Endorsements
"I love this venue! I like the fact that the couple can have the wedding on the water, and have their cocktail party and reception all in one place that is unique and private! "
"Tampa Bay Watch is the perfect place for a wedding and recepition. Beautiful Sunsets and sea breezes make this a remarkable spot. The weddings we have done here have always been both rememberable and fun."
"Confetti Events LOVES Tampa Bay Watch! Laura is amazing...she is incredibly accommodating, professional, and a pleasure to work with! What a beautiful venue!"
"A wonderfully Unique location to host your Wedding Reception... 90% of the view is all waterfront... Wrap around Deck for your guests to enjoy a beautiful Sunset...... Fort Desoto's closest Wedding Reception location. Very Well kept and worth every penny............"
"What a wonderful, unique location for your special day! Accommodating up to 120 guests at tables indoors, TBW, also can expand your guest seating with tables on the surrounding deck. For those of you with imagination, there's the amazing lawn to place tents and celebration seating facing the sunset on the Gulf. The enormous waterfront setting also offers plenty of space for a wedding ceremony facing the northwest corner of the property. Laura, the rental coordinator, is a joy to work with. She has great ideas and bends over backwards to make certain both vendors and clients get the most out of their TBW event. I highly recommend the location for a unique setting!"

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Tampa Bay Watch. I originally booked with a different coordinator there and when there was a personnel change, I have to admit I was a little nervous. I was so foolish to think that there would be any loss in quality or customer service because Laura McMurdock was the best! She had suggestions and tips that were extremely helpful and was always accessible should I need to speak to her. She suggested vendors that were amazing and even saved me hundreds of dollars on transportation costs alone! The night before at rehearsal, she even took over some tasks to help me set up for the reception (including running to the hardware store for something I forgot). As far as the venue goes, my wedding was on November 7, 2009 and the weather was perfect, the sunset beautiful and my guests could not stop talking about the view and location. This place spoke to me and my now husband and we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding and were on cloud nine on our day when it exceeding our expectations. My advice would be to take advantage of the classic Florida feel of the location and play up on its best features. You don't need to over do it at a place like this because the venue does all the talking for itself. We used the colors of the beach, left by boat instead of limo, had a steel drummer for cocktail hour on the beautiful lawn and ate dinner by sunset looking out the huge windows. I look forward to returning here year after year to visit and relive the memories. Thanks TBW!

We love the Tampa Bay Watch. We love that our money went towards funding a great organization that educates on environmental conservation and restoration. The natural surroundings are absolutely beautiful and can be enjoyed from their wrap-around deck...especially during the sunset. They are extremely flexible - You can create the wedding of your dreams without limitations...we did! Laura rocks! She is fantastic and VERY helpful. I contacted her several times for advice on vendors and she's full of ideas. She's also patient and always got right back to me. Our wedding at the Tampa Bay Watch was everything we wanted and more!

Laura at Bay Watch is spectacular! We could not have been happier with her! The venue is also gorgeous and the location was perfect!

Note: Time your ceremony for before sunset so you can get great pictures!

Tampa Bay Watch is a beautiful location for a weddding. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. They're flexible and are open to any ideas you have. The price is expensive but it is worth it for the beautiful location and view. And we loved the fact that all of the money goes to help a non-profit coastal restoration organization! During my wedding I was so glad that I chose TBW as my reception site, I could not have found a more perfect place for my seaside-themed wedding.

The Tampa Bay Watch is a beautiful venue to have a reception. The staff there, especially Laura, was extreamly helpful to us. They were responsive to all of our questions and promptly provided help for all of our problems, they even discovered a problem with one of our other vendors and informed us before the vendor themselves did. I highly recomend the Tampa Bay Watch to any couple thinking about having a wedding in the Tampa area. It is well worth the cost.
