Great experience, and great price! 15 Tables with 8 chairs fit perfectly, had enough space for the dance floor.

I was part of a bridal party for a wedding at this venue, and I must say--the space itself is…read moreabsolutely gorgeous. Both the ceremony and reception areas feel intimate yet truly breathtaking. I don't typically leave reviews to criticize businesses, but rather to bring awareness so others can make informed decisions. Unfortunately, our experience had a significant issue that needs to be shared. During the wedding rehearsal on Thursday, the venue was extremely hot. When I asked a staff member about the air conditioning, I was told that nothing was wrong with the system and that it simply hadn't been turned on prior to the rehearsal. We were reassured that everything would be cool and comfortable on the day of the wedding. However, on the actual wedding day, both the ceremony and reception were just as hot--if not worse. There was no effective air conditioning. It became so warm that the bride's cake actually started to melt. The staff attempted to help by setting up a couple of fans, but with over 150 guests in attendance, this was nowhere near sufficient. We brought the issue to the staff's attention again and were told it would be addressed, but unfortunately, nothing changed. Because of this, I feel it's important to share this experience with future couples considering this venue. While it is undeniably beautiful, please book with caution. Your guests may be extremely uncomfortable due to the heat. Given the cost of renting this space, working air conditioning should absolutely be a standard expectation.

Came here for my cousins wedding and our family had good and bad things to say about the venue…read more For starters, the venue is beautifully decorated. The ceremony took place in a room covered in chandeliers- I loved it! I will say that the place is small but for a wedding with less than 100 guest I thought it was perfect. Cocktail hour was amazing. They offered countless of drinks and appetizers. The room where the reception was taken place was also decorated nicely. Now onto the bad, the bathrooms need improvement and should've been cleaned before the event took place; it was truly disgusting. The food that was offered was cold and bland but that's wedding food for you. I'm sure the DJ and photographer came with the ballroom but we just were not impressed with the Dj song selection.

The FTL War Memorial has a story that makes you appreciate it even before you step inside. Built in…read more1950 to honor veterans--including Fort Lauderdale native Alexander "Sandy" Nininger (October 20, 1918 - January 12, 1942), a West Point graduate from the Class of 1941. Nininger was a Second Lieutenant in the US Army assigned to lead a unit of the Philippine Scouts. He was killed in action in the Battle of Bataan and he became the first Medal of Honor recipient of World War II. The venue has long been a meaningful part of this community. Located next to the Florida Panthers' practice facility in Holiday Park, the auditorium has hosted an impressive range of events over the decades. In its early years, it welcomed U.S. presidents like Richard Nixon, renowned ballet companies, and legendary performers such as Buddy Holly and Otis Redding. In more recent years, it transitioned to gun shows, wrestling matches, flea markets, and smaller concerts, and eventually fell into disrepair. That all changed with a major restoration led by the Florida Panthers organization, which privately funded a $65 million renovation along with the development of the Baptist Health IcePlex. The goal was to revitalize the west side of Holiday Park and create a more family-friendly destination--and they delivered. The renovation beautifully preserves the building's classic Art Deco façade while introducing modern upgrades throughout. Inside, the marble lobby floor features the original in-ground commemorative plaque, restored and inscribed with the words: "a living memorial to those whose valor perpetuates our liberty." A bronze statue of a soldier--donated in the 1970s by American Gold Star Mothers in memory of those lost in the Vietnam War--is now prominently displayed in a dedicated niche above the entrance to the event space. Today, the 44,000-square-foot venue has been transformed into a modern music and event space through a partnership with the City of Fort Lauderdale. It's now part of a growing multi-use district and regularly hosts concerts, shows, and community events. I recently attended an Indie Craft Bazaar here and had a great experience. There's plenty of free parking in the fields across from the complex, which is a huge plus. Inside, you'll find multiple bars and concession areas. The space itself is open, stylish, and highly adaptable. It's not a traditional theater with fixed seating--instead, it has a flexible layout that can accommodate around 3,400 people. It works just as well for concerts, comedy shows, and DJs as it does for weddings and graduations. Despite all the modern upgrades, the venue still honors its roots. The restored plaques, statues, and memorial elements serve as reminders of its original purpose, giving the space a sense of history and meaning that sets it apart from newer venues. Overall, it's a thoughtful blend of past and present--and a great addition to Fort Lauderdale's event scene.
