be featured in magazines because they don’t make them like her anymore. Thank you Eden and Villa Woodbine for a dream come true. I am so lucky to have had you on our wedding day.

up so quickly. They offered helpful recommendations which made our wedding planning process so seamless. Found all vendors on the Villa Woodbine Instagram- highly recommend Summer Nicole for day of coordinator and Erika at Miami Center Pieces for florals! Our guests had the best time and told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had! We agree! The unique drinks and creative apps were very impressive and I am a big time foodie!! All in all our wedding was an absolute dream from the planning process to the execution. Gen is a true delight to work with and went above and beyond for us! Also Lina with Lyt Productions was an angel with helping plan all of the live musicians and hora loca dancers! If you want your wedding planning process to be stress free and want an incredible event to wow your guests, you absolutely have your wedding at Villa Woodbine!! We heard peacocks during the exchanging of our vows, what more can you ask for!!!

nd drinks all night long. And it is an easy place to get married - our venue manager was prompt and answered all our questions and helped us through our two-year postponement, the event staff put up everything and seamless merged the ceremony area into the dinner area, and the wait staff was incredibly prompt and polite (the bar tender came out from behind the bar at one point to ask if there was anything she could get me). For a wedding that was so long in the making, everything went so fast and so we’ll I wish we could’ve spent more time at the venue.

ad through Coconut Grove, you would never know. Its tucked away and feels so secluded, but its so close to hotels, restaurants, and other things for our guests to do. It feels quintessentially "Miami" without going over the top. We could go on. Absolutely incredible venue.

edgeable. Last, the wedding is stunning! My wife and I got so many compliments on our wedding day and the pictures are breathtaking. I cannot recommend this place enough!

ler, photo booth, deserts, midnight snacks... I chose not to get a wedding planner and thought I was able to do it all since the venue was so inclusive and helpful. I would def. recommend you to consider this gorgeous venue as I know all of my guest were blown away. It was truly a fairytale wedding for us.

mmend Villa Woodbine (and Eden!)!!

itself it’s absolutely gorgeous and photographs SO well! We loved that the venue provided catering through Bill Hansen, which was delicious and highly reviewed by our guests. Overall amazing experience with Villa Woodbine and the team. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!

d Spanish architectural design and is right off South Bayshore Drive, conveniently located less than a mile from Coconut Grove, but you would never know because as soon as you go up that driveway you feel like you are transported to Miami in the 1920s or old world Europe. Villa Woodbine is stunning during the day - sunlight fills the courtyard and highlights the stunning bougainvillea and fauna around the house - but at night, the Villa is pure magic. The string lights light up the entire back lawn and paint a perfect scene of what a romantic wedding should look like. We chose to have our ceremony in an unconventional part of the lawn with jungle greens as our backdrop and could not be more happy with how everything turned out. Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning it was! In addition to the Villa itself, we cannot say enough great things about the food and the customer service of the VW staff. The food is incredible. You will not be getting standard wedding food here - this is high end restaurant quality. Not only is it the best wedding food we’ve ever had, but the Bill Hansen Catering staff worked with us to create a unique menu based on anything we desired. We chose two of their classic stations, the Cuban and the Fire and Ice, but we also made our own station based on our travels to France, Spain, and Thailand. They absolutely nailed it and the green curry with rice was one of the best rated items on our menu! They were extremely flexible in working with what we wanted. Our one complaint with the venue was based around the rescheduling of dates since we had to reschedule twice due to the pandemic. They gave away a date that we had reserved. However, the staff took full responsibility for their mistake. In the end, we chose a Monday wedding date and the staff made even more of an effort to make it feel like a Saturday night. As the bride, I chose to get ready with my bridesmaids at the Villa in the bridal suite where we had our own access to the balcony overlooking the courtyard and back lawn. I could not have been happier to spend the day getting ready at Villa Woodbine and being able to take full advantage of our venue. We didn’t want the night to end and cannot recommend Villa Woodbine enough!

