We had our wedding reception at the rec center January 21 and it was beautiful. We did have some uplighting, which really helped give that formal feel. But the room is great, it is simple and ready to be decorated for any type of occasion. We didn't use chair covers, the white folding chairs were a good fit for our beach formal wedding. The staff was great, extremely helpful and friendly.

Awesome venue for a wedding. The staff was very helpful with all of our questions and needs.

Awesome venue and place to get married! The view is beautiful and beach like without the beach traffic in the background. The room is white and beautiful ready for you to decorate with whatever you desire! Marty was awesome to talk to with room set up and he definitely was a pleasure to work with!

We saw pictures of the venue and just loved it. We booked it before we ever say it in person. It's just beatiful right on the water. We had our ceremony on the little grassy area, and our cocktail hour on the deck. The deck it just wonderful, and a lot of our guest spent time out there. The reception was inside and the room is the perfect size and a nice blank canvas.

Wonderful facility and great views. Perfect value.

The rec center was perfect for a beach wedding, without having to be in the sand. It looks plain and simple, but once it was all done up, it was a beautiful location. The many windows with views of the water add a special touch. The deck out back, is perfect for a cocktail hour. Even though it was Spring Break time, parking worked out great, and was not an issue for the guest. The staff at the rec center sets up all of the tables and chairs, and the price of the venue can not be beat! You can bring in all of your own vendors, which is great, since many places have specific caterers you must use. Overall, a beautiful location.

If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor location for your wedding and you are on a tight budget, this is your place!!! My wedding planner recommended the location and when I saw it in person, I was sold. We held both our ceremony and reception here and it turned out stunningly beautiful. We had the ceremony under the oak tree overlooking the water and the weather was superb. I can't stop looking at the pictures. The setting was just breathtaking. The reception site is great as well. Since it is all white inside, it's like a blank slate. Take your vision and run with it and you can make it look like anything your heart desires! They were very easy to work with. Best of all, they set up and tear down the tables and chairs for your at no extra charge. You don't have to worry about paying to rent tables and chairs either. It's all included!

Dan and his assistant at Clearwater Recreation Center were amazing. They clearly explained to us how to reserve the location. The fee was affordable and the setup was excellent. Arranging the wedding from long distance poses several difficulties but using vendors such as Clearwater Recreation Center who are responsive and attentive makes the process that much easier. Definitely a recommended location for those who are looking to have a wedding in Clearwater, FL.

If you are looking for an affordable venue that can seat close to 200 guest than Clearwater Recreation Center is the best place. We chose this location because of location and affordability. For the location and price you can take your savings and decorate the venue yourself or hire a decorator.

We are so pleased with how everything turned out that we would recommend this venue to anyone who has to pay for their own wedding or would like to pay for their own wedding. The venue has minimal restrictions and allows you to provide your own caterer and provide your own alcohol for your wedding or event.

They have held many weddings/events and will assist you through your planning. Dan who was assisting us was very pleasant and professional. We live in Denver, CO and corresponded with Dan from a far, along with our DJ, Grant Hemond and associates and our wonderful photographer, Melissa Lauren from Melissa Lauren Images.

We are very pleased with how our day turned out and the pictures from the venue look amazing!

Wonderful job on all of the food. The staff was timely, professional and couldn't be better. Thank you so much!
