This review is based on the experiences expressed by my guests and my personal observations. It is…read morenot a review of the venue itself but rather the sales/booking/ manager and staff. I find no pleasure in giving less than satisfactory reviews but this experience literally brought me to tears. VENUE First, the changes in venue were unsettling for me and concerning for invited guests. In spite of the fact that we had a contract for the Venetian I was given no choice in the change in venue to the Fire Tower. COMMUNICATION Communication was great in the beginning but seemed to drop off significantly after the change in venue and payment was made. DECOR The decor was simplistic and not at a "professional" level. The Table cloths were wrinkled. There was no coordination among the arrangements in the centerpieces - they seem to have been just thrown together. FOOD The food was not presented as I ordered it and was served at the Tasting. The food was cold and kid sized portions. The service was slow and disorganized. There was a lot of waste because few guests ate the food and complained it was not what they were told would be served. some guests arrived 50 minutes after dinner was served and were told the kitchen was closed. DJ The DJ didn't perform to expectations even though we provided the music and instructed him to play certain songs. MISC. Many guests were disturbed by the fact that a dog was walking through the venue during the party. I am sensitive to the fact that he may have been a "service dog" but it was not what is expected during a private party. As a matter of fact, one of my guests asked if she could bring her pet and she was told "no pets allowed" only to come and see a dog present. I pride myself on organization, attention to detail, and excellent service above all. This experience has negatively impacted my reputation. Some guests have said they would not attend future events I host. You would not have been in business as long as you have if the experience we had was typical of the level of service you deliver. And I would hate to think that it was indicative of the lack of value that was placed on my business. I wish you all the best in the future and hope this review leads to a better level of service for others.

I've been a member here for yearssss and it's always been the best. However in the last year, it's…read morealmost as if the club has accepted too many members beyond their capacity. Today, the beach was full. No more chairs no more umbrellas. For such an expensive membership, it seems crazy. They mentioned they're ordering more chairs and umbrellas so I hope to see that in the near future. One thing about this place: the servers, waiters, beach staff and bartenders are spectacular and never fail with amazing service and will always accommodate. 10/10 for these amazing people. Now to the food, I ordered burrata ($22) and it is supposed to come with arugula - I think I got 2 little pieces. Don't get me wrong. Yummy. But whenever I go it feels like they're rationing food. Got tuna tartar last time and after a 1.5 hour wait (no problem I know they're busy) I got the smallest little portion. Menus in the past have been better so I do wish they had more options. Lastly, a few weeks ago they issued these letters stating kids of members (23+) must start paying their own membership. Not sure how this is gonna go. Many people in the key Biscayne area are dependents of their parents and for them to deny kids of members when they've been members for years and their parents pay an insane amount for the club seems crazy. I think it needs to be addressed. Overall, good club but seems to be getting too full and I feel like there should be a waitlist or something because the exclusivity this club had before is not there anymore

I went here for the first time last night. I went to an event with food, drinks and a concert…read more Parking is $40 and it is right behind the venue. The venue where the food and drinks were was big and inviting. They had nice bars set up. I am not sure of this is how this place is set up normally. I won't comment on the service, food and drinks because I don't know if that is directly from the venue. I do know that their security was not as thorough as they should have been. One positive thing is they have a LOT of women's bathrooms. It sounds funny, but you ladies know that when there is a concert, there can be long waits to go. As far as the concert area, this reminded me of a big nightclub. There are no seats for the general public. VIP area had some seats that looked uncomfortable. Besides that, there were not many seats at all and far too many people in that area. This venue is behind Wynwood Marketplace and honestly, it is a pain to get to if you are walking here from the Marketplace. I would come back but only for an event that seems worth it.