ity to the garden that seems to be care by real fairies. I have no words to thank Genevieve and Jenni who made my life so easy by answering all my questions and taking care of every little detail. They were the architects of my perfect day; a day I could live in forever. All guests’ compliments of the evening were for the food and service (Ribs, Stake and Risotto) and the Mango Mojito was a plus. I think all brides panic and wonder during the planning process if we chose the perfect dress, the right colors, the perfect place. Villa Woodbine surpassed the perfection of my dream. Magic took over the evening making of the day a precious unforgettable memory.

s more than gracious with her time. She helped us through every step of the way, even getting out ahead of the rain by setting us up with the tent beforehand. The venue was magical, the food to die for (our guest still talk about how delicious all of it was)....there was no place I could've chosen that would ever top Villa Woodbine. Thank you for a perfect night!

vieve, who is so sweet, patient, & helpful! I highly recommend checking the venue out in person. They have everything you need in terms of food, decor, entertainment, etc.

hank you to Marissa and Eden for all your hard work and dedication!

one call - all while planning a wedding during the ever changing pandemic. We booked the Villa in May of 2020 without seeing it in person (we lived outside of Miami, Florida) and our wedding didn’t take place until September of 2021 and Gipsy sent us every photo, video, FaceTime tour possible until we were able to see it in December of 2020. Because we had a September wedding, our date included a tent - which we were so thankful to have in the miami heat and humidity. The chandelier lighting and beautiful linens were just perfect. Gipsy and the Villa Woodbine team helped us bring our dream wedding to life. Thank you, Gipsy and team! ❤️

ed for. We were looking for a place that didn't feel like a typical ballroom, that felt more intimate, homey, more like us. When my husband went to see the venue, it immediately took him back to his family's house in Spain - so we knew this was the one.

aids. I had 11 girls and there than enough space. We brought food a no s snacks. Eden was my wedding planner abs shes was absolutely amazing. She helps from the moment you start until the day you get married. She makes sure the wedding planning process is smooth. I highly reccomend her. The food was perfect , the drinks are amazing. All my guest has such an amazing time !!!! Please please don’t think twice about getting married here !! You won’t regret it

s so kind enough to drop the samples off when heading home.

er than the original plan. We had our ceremony at Vizcaya (originally planned whole wedding here) and reception at Villa. The Villa staff was kind, accommodating, everything turned out beautiful, and felt so intimate. Love the outdoor ambiance that we had at Villa and the food with Bill Hansen was amazing!

king in you are transported to a villa in Italy.. The vibe is amazing and you really feel like you're away. Our destination wedding felt perfect even though we were in the Grove. Besides the Venue being spectacular, we were then blessed with meeting Gipsy. This woman is a super hero! She truly does it all, and all the while keeping tabs on our budget. The food was delicious, the staff was professional, helpful and all COVID procedures were followed. I can't say enough about how we were treated.. Villa Woodbein has weddings or other events daily, (not on the same day! You have the Villa all to yourselves the day of) yet we were treated like we were the only people to ever have a party there!! Check it out and you'll be scheduling your event there immediately. You won't be disappointed. It's paradise!! Thanks again to the whole team, especially Gipsy!

actly the same. I am so thankful for all their help and guidance. Highly recommended it. It made planning my wedding a very easy experience.

e to reorganize an amazing outdoor wedding. I cannot thank her enough, she helped me reorganize everything in just two months. She is AMAZING, so sweet, professional, understanding, knowledgeable and willing to help you with anything you need, and trust me I am a very picky bride. There are no words to describe how beautiful and perfect my wedding day was. This location is truly magical and its team is so special which makes it unique (after dealing with very unprofessional people in other places you have no idea how grateful I am to have found Eden at Villa Woodbine). Also, regarding COVID, you can feel safe as they require all their team to be tested. Don't think twice and get married at this inimitable and romantic venue! Thank you Eden and thank you Villa Woodbine!!

