The Woman’s Club is a world win of rich history and enchanting charm.. The venue itself is an amazing legacy in its own right.. There is a beautiful piano and a wide open space for a banquet event or a social cocktail social. The property is located with an outside porch that sets the mood for easygoing memories to recapture a captivating experience. Which on the property is gated and a body of flowers, flying butterflies and seductive eccentric beauty makes the tenderness of the garden a pleasant and enriching to the spirit of any event!” ~CIGAR MIAMI

Great spot for any occasion. The air conditioning is almost non existent. U will perspire buckets in this sweat box.

The building itself was historic and beautiful which is what drew us there in the first place. When we began working with JoAnn for scheduling, our hopes got progressively more dim. This is to say nothing negative about the character of the staff, but only to suggest they seek an intern to handle appointments, possibly a part time staff member, or someone retired with a business background looking to make a little extra cash to assist in event coordinating. I made payment and my date was not reserved and I was scheduled over having to wait for someone who was sitting on my date to be moved, I was not forwarded receipts of my payment which I was told I would be, misinformation was given about the park rental and I had to report to the Director of Parks for the city how the sale was being advertised, the email listed on the website I was told I wasnt getting a response from because it was old, and the number noted on the site does not allow for voicemail. There is no professionalism so though the price was appealing, keep in mind you get what you pay for. I would have spent thousands snd thousands more if I knew it was between coming out of pocket for the wedding reception of my dreams or not having one at all. We had to cancel due to testing positive for Covid-19 and though we are in a state of emergency, our deposit was completely swallowed. With a request for medical documentation, if provided, the payment should have at bare minimum been refunded 50%. I got my park payment back, but if you rent it do it through the city, as even getting that small amount was delayed and the only response regarding the check not being sent with appropriate timing was that theyre trying to hold the club together during Covid. If the pandemic is an excuse to hold money for services not rendered then it should have also been a legitimate concern when hosting a large group event where the clients did test positive the week of the reception and a refund should have been given. My assumption is the club is running off of swallowed deposits and avoiding the responsibility of hosting. If you know someone on the inside then you may have better luck with communication, but if you are an outsider to this organization this is not the place for you. The stress that comes with being a bride should not be added onto, your big day should not be put in jeopardy because this organization lacks in business and customer service skills.

Run the other way. Wish I had read some of the reviews before booking this venue for my wedding. They are very dishonest. Bad experience.

Nice venue. My brother in law held his wedding reception there. Floridas an armpit so it was good in spite of the dank humidity and nasty mosquito problem.

Best host for an event in Fort Lauderdale; the club has been around for decades and is a refurbished landmark in Fort Lauderdale. Home-style catering makes it unforgettable. Joann is a lovely host.

I HAD MY WEDDING THEIR ON 6-25-2016 AND HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $178.00 FOR THE CITY TO MAKE THE HOMELESS PEOPLE LEAVE AT A CERTAIN TIME FOR THE CEREMONY AND I SWEAR I HAD AN ADDITIONAL 100 GUEST OUTSIDE MY CEREMONY. THEN ON TOP OF THAT I SEE THAT THEY LIKE TO KEEP PEOPLE SECURITY DEPOSITS I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY DO NOT GET THERE DEPOSIT BACK SMH WELL I AM ONE ADDED TO THE LIST. I WILL NEVER USE THERE SERVICES AGAIN...SORRY

I attended the social mixer for this organization and was amazed at how much they do for the community. I am proud to say I am getting involved with the many committees they have and look forward to all their upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

What arrogance it must take to think that a public park is the Womans Clubs personal back yard. The classic case of NIMBY. Not in My back yard. The only problem is Stranahan park isnt your back yard. Stranahan park is a public park. So kind and compassionate!FYI, they deleted the reviews section on their facebook page.

I can relate to what kissy harris went through cuz same thing happened to us. I also had my wedding there july 2nd 2016, Thats the WORST PLACE to go to and do business, theyll make false accusations just so they wont give you your deposit back, and the worst case is there was an invoice i requested to have i spoke to white old ugly lady name JoAnn smith she told me on the phone she would send it immediately to my email, well guess what ever since she havent been picking up my calls or my text 1 time she even had somebody else pick up her phone asking what i want and they hung up on me.. If u want to get your deposit back and get good customer service go to a more sincere place rather then this place they the worst around wouldnt recommend it to anyone!!
