Mindfulness Retreat

We've consistently used this venue for our all-day mindfulness retreat for the last several years. It is always a beautiful space to bring a sense of mindfulness to our participants. We love the outdoor space right on the water. They work with us to accommodate everything we need, even down to the smallest detail of the temperature inside the building throughout the day. We cannot speak highly enough of this place!

The venue was amazing and the owner was a pleasure to work with would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married.

If you want to be able to customize your wedding to your taste (caterer, decor, etc) and have the versatility of a beautiful outdoor venue and yet a covered lanai and indoor venue for the reception. We had a beautiful wedding, and the photographer was able to capture amazing photos as well.

Amber's help throughout the process, her attentiveness to detail gave me an peace of mind during my wedding. If I'm in need of a venue in the future this will be my top choice.

Perfect Venue we made our own!

As soon as we saw Davis Islands Garden Club we knew it was where we wanted to get married. We loved that we could bring in our own vendors, the flexibility of having a beautiful outdoor venue, a place inside to eat, and even a large porch where we set up our dance floor. It was a perfect location close to downtown Tampa were most of our friends and family stayed. I would highly recommend DIGC to anyone looking for a venue!

Hidden Gem!

Davis Island Garden Club is a hidden gem and we are so glad we found it! Great location on Davis Island next to the water and has a beautiful collection of flowers and plants that made all our wedding pictures look great. If you are looking for a DIY venue, this is it! Amber was very kind giving us a tour and sending us information when needed.

Davis Islands Garden Club is by far one of our favorite venues to work at. It offers both an amazing indoor as well as outdoor space. The outdoor space features mature trees and beautiful landscaping with a view of the water. There is a path that leads to a beautiful gazebo that is a great for a ceremony backdrop. The outdoor space is absolutely ideal for the type of lighting that we provide, and the options for decorating are endless. The indoor space is a blank canvas that can be customized to your style and vision. The venue coordinator, Michelle, is extremely helpful and is great to work with. Tampa Lights highly recommends that you check out the Davis Islands Garden Club when searching for your wedding or event venue!