lace was magical and resulted in truly the greatest night of our lives!

ne after a bit of research, and the rest is history! We met with Genevieve at the venue (she is a rockstar, by the way) and planned our dream wedding in less than 3 months. They were able to see our vision and pair us with the most incredible vendors. From the food, to the decor, to the cocktails, everything turned out perfect and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. It truly was such a fun, easy, and wonderful experience! I wish we could do it all over again.

so perfect. The team was incredible, starting with the fact that we got married through the pandemic. Eden and Marissa were so helpful with everything even after having to postpone they were in constant contact with us updating us with all changes. Finally the day came and we got to say I do in front of all of our friends and family. Even in the middle of a rainstorm the staff made sure all of our needs were met. The raindrops made the clear tent even more beautiful. You plan for this day for such a long time expecting some things to go wrong but at this beautiful venue with this amazing team everything was PERFECT!

h and helped us every step of the way. As non-frilly bride, I appreciated her realness and her tips and tricks, including vendor recos and decor touches. If you want a picturesque garden wedding (with amazing food and drinks) that will give your guests a unique experience and a taste of Miami's timeless charm, choose Villa Woodbine.

had to go through many people which may be normal but I did not like having 3 different contacts to tell things to and they all ended up with different info or answers. On our wedding day after finalizing all things with the venue with Lissette (whom we never saw and apparently switched to Ann day of which concerns me as well), we were missing Our “Mr.” welcome drink of Flor De Cana and fresh mango juice, the rum we chose for the bar was never purchased and my coordinator had them go get it, the dried mangoes on the salads was missing completely, and the rectangular sweetheart table we asked for was the half moon which didn’t go with my garland made by my florist specially for the 6 ft rectangular one we asked for. This was all verified on our final meeting so it was a bit sad that it wasn’t communicated properly to the staff running it that day. They rectified the welcome drink immediately and ran out and bought the rum we had asked for. Communication could have been better And more consistent as we also ended up with an event manager we had never met before, it was not the one we met with on our final meeting who promised to be running things day of. On occasion our invoices were incorrect which concerned me and worried us as it was not consistent and prices kept rising. Other than that food was great, everyone loved it! They brought the groom and I a plate of anything we asked for if we were too busy to eat it, and sent us home with two boxes of desserts which was great and left the extra desserts in the dinning room and people really went to town on them. Delicious!!!!! The service day of was top notch though. The bartenders were super fun and seemed to enjoy their job which I loved. The servers were so nice and always asked me if I needed anything. Our guests had an absolute blast and loved the vibe of the venue and kept saying how beautiful and nice it was there. They are still talking about it! Regardless of the heat we had an amazing time and really enjoyed ourselves! Didn’t stop dancing all night. Thank you again Villa Woodbine for an amazing event!! And thank you Valentina!!

n the food as well. They had options for every taste and style.

ct tree to get married under and eating el fresco under the stars surrounded by the lush and well manicured garden created such a magical moment for us and our guests. It was also nice to have the dance floor inside the courtyard so the music wouldn't drown out conversation. As an out of town bride Eden was a dream to work with and always took the time to answer my multiple emails throughout the planning process. Bill Hansen's in house catering team was also top notch. The food was unbelievable and the staff was polite, accommodating, and extremely professional. Could not have asked for a more perfect location and team to help me and my husband realize the wedding of our dreams.

and everything about the property and grounds gave us the most beautiful wedding. When planning our destination wedding (which went on for two years), Eden was incredible. Her professionalism, attention to detail and help was wonderful, she helped me organize and plan out everything, and even when I sent her late night emails with concerns, she responded quickly and reassured me every step of the way. Even with last minute changes a few days before the wedding, she took care of it all for us. Our on the day planner Liz was a joy to work with, she got it spot on. Their attention to detail is second to none. Their food is incredible, service is amazing and I cannot recommend Eden and the team enough. They exceeded every expectation in every single way.

