The Cruz Building Reviews

My son and his wife decided to hold their wedding at The Cruz Building. This was a destination wedding since guests came from all over the country, but mainly Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of The Cruz. Many have remarked that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended. Since the weather was very cooperative, we were able to make great use of the outdoor area on the 3rd level. There are 3 floors and each level is different and equally wonderful. We worked very closely with Gladys and she was so pleasant and helped us work out details and gave us helpful suggestions. We would definitely recommend this venue.

Gladys, Jehanne, Maggie, and Elizabeth - thank you!!! The most amazing day of our lives thanks to you all.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and makes a statement the moment you walk in. We used the venue for our wedding reception and it was so beautiful and we got so many compliments from the guests.
During the planning process, everyone with the building was great to work with and really helped us to make our day special

I haven’t turned out perfect. This Building is beautiful and a great choice. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

The perfect venue for any wedding or pre-wedding event. We held our Sangeet there. Stunning with a perfect location!

The Cruz building staff was top notch. Gladys went out of her way to encourage and inspire the process. The building is beautiful to begin with but they made every effort to pull off our vision. Could not recommend the venue or the staff more.

The Cruz Building is beautiful, no additional decorations needed other than flowers and some tea light candles. The building was clean and well kept up. We had the wedding for our daughter and it just was a perfect setting for the type of wedding she was looking for. i recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding that is gothic, romantic, intimate, perfect setting. The location was great as well plenty of hotels and places to eat, shop, explore etc.

Best place ever!!
wonderful party!!
amazing night!!

Arilys has been so great to work with! She is very informative, always responds with helpful answers to my many questions, and is very committed to making sure our wedding dreams come true! We are having a long engagement to have time to plan and save money, and for my fiancé to finish med school, but even with a long planning timeline she makes herself available for planning help as we are in the beginning stages, letting us tour the venue, connecting us to catering vendors and other partnering vendors, etc. We love her and are SO excited for our wedding at the Cruz Building! Wishing it was sooner!

Absolutely beautiful venue. Arilys was very responsive and helpful in the process. If you're looking for a unique venue, you will not be disappointed.

From start to finish, everything at The Cruz was amazing. Gladys made everything smooth and fun, with little stress. All our guests were shocked at how perfect everything came out

The Cruz Building is a Beautiful Venue. Our experience was amazing and the Staff is exceptional. We highly recommend this venue!

I have no words to describe how incredible The Cruz Building was for our wedding venue. From the first day we saw it we knew that it was the place for us. It is so special and beautiful, and all of our guests were wowed the day of. In addition, Gladys was very helpful throughout the whole planning process and was always available to answer questions or help us with planning. I would HIGHLY recommend the Cruz Building to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue.

This is such a beautiful venue! The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered and that we had a flawless party. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate our anniversary.

The Cruz Building is not only stunning, but the staff is equally as great. I had the best time at my wedding with all 3 floors. From the security guard, to the operations coordinator, everyone at the Cruz building was responsive, helpful, and so professional. Loved working with Gladys.Our guests were so impressed with the venue as well. So beautiful. Worth the money!

This venue is over the top!!! You want to wow your guests? You want a fairly tale wedding? Look no further, the Cruz building is everything you've ever dreamed of! Just had my wedding on New Year's Eve with 150 people and my family and friends wont stop raving about the venue. The staircase the bride comes down is out of this world. Gladys and the whole Cruz building team are phenomenal! Thanks gladys for everything!! The Cruz building is EVERYTHING you want your wedding to be. Trust me!

This was by far the most breathtaking experience I have ever had. And it is all thanks to this incredible venue. The views and scenery and everything about this place made our wedding one of a kind and one that Our guests will never forget and a day that my husband and I and family will cherish forever

The Cruz Building is not only a beautiful venue, but their staff is a pleasure to work with. Both Gladys and Maggie truly assisted with their professionalism and knowledge. I would highly recommend the Cruz Building any day.

