Briza on the Bay - Miami, Florida

Camila R. M.

I just got married in Briza on the Bay last Friday (July 5th 2024) and it was the most amazing wedding ever. Nelly and her team were absolutely incredible. Everything was spectacular, all of our guests LOVED this place, the view by the ocean, the cóctel hour was outside and we had the sunset and EVERYONE told us the food and drinks were AMAZING. We are so blessed we found this beautiful place. Nelly was always so responsive and nice, her staff did an amazing job. We did our religious ceremony, cóctel hour and reception in Briza, and it was DREAMY! We had it all in once place, if you are a Bride to Be this is your best option, believe me you won’t want to have a dozen of vendors, in Briza they take care of the majority, seating, food, drinks, wedding cake, and so much more, and the quality of everything is A+. I highly recommend this place and trust me YOU NEED NELLY, she is a sweetheart and a rockstar. Thanks for everything! I will remember this day forever!! We had the best day of our lives!

I had my wedding at Briza and it was phenomenal. From the moment my husband and I met Gerry and he explained their packages we knew this was the place for us. First thing I'm going to mention, don't hesitate and book Nelly as your "day of" coordinator, she's a bride fairy Godmother. They give you a list of vendors they recommend from which we booked Leyda as our florist and she helped me design the whole wedding, everything came out beautiful! Her hands are gold!
The food at this venue is hands down the best food I've ever tried at any venue in the city of Miami. Weeks after my wedding our guests were still complimenting how delicious the entrees and the appetizers were. Pay the fee to have your cocktail hour by the marina so your guests can enjoy the beautiful view as well. My husband and I are forever grateful with Briza and everyone on their team. Amazing customer service and affordable prices considering they're located in downtown Miami and right next to the ocean. Once again, if you want the day of your wedding to be a breeze, so you can fully enjoy, book Nelly as your coordinator!!! Harry (Event manager) and Nelly know this venue to perfection and they will manage everything smoothly and all your guests will feel welcomed and attended.

My husband and I highly recommend Briza on the Bay for your wedding! We are a military family living about 10 hours away and Nelly, Harry, and the whole Briza Team were absolutely so easy to work with. Nelly and Harry are the best coordinators and they will make your wedding day feel at ease. Myself, my husband, and all of our guests felt that they were so sweet, efficient, and personable. The guests loved the food, the beautiful venue along the water, and the service. The location of this venue is perfect. It is right along the beautiful marina, walking distance to various hotels and Trinity Cathedral (where we had our religious ceremony), and also located near a hotel mall where all of our out of state guests were able to eat, drink, get their nails/hair done, and hang out. I can go on and on about how Briza on the Bay made our wedding day a dream! We HIGHLY recommend this venue and having Nelly (Nellysevent) be your next wedding coordinator.

We had an excellent birthday party at Briza on the Bay and did not have a single complaint or frustration since the day we signed the contract over a year ago. Gerry, Nelly, and Harry were excellent partners during the entire planning phase and especially during the event itself to make sure it went off without a hitch. The venue is beautiful with uplighting throughout, a great sound system, the drinks were good and strong, the food was superb, and the staff was gracious and gave great service. We are so happy to have selected Briza for our big birthday party. Thank you Briza for an excellent event!!

What a great choice of venue. First of all the location is amazing and the atmosphere is gorgeous once they set everything up. Secondly, everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive. We wanted a do-it-all venue since we didn't have a wedding planner and are a simpler couple. Our main focus was feeding people food and alcohol and having a fun party - mission accomplished! Harry was the all-star of the occassion and made the process seamless. He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were taken care of and made our families feel special. They took a lot of stress off of our plate, and for a very fair and reasonable price. Highly recommend Briza.

If you are planning an event and want to have the support of the staff and management, plan it here.

Beautiful views of the bay, this venue has something extra special: a team of people committed to making your event a success. We've hosted several events at this location and have only good things to say about the location and staff.

[THE STAFF]
Our daughter, my wife, and I spent a considerable amount of time looking for the best venue for our daughter's Quinces. Nelly (event manager) and Harry (operations manager) were not just business associates, they became family. We visited many potential venues, however once we met the staff at Briza's, we knew that the decision was done. We really appreciate the responsiveness and care that they took for our event. Returned all of our calls and inquires and always available to help with our process.
[THE ACCOMMODATION]
The location is absolutely beautiful, and when a large event is planned you get to stay at the residential location for an amazing rate. Being so close to the venue, and being able to go back and forth from our 3 bedroom fully furnished apartment was amazing. We checked in the day before, and stayed till the day after, it made the total experience phenomenal. We did not want to leave.
[THE LOCATION]
What can you say, once you have the chance to see the location, it is beyond words. Not a little strip mall location nor a random building in the middle of the city, but a beautiful sea side venue with breathtaking views where you can enjoy the marina, the sunset, and the Miami skyline.
[THE FOOD]
When you have friends/guests constantly tell you, that the food at Ciara's quinces was one for the books, that is a sign. We are constantly reminded that the quality and quantity of the food was superb. For our event we had a buffet style arrangement, with food choices only seen at high end restaurants..boy do I miss that Salmon. We had a wide variety of meats, pastas, dishes, with a grand finally of exquisite desserts. With a variety of dishes that satisfied vegetarians and non alike. The bar service and liquor was outstanding, and constantly flowing. The staff service was professional and seamless, they were there to attend to every little need and detail.
[OVERALL]
The whole experience was hands off, and the event managers handled everything!! All we we needed to do was to relax and enjoy our event. This will be an experience that my daughter, family and friends (Nelly and Harry included) will cherish forever. Our family thanks the staff at Briza's from the bottom of our hearts.