ect backdrop for a magical night. Our guest raved about the food, the venue, and the attention to detail.

s really capture the beauty of the place. Highly recommend hosting your event at the Villa Woodbine. Beyond our expectations.

lso the food!!!!

d never seen a more beautiful venue. Amanda, Lia, Anthony, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond our expectations. I came to them with an idea of what I wanted my dream wedding to look like and they brought it to LIFE...even better than I had imagined! To all brides considering Villa Woodbine, you don't even have to think TWICE! You will forever be grateful.

r #1 priority. The venue was perfect and over flowing with plenty of places for guests to mingle & dance! And the planning time was painless as the staff handled all the details, no sweat! I am so grateful to Villa Woodbine to making our dream come true!

s of friendliness, great customer service, attentiveness and follow through with any request we had. We did not have a wedding planner, but we were extremely pleased with how Eden made everything happen exactly how we imagined and was there for us every step of the way answering any questions we had and assisting us with other vendors, from the first meeting until THE BIG DAY. The day of, everything came together really well, the place was absolutely gorgeous and the food was amazing! We loved working with Eden, she's such a sweetheart and seems to genuinely care about her clients. We also had the chance to meet Bill and talked to him for a little while, what a gentleman and very caring too. We're very thankful to Bill Hansen Catering for making our dream day possible.

y part of the property is stunning and our wedding day was truly magical and our guests enjoyed every moment! I would do it all over again if I could!

second of our day. Most of the time wedding food is not that great but all our guests raved about how wonderful the presentation of the food was and also how great all the food tasted. This went from the appetizers being passed to the dinner served!

venue offers a more reasonably priced and intimate alternative. FYI, Viscaya and Woodbine were designed by the same architect. Some features we fell in love with: - Courtyard with a fountain - we had our ceremony there. - Spanish tiles on the steps - gorgeous for photo shoots - Rustic/antique furniture and a Chihuly chandelier - Garden - we used this space for the reception but it could easily be used for the ceremony. A gorgeous space! This venue was everything we wanted and more. Guests were so impressed with how beautiful everything came out and are still raving about it. I'd highly recommend!

dating! We decided to use a day of coordinator as well and Brianna was a god send! She made sure everything ran smoothly on our day, coordinated the setup/cleanup of vendors, and stayed the entire night to make sure we got everything we needed. The food at Villa was great as well!! I had some picky eaters and they all said how great the food was from the appetizers to the main dinner. I am so happy I chose to get married at Villa!

for a wedding. Catering service was also on point. Food was very delicious which is not always the case with catering. Diego was our coordinator. He is great. He helped us with everything along the whole year process of planning and changing our minds a million times. Very patient, which I really appreciate. Overall, I wish I can do it again.

y wedding, they assigned my wedding to Eden. Eden stepped into the fold and did a great job supporting my vision and helping me figure it out. Also, Christina was my day of coordinator and she was very kind and extremely organized. I feel like I had so many last minute changes and Christina kept track of it all! And when certain things didn't go as planned, Christina was ready to tackle any and every situation. I am so thankful we worked together. From the property to the staff to the FOOD, everything was 5 stars. 10/10 would do it all again!

y around the world should be difficult, but they made sure it was anything but! Eden met with my sister-in-law initially who checked out the venue and came with a list of questions, she then met with us two other times before the wedding, and made sure everything was exactly what we wanted. Christina was a star, made me feel like an absolute celebrity. She took care of any issues that arose, and I didn't feel an ounce of stress the entire day. The venue couldn't be anymore beautiful - from the courtyard, to the bar area, dessert room, to the bridal suite, the tree, and the garden area, it is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The food is out of this world good - my guests couldn't compliment it enough. We just did the tacos, tapas, and milkshake martinis stations - which seems simple enough - but it was anything but that! Great detail was given to every aspect of the food and drinks. I'm sure all the coordinators at the venue are great, but if I had the chance to work with Christina again, I absolutely would. She is organized, professional, and very kind of genuine. It was truly a fairytale day!

