On further research it turns out this place is relatively new, see what I found out on the good old net - Originally constructed in 2003, the Cruz Building in Coconut Grove recently underwent some restoration work to its interior. The facade resembles a French row house, with natural keystone and travertine columns, iron balconies, authentic gas-flame lanterns, and Gothic stone sculptures. A good portion of the building's contents are architectural European and French New Orleans antiques. In my defense they do feature antiques inside, (pheww, I have a reputation to defend here!!!) What can I say? I love history, and they DID should an awesome job, it authentically looks old. I am still a fan and my review is still a 5 star.

YES! YES! YES! An amazing experience for any person regardless of age, and so family friendly!…read more The Social Hub is unlike anything in Miami! Is located in Brickell City Center, next to Luna Park and close to Zara. Plenty of parking is available since BCC has many garages. After so much fun here, you may also enjoy the rest of the shopping center's options of foods and retail stores. The Social Hub has approximately 13-15 differently decorated spaces with their own ring light (you may adjust the lighting) with phone stand. Additionally to this, there are 3 changing rooms, in case you'd like to change your outfit in between photos. The pictures look stunning!! The staff is friendly and always available to assist with you photographic needs, they know your angles! I took pictures in every setting and this took me over 2 hours, I think I couldve spent even more time in there. I insist that you, your friends and family visit The Social Hub for loads of fun and awesome pictures.

The staffers were stellar, funny and incredibly helpful. Even after reading "selfie museum" someone still had to explain the concept to me. There are roughly two dozen stage sets arranged with props and backgrounds designed to take the perfect themed selfie. There's everything from a throne room to a bubble bathtub that channels Joan Crawford in The Women. Each backdrop area has a professional light ring and camera mount for your cell. Now I've sometimes thought of obsessive selfie-taking as one step short of "Paris Hilton wannabe" behavior, but I admit to trying out every set in the place : ) This was some of the most fun you can have with your clothes still on. The staffers were not only funny and enthusiastic but very helpful. They didn't even giggle when they had to point out how to turn on the lights and adjust the height of the camera mount to avoid having to crouch down. The venue itself is in my favorite shopping mall, Brickell City Centre. BCC is fun for the 21st Century Jetsons-esque layout complete with 3 blocks of giant futuristic buildings, catwalks over the street, and some of the most cutting edge retail around (complete with Lucid electric car store). It's a good use of a third floor space at the end of a hall that doesn't get a lot of foot traffic. Speaking of traffic, take an Uber, Metromover, bike or walk if you can...this part of the Brickell area can be a traffic nightmare and the BCC parking deck ain't gonna be cheap, papi.

I went here for The Moth Grandslam and although I throughly enjoyed myself, I would have to really…read moreconsider returning to this venue. Upon arriving to the venue, a big random man in a store bought neon vest stood outside blocking the entrance to the public parking. He would not let people pass him unless you paid him money first. Then we still had to pay the meter for said public parking. Others once inside had the same complaint and it's a darn shame. Many of the people for The Moth had never been to this theater and would likely not return. I hate being hustled and this left a sour taste in my mouth. The money I would have spent inside supporting the bar, I was nickled and dimed outside. I really would not want to return to this location.

