This venue was overall everything I wanted! We wanted to have a little bit of the beach, feel without having to be outside for hours, and the inside is beautiful with the high ceilings. We booked this venue in February 2022 and the staff was very flexible with the number of guests and payments that had to be made leading up to November 11, 2023. as we got closer to the date, Shantal was very helpful in helping me finalize the final details and helping me book any other vendors that I needed. The last week before the wedding day my coordinator was in constant communication with the venue to ensure everything would be perfect and Racquel was amazing the day of. Racquel ensured that me and my now husband got hors dâoeuvres from happy hour as well as drinks, and she even went out of her way to take pictures of us on her phone, while the photographer was taking a few. I think thatâs a nice detail to mention, because at the end of the night I wanted to make sure I had some thing to see! Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about this venue, and I really recommend for anyone to book them and to have Shantal as your point person. Reviewed on 18-11-2023

Kamila Gomez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-01-2023 Vista Lago was one of the places I saw on the internet while looking for a venue for my wedding, and when I saw it I fell in love with it. My partner and I decided to go, it was the first venue we visited and when we went we fell in love with the place much more. The attention was special from the first moment. The owners of the place were very kind as well as all the team members. They were always ready to help, to answer our questions and give us solutions. They took care of every detail of the wedding. and they met our expectations. The wedding planner was on top of everything and was very helpful. All we can say is Thank you Vista Lago and everyone on the team for making our day special. Reviewed on 03-02-2023
Adeline Leon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-02-2022 Vista Lago was AMAZING!! We got married here about 10 months ago and we STILL get nostalgic about our wedding there. Here are some highlights:1. When the groom dropped off our wedding decorations (ie signs, garlands, framed pictures, etc) he didnât even need to give them instructions on where to put them, they took care of arranging everything and it looked perfect. Thereâs nothing I would change.2. Their wedding package was practically all-inclusive. We had the venue, caterer, bartenders, and DJ all taken care of; we also went with their cake baker and florist recommendations. All we had to find were the photographers and officiant. Seeing other couples stressing out about finding and coordinating with all those vendors made us that much more grateful for Vista Lago. We didnât hire a wedding planner and never felt that we needed to.3. Multiple guests commented on how much they loved the food and how great the service was, from the servers who were attentive to those with dietary restrictions to the bartenders who remembered peopleâs drinks orders when they returned to the bar. 4. I canât say enough great things about the day-of coordinator. The pace of our wedding flowed so nicely because of her. There were no lulls and nothing felt rushed. They have so many weddings here that they have the whole process DOWN and everything ran like clockwork.5. The PRICE!! At the end of the day, the bill went well above the base price but that was because of all of our add-ons toward the end, which we would not have chosen had we surpassed our budget. Weâve been to weddings with much bigger budgets where the experience wasnât nearly as enjoyable as our wedding was at Vista Lago.A few areas of improvement, because nobodyâs perfect:1. Communication with Raquel and Jose was a challenge sometimes. I know theyâre incredibly busy, but we were sometimes confused about the best contact method (text? email? another email?). Weâre from out-of-town and had no one local to help with anything so that was stressful sometimes.2. It would be really helpful to have instructions with a timeline of what should be arranged with them at certain times, like food tastings, linen choices, etc and the final deadline to request any add-ons.3. Although I was thrilled with my choice of add-ons, nobody ever told me about them. I just happened to see Vista Lagoâs Instagram pictures of another wedding that had some of those details, like different charger plates. It wouldâve been great if they had all of their options outlined somewhere in the documentation (along with the prices) so you can check the boxes of what you want and email it to them by a certain date to avoid miscommunications. I felt like our choices were made last-minute and haphazardly.All in all, we would 100% recommend Vista Lago as a wedding venue!! Raquel, Jose, the day-of coordinator (so sorry I donât remember her name!) and the rest of their team created our perfect dream wedding. Reviewed on 11-12-2022
Roxana Hernandez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-05-2022 Vista Lago is amazing. I got married this weekend on May 13, 2022, and immediately had to write a review. The entire staff and crew were the best. We started planning our wedding last year with Vista Lago and everything came out perfectly!!! Jose and Raquel are the sweetest. RJ was incredibly fast and responsive. Veronica was so good at maintaining the entire wedding on schedule and such a sweetheart. I also have to give an big shout-out to Rob the DJ. Every guest kept saying how much fun they had because he definitely brought that MIAMI HEAT! Request him if you can. The cook also killed it by serving up such delicious food. The waiters and bartenders were so attentive and nice. I have nothing but love for this venue and if you can I definitely recommend it! Have your wedding here and you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks, Vista Lago for everything. You made the wedding of our dreams come true. Reviewed on 17-05-2022
Rebecca David(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-02-2022 Good location, but great pricing. Everything was included. The DJ is the bomb!! My friends still speak about him 3 months later. The food was delicious (the steak is medium), but everything was great. The cake and flowers which are included were also very good, although different affiliated vendors. And the drinks and bartender were good as well. The staff is amazing! The event coordinator and the day of person were super helpful. We live in VA, and the coordinator had zoom meetings with us and allowed my parents to do the tasting. The day of coordinator kept our drinks filled and ensured the party ran smoothly. The couple who run the place can be annoying and hard to work with at times. They sometimes go back on their word, so make sure you get everything in writing. They did let us postpone twice though, thanks Covid. Overall everything worked out and we and our guests had an amazing time. I would definitely do a party there again. Reviewed on 28-04-2022
Katherine Piña(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-04-2022 Brides! You will thank me if you decide to go with the venue. They kept my husband and I organized and up to date with our payments and decor. This venue not only brought our dream wedding to life but they genuinely cared about us as people which is hard to find nowadays. The ballroom is beautiful inside and the view of the lake for the ceremony is gorgeous, especially at sunset.

