    Attended my second wedding here in November 2020. The room is so beautiful and you can really let your creativity go wild and create whatever your vision is. Along the way, both of my friends were helped by their director of events, Libby. They spoke very highly of her and I had the pleasure of meeting her while we were setting up this last time. She was so incredibly nice and is absolutely the kind of person you want/need while planning an important event.

    Tough to find near the prison, but it was worth the patience. Very nice event space, cozy yet elegant with good service & food. Room to mingle & acoustics made for good conversations ; very nice time!

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere there... We will have our reception there August 15th and we came this weekend to The Historic Maxwell Room to view the restaurant and food. I have to say the drinks and food are amazing. I really enjoy how the event coordinator, Libby, always communicate with us. I know when August 15th come everything will run very smoothly. 5 stars all the way!!!

    What can I possibly say about Libby and this venue! Libby makes every step of planning just about as easy as can be. I planned my wedding in 6 weeks from Los Angeles and she was always available and upfront about everything. She made it so easy for us and the space is so beautiful already, we only added flowers. Libby is the perfect person to have on your wedding day because she's super smart, organized, efficient, and all around awesome. Her staff was incredible and my guests raved about the space and food. I love that there were so many nooks and crannies to hang in. The dining room is off from the dance floor, so people can hear each other over dinner. The bar is HUGE and fun. The courtyard is so pretty for photos and the river is right there. Can't recommend it enough and just want to go back!

    Recently threw a surprise party and the maxwell room and everything was great. Food, drinks and atmosphere were on point! Libby is super accessible and great to work with. Will most definitely look to do another event here.

    Had our daughters Sweet Sixteen party here. Libby and her team were great. The venue is absolutely charming and unique. A secret little gem of a place in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

    We got married in February 2019, and I cannot tell you how wonderful of an experience it was to work with the Historic Maxwell Room. Libby first off is super down to earth and so accommodating. Our wedding started as a courthouse idea and went all the way to a full fledged wedding. So we had a few changes here and there through out the 5 months of planning, and it was never a problem for Libby and her team. The price is right and totally available on the website. No need for the pesky contact inquiries, you can find it right there in front of you. And for what you get, the food is phenomenal, the drinks are plentiful, and it made for an incredible night. Service is top notch! And the actual appearance of the place is so unique especially in South Florida. You won't find another place like it ladies. Please look no further! It's an incredible place, and Libby and her team are WOW WOW WOW! We used a lot of Maxwell's recommended vendors, and it was like working with a family of people who don't know you but want you to have an amazing day. Thank you so much!

    Historic Maxwell Room Courtyard.  Funky & Fabulous!

By happenstance, we stumbled across Events by Vento and set up a meeting with Ana (whom we hadn't met prior) and her staff right away. After interviewing SEVERAL wedding planners we fell in love with Ana- she's extremely professional, smart, gorgeous :) , and really knows how to make things happen exactly they way that we wanted them to happen! From start to finish, Ana was available 100%- day or night- she drove from Fort Lauderdale, to Miami, back up to Boca Raton all in a day just to be there to help us make a decision on a wedding dress. Her assistants Nicollette and Fernanda are absolute dolls! The day of our wedding they both assisted us with whatever task we needed, whether it was coffee runs, champagne refills, vent sessions, or last minute steaming of dresses! The day of our wedding was seamless; not one thing out of order... she blew our expectations out of the water! But above all, she's committed to her clients, to the vision, and now as our life-long friend. Thank you Ana, Nicollette, and Fernanda; we thank you and we love you!

I've known Jess for a long time--back when I used to make cakes for her events--so I already knew how talented, organized, and creative she was. When my original dream wedding couldn't happen because of COVID in 2020, I told Jess to hold onto my deposit because one day, we'd still make it happen. And she did just that! Fast forward to our 5th year vow renewal week in Sicily, and it was everything I could've ever dreamed of and more. Jess made our vow renewal week in Sicily not just possible--but truly magical. From start to finish, she handled every detail with grace, professionalism, and heart. She went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, coordinating seamlessly across time zones, different vendors, and language barriers ‍ to ensure everything ran perfectly and flawlessly. Her calm energy, eye for detail, and genuine passion for what she does made all the difference. Thanks to Jess, our entire week felt effortless and unforgettable. Every guest was impressed, every moment was beautiful, and every memory will be cherished forever.

I had…read morebeen familiar with her creative work for a few years, and she was our first call when my husband and I started planning our wedding back in early 2020. Through the rollercoaster of planning a wedding during COVID-19, Adri remained cool, calm, creative and flexible. She helped us downsize our 300+ person wedding into a gorgeous and incredibly special micro wedding with our immediate families. Adri is an incredibly detailed process manager and her design sense is unparalleled. But what really sets her apart is her beautiful spirit and passion for creating extraordinary events. It is truly a joy to work with her, and she radiates a calming presence that puts everyone at ease. She treats her clients like family, and is kind and collaborative with every vendor. There were so many instances when Adri went WAY above and beyond the scope of our contract to make sure every our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect. Even her amazing husband Gabe (who is a full-time firefighter) showed up on multiple occasions to help! Thank you to the Creative's Loft and its one-of-a-kind founder, Adriana, for making the most important day of our lives so perfect, memorable, and uniquely magical!

She took the time to learn about us and hear what we like, and carefully curated the wedding of our dreams (with, of course, her unmatched creativity). Miami is an intimidating place to plan a wedding, and she made the process smooth and easy. Having someone with expertise surrounding budgets, reliable vendors, and flexible venues is key to being stress-free while planning a wedding. We got so many compliments from guests saying it was the "best wedding we've ever been to." I'm not sure if my husband and I will ever be done looking at pictures from our day; it was the best weekend of our lives. Forever grateful for Adriana + team for making it happen.
