Our Story

Ten years of celebrations,
a new home on the water

Vignette Lakeside is the new home of the team behind Vignette Gardens — ten years of Miami events and celebrations, now on the water at Royal Palm Estate in Cutler Bay.

The property is 44 acres wrapped around a 26-acre private lake: a lakeside ceremony pergola, a floating deck, lawns made for golden hour, and a covered reception space steps from the water. Think of us as your venue team — your planners guide you through the whole process, and we always have your best interest in mind.

You can trust us to be there every step of the way.

Every Event Type

Every celebration, one estate

The lake hosts far more than weddings. Pick your celebration to see the estate dressed for it — and to start your pricing.

Each celebration below has its own look and its own pricing flow. The all-inclusive package priced further down this page is our wedding package; for every other event, the flow on its section starts the number and we finish it with you — nothing invented, nothing padded.

Weddings

The wedding, on the water

Ceremony on the floating deck or before the lakeside pergola, cocktail hour as the lake fountain fires up, dinner under the string lights — the whole day inside one private, gated estate, with a bridal suite and a groom suite to start it in.

  • One all-inclusive package — catering, premium open bar, wedding cake, staff and rentals
  • Up to 300 guests across the grounds, open-air — packages priced by your count, the full ladder is further down this page
  • Setup from 9 AM, your celebration runs to 11 PM
  • Your planners, with you from tour to last dance

Quinceañeras

Her night, in blush & gold

The gates open, she comes down the drive and through the lantern-lit pergola for the grand entrance — then the waltz by the lake, the court of honor, and a head table dressed in her colors with the throne chair waiting.

  • The grand entrance — gates, palm-lined drive, pergola walk
  • The waltz and the court of honor, staged by the water
  • Head table and throne chair dressed in her palette
  • Room for the whole family — the estate holds up to 300 across the grounds

Birthday Parties

Birthdays, beach-side

For the kids, the party takes the sand: real bounce houses on the beach side of the lake, picnic tables in their theme, cake under the palms. For the milestones — 30, 40, 50 — the same estate turns grown-up at golden hour, with dinner on the lawn under the string lights.

  • Kids' setup on the beach — bounce houses, games, picnic & dessert tables
  • Their theme, their colors — the tables dress to match
  • Milestone dinners for the big birthdays, same estate, evening light
  • Shade, suites and room to run — up to 300 guests across the grounds

Corporate Events

The company, out of the office

Retreats, launches, holiday parties and client nights — a stage and screen on the lawn for the keynote, cocktails on the floating deck, dinner as the lights come up over the lake. Private and gated: for the day, the whole estate is yours.

  • Stage & screen set on the lawn for presentations
  • Cocktail reception on the floating deck
  • Catering and the premium bar, run by the house team
  • Gated and private — no other event shares your day

Baby Showers

Soft light, shaded lawns

A shower under the pergola and the palms: tables in blush and cream, a dessert and gift table styled in her palette, lawn games if you want them, and the lake doing the decorating. Bridal showers take the same setup — just say the word.

  • The pergola — shaded through the afternoon
  • Dessert & gift table styled in your palette
  • Seated lunch or cocktail-style — your call
  • Bridal showers welcome in the same setup

Follow the Transformation

The estate, becoming

We're taking this property project by project — and the whole journey is public. Every improvement gets photographed before and after and filmed while it happens, the milestones land here as they're reached, and the list below always shows what's next. Follow along and watch the lake become what it's meant to be.

The front gate and palm-lined driveway at dusk — the first project of the transformation
The Journal · Entry No. 1

It starts at the front gate

Before a single thing changes, the whole estate gets photographed exactly as it stands — every project here starts with its "before." First up is the arrival itself: the front drive and motor court, repainted black, alongside a full round of repairs and cleanout across the grounds.

Nothing gets hidden. Repairs, plantings, cleanouts, builds — if it happens at the lake, it's filmed, and the before-and-after lands right here and on Instagram.

What's next on the list

1

Front drive & motor court

Phase one opens with the asphalt repainted black — the arrival sets the tone for everything after it.

Up first
2

Repairs & cleanout

The unglamorous work comes early: fixing, clearing and resetting the grounds, corner by corner — filmed as we go.

Up first
3

Cocktail-area landscaping

Phase two redoes the cocktail lawn with fresh turf and outdoor lighting — golden hour, upgraded.

4

The name at the gates

New signage brings the Vignette Lakeside name to the entrance — the first thing your guests will see.

5

Covered reception space

The biggest project on the list, and deliberately the last — saved until everything around it is done.

Later

Before

As we found it

Every corner is photographed before anyone touches it — no project starts without its "before."

During

The work, filmed

Repairs, plantings, cleanouts and builds are filmed while they happen, not staged once they're done.

After

The reveal

Each finished project gets its before-and-after pair — posted here in the journal and on Instagram the week it wraps.

Book a call and we will build it with you.

Set up can begin as early as 9 AM. The celebration runs 5–11 PM — ceremony 5–6, cocktail hour 6–7, and the reception from 7 to 11. Guests can arrive from 4:30 PM.

Your package can be split into up to 4 payments — the first at booking, the last one month before the big day. Payment and contract are both due at the time of booking; once we have both, your date is booked.
