October 19, 2022 we had a group of about 90 ppl who came together for a night of fun, drinks, pizza, dancing and fellowship w a karaoke event in Doral.
Nicole and Gus helped me get all the arrangements underway and stayed in communication w me about the plans and took my 'last minute changes' like champs!
Located about 20 minutes north of Miami--- without traffic!-- the venue itself was not hard to find and is in a really nice shopping/entertainment complex. Brightly lit w a nice, suburban feel.
Entering the venue, the room we reserved, The Rum Room, was directly by the entrance.
This made for a few interesting moments when random locals just came in and bellied up to the bar! We're a fun group but they soon realized they were in a private event!
The room was nicely appointed w tropical feeling decor and wonderfully spacious w seating for about 75 (if you're friendly) at the bar, on a wall bench and several tables. We also had our own private bar and waitstaff.
The management staff and front desk staff on duty were very helpful-- I apologize for forgetting your names but I'll always remember the MOD's forearm tattoo!-- they got us set up w arrangements for the phases of food delivery and introduction to the KARAFUN karaoke app King's uses.
Even w a little tweaking of the sound and mid stream glitches, the karaoke app was fun and fairly easy to use-- although, to be fair, the DJ *sucked...
It was me-- the DJ was ME!
The pizza package we chose was great-- offering gluten free and veggie options- and the other appetizers and food ordered was reported to be good and fairly reasonably priced.
We have a lot of partiers so our bartending/waitstaff was kept pretty busy w their JUGS of drinks.
First time there and it was WONDERFUL but, my only changes would be, if planning for karaoke w a group
1. Have your singers finalize their songs (and an alternate);a day or so before the event.
2. As the host/DJ, arrive about an hour and a half early to get familiar w the KARAFUN app and load your singers and songs. DJing is a LOT and I didn't get to do all the socializing I wanted but I DID get a live mic-- so🤷🏽♀️
Thanks so much for such a great experience, Kings Dining and Entertainment of Doral, FL!
If we port out of Miami again, we're DEFINITELY going to visit you again!