I got married at the Curtiss Mansion on 11/4/23 and all throughout the night I couldn't stop…read moreturning to my friends and family to say, "Everyone should get married here!" To begin, the team there is phenomenal. Javi, Ale, Alex, Kayla, Sherry, and the rest of the staff made sure that my husband and I had the most magical night of our lives. They treated me like I was family from the beginning of the planning process to the end, going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we could relax and enjoy the evening. I felt like I was working with a highly trained Secret Service of sorts: -They used walkie talkies and ear pieces to communicate with each other throughout the night. -They anticipated our needs before we had them (making sure we ate first, bringing us drinks, holding my dress, escorting me, etc.). -They changed light bulbs, mopped up spills as they happened, ran to get cups when my caterer ran out, etc. This team made sure the event ran smoothly and resolved problems that weren't even their fault quickly! At the end of the night, Javi personally delivered some leftovers from the venue to our APARTMENT which was not expected but much appreciated. The venue itself is also gorgeous. It stands out from its peers through its Mission Revival architecture, and it boasts many different rooms, cool furniture, and breathtaking ceremony sites throughout the property. There isn't a lot you have to do in terms of decor/rentals/florals because it's just that beautiful. But you have to see it for yourself to appreciate the beauty. The photos I'm attaching (some professional, some from phone cameras) don't even begin to do it justice. Finally, this is one of the only outdoor venues (if not THE only venue) in Miami that allows you to keep the party going until 1am. My husband and I really wanted to have a long wedding and dance the night away, and this venue had no issue with that. They allow you to pay for extra hours and move you into a spacious indoor room at 11pm to get around the noise ordinance. It was exactly what we wanted. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married. I have only positive things to say about the Curtiss Mansion and its amazing staff who make people happy for a living.

We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

I didn't like the old fashioned as it was too sweet. Everything was self service which could have been due to the event. The next day I didn't feel so well and the wings were the last thing I ate. Could have been that white sauce/topping. All in all, it's a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the Miami skyline

She went out of her way to give me a bowl of water for my dog. I will be back!

The studio is spacious and well decorated for the spectacular activity. The once ice manufacturing plant was turned into a huge event space or venue that can accomodate 8,000 guests. They can host private events, concerts, trade shows, art shows and a lot more. The Sports Illustrated on Location Swimsuit Event was attended by Supermodels like Paulina Porizkova, Tyra Banks, Barbara Palvin, Anna de Paula, Hailey Clauson, Kate Bock, Lais Ribeiro, Samantha Hoopes, and a lot more like MMA fighter Paige Vanzant It was a fun event hosted by the Ice Palace Films Studios. I hope to attend more events in the future in this beautiful venue. If you're looking for an event space for your company's intimate gatherings, exhibits, celebrations or large scale events like concert, Ice Palace Films Studios is a great place. Check it out

I don't typically update my reviews, and certainly not for venues (when I actually bother), so this…read moreperchance may be a first. Last year I went to see "Beyond Van Gogh," and this past Friday, my friends and I went to see "Beyond Monet." It happened to be opening night and they conducted themselves splendidly. We went to the 7:30 PM showing in the middle of a downpour. We were afraid we'd make it late, but we arrived just on time. We ended up doing valet this time around as it was more convenient. Valet was $20, and heads' up, the entrance is the first one, not the second. We had an oops, but even then, the man who was the valet was nothing but kind to us with our mistake. For "Beyond Monet," the show was on the opposite side as it was for "Beyond Van Gogh." It seems that aside from "Beyond Monet," they're also playing a second show called "The Art of Banksy." Pretty cool that they have two shows running at once. Anyway, they're STILL following proper protocol for COVID-19, and they've made the ticketing process even easier than before. Last time it was two individual tickets for my Apple wallet, and this time it was three individual tickets on one QR code for my Apple wallet. Given that this is downtown, well, this almost merits a five-star review from me. Keyword here being almost. If they somehow lowered the valet parking rate, well, that would just about do it.

You walk in to see a cute little garden/backyard feel, listening to some awesome music. As we walked in we were greeted with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. What an awesome layout of furnishing art. From the swings, to the chandeliers, which were all gorgeous, I was in aw at how beautiful it all was. The telephone booth was my favorite. The food was great too. We were served ceviche, croquettes, tacos and these awesome battered shrimp. This venue would be great for any private event. I hope to come back for another one soon.

From what I understand you can rent this location for events, to sleep in, and it is used as a venue for Art Galleries as well. The layout is spaced out and the decor is refreshing. It is definitely different and a great place to hold events. The outside garden/backyard area is great to have an outside bar and goes well with the inside vibe. I am not sure about the process on how to rent this location, being I was just a guest. However, it looks family oriented and easy to work with. I am excited to visit Wynwood Lab again the next time I am in Wynwood or thinking about having an event.
