“We got married on this yacht in October and it was absolutely perfect! Having our 200 guests celebrating with the Miami skyline as our backdrop was beyond magical. The top deck was spacious enough for cocktail hour and dancing, while the main salon provided an elegant setting for dinner. Our guests are still raving about how unique and beautiful our wedding was. The crew was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and on the big day everything ran flawlessly.

“Our wedding reception at the DoubleTree By Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay was everything we hoped for and more. From start to finish, the team—especially Adriana, our catering manager, along with Katlyn, Ani, and Delimar—went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly.

“My husband and I had our wedding here Nov. 2024. Everything from the food, to the service, location, parking literally everything was perfect. I am being completely honest when I say I have no complaints. The evening went so smoothly thanks to the team at Vista Lago. They were constantly checking on my husband and I throughout our wedding. One of the most important details to me was the food and the food here was incredible. Everyone was raving about how great everything tasted. You have the ceremony, cocktail and reception all in one location. Not only is it great for weddings, but it is also great for baby showers, 15’s, birthdays and a lot of other fun events. It has high ceilings with beautiful chandeliers. It’s a gorgeous venue and the best value you will find in Miami. If you are anything like me and very indecisive and anxious, Vista Lago is the place to hold your wedding at. We are both incredibly happy we chose this venue and will be choosing this venue for future celebrations. They also gave us the left overs. We couldn’t eat on our wedding because of our nerves but we were able to enjoy the food the day after and everyone was right it was sooo good”
