Perfect wedding venue
From the very beginning, we were met with warmth, professionalism, and an incredible level of detail. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful—elegant, well-kept, and the perfect setting for such a meaningful day. The reception in the Athena Room was stunning, creating a beautiful and memorable atmosphere for our family and friends. Every detail contributed to a celebration that felt truly special.
What stood out most to me was the incredible leadership at the resort. Maria Savakis Touloumis was an excellent director, and we truly appreciated her guidance, patience, and attention to keeping us on schedule. Her calm and organized approach gave us so much confidence throughout the entire process. The quality and presentation of food at the rehearsal dinner and reception was amazing as well!
Their attention to detail and reassuring presence made all the difference—not just for my daughter, but for our entire family. They handled every aspect of the day with such care, from coordinating vendors to keeping the timeline on track, all while making sure the bride and groom could simply enjoy their moment.
As a parent, you hope everything goes perfectly for your child on their wedding day, and thanks to this team, it truly did. Any concerns I had were quickly eased, and I felt confident throughout the entire process that we were in capable and caring hands.
I am so grateful for the role they played in making my daughter’s wedding day so beautiful and stress-free. It was everything we hoped for and more, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Safety Harbor Resort and Spa on Tampa Bay to anyone looking to create a truly special celebration.
This place was amazing!
The hotel is beautiful both inside and out, and the bridal suite was a perfect space for my bridesmaids and I to get ready together. The staff were all wonderful—kind, professional, and very attentive to our needs. Overall, it was the perfect place to celebrate such a special day, and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning a special occasion.
Everyone loved this place!
I live in the area and pretty much looked at every popular venue in Pinellas County and this was the obvious choice and we have zero regrets!
Excellent Wedding Coordination
Maria and Safety Harbor Resort & Spa for the win!
She did a superb job choreographing everything so the event was absolutely first class.
Safety Harbor is a delightful resort for a wedding event as I was comfortable, well fed and thoroughly enjoyed my stay on this magnificent property.
I highly recommend Maria and Safety Harbor Resort & Spa if you are looking for a first class vendor team.

They are well organized, always have a backup plan (FL weather), and always make their brides a priority. Their ballrooms and outdoor spaces are equally gorgeous every time we put our flowers in an event there! Easy to work with!
