Beautiful Venue

The Bayanihan Arts and Events Center was the perfect wedding venue for us - it has a beautiful ballroom and large dance floor which we loved! Vivian was a great manager to work with, she was easy to communicate with and was very thorough on making sure all the details were in order. We couldn’t ask for more perfect venue for our special day and an awesome team to make it all happen!

Vivian was awesome. The venue turned out to be beautiful. They offered a military discount to my husband and I that we were very grateful for. Vivian was very patient with my husband who had no clue about planning a wedding but knew I needed his help because I was deployed. Thank you Vivian. Everything was perfect

My husband and I absolutely loved the service provided by the Bayanihan!!!! We originally worked with Mr. Rudy Batista who was so nice, friendly and personable, then Joel and Liberty were taking care of our needs and helping us with arrangements. The price was so reasonable we couldn't say no and didn't want to go anywhere else. The decorations were beautiful and all of our family and friends were still complimenting us months later on how amazing everything turned out like a fairy tale. The wedding was perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Tampa is such a beautiful place to have your wedding and the Bayanihan Arts and Events Center is their best kept secret. Thanks again for making our wedding special and memorable!!

With Kind Regards,
Jermaine & Claudette Johnson

Joel and his team did an AMAZING and WONDERFUL job on my weddding. At first, I was really worried as there was another event happening at the venue right before my ceremony and reception. I was assured that everything will be done timely. They were able to do everything on time all the way to the tiny details, from chairs to center pieces to lights and dance floor! Joel was able to accommodate all my requests, even adjusting the front stage where the ceremony was to be held. The venue was extremely gorgeous and it was everything I had dreamed of for my wedding! Thank you so much for making the best day of my life memorable and truly unforgettable! I wouldn’t have it anywhere else! :)

My best friend's wedding turned out amazing thanks to the staff at Bayanihan Arts and Events Center!! Everything ran smoothly and they were very accommodating despite our late ceremony start. They were able to turn everything around quickly and on time! Joel and his team made sure everything flowed smoothly and kept the guests happy! The prices were very reasonable and the catering was delicious. I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone in the Tampa Bay Area!

Amazing! Joel helped so much and was there anytime you need him. They really went over and beyond to make my wedding look amazing. It looked like a Million dollar wedding.

Bayanihan Arts and Events is a beautiful venue worth every penny you spend on it. The teams works with you to ensure all your needs are met in a timely fashion. Best of all, it's one of the few venues that allow you to use any vendor you like. They're very flexible!!!

Excellent venue for a first class affair!

A beautiful venue with endless possibilities for your event! There is a lovely baby grand piano in the lobby area - perfect for creating an atmosphere of elegance as your guests arrive. The lobby area can be closed off from the ballroom, and the outdoor fountain and garden is a lovely area for photos. Because the ballroom can be closed off from the lobby, it would be possible to host the entire wedding here - from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. I love playing here because the piano is right in the center of the lobby!
