Villa Woodbine

I have been planning events for over 15 years and have worked with a lot of caterers and venues and Villa Woodbine is one of the BEST IN MIAMI!!! I want to commend Bill Hansen and Sandra Perez and Anthony, and the rest of Bill’s awesome team for doing an outstanding job for my client who was married at Villa Woodbine on 4÷26÷15. Everything from beginning to end was flawless! My clients were so happy and that makes me happy. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Thank you for everything! I will highly recommend your beautiful venue to all of my clients.

Went to a wedding here last night. The place is beautiful and we had a great time. Everyone liked it. From my standpoint the only thing that could have been better was having more than one bathroom. Open bar and 70+ guests had the line a little long. I overheard some of the ladies in heels wishing the ground was a little smoother, a majority of the event was outside so I guess you can expect a few bumps. Overall, it was a very nice place for a wedding.

We moved to Miami one month before getting engaged. Needless to say I was absolutely clueless about wedding venues down here but had a specific vision of what I DIDN’T want, a hotel banquet hall wedding. I wanted our big day to be somewhere beautiful, outdoors, and charming. I wanted it to photograph like a dream. I wanted the food to be outta this world, which usually means in-​house catering and a kitchen on-​site.
Enter Villa Woodbine.
After scouring the web for Miami wedding venues I had very little choices with such tough requirements, but Villa Woodbine seemed to fit the bill. On paper it had everything we needed. I didn’t waste our time with any other venue and we signed and put a deposit down for our big day on the spot.
As it turns out this venue is an institution in the area. We’ve met a fair amount of people who have called Miami home for decades and they either got married there, attended a wedding there, or just knew it’s a gorgeous place in the grove. Score!
I’m a more hands-​on bride than most but the Villa embraced my neuroticism and frequent emails. Amanda is a pro; her enthusiasm and bubbly energy kept the process exciting. Bill Hansen of Bill Hansen Catering is a pretty great dude and he should be proud of the team running this place. I was specific about my food menu (we did Sunday brunch) and they knocked it out the park. We had specialty cocktails that came out perfect; I even have guests asking for the recipes. I hired a day-​of coordinator and was blessed with Christina. I had a TON of details and she handled every single one of them– brides, spend the money on her because she is worth EVERY penny.
My wedding day was perfect. I’ll forever remember the delicious food, our lovely signature cocktails, the way the sun shone through the beautiful trees, how happy my friends and family were, and this treasure of a place. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks, y’all!

i went here last year for a wedding and was very impressed with how beautiful this place was. Unfortunately, the food was horrible, I couldn’t even eat what was on my plate. The Mash potatoes were worst than insta mash potatoes, just horrible. In addition, seeing that I am now planning my own wedding the outside ground was uneven making it very difficult to walk around in heels, thus I would not like my guest to be inconvenienced with this. Very beautifully decorated its a shame the food was so terrible.

Fairy tale like Villa in Miami. I attended a wedding here and everything was beautiful.

This is one of the best venues I’ve seen so far for hosting a wedding. The property is quite enchanting and great for a special occasion. The décor is unique and romantic. The set up in the outside terrace was beautiful and the buffet style food was really good too.

It almost seems like a secret… but Bill Hansen Catering (phenomenal caterer) has its own spectacular venue… The Historic Villa Woodbine, where his catering expertise evolves its a heavenly wedding experience at one of the most beautiful venues in South Florida.
Food — A+++ — My husband works in the food industry, so he knows good food and had set pretty high expectations for our wedding meal. He wanted a 5-​star food experience and would not accept «wedding food» at our wedding. Honestly, they exceeded our expectations… the meal was beautifully presented and more importantly, tasted delicious, (even by my husband’s picky standards). Our guests were really impressed and that’s always a great feeling.
Service — A+++ — My glass was always filled with champagne without even having to ask. Isn’t that wonderful? Everything was taken care of in such a polite, «we are here for you; you are our guest» demeanor, that we had a fabulous time without a care in the world!
Team — A+++ — You can’t ask to feel anymore cared for… Bill, Adam, Janet, and (another wonderful, jolly gentleman who he took care of things the day of) are wonderful people. PERSONAL SERVICE is the motto that they live and work by. Adam was extremely helpful and responsive, even when I frantically emailed him at 8pm days before the wedding — I’d get a reassuring email back within minutes. Incredible!
They should have 10 stars for value! They really deliver above and beyond!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! Our wedding was a blast! Truly a dream come true, thanks to you and all your team! :)

I attended a wedding here for a dear friend of mine. I was left breathless. It was an amazing evening. The venue seemed to glow all over. The courtyard, fountain lawn were exquisite. The interior rooms were also quite nice. I was in awe the entire evening. It is, quite simply, a magical place.

Hello Gorgeous! Perfect location for Vizcaya like wedding at less of the cost and much more intimate feel. It’s a beautiful mansion that sits on lushly landscaped property with a giant oak tree where you can hold your ceremony under. It has soft lights around it that light up at night too. The catering here is done solely by Bill Hansen Catering. When I fist got engaged, I had no idea what I wanted. The only 2 things I did know was that I had to have amazing food given my unbelievable passion for it and I wanted an intimate house-​like venue where both sides of the fam would feel comfortable and welcomed. Bill Hansen prides himself on his food, presentation an service. I could not have asked for more. The place is gorgeous and seems hidden off of South Bayshore Drive in the grove. When inside the property, you would never guess where you are. It’s just perfect if a historic old Spanish style mansion is what you’re looking for. Top notch food and service with an insanely beautiful location.

Was skeptical when wife wanted to have reception here, but it turned out great, the food was excellent too (a rarity at weddings) Done up beautifully and staff were great!

I attended a wedding here last night and fell in love with this venue.
Villa Woodbine can be best described as an Old World Miami mansion. Trees engulf the property and evoke a true, Coconut Grove vibe.
The actual house reminds me of Vizcaya, just on a smaller, more intimate scale. There’s a huge open-​air patio, perfect for an evening under the stars.
Catering for events here is done solely by Bill Hans Catering… and their food is delish! The service is also impeccable — in fact, I tried to tip a server and they refused to accept. Hello? I know. Crazy.
So if you are a bride to be or searching for the perfect, intimate event venue, this place is a must see.
