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.

Built in 1939, the restored mezzanine level began serving as an elegant special event space in 2001. A former bank headquarters, the 22,000-square-foot space with two distinct ballrooms boasts wall-to-wall marble flooring, hand-painted cypress wood ceilings, original brass scrollwork on gates, and original teller windows and bank vaults. I don't love the walk from the parking garage to the venue (you go through a lobby) and then you can go upstairs by escalator, walking or one of the 5 elevators to your venue (one is a service elevator). It is a huge space but I think the main issue is the drive to the venue and the surrounding area to the Bldg. not the best. So you need to decide if that's ok with you...

Came here for a buddy's wedding…read more Turns out to be an awesome location for any event. The owner of this establishment did the landscaping for my friends house and he liked his work so much that he decided to have his wedding at this "showroom" site From the outside it looks plain and its really in the middle of nowhere. However, once inside the landscaping genius takes over. As seen from my posted pictures there's a Koi pond that surrounds a central tiki hut island which makes for the perfect center piece for a wedding ceremony. There are also various trees and waterfalls that surround this area. If you follow the palm trees and foliage to the back of the property there are clearings for events/receptions etc. Cons to this place are its location (Redlands) and that there are dirt pathways that should be paved. Walking through these dirt pathways can get your nice shoes dirty and if it rains they can become significantly muddy. Finally, there are no restrooms for big groups of people. For the wedding portable restrooms were driven into the property. All in all I would definitely recommend this site for an exclusive event or wedding. Additionally, the owner is very friendly and does great work. I would recommend "Jungle B" for landscaping your house or commercial property.

This is the former Bacardi building and is now listed as a National Historical place. It is now the young arts building, and they are supposedly not going to mess with the historical element of it. I came today to look at its offerings and being a history buff I always want to see stuff like this. There are two buildings - one is the blue and white tiled one which is actually called the blue and white building (apt! ) and the other one behind it that is called the jewel box (for obvious reasons). Worthy of a look!

I was pretty picky on the menu because I didn't want to have the same typical Spanish food so i asked if we could do lasagna even though it wasn't on the menu and she accommodated it for me. She did not even charge me extra! At the time I paid $1500 for a Sunday for 100 guests and it included everything; the decor, DJ, meal (salad, entree,cake), cake, wait staff, and full open bar (wine,liquor,beer) for the duration of the event. They even had a projector where you could put a slide show of photos, videos, or whatever you want. We just had to put $200 dollars down and the rest could be paid up until 2 weeks before the event. Our baby shower was great! Everything went smoothly and the owner was there from beginning to end. The waiters were wonderful and very attentive. The DJ played exactly what we asked and the food was delicious. We had an amazing time with out family and friends! The only reason i did not give 5 stars was because parking was a bit of a hassle for the guests and from the outside the building looks a little run down and old. The color they chose to paint the building is unattractive. I called about a month ago for a friend and they are still around the same price point! Its fantastic! Definitely recommend!!

Go somewhere else Pros: the place is cute and clean…read moreCons: Many. My Aunt had a party there several years ago and she loved the owner who is no longer there. Now it is under new ownership it seems. I had a party for my mothers birthday and unfortunately, I had to deal with this unorganized and unprofessional team. 1. They refuse to answer their phone, all communication is via text and therefore I was penalized for the lack of clarity because I was not able to communicate with these people effectively. Throughout the time that I had my contract with them, I attempted to make several phone calls, only to receive my response via text, the person said it is because they get a lot of "robocalls" or "scam calls" Not my problem, get a damn business phone. 2. I have been making monthly payments towards the total amount and paid off the balance well before the day of the party. Unfortunately, a few weeks before the party I was reminded to pay off the balance. Ok, no big deal to clarify that it has already been paid off, but this started a pattern of their behavior of being unorganized, unclear and the client, myself having to pay heavily for it. 3. The party was to seat 80 people. Prior to the party, I asked about the table options, round vs long, how many people per table, etc. It was determined that I would need 8-10 long tables. I was also sent 2 pictures of the entrance and asked my preference for set up (all via text). I liked the entrance to be free so people can move about and dance, assuming the tables would be on the other side. The day of the party there were absolutely NO TABLES. When my aunt arrived to set up they told me it would be another $150 to move the furniture around again. This was so confusing to me, not only was I unable to reach these people by phone, they never had my tables set up after we agreed on the long tables then charged me to move the furniture around and set up the tables. 4. The airconditioning does NOT work. 5. This was the very first time I have ever done anything like this so I asked for advice and assistance. One service that was needed was photography/videography. The man that works there said that he can provide this for me for roughly, I believe it was somewhere between 100-300$. Says he has done this before. Now photography does not mean just snapping pictures. When I finally received the pictures that this "photogropher" shot throughout the night, they were of such poor quality that I had to ask my friends and family for their pictures from their cell phones. The pictures were extremely dark. How the hell did he figure these were well done? Although there were numerous pictures, they were so dark and the quality was horrible. I canNOT believe this man told me this is something he could do and provided such crapy pictures. Do not offer services for which you are unable to perform even mildly well. There are dark shadows at the bottom of almost all of the pictures (Probably his hand). 6. Clean up is included in the price. But we had a lot of alcohol left. Instead of just taking the things that we brought, my cousins and other family decided to help tidy a little. Some people have been drinking but by any means were they disorderly. While my friends and family helped to pour some water from the vase and cups down the drain, some of the water spilled on the floor and we did not realize this. It wasn't until I overheard the lady making slick remarks under her breath like this isn't helping us at all, and making fun of my family with her partner that I realized someone accidentally spilled water on the floor near the sink. The did not directly say anything, the behavior continued and the mocked my family for trying to help. The spill was not much because it was easily....EASILY addressed with a mop. 7. Gross behavior, unprofessional, poor communication, misleading, I will never have an event there, attend an event there, or recommend this place to anyone unless it is run by another group of people.