Matthew Gostel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2022 Getting married during a pandemic is not easy. Having a wedding a couple of weeks after the holiday peak was even harder. The stress of having a wedding plus the stress of all the unknown was difficult. However, Jose, Raquel, and the rest of the staff made it is as easy as possible. Jose answered all of my questions and answered all of my calls. He never added any stress or worries. He made me comfortable every step of the way. The wedding itself was beautiful. The venue is simple and gorgeous. You could dress it up or leave it as is, like we did. The food was delicious. Guests are still talking about it two months later. The DJ also took the time to look at our music preference and made it happen. 100% recommend! Reviewed on 26-03-2022

They took the time to explain every detail of what Vista Lago would offer us if we chose them for our wedding. Having previously been guests there at one of our best friendâs wedding, we knew the quality was top notch. That helped us make the decision to book with them for our big day. Honestly, itâs the best all-inclusive event location in Miami. What you get for what you pay is beyond what you would expect. In the 6 months between our booking and the wedding day, Raquel was available to answer every single question I had (which, when planning a wedding mid-pandemic ends up being many more questions than normal). She was patient and helpful every step of the way, always cheerful and friendly. On the day, they took care of EVERYTHING. Every single piece of decor, every detail, was arranged exactly how we had asked for it to be. As soon as our ceremony ended, we were asked what we wanted to drink, they made sure to have a plate with the food our guests were enjoying during the cocktail hour to make sure we didnât miss out, they bustled my dress, went over our music selections to make sure when we entered the reception the rest of the night would be just as perfect. The food is delicious! Several guests commented afterwards how much they loved it. The music was awesome...they listened to what we asked for and delivered 100% of it. We were so happy on our wedding day and love that we get to reminisce on how wonderful it was thanks to everyone at Vista Lago! Canât recommend it enough! Reviewed on 21-02-2021

Raquel and her team are well organized, and I never felt uncomfortable reaching out, as they were more than happy to respond to me each time. If all wedding coordinators modeled their style, all brides and grooms would have a much seamlessly time planning their weddings. Our wedding was 01/01/2021 and everything was stunning and perfect. Everything looked more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Our vision came to life and it was a dream come true. We are in love with all our wedding details and wish to do it all over again.

