Excellent wedding reception had a lovely experience, food was delicious too, service was excellent.

Beautiful staircase, railing detail

We had our work event here and wow what an amazing building. I'm sure there's plenty of history to it in a great area of coconut grove centrally located to all these restaurants and the Main Street. Check out the photos below pretty cool place. You would never think this is inside this building.

I've had this at Total Wine before.

A friend of mine had tickets for the Craft Spirits Festival held at The Cruz Building. He asked me with time, and so, I somehow managed to be a +1 to something I never even knew existed. This building is beautiful. Three floors it has and it seems each floor is more amazing than the last. The first floor is mainly an entrance and there were lots of vendors there. The vendors were also on the second and third floors, but these floors seemed more likely to hold parties given their extravagant bars. Not to mention that the third floor has an outside area that gives you a view of Miami. That and there were tables there for cigars, for those who appreciate a fine cigar with liquor. This venue overall is simply lovely. I imagine there must be a lot of fancy parties held there. Would love to return sometime. I do suggest, though, when going to take an Uber or Lyft. Parking in the area can be sparse. Then again, it's Coconut Grove. It's to be expected.

YEIIIIIIIII I finally went to this gorgeous venue where the Craft Spirit Event was held at. They do not have a parking lot or garage but there are many street options and that's' exactly what we did. The architecture of this building is simply gorgeous, with French New Orleans influence and Europe all over. It has four floors but I got to see the first three. The Balcon at the third-floor is soooooo pretty and I simply loved this place.

The Cruz building is incredible, unique, lavish, elegant, beautiful, opulent and so much more. I had my dream wedding on December 4th,2021. Thanks to my wedding planner and all the vendors I worked with, the wedding was a success and a huge hit with the guests. I used all three floors of the venue. Ceremony on the first floor, cocktail on the second floor, dinner on the third floor and dancing on the terrace. It was absolute perfection. Totally recommend this venue for brides that are looking to have a unique venue experience with that wow factor!

We celebrate our daughters Quinces at The Cruz Building . We live in Los Angeles and we rented the venue by pictures . When I went to see the venue it was so much more than what I expected. I was so pleased with the staff before and during the event , they were accommodating to us , professional , knowledgeable and kind. If you are looking for the perfect venue for your party , The Cruz Building is it ! Thank you to all the Staff at the Cruz Building for making our evening unforgettable. The Garcia Family!

I love this building so much. I always get excited when an event it held here. I wish there were more public events, because it's such a special space. I remember when it was a British pub, then a club, and it was amazing. I wish there were more places like this in Miami. My most recent visit was for a cocktail event held on all three floors. It is so amazing to check out all of the beautiful architecture and details. Sometimes you feel like you're in a British pub, with wooden booths, and at other times you feel like you are in Versailles in France. The bottom floor is perfect for a wedding or for setting up dinner tables, and the top floor is the perfect party space. If you get a chance to visit this event space, do it! Events always have valet.

I had my wedding here at The Cruz Building. I wanted a venue that was unlike any other venue I have ever been to. I also wanted a gothic, moody-style wedding and did NOT want the traditional "flowery" girly type wedding. The SECOND I walked into The Cruz Building, I looked at my (now) husband and said "this is it! We have to book it!" & we did just that. The Cruz Building was the FIRST venue I looked at and I cancelled all the other venue tours I had. My mind was already made up. I worked with Maggie from "Inspired Events" (the caterer that works for The Cruz Building" and she made the wedding planning process completely stress free; and I seriously mean that. My actual wedding day went *FLAWLESSLY* - as you can imagine, I have never done this before so I had NO idea what to expect! My bridal suite was absolutely gorgeous & my bridesmaids and I had the ENTIRE third floor to get ready. I can't stop boasting about how amazing and out of this WORLD my wedding was. Gladys who works at the building made everything seamless and Maggie and Elsie from Inspired Events (caterer) made me feel like the most special bride to have ever stepped foot in The Cruz Building. They put 110% effort into every single wedding and make you feel extraordinarily special the entire wedding process. (From wedding planning to the actual wedding ceremony and reception itself, I felt like I was top priority, always!) I sincerely owe The Cruz Building and Inspired Events a huge "THANK YOU!" Thank you for creating the *MOST MEMORABLE NIGHT* of my life and for orchestrating an event that my guests will keep talking about for months to come.

I'm extremely biased but I love this place. My husband and I recently got married at this venue in December. It was the perfect backdrop for my dream wedding in Miami. My goal was to stray away from a traditional hotel and have a unique venue with different rooms/settings. While Miami has some really cool venues that can deliver that, I also didn't want an outside venue with the unpredictable Miami weather. For starters, this place isn't cheap. If you have a strict budget I have to break the news that this might not be the place for you. The venue has has a slightly cheaper rental fee on Fridays (the day I got married) than Saturday and you can also just rent 1 or 2 floors instead of the entire 3 floors) BUT from experience, renting The Cruz Building and not having the 3rd floor seems like a complete waste to me. It's the prettiest and the best location in the building for the party/reception. The grand bar up there is gorgeous and the patio is also a great option to have for your guests. I ended up having 90 guests. Ceremony and cocktail on the first floors, dinner on the second, dessert and dancing on the third. The guests have so many compliments to say about the venue. It's like every floor was a new surprise. If a unique venue is what you're looking for then go check this place out in person. I must say the pictures don't do it justice. I almost didn't go see it because I wasn't completely sold by the pictures. It's so much more elegant and prettier in person. The staff keep this place SUPER clean (what sold my mom). Another added cost to keep in mind when booking TCB, valet is mandatory upon booking this venue. You must pay for this cost for your guest. They also require you to rent a dance floor with them. I brought an outside caterer but all furniture must be booked through them.

See all

Waiters aren't good. Extremely Slow. Beautiful building compensates for the lack of effort.

Penthouse at Riverside Wharf

Little Havana

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.

My friends and I went to The Penthouse at Riverside Wharf this weekend, and what a view!…read more The venue has great views on both sides - it has an urban background with the skyline and the freeway on one side, and an awesome view of The Wharf and waterfront on the other side. 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!

Breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner you have many option to eat from different country cuisine in this place, but at night with live music and other activities from all restaurants around make this Plaza something extraordinary to visit. Remember if you in Miami don't forget coming to Giralda Plaza.

I think this spot is an awesome and much needed addition to Coral Gables. They did a fantastic job…read moreof re modelling the whole area - with pretty trees and a lovely pattern to the tile work on the floors (it is 600 foot long). 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.
