Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club

As soon as my fiancé and I saw the wedding packages at Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club we were set on having our wedding there. They have a big staff to ensure everything was done with excellence with minimal stress on wedding day. I went into wedding planning knowing I was not a DIY type of bride and needed a pretty inclusive venue. This venue was more than a place to have a wedding, they were the caterers, coordinators, bartenders, decorators, and connected us to a DJ. They also have a hotel attached which the family and bridal party was able to stay in. The rooms were huge and perfect for our needs. The bridal suite easily slept all of the bridesmaids and had plenty of room for setting up for hair/makeup the day of. Some guests did have trouble booking rooms and communication was lost, but I believe it was mostly due to the hotel being closed and having minimal staff during Florida shut down. Laura, at the front desk made sure to make it all right and get everyone who needed a room a room. She was very easy to communicate with and made things smooth.

We planned most of our wedding in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic which did cause some issues. There was turnover with the coordinator three times during the ten months of planning my wedding with them which caused some frustration, but I could not say enough good things about the current events coordinator, Gemma Craig. She was organized and kind and went above and beyond to make sure the rehearsal dinner and wedding was perfect. She communicated frequently and answered every question. She did an amazing job stepping into the role in a pandemic and making sure our wedding was better than we even dreamed. My husband and I also had an amazing experience at our tasting and loved everything we tried. The chef is amazing and the Food and Beverage Director, Jeff was incredibly helpful and personable making it a great vendor to work with. Even the bartender, Tom, made sure everyone had what they needed at the rehearsal dinner and reception. The catering director, Liz ran the show at the reception and had everything flowing.

The staff as a whole bent over backwards to make sure we had a safe, healthy, and fun wedding in the midst of a pandemic. They opened up spaces, put less people to a table, and served food following all CDC guidelines. I highly suggest this venue for your wedding! It will be gorgeous and staffed with the best of the best.
