Great place to have a wedding, Food was great. I had 'family style' and it was such a hit with my guests. The atmosphere at the hotel is so warm and inviting and we all had a great time!

My husband and I cannot even begin to say how happy we are that we chose the Don Vicente for our wedding. Both the ceremony and reception were beautifully done. We knew we loved it, and our guests only confirmed it, saying again and again how great it was. Tessa and Conchetta are terrific to work with. Right from the very first planning stages, they put us at ease with their qualifications, experience, and competence. They are also just friendly, fun, good people! The charm, history, and beauty of The Don Vicente cannot be underestimated. My husband and I considered many places - country clubs, big hotels, etc., and none of them matched the warm intimacy of the Don Vicente. And the food, prepared by the Chef Trish is absolutely exquisite - so much better then the typical fare served at most weddings. The people, the service, and the facility at the Don Vicente are truly wonderful! Thank you for an amazing wedding weekend! Aly & Rob McLaughlin

We had a wonderful experience with the Don Vicente. It is a great venue for a wedding of 100 people or less. The food is great, and the venue is very unique for Florida. It has a lot of old world charm. Because the place is so small, there are pros and cons with that. The pro's are they keep their prices down and you can get a great value for a quality event. The cons are because the are small they do not have staff like your traditional event planners. They ask that you have a planner there that day. We hired someone we knew to help us as our "planner" for the day and it worked out GREAT. People raved about the location. The team at the Don Vicente is really flexible and laid back. If you are a type A bride, you might struggle with how laid back their approach is. For me, it was right up my alley. Also, this place photographs SO WELL. Our photos are amazing. If you are looking for a smaller, unique wedding - you should check this place out.

Picture perfect place. I loved the look, and feel of the hotel. Its stunning, I would do it all over again, however i had issuses with communication time and time again, But everything went smooth, just need work on communication and profressionalism. Still loved my wedding.

Beautiful venue in a great setting! We wanted (a) a place with some history and charm, (b) somewhere where our out-of-town guests could feel at home and walk to nearby bars, restaurants, etc., and (c) an affordable price. The Don Vicente Inn, Ybor City, was perfect. Our classic vintage theme worked perfectly, our guests had a blast, and the event didn't break the bank. Tessa and Damon are very nice, although it did help a great deal to have a wedding planner assist us with details. We held an evening ceremony in the lobby area, with an all-dessert/cocktail reception in the event/bar area. An after-party was held in their "speak-easy" style basement bar. I have no doubt our pictures will come out fabulously, which were taken inside and out on the streets of Ybor. I would highly recommend this venue if you have a wedding planner to assist you.

I can’t say enough about Don Vicente and the staff. We had our ceremony and reception there. We also had our guests stay at the hotel after the wedding. I have spent months searching for venue that had classy and vintage feel but was also very accommodating and warm. I am probably one of the pickiest people when it comes to food, but food here was amazing! Their Chef Trish is a magician! For our chicken course we wanted them to duplicate Chicken Bryan from Carabbas and were little worried about it. We were so surprised at the outcome! Chicken tasted better than at Carabbas and portions were much bigger!! Steaks were juicy and we have received so many compliments on the food from appetizers down to signature drink! What makes this place so amazing, besides its wonderful décor and aesthetics, is truly its staff. Our families and friends traveled from out-of-state and many flew in from other countries and they couldn’t stop talking how wonderful Don Vicente staff was from the moment of checking-in all the way through wedding and up until the check out. Everyone felt like family. Tessa is exceptional and a true professional, her staff is amazing, polite and most importantly courteous. I will be forever indebted to them for making my wedding absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t have changed one thing! If you want your wedding guests treated like royalty, Don Vicente is your number one choice in Tampa!

Our experience could not have been better at the Don Vicente! Tessa and Conchetta were great to work with and we would recommend anyone to have their wedding or any event there!

They provided Reception only.

Spare yourself the regret of booking your wedding event here!! It is a shame because building is beautiful; however, it is run by a bunch of drunks and circus clowns. They do not provide the services they agree upon. The staff and so called “wedding coordinator” (Tessa) are absolutely unorganized and unprofessional. As far as the food, it is not worth the money. If you do not want your most memorable day ruined, then do NOT book here!! It is not worth the spoiled memories or money! Many local vendors will also tell you how unorganized this place is.

I emailed them to have my wedding there and it took them almost two weeks to reply. Then, I just heard from my friends that she had booked there to have her wedding ceremony, and they booked another wedding overtop of hers. The owners daughter Tessa decided to book a wedding overtop there wedding, and was extremely rude to them and didn't want to help them in anyway. My friends were really excited to have their wedding there, and now the are having to find another place to do their wedding, because the Don Vicente Inn lacks professionalisim and proper scheduling.

Amazing venue to host a small, intimate wedding. The Don Vicente is beautiful, classy, and magical. I highly recommend hosting your wedding at this facility. It is extremely affordable, and you can make the ceremony as simple or elaborate as you would like. I could not be happier!

Great place! Great people! We all had great time! Friends and family are still talking about our wedding. Food was very delicious.Staff was friendly. Tessa was very nice and helpful. We love the place!

We had a great time. Everything was easy to coordinate and well done. The food was very good. All of our needs were met. If we ever get married again we'd do it at the Don Vicente!

The costs were reasonable. They did an excellent job setting up the reception area. They set up all the table cloths, napkins, menus, even my wedding cake. The bartender was great! They are a really friendly staff and very flexible. Everyone that came to my wedding loved the venue. It is a very elegant and unique place.

The Don Vicente staff was a pleasure to work with in planning my wedding. They were friendly, professional, accommodating, and had obviously worked on many weddings and special events. The location is beautiful and particularly well-suited for a small to mid-size wedding (up to 100 guests). We really appreciated the convenience of having our family and close friends stay at the Don Vicente. The only complaint we heard was noise at night, but that is probably to be expected given the Ybor City location.

You dream of the perfect wedding and thanks to everyone at the Don Vicente that is exactly what we had. Every little detail was given attention. We could not have asked for a more perfect day! Thank you all so much!!