Christa Villamizar(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-12-2019 For all your celebrations needs, we highly recommend Vista Lago Ballroom. The fact that its all inclusive truly helps individuals who are always on the go. This team ensures you're vision comes to life. Jose, Raquel, Ceci and Leidys were always available each step of the way ensuring any questions were answered no matter how many times we asked. This team exudes such professionalism at all times. We appreciate all the hard work as the staff at Vista Lago Ballroom made everything seem effortless. From the beginning we wanted our ceremony to take place outside. Mother Nature had other plans and it rained non-stop. Raquel and Ceci reached out asking where to place the arch and I went with my gut and recommended it be placed outside. I was clear if it rained, the ceremony would be moved inside. Upon arrival Ceci and Raquel told me the weather cooperated and we were ready to move the wedding outside in the cemented area since the grass area was damp. I had no problem with that compromise and the ceremony took place which is what we had envisioned. We want to take a moment to thank Ceci for taking care of business. She ensured everything flowed without a hitch. We thank her for making sure our small wedding court knew where the needed to go, that James and I ate after the ceremony, she helped me with my wedding bustle within 5 seconds. Just exceptional! Ceci always had a smile on her face and was an absolute delight. All the positive things that can be said of her, it all applies. Ceci you made this date the absolute best. We loved the layout of the gift table, the welcome poster, everything. Our guests cannot stop raving about the food/ceremony bites, bar area, location, ease of parking, ceremony/reception layout. Everything was top notch. DJ Roly was on it with the music and accommodated all of our needs! Our guests danced the night away. DJ Roly is a true master in his craft. We also recommend using Florida booth for your photo booth needs. Because it was Christmas time we had Xmas and wedding props. Our guests loved the Grinch and reindeer masks and that they could keep prints. We can't wait to see the cloud version. In conclusion, Vista Lago went above and beyond for our wedding.

Everything ran right on schedule, but the staff have a way of making everyone feel comfortable, relaxed and at home without any of the rush and hassle weâve experienced at other facilities. You can attribute that to their level of preparedness. They arranged everything - the food, music and party games, and happily accommodated a few surprises we arranged for the bride, groom and guests. We didnât really have to lift a finger or put out any fires. The food was very, very good and I think itâs more than fair to say our guests had a great time. I should also add the pricing here was excellent, easily to the low side of the quotes we received. This proved especially impressive in lieu of the quality of the reception they provided for us.

Genesis Aquino Martinez(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-03-2019 Our experience with Vista Lago was great!! We had an awesome wedding and enjoyed our special day very much. We received plenty of compliments on all the decorations and the way the hall looked that day. Leydis was very sweet and made me feel ensured that everything would go smoothly the day of the wedding, as well as provided great suggestions. The day of the wedding Cecilia took care of everything in a phenomenal way and made sure I didn't have to raise a finger for anything (Thank you so much Cecilia!!). The reason that I am giving them four stars instead of five is because the day of the wedding I had multiple guests tell me the serving staff was rude to them and one of them even dropped a cup of the soda on the table and just left it there, did not clean it up right away. Obviously the day of the wedding that was very awkward and embarrassing to hear such complaints. I let Cecilia know and like a true professional she addressed it immediately. Also the whole time leading up to the wedding I was dealing with and communicating with Leydis, which made me feel at ease because I had met with her personally several times and she knew exactly every little detail for the day of the wedding. On the actual day I was kind of blindsided to see Cecilia there, whom I had not built rapport with at all and had not discussed everything with in detail. I feel that being informed prior that Cecilia was going to be my coordinator the day of the wedding and having a chance to build rapport with her would have been better and made me feel better. The reason this was an issue for me was because the day of the wedding although the centerpieces were beautiful they were not the way I have discussed and chosen with Leydis the day of my tasting so I was a little bummed about that. Overall my experience was great and I would recommend them to my friends, there are just little things that should be addressed. Thank you to everyone at Vista Lago for an amazing wedding!!

Not to mention she made sure I ATE!! I was never without food or drinks. She is AMAZZINGGG!! Raquel and Jose are so sweet and they really took the time during my first appointment to listen to my wants and make sure I stayed within my budget. Cecilia was incredible as well making sure that all my messages reached Leydis and even returning my missed call the day of the wedding. Finally, DJ Roly ..

