Haus 820 was amazing to work with. When we first contracted with them they did not offer an…read moreall-inclusive package, however, they do now. We were able to use whatever vendors we wanted as long as they were licensed and insured. The space is large and we divided the main space into two separate rooms using pipe and draping to keep the ceremony area separate from the dining area. They have a nice bar area and prep kitchen making it a lot easier for caterers. They have a courtyard also that can serve as the ceremony area if preferred. We used that area for our cocktail hour. They were responsive, articulate, and able to answer whatever question we threw at them. Additionally, they have a bride and groom suite, making it super easy to get dressed at the venue. We highly recommend this venue as they could accommodate everything we needed for our daughter's wedding.

Excellent wedding venue! The interior is very well done with shades for the windows, as needed (our…read morefriends had all but one shade down, giving enough natural light for the photographers). After the ceremony on one side, we adjourned to the fenced courtyard for a coffee break and appetizers while the wedding party took photos inside. The courtyard has string lights and plenty of space for the ~125 guests to mingle. Once we returned inside, the ceremony space became the dance floor and we enjoyed a buffet-style dinner at the tables. There's so much space inside that there are so many options for your event. Mostly plain brick walls so the event will be what you make it to be!

The humidor while smaller compared to many large chain stores offers a nice selection and a variety of "house rolls". They even have a nice outdoor seating area for those warmer days and evenings

I can't fully express how grateful and happy I am that we got to meet Chris Torres today.

Thank you, Chris, for giving us some of the best hospitality in the world -- you truly made our day special.

Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations when visiting this venue for the first time…read morethis evening. They were starting a karaoke night and I figured since I enjoy performing that this would give me an opportunity to check out the venue for possible future event visits. The event was scheduled from 8pm to 12pm or later. We arrived 10 min. early in case there was already a crowd. GM Chris came to the door and asked us what time it was(?), that should have sent a red flag as he was the point person for running this event. We spent 10 min speaking with the Pink Piano owner next door and had a great conversation. At 8pm we went in and there was 1 individual sitting at the bar and the bartender. I ordered a scotch and a neutral for my disabled spouse. At 8:46pm with just 4 people (included) waiting for the karaoke, I went to the bar to close out my tab. The total for my drink and spouse came out to $19 and I left a $5 tip for the bartender who spent the entire time talking to the young man sitting at the bar. These are very difficult financial times for many people and to charge this type of prices for drinks, especially in Lakeland, Fl is absurd. As a very well organized individual who has managed many venues in his past along with being a professional performer, this was a complete disappointment from an operational point of view. If you are going to advertise a venue with a start time, at least either start on time or apologize to patrons who made provisions to attend the venue for events. My time is just as important as those running this establishment. Making arrangements to bring out a disabled spouse and having to wait almost an hour is totally unacceptable. If this is the type of operational standards then I along with my spuse will patron those establishments who have a deep appreciation for return customers and their financial contribution to the running of the business. I will leave it with this, if people choose to allow business's to simply run it without any regard for the paying customer, then you deserve what you get.

She/the staff put in a lot of effort and they even researched additional feline friendly flowers to use. I can't thank them enough and I won't stop referring them to everyone I know!
