We discovered the brand new Ferguson Law Center on the campus of Stetson Law School in Downtown Tampa, via a client who had booked their wedding there for March of 2009. Although the Cohen Ballroom stays busy during the week for Hillsborough Bar Association events, (the association operates the building), it is virtually a HIDDEN TREASURE for couples planning an elegant wedding and reception for up to 150 guests. Not only is the building spacious and modern, it has remained clean and well-maintained throughout its two year history thanks to the watchful eyes of Manager, Laurie, and Maintenance Pro, Al, the center. With all of its luxurious appointments, it will remind you of a first class hotel or resort gathering space. The building lies securely inside the gated Stetson complex just a minute on and off the I-275 Downtown Exit. There is plenty of parking on weekends and evenings. The open lobby offers socializing space for a cocktail hour OR a great location for a ceremony. (There's even a beautiful staircase for the bride to make a dramatic entrance from the second floor bride's suite). Smaller ceremonies may utilize the adjoining conference room. The lavish custom wood bar room will truly impress your guests. High top dark wood tables and low lighting create a trendy location for the serving of YOUR alcohol with approved bar serving (liability insurance). Your guests will think you spent a fortune on providing an open bar for them! The Cohen Ballroom can be split into two smaller rooms. Fully carpeted and equipped with dimmer lights, the ballroom features stunning wood trimmed window treatments and enough space to seat up to 160 guests at 72" round guest tables with padded ballroom chairs. Bring your slide show or video. A state-of the-art sound and video system and THREE pull down screens throughout the room offers everyone a great view. The only extra item you may want to consider adding is a wood dance floor. A well-equipped kitchen offers heating and cooking equipment for your caterer. For the reasonable price, beautiful decor,generous set-up time, and excellent service, the Ferguson Law Center is well worth considering for your wedding day.
