From…read morebeginning to end, Violet, the event manager was accessible, attentive and offered personal suggestions based on our vision and personalities. We got married in March 2022 with 150 people with a "Tropical Elegance and Garden Formal theme" . We had the ceremony on the golf course, dance floor outside + upstairs under the twinkle lights, buffet dinner inside the restaurant, and an awesome lounge area on the bottom platform. The day of staff were notably experienced and passionate about making sure my husband and I were comfortable all night. From the moment we entered our party, they were waiting to take our drink order and during dinner had our plates ready at our sweetheart table cut up into bite size pieces. I could go on, and on about all the amazing touches Parties By Pat added, but the biggest for me were trust and peace of mind knowing their team was going to deliver. I havent even begun talking about the food quality or taste yet. If you're a foodie and want your guests to remember a delicious wedding, then definitely look no further. I am still dreaming about the food options we had, and they even made a special menu for the amount of vegan/gluten-free requirements we had for a number of our guests. All of our bridal party pix on the golf course during sunset ceremony came out stunning and our portrait photos along the bay and Miami skyline were perfection. Being able to use one of the golf carts to ride off into the sunset for our pix was fun and helped enhance our experience as well. Because we were the only ones at the venue and were isolated on Key Biscayne we didn't have to worry about noise levels, parking availability or competing with other parties for attention. It is easy to understand why Parties By Pat have been so successful for 20+ years! Lastly, I want to thank Violet again for her suggestion to have "to-go" Krispy Kremes at the end of the night before we got back on our shuttle busses for the hotel. It was a hit. Our vision was exceeded, I'm still floating in gratitude and amazement at how well everything turned out, and our friends and family are still talking about the venue, food, bar menu and dessert station.

I would keep the rating at 1 star for service while acknowledging the quality of the food…read more We hired Chef Brod for our 10-year vow renewal celebration and were asked to provide an honest review. While the food itself was flavorful and well-seasoned, our overall experience was disappointing due to the service and professionalism throughout the planning process. The tasting itself was not difficult to attend--we flew into Miami for it, and the food was delicious. However, it took considerable effort to get the contract finalized, and the communication throughout the process felt unprofessional. We paid $200 for the tasting and were clearly told that if we chose Chef Brod and booked his services, that amount would be deducted from the final invoice. Despite this agreement, we were repeatedly challenged about the deduction and, even as late as the week before our event, were being asked to pay an additional $200 rather than receiving the promised credit. This ongoing dispute over an agreed-upon term created unnecessary stress and left us feeling that commitments were not being honored. To Chef's credit, the food was tasty. The appetizers, especially the shrimp appetizer, were delicious, and the seasoning and spices throughout the menu were excellent. However, several issues occurred on the day of the event. We specifically contracted for baked chicken, but grilled chicken was served instead. As a result, the chicken was much drier than what we experienced during the tasting. We also paid for oxtails, which were one of the menu items our guests were most excited about. Unfortunately, only a very small portion was available, and once the initial serving was gone, it was never replenished. Many guests wanted more, but there was no refill despite the significant amount we paid for catering. Additionally, Chef Brod promised to serve fried catfish and fried chicken for the Groom; however, these items were never provided as agreed. Furthermore, the vegetables were of poor quality and appeared to have been sitting in water for an extended period. They had an unpleasant taste that resembled faucet water, making them unappetizing and difficult to enjoy. The planning process was the most frustrating part of our experience. Chef was the only vendor involved in our vow renewal who consistently argued with us before and after the contract was signed. Even after receiving full payment, additional money was requested for cake cutting, despite that service already being discussed, agreed upon, and included in the contract. When it came time to provide the final guest count, the process became another negotiation. Although the guest count decreased, which is common for events, the per-person cost increased. While we agreed to the revised amount and paid in full, the back-and-forth communication afterwards added unnecessary stress during an already demanding planning process. On the day of the event, the cake service was also disappointing. The cake was not properly cut, and guests were left searching for utensils and tools to serve themselves. Overall, Chef can absolutely cook. The flavors, seasoning, and culinary talent are there. However, customer service, communication, professionalism, and execution are just as important as the food itself. For a catering investment of nearly $8,000, we expected a smoother experience, better communication, and more attention to guest service. If you are considering hiring Chef Brod, I would recommend doing so only if food quality is your primary concern. If professionalism, responsiveness, and a stress-free planning experience are equally important to you, I would encourage you to continue researching other catering options. This review is provided honestly and fairly based on our experience. The photo is the only oxtails that was provided for an 6 hour, 80 ppl event. Disappointing!

Thanks to Nora's efforts, my wife and I had the wedding of our dreams. Nora is very creative, and has a ton of experience, which made it extremely easy to work with her. She is not afraid to tell you if she knows something will not work, but she will find a way to make your wedding dream come true. She was so positive and calm during the planning process, and at the wedding, making everything feel so easy and comfortable. All we had to do was relax and have the time of our lives! And the food, decoration and flowers were incredibly amazing! Even better than we'd imagined. The wedding was nearly three months ago, and our friends and family are still raving about how wonderful it was. Thanks, Nora, for giving us a day's worth of wonderful memories that we'll remember the rest of our lives. We can't ever thank you enough.

Nora coordinated my daughter's wedding earlier this month (November 2017). I had seen other…read moreweddings (in pictures and in person) that she coordinated in the past but nothing prepared me for the amazing job she did for my daughter's wedding. The wedding was held in the recreation hall of a local park. She somehow took a rec hall and turned it into a storybook ballroom. It took my breath away. It was an incredible transformation. I didn't recognize it when I walked in the day of the wedding. It did not look like the same place. Nora has a great deal of artistic talent. She explained to me how details are important in a wedding. It is not just one thing that is important in and of itself; it's how everything fits together that creates the "magic". Things like choosing the right colors, textures and lighting and coordinating them to create the look you want to achieve. The florist that she works with, Gerardo also did a sensational job. I love flowers and think really you can't have too many of them at a wedding. Both of them did much more than I ever thought possible in putting this aspect of the wedding together. They were also very creative in using the flowers in multiple ways such as putting bouquets and columns used during the ceremony at the bridal table afterwards. Nora has a great many contacts she is able to draw on for vendors for all of the different services we needed for the wedding. Somehow she is able to interact and oversee all of these vendors to bring things together. I admit I would not have been so patient in dealing with all of this. She didn't give up on getting what we needed. Unlike other coordinators Nora posts the fees for her services on her website. You can choose the level of service that you want. If you want her to do it all, she can. If you just want help the day of the event, that may be possible too. With some vendors she can assist you with discounts which can help pay for her services. Of course weddings are not inexpensive events. The more you want, in my case flowers, the more it will cost you! If you are only looking for a coordinator who will charge the lowest possible price, there are other planners you can contact. But if you are looking for high quality service from a professional you can trust, you will not be disappointed with Nora. You do not have to have an unlimited budget, we surely didn't. She will listen to your requests, make suggestions, give advice and even tell you when something just honestly is not the best or will not work with your budget or with what you want to create for your wedding. In all weddings there are unexpected events, with us some of the things were not having a podium for the pastor at the last minute and rehearsal problems. She dealt with these and other things with grace and patience. I highly recommend her. She is a rare professional someone who keeps her word and puts the needs of her clients upper most. She understands that this is not just party it is one of the most important events in someone's life and treats it as if it were her own.
