The Banyan Pavilion at R.F. Orchids Reviews

R.F. Orchids was a great find! It is a little cozy jewel in the middle of Homestead. I cannot wait to have my wedding there. The people are so friendly, accommodating. I love the atmosphere.

As a former event planner from NYC I wanted a total Miami feel for my wedding. RF Orchid surpassed all my expectations. Michael described it as God’s artwork and that’s exactly what it is. Moment after moment of beauty. The ceremony space. The reception space. The bridal cottage and the backyard are all breathtaking. The pictures are phenomenal and all my guests were blown away by the natural beauty. Even the photographers were in awe. Amazing opportunities for lifetime pictures. So added to this amazing space is Joann Parns. She is the on site event coordinator. She is a total treasure box. Professional kind hard working and loving what she does. Having a wedding happen successfully is a small miracle. Joann is the miracle worker. Absolutely fabulous team to plan with. I had a wonderful wedding. My guests loved everything. Thank You to RF ORCHID

This venue is beautiful. I had been looking at various venues but as soon as I saw R.F. Orchids I knew this was it. It's elegant, tropical, serene. It's set up for large weddings as well as small. There is a beautiful gazebo, waterfalls flowing into a pond with koi, & gorgeous, exotic orchids everywhere, making this a perfect setting for a beautiful wedding. There are many beautiful areas for taking pictures in this lush, tropical setting.
The event Director, JoAnn Parns, is a true professional & such a delight to work with. We ordered our wedding bouquet & groom's flowers from R.F. Orchids. They were gorgeous & added to the beauty of our wedding.
Many heartfelt thanks to JoAnn & her staff for helping to make our wedding so beautiful & joyous. I highly recommend this venue!

My flowers were absolutely wonderful! My meeting with them was great,I left a fabric swatch with them and my flowers matched it perfectly! When we stopped by to make a second payment and drop things off my Dad and I couldn't get enough of the place so he took a few family members to see when they came into town. The staff was very nice and less than a month before the wedding we had some family emergencies and had to change things and they didn't ask "Why?" they just made the arrangements and they gave us amazing prices.
The flowers were stunning and we were charged an amazing price for what they did for us.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! You have to see it for yourself because words are not enough to describe it! My daughter and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with JoAnn Parns, the event Director at R.F. Orchids, she was extremely professional and provided excellent quality service, not to mention that she is one of the nicest person you will ever meet. She and the entire place went above and beyond to make sure that my daughter had a beautiful wedding! They treated us like family, we couldn’t be happier with the results! Everything was so beautiful! We received so many compliments from our guest about the venue and how well everything was coordinated. We can’t thank enough JoAnn and everyone at R.F. Orchids for making our day truly amazing! I definitely recommend this venue and if I had to rate it from 1 to 10, I give it a 20!

Beautiful outdoor venue. The owners were flexible and super helpful. Mike even helped me get beautiful flowers for the event at wholesale price with the booking of the venue. Specifically, the event director, Joann Parns, was amazing. She was so kind and personable. She helped me from beginning to end. On the night of, she was there the entire time. She helped me with setup, moving tables, cleaning up, keeping the servers on task, and so much more. She never stopped moving. I don't know what I would have done without her! For the price, the venue was amazing and so many of my guests fell in love with it. This place is a hidden gem. The only issue I had was that the venue came with tables and chairs, and the staff was asked to set them out according to the layout I gave them, but when I arrived this was not the case. I spent a good amount of my setup time moving tables around which was frustrating. Just emphasize that the tables should be set out the way you want them on the day of your event to avoid that issue and you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll love this place and so will your guests!
