We decided to have our wedding reception at The Fox in April and it was everything we had dreamed of and more. We had roughly 82 guests and had plenty of room for a 12 x 12 dance floor, a dj, catering, and live music. McKenna and the event coordinator Sanibel were wonderful to work with and Sanibel brought the design vision to life. The space is gorgeous as is, but with the extra wedding decor & florals from floral lab srq, it was like stepping into a coastal fairy garden! So many of our guests commented on how adorable this space is! 10/10

We had an AMAZING experience hosting our wedding at The Birchwood!! The team was responsive, thoughtful, and truly invested in making our day special. They answered all of our questions quickly and made the entire planning process feel smooth and even fun! One thing we especially appreciated was their help hitting our minimum. When we thought we might come in under, they worked with us to create a sommelier experience—on we highly recommend!! It was affordable and added such an elevated touch to the event, with a professional sommelier guiding guests through a variety of wines. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the night. We held both our ceremony and reception at The Birchwood, which made everything seamless. Our guests loved being able to stay on-site at the hotel, turning the wedding into a full weekend experience. It really made the celebration feel more intimate and special. Marlice was fantastic to work with, and Claire was incredibly helpful when it came to navigating our needs. Both of them went above and beyond, and we truly can’t say enough good things about their support and professionalism. We feel like they are family now! The food was outstanding, and the bar service was just as impressive. The team also worked with us to create signature cocktails, which added a fun and personal touch. During our planning process, they even updated the space with new chairs and carpeting, both of which we absolutely loved. It’s a beautiful, well-run venue with an amazing team behind it. We’re so grateful for the experience and can’t wait to come back again someday. We highly recommend it to anyone considering a wedding venue!

I cannot recommend the Beach House Waterfront Restaurant and the team from Beachside Hospitality enough. If there was a term for a "turnkey" wedding, this would be it. From Carley working with me to figure out if I needed the full deck to Shawn who kept everything rolling smoothly day of to their recommended vendors of Sandhill Photography, Say I Do on the Suncoast, and DJKenwa, everything was just perfect. I'm pretty sure every one of my guests told me how beautiful everything was. Food was great, service was attentive. I absolutely had my dream wedding day. If you're considering this venue, book it! You won't regret it.

As the mother of the bride, I can honestly say the team at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa on Tampa Bay made what can often be a busy and emotional time feel seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable. 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.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! After our original wedding venue unexpectedly fell through, we were scrambling to find a place that could accommodate us on very short notice. From the moment we reached out, the team went above and beyond to make everything work seamlessly. Not only were they incredibly responsive and accommodating, but they truly made us feel cared for during what could have been a very stressful time. Every detail was handled with professionalism, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm for making our wedding special. The hotel itself was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything came together even better than we could have imagined. What started as a last-minute change turned into an absolutely magical weekend that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to the entire staff for turning a difficult situation into such a joyful and unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional service and a truly memorable experience!

My husband and I loved having our wedding at the newly renovated Tampa Marriott Water Street! We really appreciated how accommodating and helpful they were throughout the process of postponing. Huge thank you to Brittany Erigo in particular, she was the one who helped us throughout the entire postponing process and she definitely helped ease a stressful situation. She was a pleasure to work with and also helped book my bridal shower at the JW Marriott across the street, which was also a huge success. As for our wedding, our ceremony was held right down the street at Sacred Heart Church so it was extremely convenient to get to and from the venue. Our room block was also held at the Tampa Marriott Water Street and all of our guests loved the rooms, the hotel and the fact that there was a lot to do nearby. My husband and I also had luxury suites booked for the weekend, we loved them as the suites are newly renovated and are very big so can accommodate a good number of people. Our cocktail hour was held in The Florida Ballroom Foyer, followed by our reception in The Florida Ballroom. All of our vendors and coordinators at the hotel worked together to make our special day the best day of our lives thus far. Our entire wedding day ran so smoothly from start to finish. My bridesmaids and I were able to get our hair and makeup done in one of the meeting rooms next to the ballroom, which was super helpful and accommodating so that our suite didn't get too messy. The ballroom ended up looking absolutely breathtaking (shout out to our amazing vendors) and all of the staff were so kind, professional, fun and helpful. Execution of the entire night was perfect. My husband and I had a dedicated staff just for ourselves the night of the wedding and it was a fantastic experience (Miriam was amazing). The food and drinks were also 10/10, everything tasted delicious. As our event manager, we worked with Jeni Wallace in the beginning but then began working with Christine Alejandro after the pandemic. Jeni & Christine were both always very kind and professional. I saw them both the night of our wedding and was able to thank them in person for everything they had done to ensure that our special day was everything and more. We were blessed to be able to have such a great experience working with the Marriott and truly wish we could relive our wedding day over and over again!

We booked TradeWinds completely blind and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Hannah was beyond helpful and was always quick to get back to me with any questions I had. The pricing and packages were all transparent from the beginning, so there were no surprises once everything was finalized. The catering staff, and the resort staff in general, were all so friendly and helpful. We received feedback from multiple guests saying the food was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. The resort itself is beautiful and there are so many options for venues/pictures, you can’t go wrong no matter where you pick!

Sunken Gardens was simply breathtaking—the perfect setting for our wedding day. From the moment we booked to our final walkthrough and rehearsal, the entire team was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and kind. They made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. We held our ceremony outdoors on the North Lawn, which was absolutely stunning, and our reception under the clear tent on the Wedding Lawn—such a dreamy setup that allowed the beauty of the gardens to shine through all evening. For cocktail hour, we hosted guests in the Oak Pavilion, where the birds made a special appearance—such a unique and unforgettable touch that everyone loved. The entire setting feels magical. Everywhere you turn is lush, vibrant, and picture-perfect. I still get chills thinking about how beautiful it all was and how special it felt to celebrate our day there. If you’re looking for a venue that feels like a hidden oasis and delivers an unforgettable experience, Sunken Gardens is truly unmatched.

As I've grown up going to AMI every summer, it's been my dream to have my wedding at The Sandbar. My dream finally came true and it did not disappoint. The Sandbar team was incredible - they truly understood my vision, were attentive to my requests/questions, and overall really cared about my experience. The wedding was everything I dreamed of and more - the food, incredible, the decorations, also incredible, and the team, the absolute best. Haley was my day-of coordinator and she was by my side every step of the way, making the day seamless and fun. I can't recommend this team and place enough. Thank you so so much for the perfect day!

I cannot recommend the Yacht Starship Tampa enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely flawless. Wendy in sales made our booking effortless, guiding us every step of the way with professionalism and a friendly touch. Eric, the wedding planner, was truly exceptional—he didn’t miss a single detail and made our dream wedding come alive in ways we couldn’t have imagined. The food was outstanding, with every dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. And the DJ kept the energy high all night, making sure the music flowed seamlessly and everyone stayed on the dance floor. From the impeccable service to the unforgettable atmosphere, Yacht Starship Tampa exceeded every expectation. It was a magical experience we will cherish forever!
