The food was amazing, from breakfast, lunch, dinner, to banquet. Service was fantastic. Our guests are still calling to tell us how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was. Our stay was great. I was in the tower suite and there was plenty of room for my 10 bridesmaids flower girls and moms coming in and out. I didn’t want to leave!! We actually extended our stay and considered doing it again. Carla was fantastic!! If you’re planning an event with her you will learn she does everything she can to make your vision come to life.

The Lightner Museum was a wonderful venue for our wedding celebration. From the very first interaction, their communication style was quick, smooth, yet a bit complicated at times. However, the quality of their work and overall value was truly phenomenal. The historical elegance of the space provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. When traffic was terrible and we couldn't find parking, the staff even went to my car to retrieve the linens, going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. While a few minor decor items were overlooked, the guests were none the wiser, and it was still a lovely evening from start to finish.
