We hosted a welcome reception for our wedding weekend on the terrace on a Friday evening in December 2022. The entire staff and grounds crew at The Stranahan House made it so easy and seamless by helping to recommend and coordinate the vendors we selected and were so responsive with any and all questions we had. It’s one of the most iconic locations in Ft Lauderdale that holds onto the city’s rich history and legacy. Perfect location for a welcome party.

The Bonnet House is such a stunning venue. The team there was so helpful--we needed tape, and they found some. We needed a binder, and they got one. They were so easy going and helpful, and made our special day go so easy. We are also so grateful that there was an emergency spot to do our ceremony in case of rain, and we're happy we didn't need to use it! Highly recommend!!