Dorkis Iglesias(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2018 When looking for my wedding venue, I was very decided on not wanting a wedding in a ballroom, I wanted an outside wedding. I looked at 3 different outside venues with different prices. I was having a big wedding with a low budget which began to be impossible to make it happen. I was recommended Vista Lago ballroom by a family member, I wasnât sure if to go see it because it was a ballroom which was not my first choice. As I walked in to the ballroom and saw the drapped chandeliers, the view of the lake and the greeting by Cecilia and Leydis, I knew I had found my wedding venue. Not only is the ballroom breathtakingly gorgeous, and the people so willing to make your day perfect, but they have the best prices in all of Miami. When I say best prices I donât mean cheap prices for a cheap wedding, I mean reasonable pricing for an amazing wedding! With the help of Leydis, Cecilia and Raquel, my day couldnât have been more perfect. I will forever be thankful to them for making the most important day of my life as smooth and worry less as possible. Cecilia was tiying my shoes throughout the whole night, while Leydis was making sure my husband and I were eating and anything we needed we just looked up and they were there. And letâs not forget DJ roly that played the exact music I wanted to hear on my wedding and kept the party going for the whole night! Thank you guys so much for everything! I definitely recommend Vista Lago Ballroom above any other venue in Miami! Reviewed on 22-12-2018
Natalia Mafla(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2018 My husband and I got Married here at Vista Lago 11.4.18. We booked this place way in advance and since day one the Vista Lago Team was amazing. Vista Lago was our first stop and like any couple we didnât want to commit to the first place even though we both new in our hearts and instincts this was the place. We did one stop after and returned right away. The package is great. Great value for what you get to make this any bride and grooms special day. Days before the big day Leydis was hands on to ensure we had everything perfect. Allan and I are music snobs so we had high demand of music and between Raquel, Leydis and ROLY they brought our vision to life. They donât offer a rehearsal unless you pay and at first it had me worried but being we got married on a Sunday and friends coming from out of town it was hard for us anyways. They reassured me it will be ok and they didnât disappoint. Their structure is so organized you would think you rehearsed 100 times. I didnât get to eat much but the few bites I took of the steak was delicious, our guests raves about the food. Theyâre so maticlous with every detail. The day was perfect thanks to them. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone planning a special event. Note to brides it goes by so fast so book the extra hour itâs worth it. Thank you Vista Lago. Reviewed on 11-12-2018

They made sure the groom and I ate, kept us hydrated, held my veil for the pictures, fixed my dress when needed, applied lipstick on me several times, and even went to the bathroom with me a few times.

The owners and coordinators really pour their heart and soul into their work, ensuring that you're taken care of. I think this is one of the best \"bang for your back\" venues in Miami -- we did a lot of research and no other place beat the price for the value that you're receiving (beautiful space, good food, etc). We loved the inclusive packages they offered and how they were flexible when it came to accommodating our specific needs and requests. We received great feedback from our guests as well -- it was truly a party! Just like we wanted it to be.I did wish their staff was more response to my email correspondence leading up to the big day, but I understand they are running a large operation with only a few people. I learned phone was the best way to reach them if you had any questions. The parking lot isn't the largest, so we had guests that had to park out on the street.

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2017 On April 16, 2016, David and I were provided with excellent service at Vista Lago Ballroom, and we are truly appreciative. We had been to and seen so many venues, both near and far. We were then highly recommended to Vista Lago Ballroom by a dear friend (Missy). So we met with Jose and Raquel Salcedo, a husband and wife team. We are so delighted we did, especially after seeing so many other options we have here in South Florida. We decided then to book at Vista Lago Ballroom, we made the right choice. They made it easy, with great packages and reasonable prices; however, upholding the highest levels of integrity. The outside of this stand-alone building is beautiful. Private parking and itâs all gated. The view of the lake and ceremony area is breath taking. The outdoor patio is large enough to accommodate your entire party. The bathrooms inside have granite counter tops and modern. The ceiling is high with beautiful chandeliers and wood floors. Very elegant. We had many comments from our guests, young and the not so young, on the quality of your service, food, and staff. The food, oh wow!!! We had a buffet style buffet with Churrasco with chimichurri sauce, (to die for) cook to perfection. There was also Pork (Lechon Asado) tender - YUMMMM, the sides were Congri and a mixed medley of vegetables. Please also take note that we also had a few guests that are Vegan and the Chef made sure they were also accommodated as well. THANK YOU Chef Miguel AngelTheir staff was very attentive and helpful. We interacted directly with on several occasions, especially with Raquel and Darlene, who were very knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in helping us finalize all the little details for our wedding, they gave great input and suggestion for items that met our needs rather than just being focused on making a quick sale.The DAY of your event, they assure you with nothing to worry about. They are at your side at every minute. You have no choice but to relax and enjoy the festivities. They are on top of EVERYTHING. Including at the end of your event, making sure you have all your belongings and packed very nicely any left-over food.We would also like to express our appreciation on the incredible job DJ Carlos Rodriguez did at our Wedding. The music was fantastic and he played all the songs we requested. We couldnât have asked for a more professional fun filled DJ. We thank you for keeping the crowd jumping. I think the music at a wedding reception itâs just as important as the venue and the food: we certainly hit a trifecta on the above. Our guests had a wonderful time and we believe that was a part of and thanks to the DJâs selection of music, and the sensible volume at which it was played. Please thank him for us for the wonderful job he did at our Wedding. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE⊠thumbs up!!!! Reviewed on 07-06-2016
Madie Bitondo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-02-2017 My wedding is in February 2017 at Vista Lago Ballroom. We have are having both or ceremony and reception at this venue. I booked the venue back in November 2016. I visited a few places before this one and I can honesty say I got goosebumps when I enter the ballroom. It was EXACTLY what I wanted! Simple, Classic and Beautiful. It has clean lines, wood floors and beautiful chandeliers (with high high ceilings). Both Jose and Raquel have been magnificent. Raquel knew my vision from the minute I gave her an idea of what it was and she made me feel so comfortable. I trust her! Jose was so helpful with the food and open bar. They both made suggestions and never made us feel pressured. We have been making monthly payments to the Vista Lago that we could afford since we are expecting 140-175 guests and they have worked with you every step of the way. It so refreshing! I look forward to having my wedding at the privately hidden beautiful venue in Miami. I know my family flying NY and George and I Family in South Florida will love it! Reviewed on 17-05-2016