ng a venue for a romantic wedding in Miami, you’re looking not only for a beautiful building, but a mix of European and States style, Villa Woodbine is a must! RIMAS FILMS just finished filming an outstanding wedding here and couldn’t have done it at a better venue. Intimate and colourful venue with its outstanding catering and the staff is just a dream! Everyone should experience Villa Woodbine at least once in their lifetime. If you would like to see the video: https://www.facebook.com/rimasfilms/videos/419245335086399/

rson catering fee. Things that are included: valet service (very professional and quick), catering service (best I've seen at a wedding), best wedding food in town, basic linens/napkins/silverware, bridal suite, basic size tables. (When we added these things together for another venue it came out to equally or more expensive.) Second, all of the people I worked with at Villa Woodbine, from Christina the day of wedding coordinator to Amanda our contact person at the Villa, were exceptionally nice/polite, and went above and beyond my expectations. Finally, the venue itself is extremely memorable. It is a hidden gem in Coconut Grove. I highly recommend!!

they care about you and your happiness thru the whole wedding planning process. Eden my coordinator from Bill Hansen Catering was really a very helpful person, nice and gentle. I really don't think I was a very "demanding bride" but some the days I went crazy with all the details and she answered all my questions and gave me so much peace. I couldn't be more grateful with all of the Bill Hansen Catering and Villa Woodbine team. Thank you!

. All of our needs and questions (I had many!) were taken care of, nothing was ever a problem. Leading up to the day we were in constant communication and we were confident that in Diego's hands, everything would run smoothly and we were right. Our wedding was beautiful, well organised and so much fun - Diego helped us with suggesting improvements and personal touches along the way and was an enormous help with everything from menu, budget, vendors, logistics and even took it upon himself to pick-up the kosher meals we ordered on the day of the wedding! Working with this phenomenal team put our minds at ease and all of our guests remarked on how beautiful our wedding was and how delicious the food was! It goes without saying that the venue itself was stunning and perfect! Thank you to Bill Hansen Catering and especially Diego Suarez!

olute pleasure to work with and helped me throughout the entire process. My guests were very pleased with the service they received the day of and the quality of the food and beverages. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

outdoors), without seeming corny or overdone. They have plenty of options if it rains, so I was never stressed throughout the wedding process about the weather. The food through their caterer was superb, and the staff was kind and patient (Kay Rivas was particularly a pleasure to work with). Villa Woodbine is superb.

answer any questions or help with any issues. Villa Woodbine is a beautiful place and we would have loved to have our wedding there. Although we cannot actually recommend the place, we definitely recommend working with Eden either at Villa Woodbine or any of the other vendors the company offers.

and made our wedding details come to life.

lla was exactly what we wanted! Being from Coconut Grove the Villa felt like home (partially because it’s in the Grove but also because of peacocks that roam the surrounding gardens) though with obvious differences. It is an intimate, elegant historic home with lush landscaping, hidden rooms to entertain, beautiful architecture and interior decorating, and to top it off spectacular service and food! The sales consultant Amanda was extremely attentive and supportive. I was so happy to be working with her! Then I met our day of coordinator, Christina. I was so excited about having Amanda, I was curious to see how things would go with Christina. Christina took the lead and it felt like a true team because of these ladies. They both went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend perfect! Seriously there should be some slip ups but there really weren’t! We received thank you letters from our guests about how beautiful the Villa was. When did guests start sending thank you letters to the wedding hosts?? It should be noted, the food was spectacular! When you go to a tasting you expect the food to come out perfectly cooked which it did, but to my surprise all the entrees came out perfect for our 120 guests. Well done Chef! Also, when touring the venue I was apprehensive about the dancefloor size and location, but after dancing the night away it was a perfect size. I could go on and on, but please know this location and their staff will not disappoint! Thank you Villa Woodbine and your staff for making our day so memorable!!
