Wedding of 2018
The Italian Club is an over-all wonderful, beautiful place to have any type of engagement. We first worked along with another individual, in which that person left. My Husband and myself was devastated, but Mark gave us full assurance that he would do the best that he could to accommodate us and make sure everything go as planned when we had first booked with the first individual. Mark was an awesome person to work with and accommodated us as he promised. Thank you Mark for all your hard work and open communication.

A spectacular night!
The Italian Club of Tampa is simply breathtaking from its historic structure to the elegance each floor provides. Mark Stanish played such a strong role in preparation to our wedding from start to finish. We spoke of our vision and he was able to help us fulfill it. He has able to provide highly professional vendors to be able to assist. Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with in efforts to making our night beautiful and memorable. We were able to hold our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It truly was a beautiful night we will always remember. We highly recommend this venue.

Choosing the Italian Club in Ybor for our wedding was the very first decision we made and definitely one of the best. It's a beautiful building with three unique floors in an incredibly lively and diverse neighborhood. The venue coordinator, Mark, is the best in the business. If you are looking for a venue that is timeless, accessible, glamorous, and reasonably-priced, you must consider The Italian Club.
