Faena Forum — Attraction in Miami Beach

I was so happy with our entire wedding weekend at the Faena. We had our ceremony with 270 people on the beach, cocktail hour in and around the mammoth garden, and ceremony across the street at the Forum. Due to pricing we did a complete buyout of Casa Faena and had guests who wanted to stay at the main Faena Hotel book on their own. The guests who stayed at Casa Faena raved about it. Staff was friendly and they loved the charm of the boutique hotel and spent a lot of time on the roof). It comes without saying, the entire staff at the main hotel was also exceptional. As for the wedding I couldn’t say better things. The food was delicious from the cocktail hour to the late night snacks. The drinks were flowing, the there was a great selection in the standard menu that came with the wedding pricing. The weather helped the beach ceremony go without a flaw.

Alan Held did the staging as well as singing with heroic splendor. Joanna Parisi is a spinto to watch, rich in voice and beauty, the dream Brünnhilde. All this in a small (if glamorous) venue, with an orchestra as diverse as the audience - and almost as large! It was an evening to remember. We cant wait for more ambitious undertakings from this imaginative producer,...

Great event venue. I have been here many times photographing events here. The staff are always great. The design of the building is really good, lots of curves and details without wasting space. Very unique space, lots of odd shaped windows.

The elevator from parking/ street level is really slow and kept breaking down, the last time I was there. But engineering came over very quickly to reset the elevator.

A lady almost fell into the water feature by the entrance. It's not very well separated from the walkway, especially around sunset, it looks like a glass walkway, maybe more/brighter...