My daughter wanted the Cruz Building for her wedding venue from the moment she first saw it. The grand staircase took her breath away and she pictured herself coming down as a bride. We looked at other venues but after seeing it, it was impossible to forget it and we eventually decided to have it there on April 23, 2016. We started out with Sue and then Gladys took over and did a terrific job. She made sure it all came together and had great suggestions. We had the cocktail reception on the 3rd floor and patio with high and low tops and bar stools. The 2nd floor was a sit-down dinner for 150 guests. We met with Gladys and our caterer to work out the proper seating per table so that the servers were
able to properly serve guests. The first floor was the party/dj and it was nice because the 2nd floor is open to the first floor allowing guests to stay seated or move to the first floor, which was set up as a nightclub with high and low tops and bar stools. The entire first and 2nd floor was lit with amber lighting and of course, the beautiful stain glass ceiling was so attractive. The entire place looked like something from New Orleans, which is my daughter's favorite city. They even had a second line dance with umbrellas down that beautiful staircase. We used all the built-in bars and a Cuban cigar roller sat on the 3rd floor patio and hand-rolled cigars. My only concern was the church ceremony would end too early and our guests would be left standing around the church or the Cruz Building until it opened at 5. Gladys was very flexible and allowed them to come in 10 minutes early, which was great because it was hot and black- tie optional attire.
My guest continue to compliment us on our gorgeous wedding reception venue . If you are looking for uniqueness and elegant charm.. you can't go wrong with the Cruz Building, tucked on a quaint side street in Coconut Grove, Florida.

The Cruz Building was just a perfect venue for us for our wedding day. The entire team was super helpful and willing to work with us to meet our budget needs. It's not cheap, but was worth every dollar as it provided decorations itself (leaving me with minimal decorations to make myself, super helpful!). It is a unique character for a venue, so my advice would be to make sure it speaks to you and feels right for your overall vision, but if you do choose it, it will be simply stunning for all. Gladys and the whole operations team were fantastic and always wonderful. No issues what-so-ever with any aspect of the venue. They provided me with a list for my caterer who made the whole process so much smoother (it helps if they know the venue well).

We had the most incredible wedding at this most fabulous venue. We had the best service imaginable and if I could do it all over I would choose The Cruz Building again! We also had the most amazing wedding photographers from Couture Bridal Photography, who truly captured our day with the most amazing photography. Alfredo and Giovanni were amazing to work with from the day we contacted them, through to our engagement session, boudoir session and wedding day which we started with by doing an elegant and romantic bridal boudoir session. If you want to have an amazing wedding day I recommend all 3 levels at the Cruz Building and Couture Bridal Photography with their exclusive DJ team of Joey and Jeff to make your wedding day phenomenal!

Good Food, excellent service.
Very Helpful in Planning

My wedding was at the Cruz Building on October 9, 2015. I worked with Suzanne and Gladys.
Suzanne was very knowledgeable and helped me book the venue. My e-mails never went unanswered, and she encouraged me to ask away. I liked how well she communicated with me and my husband. I LOVED working with Suzanne!!! My traveling documents ended up in my bridal box, and Suzanne kept checking to make sure we had found them...beyond thoughtful!
Gladys was very understandable when the rain and traffic caused my wedding party to be late for rehearsal. We couldn't thank her enough for her comprehension.
Suzanne and Gladys are wonderful people!
Maggie and Alexandra were a pleasure to work with on our wedding day.
Thank you very much ladies!!! I am a satisfied customer!

My husband and I just had our dream wedding in July 2015 at The Cruz Building in Coconut Grove, FL. All of our guests enjoyed celebrating with us and couldn’t believe such a beautiful venue existed! The Cruz Building staff was amazing throughout out the entire process; this would not have been possible without the help from Suzanne, Gladys & Maggie! Thank you again ladies for all of your help! I would highly recommend The Cruz Building to all couples thinking of getting married!

They assist us in every way possible to make our event fabulous. Thank you.
