Top Downtown Miami Gala Venues

Meetinghouse is a 5,000 square foot exhibition and event space in the penthouse of the 1920s Historic Huntington Building. Featuring double-height, 14-foot ceilings, original windows with exceptional views of Downtown Miami, polished concrete floors and a full kitchen. It can seat 350 people, 450 standing. ​Meetinghouse is an interdisciplinary artistic and cultural space located in the historic Huntington building in downtown Miami. Inspired by past artist cooperatives such as Roycroft, Bauhaus, and the Shakers, we were founded in 2014 to further the discovery, dialog and expression across disciplines.Our programming includes exhibitions, lectures, screenings, performances, and printed materials and catalogs, bringing together local, national and international artists and designers based on shared processes and concepts observed in their works. A current event being hosted is Retreat and Relocation: A Colloquium on Climate Migration. Artists described the event in this way: As the land shifts, quakes, and floods with increasing frequency, it is evident that current modes of adaptation and mitigation are increasingly short-lived. Given the reality of time-limited approaches, as well as eventual reductions in both geography and investment, the Colloquium will consider retreat as a viable spatial alternative, with consideration of what is needed for design and policy to accommodate this possibility. Understanding that engineering and design models have established a leading theme for the last decade of discussion and planning in relation to climate change responses across communities, this Colloquium seeks to expand this framework to engage in a discussion of retreat applying a community-based focus. A panel discussion will provide an introduction to global strategies and policy analysis, and a facilitated discussion will enable local leaders to discuss applications in their own communities. The goal of this gathering is to open avenues of collaboration to explore new opportunities to evaluate conditions and impacts, and develop proactive strategies for facilitating retreat. Meetinghouse also hosts pop up events. ​On August 19th, meetinghouse and Ground Control Miami activated a three-day pop-up shop to support future programming, as well as bringing some summer revenue to the participating artists. Their goal was to support the scene by collaborating with the local artists and to create the financial means to produce cutting-edge exhibitions, performances, and publications with no costs to the artists or audience.

Historic Virginia Key Beach Park occupies a singular place in Miami history. Established in 1945 as Miami-Dade County's only beach designated for Black residents during segregation, the park was closed in 1982 and sat dormant for more than two decades before a community-led restoration effort brought it back. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2002 and reopened in 2008 following a $30 million renovation, the park today serves as both a public destination and a working event venue on the shores of Biscayne Bay. The park offers a broad range of rentable settings — from intimate shaded pavilions seating up to 150 guests to expansive open-air areas accommodating festivals and concerts of several thousand. The colorful Chickee Village, beachfront spaces, and lawn areas each offer a distinct character suited to weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and community gatherings. The restored historic carousel and the park's natural mangrove landscape provide a backdrop that few South Florida venues can match. Outside vendors and catering are permitted. Events requiring permits — including alcohol service — are supported through the park's Special Events team, which coordinates the full permitting process with the City of Miami.

Novecento takes the old mantra “mi casa es su casa” (my home is your home) to another level. It is the best option for those looking for the casual elegant European style bistro, with Latin American influences. The number 900 represents the total of all of our parts. It's a kind of sign. It was an experience. It is a meeting room — a place where people may come together in a setting that is typically unusual, never medium, and always well done. A Sunday meal at home with the family may be as comfortable as Novecento; yet, it excels as a business lunch alternative with colleagues, a relaxed night out with your spouse, or a football match with the guys. Our affection for our visitors and for our cuisine has no bounds. Our roots go back a long way. After quickly establishing ourselves as a local institution after first opening our doors in 1991 in SoHo, New York, we expanded internationally, opening locations in the trendy Caitas neighborhood of Argentina, a summer seasonal restaurant in Punta Del Este, Uruguay, and a local favorite in Cordoba, Argentina, among other cities. This success prompted the establishment of other facilities in strategic areas of South Florida. It has been over three decades since we first introduced the basic components that have made us a fan favorite. Every day, we look after our team members, our visitors, and the people in our local community. When it comes to food, we feel that nothing beats the taste of something freshly prepared and produced from scratch. Our visitors are our neighbors, friends, and family, and we can't wait to have you back in our house again and again! Make every party more memorable than the last with our private event spaces. Whether celebrating a corporate function, a family milestone, a holiday gathering, rehearsal dinner or graduation — our private dining rooms offer the perfect space to eat, drink and be merry. Let us do the work! Our team will work with you before, during and after, to ensure that every detail is done and that your event is unforgettable.

I opened The River Oyster Bar fifteen years ago with the idea of creating a local bistro that serves high-quality oysters and seafood in a comfortable setting with friendly knowledgeable service. Till this day we go to great lengths, working with several purveyors, fishermen and farmers to source the finest sustainable, local when possible seafood available, we purchase only whole fresh fish and butcher in-house, this allows us to maintain the highest quality. Our oysters are flown in from all over the United States in many cases directly from the farm where they are raised in pristine waters, tagged with the harvest area and date to ensure the highest quality and safety. We continuously educate our staff so that they can speak to our guests about our cuisine, wine, and spirits in an informative manner. If oysters and seafood is not your thing, don’t fret, we put as much effort into our non-seafood cuisine. We are always looking for local foods, from farms in Homestead to Central and North Florida, whether it is grass-fed Florida beef, organic chickens, heirloom tomatoes and honey from Homestead, microgreens from Hollywood, local shrimp from Cape Canaveral and stone crabs from the Florida Keys, quality ingredients is what always takes precedence at The River Oyster Bar.