We love this place! My wife and I have gone to events there and the venue is simply beautiful and…read morehas so much space, both indoor and outdoor. The grounds have been extensively renovated since we last went, and they always seem to be adding new things. The staff is very attentive and kind and they took the time to show us around the entire place while we were there. And the owners are very nice people and are very welcoming, too. They have invited my wife and I to play piano and violin there many times. We definitely recommend Villa Toscana to anyone looking for a great event venue, especially a wedding. It's perfect.

Working with the venue at first was easy, of course they are extremely nice to you when they are…read moretrying to get the wedding deposit. Once this happened it was like night and day. We were no longer the priority and it seemed like trying to get a hold of our wedding coordinator to was a mission, and every time we would get a hold of her to ask her questions she was only ever interested in nickle and diming us. I understand that the wedding industry is just unregulated price gouging, but you would have like to feel more like someone of value instead of just a money bag. Multiple unpleasant interactions lead us to try and contact the owner, John Svadbik. After multiple emails and phone calls, I still have never heard from him. This message is directly to John; your venue and your (good) staff - Jose and Alex, are amazing. You are what is holding back your venue. Stop being a cheap owner and staff yourself adequately, stop nickle and diming your guests, and take some accountability for your bad decisions. It was so bad that my wife and I were contemplating walking away from the Villa Toscana and losing the $10,000 we had already given to them for the wedding. A month or two before my wedding, we were informed that our coordinator was no longer with the venue and we were introduced to our new coordinator. She was very nice and we were just relieved to get rid of our previous coordinator. Things started well with her too, but she also became robotic and inflexible. Every time we asked questions regarding the music or the venue she would respond with a cut and paste from our contract stating these were the rules we signed and agreed to. 4 days before my wedding we are no longer receiving responses from our wedding coordinator... FOUR DAYS BEFORE OUR WEDDING. So i reach out to the venue, and they explain to us that she is no longer working with Villa Toscana. Would have been nice to know this instead of stressing for a week about our coordinator not responding. Thankfully we were in regular contact with Jose Barboza. The only consistent employee at Villa Toscana that actually tried to make us feel valued and cared for. He did his best to try and make our wedding feel special, and the best thing he did at this point was introduce us to our third and final coordinator Alex. And thank god for her she is an absolute angel. JOHN PAY HER MORE MY GUY. I promise more staff like Alex and Jose will make your guests feel special instead of like just another check in the bank. Alex took charge of our wedding with one day notice and absolutely rocked it. Did everything she can with a complete lack of resources and support. The wedding itself was beautiful. Again that venue is absolutely stunning and we loved and will always be in love with that venue, but they need to figure out their sound system. The band had trouble connecting to the equipment at Villa Toscana. They were not allowed to bring their own systems, and they had to connect to the venue, but they could not connect to the venues audio systems for 20 minutes. The venue also set up the band stage a good distance from the dance floor which was awful planning. Once they connected, the volume was extremely low. Like dinner at a restaurant low. It was so bad we asked the bad to stop playing. LUCKILY, even though the venue forbid us to bring our own sound system, our DJ brought his backup subwoofer and connected it and finally brought some life to the party. He was not supposed to bring that equipment, but no one was there to stop him because there was no Villa Toscana staff to be seen. Finally, after coordinating the Hora Loca and giving the venue all of our glow sticks and glasses and balloons to be given out at the time that the music starts and the lights are turned off. They were not ready for this moment. Alex was the ONLY PERSON on staff walking around handing out the glow sticks. She finished right in time for the last songs to come on. Again she was incredible. But she's only one person. The venue also owes me a deposit that was to be paid after 30 days if there was no damage to the property. Once I posted the reviews I was informed that I would not be receiving the deposit back if I did not take down the reviews. This is money that was contractually owed to me and I have the right to it without having to jump through anymore hoops. Still, I removed my post in good faith so they would return the money, and they only offered to return half of it. So be aware, it's not just a security deposit, it's a silence deposit. This is the kind of business you will be dealing with.

