Located in Horse Country this spot automatically transports you out of Miamis typical scene. The ranch/farm like space is awesome to get creative and explore a dream event in here.

My favorite part is the hospitals of the owners, they're so warm, welcoming by and make you feel right at home. Love this spot and would highly recommend!

When my sisters and I found out back in '25 that our niece would be getting married here on June…read more27, '26, there was no question- we aunties were all in for a destination wedding. The excitement started wayyy before we packed our bags, but once I saw the venue my niece had chosen, I totally understood why. She and her husband live in Miami, so it seemed only right that they chose such a beautiful South Florida location. The moment we came to Vignette Gardens, we were speechless. The palm trees were all over the property, giving that lush greenery feel that instantly made the venue feel like an oasis. Every shaded corner seemed like a secret hideaway and picture-perfect backdrop. This is one of those places where nature did most of the talking. The wedding ceremony was beautifully arranged on the lawn, where rows of chairs faced a gorgeous floral arch under the palm trees. My niece's wedding was intimate and romantic that blended perfectly with the landscape. After the ceremony, guests made their way under the spacious reception tent. Honestly, that was the best place to be once that South Florida sun and humidity settled in. The tent offered tons of shade, a cool breeze from the fans and a comfortable space where everyone could relax while also celebrate and dance the night away without battling the sweltering heat. I honestly don't know every detail my niece selected for her wedding, but I do know one thing- her village showed up. Us four aunties, along with her mom (our oldest sister- yes, we're 5 sisters) were all hands on deck, each with our own assignment. Our oldest sister (her mom) took charge of putting together the centerpieces and other touches. My other two sisters were responsible for the seating display, inspired by a cool TikTok idea. They arranged an assortment of drinking glasses, each labeled with a guest's name and the corresponding table number. It wasn't just functional- it became part of the décor AND a keepsake. My twin sister worked on the ceremony arch, decorating it with lush florals and a flowing cream-colored fabric that gave the display a soft, organic, romantic feel. And I took charge of the welcome sign. I went to Lowe's and had a 20"x40" wooden board cut to size, then ordered a custom stencil with their names+ wedding date+etc from Etsy. Around the border, I placed faux greenery as a base before weaving in fresh flowers to give it that natural, organic touch. One thing that totally impressed me just as much as the venue itself was the awesome staff here. Every employee knew exactly what needed to be done and when to do it. But there was one woman- probably a manager(?) who truly stood out. She took charge with making sure every detail of my niece's and her husband's wedding came out smooth. She also made sure the entire team stayed on the same page. They worked like a well-oiled machine, as I always like to say. Everyone was in sync, and every transition happened like butter smooth. That's exactly what you hope for when choosing a wedding venue. After seeing it firsthand, I seriously believe Vignette Gardens could host just about any celebration- from anniversaries to birthdays, family reunions, baby showers or milestone events- just ask though. If you're looking for a venue that's both naturally beautiful and well-managed, Vignette G. is worth reaching out to inquire about what they offer.

The outside garden area is beautiful, you don't have to do much decorating because of all of the colorful foliage. The other two spaces are indoors for the cocktail hour and dining space that's in an adjacent room. Their staff is extremely attentive and are in full force. They are constantly picking up the cocktail plates during cocktail hour, bringing out fresh hors d'oeuvres, they had the full bar open while waiters also cruised the room handing out individual themed cocktails. Those special cocktail recipes were provided by the bride and groom. Once we entered the main room/dining area, which is a bigger space with mobile bar area, higher ceilings and seating, we were able to sit down and relax. Entrées prepared by the kitchen were salmon and roasted cauliflower steak. Of course I had the roasted a cauliflower steak. It was delicious. The kitchen had options for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. I was thankful for that. Before the main course came out, we had bread and citrus salad. The servers are very prompt and timely, they got all of our food out before the bride entered. They were very professional and accommodating to the guests . I can't tell you how important it is to have an organized staff. This is definitely a place to look into for your event.

We went for the Sade tribute, and enjoyed the performers very much! As a Sade fan, They were really great and did her well. The downside was we walked over to the bar to get a glass of wine or champagne and was told there were only a couple soda options, water, and a couple of canned mocktails. Which I ended up ordering for $10 and hated it. If I recall correctly it was a licensing issue. That should have been something that we knew in advance. You go to a concert and expect to have some libations. I'd try the venue again if in fact the bar situation is ironed out as I was told it would be.

I started to plan my wedding and looking for a nice affordable place where we can have our union;…read moreafter searching and searching I remembered that FIU has ballrooms, so I called them to see if they rent them to the public and they DO!!! Maxine, the event coordinator was excellent, she had the disposition to help me from the get go and she is full of ideas. I have to admit that I was a bridezilla the 1st meeting, but she never stop smiling. We rented the middle ballroom (they have 3) as we had a small wedding of less that 100 guests. The rental included the tables, the chairs and the dance floor!!! you can't get any better than that. For additional fee we had plants to fill out the room and we had lighting, everything was super affordable. Maxine is full of ideas and her staff is ready to serve. I was able to visit the venue as many times as needed (with the DJ, with the photographer, with my fiance, etc.) they were always ready to accommodate us. The set up was ready the day before (as they did not have other events in that ballroom) and we where able to start the arrangements 1st thing in the morning, which was awesome. Our wedding was the only programmed event for the day (and I do believe that is always like that) so, the DJ didn't have to battle with other music; and we didn't have to worry about other people. We started set up at 10:00 am, wedding was at 4:00 in the green area in front of the ballrooms, cocktail hour was in the lobby of the ballrooms and the reception went on until 10:00, everyone loved the place, is modern and well taken care of. I would recommend anyone to have their special event here.

Pretty restaurant shopfronts with plenty of outside seating, making it a super cool area. As we all know the main area for shopping and restaurants is at Miracle Mile, but this is predominantly THE place you come for a tux, wedding dress or bridesmaid dress, and with Coral Gables prices to match. So Giralda Plaza is a nice alternative, with a different vibe. It is also near some pretty nice architectural buildings - see my other Coral Gables reviews, such as the tiny Pittman park for example. Giralda Plaza is walkable friendly ie no cars are allowed to travel down it and it is a great place to chill out for a coffee, people watching or meal. There is plenty restaurants and cafes here to choose from, such as - Talavera Cocina Mexicana, Clutch Burger, Coyo Taco, Espresso Cubano, Kae Sushi, Bangkok Bangkok 2, The lokal, Divino Ceviche, Miss Saigon Bistro, La Sandwicherie, Threefold Cafe, (apologise's if I missed any out) It is also a instagram worthy spot, as they regularly have features here. They had the Umbrella sky - see my pictures of that. Recently they had a gorgeous display for fall ? autumn- see my pictures for that! Such a clever marketing ploy, and it works as people definitely come for that, and then are tempted to spend money in the restaurants.
