On April 16, 2016, David and I were provided with excellent service at Vista Lago Ballroom, and we are truly appreciative. We had been to and seen so many venues, both near and far. We were then highly recommended to Vista Lago Ballroom by a dear friend (Missy). So we met with Jose and Raquel Salcedo, a husband and wife team. We are so delighted we did, especially after seeing so many other options we have here in South Florida. We decided then to book at Vista Lago Ballroom, we made the right choice. They made it easy, with great packages and reasonable prices; however, upholding the highest levels of integrity. The outside of this stand-alone building is beautiful. Private parking and it’s all gated. The view of the lake and ceremony area is breath taking. The outdoor patio is large enough to accommodate your entire party. The bathrooms inside have granite counter tops and modern. The ceiling is high with beautiful chandeliers and wood floors. Very elegant. We had many comments from our guests, young and the not so young, on the quality of your service, food, and staff. The food, oh wow!!! We had a buffet style buffet with Churrasco with chimichurri sauce, (to die for) cook to perfection. There was also Pork (Lechon Asado) tender - YUMMMM, the sides were Congri and a mixed medley of vegetables. Please also take note that we also had a few guests that are Vegan and the Chef made sure they were also accommodated as well. THANK YOU Chef Miguel Angel ! Their staff was very attentive and helpful. We interacted directly with on several occasions, especially with Raquel and Darlene, who were very knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in helping us finalize all the little details for our wedding, they gave great input and suggestion for items that met our needs rather than just being focused on making a quick sale. We would also like to express our appreciation on the incredible job DJ Carlos Rodriguez did at our Wedding. The music was fantastic and he played all the songs we requested. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional fun filled DJ. We thank you for keeping the crowd jumping. I think the music at a wedding reception it’s just as important as the venue and the food: we certainly hit a trifecta on the above. Our guests had a wonderful time and we believe that was a part of and thanks to the DJ’s selection of music, and the sensible volume at which it was played. Please thank him for us for the wonderful job he did at our Wedding. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE… thumbs up!!!!

We got married on May 28, 2017 and our wedding reception at Vista Lago Ballroom was everything we could have ever wanted and more. Before deciding on a venue for our reception, my wife and I decided to research what other locations were available in South Florida and what they offered for the festivities. Among the multiple places we visited, Vista Lago stood out because of the option to customize the ballroom to our personal taste and all that they offered in their wedding package. The location is essentially a "blank slate" in that they provide the space for you to design your wedding the way you want it. Their wedding package met our budget and we felt was the best of all the locations we visited as it included flowers, linens for the tables, chiavari chairs, wedding cake from Eddas cake designs, food and premium liquors, lighting and the DJ (Roly- that did an amazing job in playing music for our wedding). These are all things which usually have to be contracted separately but Vista Lago offers it to you in a single package and we felt it simplified the process to help us focus on other details of the wedding. In the time leading up to our wedding, their staff works with you step by step with the planning and what needs to be done in the days leading up to the big day. They provide a tasting and set up a sample table with your choice of linen, floral arrangement and chair to make sure they know exactly how you want your tables to look. When the day finally arrived, the staff made my wife and I feel like royalty in the manner in which they treated us. They certainly know how to make you feel like the center of attention. Whenever we had a question or concern that needed to be addressed, the staff returned our calls or text messages in due time (usually same day) and made us feel at ease. We highly recommend this location to any couple that wants to find a perfect venue to celebrate a special occasion.

I heard about this place through a friend who was getting married there. I had recently just gotten engaged so I went to see the venue (which is nothing out of the other world) without checking out any other place (which was my worst mistake) stupid of me I booked with them 3 years in advance. Soon after they tell my fiancé he is getting deployed . So I call Jose and explain my situation to him and he flats out tell me No returning my money. JOses excuse was that he already paid for the venue. "BS" .. I asked him if could atleast get what I put down which were $600 and he still replied no. I specifically tell him NOT TO CANCEL MY WEDDING DATE. A few months later I go to my friends wedding . The food was horrible . Not only did it taste bad but it was cold ( even the bread). Unfortunately, it rained on my friend wedding so they had to have it inside. During the ceremony you hear all of the walkie-talkies going off, super unprofessional! Sad that all of that came out on the video ! I emailed Jose a few month later to ask when I could go and start picking out things for my wedding and he flat out tells me NO he had canceled my wedding and given my day to someone else. Jose is heartless and has no sympathy for anyone he makes his money and thats all he cares about!( Oh and everything is extra! Drapes, Furniture, extra hour etc.! Any single little thing is extra.) I would really understand him not giving me my money back if I was cancelling 1 year before the wedding but I was canceling 3 years in advance, I lost $1,500. Its sad to say that my fiancé got deployed and I had to cancel my wedding due to this inconvenience and this man didnt care. Please check out other venues before booking with these people and making the same mistake I did. Soon after I found and amazing venue that includes everything. (even drapes =) check them out "Longan place" I lost my money but I finally got my happy ending

I am very grateful to the whole team of Exquisite Productions. I planned part of my wedding while living in another state and I have a very busy work schedule. I got to admit that I was a bit worried about how things would turn out as I did not have time to do many things prior to the wedding due to my hectic work schedule (such as food tasting, hair and makeup trial, etc). But all those fears melted away the day of the wedding, in fact I didnt have time to think about anything, everything just came along well. I dont know how Raquel, Jose and his team pull it off, but they do. They are like your family-run one-stop shop, and thats what I really liked about them. Having to plan via email most of our wedding it made the planning much easier. They have very reasonable prices and they gave me great recommendations for other vendors such as the florist. Raquel will be like your fairy godmother and she will make sure everything will run as planned and will think about the little things you never thought about. She will make your day run smoothly and you will not have to worry about anything. Cecy was my little sidekick and she was with us until the end in case we needed anything. She was a sweetheart and she has a great demeanor and spirit. I had an amazing master of ceremony/DJ, DJ Rolle, he was great, he didnt miss a beat, was very professional and helped us set up for the tiny serenade my husband performed for me and our guests were dancing until the end. The food was great and my family was raving about the waitstaff/servers and how great their service and attention to detail was. All in all, we all have great things to say about the Exquisite Productions team and they will make sure you have an amazing event.