Pretty cool old place..one of the few - if not the only - true artist loft in Miami…read more I remember seeing this place from I95and thinking it was a haunted house. I got an evite for an opening event at Basel and found it wasn't. Although off the beaten path from the traditional gallery walk, it can make a walk all its own. There are two stories of artists there, a lot of whom you can talk to about their work, including my personal favorite - Daniel Fila, the creator of the "J-Lo Mural" off 36th & Biscayne. (If you've driven by you know what I'm talking about) Add to that the whole old-building ambiance and the chance to see old structure (huge bolted trusses and expose I-beams) and you're in heaven as a true art lover. Oh, and by the way, a couple of the artists have said that it is haunted ;).

This venue can hold a lot of people and can definitely host a great time! The layout itself is big and ideal for big parties. From the parking with a garage right next to it, to the venue itself, it was impressive how easy it was to go around here. The entrance has a lot of doors and hallways that lead to the main ballroom. The layout of this wedding had an entrance table, a spot for photos with the bride and groom, a back area for the kids and, of course, the grand ballroom. The space itself is huge and didn't feel too crowded even with the large groups of people. Overall, had a great time attending a wedding at this spot!

When my sisters and I found out back in '25 that our niece would be getting married here on June…read more27, '26, there was no question- we aunties were all in for a destination wedding. The excitement started wayyy before we packed our bags, but once I saw the venue my niece had chosen, I totally understood why. She and her husband live in Miami, so it seemed only right that they chose such a beautiful South Florida location. The moment we came to Vignette Gardens, we were speechless. The palm trees were all over the property, giving that lush greenery feel that instantly made the venue feel like an oasis. Every shaded corner seemed like a secret hideaway and picture-perfect backdrop. This is one of those places where nature did most of the talking. The wedding ceremony was beautifully arranged on the lawn, where rows of chairs faced a gorgeous floral arch under the palm trees. My niece's wedding was intimate and romantic that blended perfectly with the landscape. After the ceremony, guests made their way under the spacious reception tent. Honestly, that was the best place to be once that South Florida sun and humidity settled in. The tent offered tons of shade, a cool breeze from the fans and a comfortable space where everyone could relax while also celebrate and dance the night away without battling the sweltering heat. I honestly don't know every detail my niece selected for her wedding, but I do know one thing- her village showed up. Us four aunties, along with her mom (our oldest sister- yes, we're 5 sisters) were all hands on deck, each with our own assignment. Our oldest sister (her mom) took charge of putting together the centerpieces and other touches. My other two sisters were responsible for the seating display, inspired by a cool TikTok idea. They arranged an assortment of drinking glasses, each labeled with a guest's name and the corresponding table number. It wasn't just functional- it became part of the décor AND a keepsake. My twin sister worked on the ceremony arch, decorating it with lush florals and a flowing cream-colored fabric that gave the display a soft, organic, romantic feel. And I took charge of the welcome sign. I went to Lowe's and had a 20"x40" wooden board cut to size, then ordered a custom stencil with their names+ wedding date+etc from Etsy. Around the border, I placed faux greenery as a base before weaving in fresh flowers to give it that natural, organic touch. One thing that totally impressed me just as much as the venue itself was the awesome staff here. Every employee knew exactly what needed to be done and when to do it. But there was one woman- probably a manager(?) who truly stood out. She took charge with making sure every detail of my niece's and her husband's wedding came out smooth. She also made sure the entire team stayed on the same page. They worked like a well-oiled machine, as I always like to say. Everyone was in sync, and every transition happened like butter smooth. That's exactly what you hope for when choosing a wedding venue. After seeing it firsthand, I seriously believe Vignette Gardens could host just about any celebration- from anniversaries to birthdays, family reunions, baby showers or milestone events- just ask though. If you're looking for a venue that's both naturally beautiful and well-managed, Vignette G. is worth reaching out to inquire about what they offer.

Beautiful space for wedding. Drinks and food were delicious. Would highly recommend.read more
