Curtiss Mansion — Attraction in Miami Springs

This review is for both The Curtiss Mansion and Javi (our wedding month & day of coordinator). My now husband and I had our wedding reception at The Curtiss Mansion in February of this year and this review is long overdue!

We had our reception at The Curtiss Mansion, and it was THE PERFECT VENUE for us. My husband and I planned our wedding from Houston and we did one trip to Miami to tour wedding venues. Honestly speaking, we had a list of venues to tour and The Curtiss Mansion was not at our top. HOWEVER, once we saw the venue in person, we fell in love. The photos DO NOT to this property any justice. AT ALL. It is GORGEOUS! Also, the space is so incredible! We had a cigar roller, separate dance floor space from dinner, a coffee cart, a photobooth, ETC & it was not crammed at all.

So, in addition to planning our wedding long-distance, we got married in 6 MONTHS from our engagement!!! Essentially, we planned our wedding 5 months from choosing our venue and signing our contract. Needless to say, we could not have done all of this without our AMAZING wedding coordinator, Javi. He works with the venue and there is no one else better for the job than he is.

If you're even thinking about hiring Javi as your wedding coordinator—do it. Seriously. From the start, he was incredibly responsive (like, lightning-fast replies), super organized, and had the calm, collected energy every couple needs during wedding planning. Javi made the most of the space and worked seamlessly with the venue staff and our vendors to bring everything together. He has a TIGHT relationship with the vendors and it SHOWS.

On the day of our wedding, we didn’t have to think about a single thing. Javi was everywhere without ever being in the way—managing the timeline, keeping everything flowing, and making sure we actually got to enjoy the night (which is harder than it sounds at your own wedding!).The whole night felt effortless—because he was handling everything behind the scenes like a total pro.

Bottom line: Javi is a wedding day MVP. He’s thoughtful, detail-oriented, genuinely kind, and truly passionate about what he does. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding and not spend the day stressing about logistics, hire Javi. You will not regret it.

& please do yourself a favor and tour The Curtiss Mansion if it's anywhere near your radar. It's such a unique venue and all of our guests raved about it.

Oh! ALSO. If you are concerned about the potential airplane noise like I was, DON'T BE. We didn't notice one plane fly...

Curtiss Mansion is a dream come true and made our wedding the wedding of our dreams. Every time I hear their name I get goosebumps because of our amazing wedding we had there. From the day we entered the mansion and met with Sherri and Javi we knew we found the perfect place to get married. It is homey, gorgeous, so unique, professional, and every detail of the venue is pristine and thought out. Their staff thinks of everything for your day and planning process from not being seen during the ceremony, to making sure the grass is perfect. The venue is indescribable and ALL of our guests said this was the best venue, coolest place and the best weddings they have been to. The venue is so beautiful on it's own that it doesn't need much decor but our wedding was able to be elevated so much with the Mansion as the background. We wanted a unique venue and this was not only unique but truly beautiful with a beautiful history in Miami.

Their are so many options for where to do what with your layout and the staff walks you through everything and all of the changes. I am extremely detailed oriented and their staff was so helpful and patient with me during the entire planning process. There is so much to worry about when having a wedding but the venue is most important and from day one, we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING having to do with our wedding venue which was a wonderful feeling. We got married three weeks ago and I can't believe how PERFECT our day was.

All of the staff at the mansion is so spectacular. Every vendor we hired solidified that with how they say the Curtiss Mansion and their staff is top notch and so easy to work with. It's all true! They go above and beyond.

We also hired Javi after meeting him through our tour and WE LOVE HIM! He is a work horse and will make you feel like you are the only couple he is working with and his top priority. Our family loved him, and you want a wedding coordinator who will calm your nerves that day. Javi was able to use all his resources and knowledge to problem solve and keep everything run smoothly and he IS SO MUCH fun to be around. Javi made our day perfect at the Curtiss Mansion.

Thank you Curtiss Mansion and Mansion Team for giving us the wedding of our dreams and best day...

I got married at the Curtiss Mansion on 11/4/23 and all throughout the night I couldn't stop turning to my friends and family to say, "Everyone should get married here!"

To begin, the team there is phenomenal. Javi, Ale, Alex, Kayla, Sherry, and the rest of the staff made sure that my husband and I had the most magical night of our lives. They treated me like I was family from the beginning of the planning process to the end, going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we could relax and enjoy the evening. I felt like I was working with a highly trained Secret Service of sorts:

-They used walkie talkies and ear pieces to communicate with each other throughout the night. -They anticipated our needs before we had them (making sure we ate first, bringing us drinks, holding my dress, escorting me, etc.). -They changed light bulbs, mopped up spills as they happened, ran to get cups when my caterer ran out, etc. This team made sure the event ran smoothly and resolved problems that weren't even their fault quickly! At the end of the night, Javi personally delivered some leftovers from the venue to our APARTMENT which was not expected but much appreciated.

The venue itself is also gorgeous. It stands out from its peers through its Mission Revival architecture, and it boasts many different rooms, cool furniture, and breathtaking ceremony sites throughout the property. There isn't a lot you have to do in terms of decor/rentals/florals because it's just that beautiful. But you have to see it for yourself to appreciate the beauty. The photos I'm attaching (some professional, some from phone cameras) don't even begin to do it justice.

Finally, this is one of the only outdoor venues (if not THE only venue) in Miami that allows you to keep the party going until 1am. My husband and I really wanted to have a long wedding and dance the night away, and this venue had no issue with that. They allow you to pay for extra hours and move you into a spacious indoor room at 11pm to get around the noise ordinance. It was exactly what we wanted.

I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married. I have only positive things to say about the Curtiss Mansion and its amazing staff who make people happy...
