    BEST DAY EVER! Vista Lago Ballroom was the perfect venue for my wedding! If you're looking for an all-inclusive venue in Miami specifically West Kendall this is the place for you! The venue is stunning inside and out, the food was incredible, and the staff are so professional and some of the nicest people in the wedding industry! Great affordable prices for what was included! My husband and I had the best time ever and our guests said it was a wedding of a lifetime! Thank you to Raquel, Jose, and Shantel all your support through the planning/executing process!!!

    Our twin daughters sweet 16 was amazing. I can not give this business ten stars so five will have to do. To begin with, the professionalism shown as well as the attention to detail surpasses any expectation I may have had of good service. The food was ten stars. The cakes by Edda were ten stars. The flowers by Gladys Flowers were gorgeous and also deserve ten star. The staff was ten stars. This service was exemplary and I will definitely be calling them again. It has been my honor to work with the entire team. Raquel knew what we wanted before we even knew and she executed the plan with a sophisticated touch like no other. We could not be more pleased.

    Attended a wedding here on 11/22/19 . From a guest point of view: Good : *Venue was beautiful and it did not feel like I was in a ballroom setting. The interior is white with wooden floors and it serves as a perfect canvas for any event style. * I truly loved the set up for the reception by the lake. Bad: * This location was hard to find with all the construction happening in the area. * A few party-crasher from the ducks and of housefly during the reception. * For food, the bride chose the chicken and steak dinner - it was very to salty for me. The bread was extremely hard : /.

    I could not begin to say how many wonderful thingsmeet experienced during our family event at this facility. The location is beautiful, well maintained and it is impeccable. There I definitely a great deal of pride from the owners, not to the mention the personal attention and the service from the staff is remarkable. The catering options are very affordable and very tasty. The owner Racquel is extremely resourceful and is magnificent and a wizard with small children. Everything about this location is convenient, beautiful, and affordable. The design and layout lend itself for a very family oriented event to be highly successful and intimate yet class. It's a beautiful hall and we were so fortunate to find it. And prices aRe very affordable.

    Came here for a wedding.. very nice venue space perfect for weddings. Features indoor open space as well as a large patio that is on a lake with a nice view. The landscaping and space also seems to be well maintained.

    I am giving this place 1 star because it held the most magical day of my life. The location itself is beautiful, the building is clean, well maintained and the inside of the ballroom is gorgeous. The food is delicious and everyone loved it, the wait staff was only serving certain tables during cocktail hour. Our head tables didnt try the cocktail hour apps. Our wedding was rained out, so we had to improvise and have our ceremony inside. Thank god for our wedding planner because all the staff from this venue did was RUSH her... they didnt allow us to set up until 3PM and they didnt give us any staff to help set up because "you have your own wedding planner she can do it"... the day before the wedding I was being stressed about something I wanted last minute and instead of helping me they made it more stressful. To put the icing on the cake the owners never told us the lake was UNDER CONSTRUCTION. A big yellow bulldozer in the middle and a mountain of rocks would be the backdrop of our ceremony pictures, when everyone noticed including the photographers they told them "use photoshop" what kind of attitude is that? This venue only cares about MONEY... once you pay them they are done. Do not recommend im glad its over and we enjoyed our wedding day....

    We hosted our company Holiday Party at Vista Lago Ballroom and we had the most wonderful experience! Every member of the staff was helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make our night special and we cannot wait to celebrate there again!

    From the moment we met Raquel and Jose we knew we were in the right place! 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 friend's wedding, we knew the quality was top notch. That helped us make the decision to book with them for our big day. Honestly, it's 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 didn't 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! Can't recommend it enough!

    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 d'oeuvres 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 that's 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.

    Nice chandelier.

    This is our second time coming here for a Christmas holiday party for my wife's work. It's a beautiful view of the lake in the back. With a nice water fountain. Inside is nice. The food could be a little better but makes for a nice place to have a business party.

    Best Day and Wedding EvEr!!! Not saying that because it was our wedding, hehe. But Vista Lago and their entire crew were amazing. Everything came out exactly how I wanted it. So beautiful and fun. I can't wait for our 10 year anniversary to do it all over again!

    See all

    Estimados señores de Grand Salón,…read more Me dirijo a ustedes con respeto para expresar mi experiencia con relación a la celebración de los 15 años de mi hija, evento para el cual confiamos en sus servicios. En primer lugar, quiero agradecer sinceramente a la señora Lía por asumir la coordinación final del evento. Su trato fue amable, dispuesto y profesional, especialmente al tomar un proceso que ya venía con varias dificultades previas. Valoré mucho su atención y esfuerzo para continuar adelante con la organización. Sin embargo, también considero importante comunicarles ciertos aspectos negativos que afectaron nuestra experiencia como clientes. Inicialmente, la primera event planner asignada Sra.Tania no mostró la paciencia ni el seguimiento esperado, dejando el proceso inconcluso y transfiriéndonos posteriormente con la señora Lía. Adicionalmente, deseo expresar mi descontento con el desempeño del maestro de ceremonias y del DJ asignados para el evento. En momentos importantes de la celebración faltó coordinación, organización y profesionalismo, afectando detalles significativos que para nuestra familia eran muy importantes. Lamentablemente, aunque hubo aspectos positivos, la experiencia general no cumplió con las expectativas que teníamos al contratar y pagar por sus servicios. Les comparto esta espectativa con respeto y con la esperanza de que puedan tomarla en cuenta para mejorar su atención y calidad de sus futuros eventos. Lamentablemente, durante todo el proceso percibimos mayor enfoque en los cobros y pagos que en brindar una atención cálida, profesional y verdaderamente orientada al cliente. Un servicio de calidad no solo se mide por lo que se cobra, sino por la experiencia y el compromiso que se ofrece.

