This was five years before Miami was even a city. It is the oldest civic group in Miami. Aware of the feeling of isolation that pioneer women could feel in the area Flora wanted a place where women could find fellowship and camaraderie. The club was created with the goal of "community uplift," which was achieved through fundraisers that paid for needs in the community. The club motto was "lend a hand". The promoted literacy and education. Their first project was to raise the money in 1894 for a Sunday school which later became the historic Plymouth Congregational Church. The fame of the Housekeeper's Club spread quickly. Within one year of its inception, Harper's Magazine, a major national publication, profiled the club. The Woman's club became the social hub of the city holding concerts, parties, and performances. Through the years they supported important causes like preserving the Everglades, a library, a girls ranch, cancer survivors, teaching children to swim, and canine companions. Over 100 years later the Woman's Club is still going strong and supporting civic activities in the community. Today you can rent the historic Woman's Club for weddings and private events. The building was designed by Floridas first registered architect Walter de Gamo and it was completed in 1921. The building is made of stucco, oolithic limestone, concrete, and stone. It is a rectangular shape with a gable roof and wrap around porch. In 1975 it was added to the United States national Register of Historic Places. The club has been renovated and special occasions can be booked through CG entertainment. I had the pleasure of attending a wedding here once and it was a lovely and historic venue to hold such a special event. An added bonus is that you can cross the street to get pictures along the water as well. La

Fabulous Venue…read more Coconut Grove Events coordinated and managed my daughter's wedding reception at the Historic Woman's Club of Coconut Grove. The guests raved about the delish food, and the decor package we selected looked perfect. We had a small gathering around 80 people. To start the festivities off drinks were served on the portico while the wedding party completed the photos. After dinner the DJ took the stage and the dancing started. This intimate venue was dream come true. Rudy and Leslie Rowe made sure we were completely relaxed and handled all the details during the reception allowing us the luxury of being a guest instead of a stressed out host and hostess. We Highly recommend Coconut Grove Events and especially the venue at the Woman's Club of Coconut Grove.

Last minute due to rain a tent had to be added for my wedding, I spoke with Laura who said not to worry and that cafe lights would be added to the top of tent to make it look prettier! I was so excited and happy that even with a tent and rain it would look beautiful. So imagine wedding day being in rain and at least building happiness and excitement going to see your reception space for the first time and there are no cafe lights and the lighting is still dark & the team that is still there setting up says they had no word to do cafe lights and refuse to put them up and didn't fix lighting. I was devastated. Initially I was not going to do a review bc Laura was going to do a credit and said that additional uplights were placed around venue. But then I saw in my guests' pictures that the beautiful mound for my CEREMONY had NO uplights and looked dark and dingy in my wedding pictures- I was SO upset yet again! I contacted Laura and got an excuse that the uplights were damaged due to rain! It's an outdoor space and those lights are for the outdoors!!!?? You should have back ups for damages. And if other uplights were supposedly added then those should have been used to replace the ones at ceremony space! Plus how could rain damage those uplights but not the uplights down by the barge that really got rained on!? Lies. Ruined my wedding pictures. And all that was done was a $500 credit after we spent thousands! Horrible!!!!! This was a big part of aesthetics of our big day and it was horrible!!! Go with Illumene.

Parking was a little rough, which was the only drawback. I saw in other Yelp reviews that they had a small parking lot, but I couldn't find it and nobody picked up the phone when I called to ask. Luckily, there is a garage maybe a 5-minute walk away which had surprisingly cheap parking for the area. There were staff there to direct us when we first walked in, and they were super helpful. Everything was so clean, the decor was beautiful, and they had every type of space you need for a wedding (entrance, bar, outdoor ceremony area, indoor reception, and maybe more that I didn't see). I can't speak to the planning process working with them, but from the perspective of an attendee, it was absolutely perfect.

From the day we booked the venue to our wedding day, everything exceeded our expectations. Planning a wedding from a different city across the country had the potential to be stressful, but Michelle made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She was incredibly kind and attentive every step of the way. From vendor suggestions to random questions we had about the space or the menu, Michelle was always a quick email or phone call away. Our wedding day ran seamlessly. Our guests had an amazing time and so many of them commented afterwards on how beautiful the space was and how delicious the food was. We highly recommend the Club of Knights and are so happy with how our day went. We wouldn't change a thing!

Since the first day Daisy treated us very professional and nicely. She worked with my wife and me for 6 months so we could have the perfect wedding and it was everything we were expecting and more. We had a party of 160 people and all our guests were very surprised how elegant the place looked. Everything was highly coordinated. Food was amazing and the bar offered a great and fast service. DJ was on point with the music, nobody stopped dancing. Yamila the photographer spent all night taking as many pictures as possible and Daisy (ceremony master) was outstanding coordinating the ceremony and the party front the beginning to the end. In conclusion if you are looking for a banquet hall this is the right place. You won't regret it

From our very first conversation, Jose understood exactly what I was dreaming of, even the parts I couldn't articulate. His creativity is unreal, his taste is impeccable, and his ability to translate a feeling into a full, immersive environment is a true art form. Every detail -- from the florals to the textures to the lighting to the overall atmosphere -- felt intentional, elevated, and completely original. He is not only a gifted designer but also a joy to collaborate with. He listened, he guided, he dreamed with us, and then he executed with a level of precision and artistry that left us speechless when we walked into our ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about how stunning and unique everything was. Jose didn't just decorate our wedding -- he created a world. A world that reflected who we are, what we love, and the kind of magic we hoped to feel that day.