Anonymous (wedding party)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2017 I was a guest at a wedding at this place and it was horrible. While the ceremony was going on all of the walkie talkies were going off, my friends face (the bride) was shocking. She was super upset. The view was horrible with all of the construction going on. The food was disgusting and the drinks sucked they only had wine, and vodka. I had to drink wine because Vodka gives me a headache. STAY AWAY!!!!! Super unprofessional. Reviewed on 01-10-2015

I wish I could give zero stars for this venue since I had the most awful experience there! The manager was completely rude and non-accommodating for me, a guest at my brothers wedding. I had asked the manager if I could nurse my daughter in a private space during the reception in a room where the bride and bridesmaids had gotten ready, and he told me to go take my daughter to the bathroom. I said no because the bathrooms are gross and I would not feed my daughter there. His exact response to us was \"this is my business and house, and I make the rules\" which I felt was the rudest response I could ever imagine! Additionally, the restroom doesn't even have a changing table for guest with small children. Needless to say, this place is not family friendly and the staff is not flexible. I would not recommend it....\r\rPS- the \"lake\" behind the building is more like a water reservoir and had TONS of flies and bugs. Many of our pictures had nats and flies on our guest- it was gross!

stephanie diaz(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-06-2012 Raquel and Jose were very nice. However, the day of the wedding I asked for there not be too much announcing of things because it could take away from the elegance of the wedding. Raquel took it upon herself to announce EVERYTHING. She could have asked the waiters to tell the guests that their was food being served, we only had seven tables. She yelled into the microphones and announced when there was every little thing being served. \r\rUnfortunately, my mother tasted the food that they provided and I had not had a chance to taste the food until the day of the wedding. \rI will say this, the appetizers were excellent and delicious.\rThe main course tasted like \"wedding food\". It tasted cheap and not good. It was very disappointing, but at least the appetizers were good. Reviewed on 06-07-2012

Stina LoGalbo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2011 Our wedding was a dream come true! I had so many questions beforehand because of so many horror stories Ive read about venues and surprise costs. My husband and I were on a tight budget so I needed to be crystal clear of everything. \r\rRaquel and Jose were both amazing to work with! They were so patient with me and addressed all of my concerns and there were no hidden surprises. We had our ceremony and reception both at their home, which is a beautiful and yet quaint and very personal style venue. We didnt want a traditional ballroom type setting since we are both family people. It was so warm and inviting and really gave us and our guests that it was the \"Grand Treatment\"! \r\rWe had rain plans and were completely and fully covered. My husband's father went into hopsital on emergency and so his parents couldnt make it, so we were going through alot of emotional swings and they knew how to handle it all, seamlessly! They do this so often and have it down to a science. The dances, the everything! \r\rRaquel made it very simple to plan and allowed us to have the fun we hoped to have. She gave us tips and fed us horduerves during our photo shoots to ensure we had what we needed. \r\rThe food was delicious! The photos came out beautiful! The place was gorgeous. The music was awesome and we danced ALL NIGHT LONG! It was the most magical night of both of our lives. \r\rTrust Raquel and Jose.