A truly "exquisite production" is exactly what they were able to accomplish for us last week... What exactly stood out?? ... The Service - was impeccable. Raquel made sure that we had plenty of food to munch on and water in between all of the drinks our friends and family kept giving us! Not to mention the fact that she personally went up to our grandparents to ask them what they would like for dinner from the Buffet so they wouldn't have to stand up from their seats! Top notch service in our opinion! While we are on the topic of Buffet - the Food was delicious! How often do you say that at a wedding?!? There was definitely a WOW factor in the quality and quantity of food available for our 130 guests! Due to our layout at the venue, we were limited to Buffet style, but it worked out beautifully! The Dj announced table by table, and there were servers behind the buffet to keep the line moving. The Music was on point the entire evening! The DJ played every song we requested and more with smooth transitions including music variations for ALL generations at the reception! He even squeezed in a last minute request for Tango for all of our Argentine guests - what a special moment! The Bar was fully stocked! There was no stingy booze service at our wedding! Carlos (I think that was his name) was an awesome bartender, cranking out the cocktails like a champ, even with the high demand from guests! The Cake - Eddas 4 tier cake was stunning, delicious and also INCLUDED in our all-in-one package by EP. Absolutely amazing!

    Killian Palms Country Club - DJ Fila working a wedding in his jeans, white shirt and backwards baseball cap

    Left a Google review for the venue…read more.. I recently attended a wedding here as a guest. I could nit pick (bartender couldn't make a drink for her life) but overall the food and service was good. However, they are getting a one star review. Why? Because after speaking with the groom I learned that this venue forced them to use their "preferred DJ vendor" and this guy SUCKED. I did not want to ruin my friend's wedding by badmouthing their DJ so when I asked what the DJ's name was, he said he did not know but that it was the venue's DJ and that they had to use him So I asked the bride and she said it was DJ FILA (not sure if that is spelled right). So let's talk about DJ Fila... 1 Half the time he wasn't even in his booth. I work in the industry and being a DJ is a performance service. You MUST be using your experience to feel the vibe of the crowd and select songs that build on that vibe. This guy literally ran some kind of crappy slow-song playlist during cocktails and dinner (TWO HOURS) and walked away for the majority of the time. His playlist included playing Lady Gaga's "Shallow" FOUR TIMES in a two hour period! He played Sade's "Smooth Operator" twice! Two of his four hours was this terrible, slow, sad auto-playlist...AT A WEDDING! 2. DJ Fila made no effort to build up the dance floor. I put song selection above mixing skill but you still gotta transition songs. He did not even try to transition songs. We went from one abrupt change to the next. 3. His idea of getting the dancefloor going was to throw on Cha Cha Slide then Cupid Shuffle back to back. He had no clue how to manage a dance floor. 4. The DJ and his emcee were totally unprepared to the extent that they introduced the bridal party one at a time by name but the groomsmen? They totally blanked out, messed it all up and just invited all the groomsmen to join the bridal party on the dance floor- no names or formal introductions like the others. You could see they were completely confused. 5. So many miscues, accidental stoppages of music, moments of dead silence, bad edits and bad mixes. 6. His attire was completely unprofessional for a wedding. Jeans, a white shirt and a backwards baseball cap is not appropriate DJ attire for a wedding. I truly don't know how my friend who got married felt about this DJ. I wasn't going to discuss it and bum him out at his wedding. I just wanted him to have a great time and I am sure he did DESPITE what I heard and saw (thank God it was open bar!). But I work in the industry and let me tell you, what I heard and saw was incredibly unprofessional. I would never normally take the time to review another DJ. We all have different styles and skill levels. But there must be some level of skill if you are going to do weddings. This DJ had none. Shame on this venue for foisting this poser on my unsuspecting friends but let it be a warning to all who are considering holding their wedding or other special life event at this venue. DO NOT LET THEM FORCE YOU TO USE THEIR DJ. If this is how they do business then you're better off finding another venue because your DJ will make your event memorable...one way or the other. In this case, it was not in the good way.

Even the inside looks outdated, looks more like a funeral home than a banquet hall. The outside where the wedding was held is actually nice. It had rained, and the employees did not even bother removing the excess water from the wood where all the wedding court was going to walk on. Someone could have slipped, the brides dress was drenched by the time she finished walking the aisle. Once seated inside, we all noticed the cups and champagne glasses had old lipstick stains. When we told the coordinator, she pretended not to even see it, when it was extremely visible. She sent the cups to be replaced, but never once apologized. The dj was not at all good ,the music barely inspired anyone to want to get up and dance. At the end of the reception, instead of politely informing us the event is reaching its end, they just turned on all the lights and abruptly shut off the music, and the dj said "times up" The food was not at all good. Overcooked vegetables, and the meat did NOT look edible. I honestly felt nothing was handled accordingly.

She explains all the steps in detail, does a lot of repeats and watches to see how you progress. She was the perfect beginner instructor for us and we enjoyed her very much. After a few lessons with Olga, we began to learn coupled combinations that Bobby always watched for technique to move us into the group dancing. The group classes are run very well. Lots of mirrors and loud call-outs so you can keep up in the warm-up. Then they have several instructors including Bobby that teach and monitor all the dancers for the entire class. If you are interested in learning some basic salsa dancing or you want to get advanced lessons in New York style salsa, I would highly recommend A PARTY HALL. They are excellent in the beginner classes as well as challenging you to perform in the couple group dancing. I did notice the regular pricing and would still choose them without a groupon discount.
