    Location of our dreams

    Being Tampa natives and frequently being at armature works enjoying summer evenings and walks around the river walk - Armature works was from the jump first on our list! Samantha and her team were nothing but a dream to work with and although we did get rained in on the rooftop I still have no complaints of our special day!!

    Rescheduled COVID wedding

    June 13, 2020 was the date scheduled for my son's wedding. When COVID happened, we quickly realized that with 90% of our guests coming from out of town, many from the NY/NJ area that we would need to reschedule. We spoke with Sarah Elwood, who quickly helped us to change our date to Nov. 7th. At the beginning of the summer as things went down hill, we decided that a small wedding with the immediate family who were in the area would be best. We saw on Armature's website that they were now offering small wedding options. We called Sarah and rescheduled for a 3rd time to August 28th! Well the 3rd time was the charm! We were able to have the wedding and reception all in 1 room. We still had a great meal by Puff n Stuff, and had a wonderful DJ from Inpulse! Sarah was fantastic to work with, and even though we weren't able to have our extend family and friends, it was a beautiful and memorable event! Thank you Sarah and Armature Works!

    Thank you Armature Works!

    Cannot recommend Armature Works enough!

    This was the first vendor we booked. The second we saw the venue we were in love and knew it was the right choice for us. Being in the wedding industry, I had very particular taste and wanted something unlike the typical ballroom or beach. Armature works is modern, well kept, and offers amazing additions with audio visual and upgraded linens. Our venue coordinator, Rachel, was extremely helpful and responsive with all of my questions. She ensured everything we had discussed was executed flawlessly. Thank you for calming my nerves and taking over, allowing for me to be the bride for once!

    Great, Beautiful Venue!

    We held our reception in the Gathering Room at Armature and it was absolutely perfect! The exposed brick and chandeliers have so much character. The outdoor courtyard for cocktail hour was so much fun! The staff at armature works were also amazing and great to work with. They were flexible and quick to respond along the way. Highly recommend.

    Gorgeous venue!

    We are so glad that we chose Armature Works as our wedding venue. The brick of the building combined with the interior decor made for a perfect backdrop. We love that we were able to customize our own vendors but also not have to select every little detail as AW handled all of the tables, chairs, linens, bar, and made the catering choices easy.

    Best wedding venue

    My husband and I got married at this beautiful venue and we wouldn’t change a thing about it. The venue is absolutely amazing. With decor or not, it’s still breathtaking. It was a great spot for our wedding. We had so many comments from all of our guests on how great of a place it was. We had the pleasure of working with several of their staff members but mainly Devon. She was a quick responder and a sweet person. She truly helped make our transition into wedding planning mode so much easier. She worked great with all of our vendors as well! So glad we chose this awesome place! 🤗

    AW was amazing!

    If you’re on the fence, hire Armature Works! We worked with Amy and she was absolutely amazing. The venue was flexible with us during COVID and we were still able to have the perfect wedding. Everything looked flawless and the spaces are so beautiful.

    Beautiful venue!

    We had an awesome experience working with Armature Works. The venue is absolutely stunning for anyone who likes an industrial look! They do have a list of preferred caterers, but that almost makes the planning process easier because you know it’s good food! I had planned over a year ago to be in one of their indoor event spaces, but because of COVID we ended up moving our wedding to their outdoor location, Rooftop 220, overlooking the river which may have been even better! The guests were raving about the view! We had a seamless transition updating to new wedding plans and I could not be more thankful for their help! We had an incredible wedding here and would highly recommend this venue! We love visiting AW all time for dates nights, too, so it’s great that we get to come back here to relive the memories.

    Perfect Wedding Day!

    If you are looking for an outdoor wedding with a great view! The Rooftop 220 is perfect! Everything is so organized from beginning to end! We worked with Brittany. She was there to answer any questions or help us with any changes we needed to make along the way. Thank you so much!

    Wedding photographer/videographers review

    I have had the pleasure to capture two weddings at Armature works on they both were a blast! The staff was very friendly and were constantly accommodating my couple whenever they had a request. For those the love the downtown vibe and desire that for their wedding I highly recommend this venue location! The very cool modern brick aesthetic makes for really cool backdrops for photos and video as well!

    The Perfect Venue!

    Armature Works is such a beautiful venue and there’s definitely a “cool” factor that you don’t get at a lot of other places. We loved that every part of our wedding could be held onsite, but in different locations to give a change of scenery. We had our ceremony in the Social Hall, cocktail hour in the Courtyard, and reception in the Theatre upstairs. And there’s so many other beautiful spots on site to take advantage of with photos! We worked with Olivia as our Venue Coordinator, and she was fantastic! She was so easy to work with and helped answer every little question that we had pop up through the planning process. During our wedding weekend, she also went out of her way to accommodate some of our requests, such as letting our wedding party see the reception space during our rehearsal, and allowing us to do our first look in the Rooftop 220 space. The other Armature Works staff that were there on the day of our wedding were all so friendly and really made our wedding an enjoyable experience for us and our guests!

    The best venue ever!!

    Armature Works was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. They were hands on throughout the whole process! We initially met with Amy who put together our contract and then worked with Brittany to plan the big day. I just can't say enough about these two ladies. They were absolutely amazing! Their communication was timely and they paid attention to every detail to make sure our daughter's wedding was perfect. I hope our other daughter wants to get married there when that time comes!! Thank you Armature Works!!

    Beautiful location beyond words

    Armature Works and Rooftop 220 were breathtaking and beautiful locations for our wedding. We had our ceremony at Rooftop 220 with the Hillsborough River as our back drop. GORGEOUS! And some of my favorite photos are also there with the Tampa skyline in the background. We headed to Armature Works for our reception and the room was gorgeous! I loved this venue because I didn't have to go crazy with details and decorating. The room provided all the decor (brick exposure, lighting, tables, chairs) that I needed - included in the package price! I would do it all over again at this venue if I could. Such a beautiful area with lots of scenic spots for pictures.

    The perfect venue!

    Olivia was a dream to work with. We booked them as our ceremony and reception venue before construction on the property was even complete, which can be nerve racking, but our team was so amazing they took the nerves out of the process completely! It poured rain on our wedding day, so we weren't able to utilize the courtyard for cocktail hour like we hoped but the social room ended up being a beautiful backup space. Armature Works seriously has it all. The property is amazing as is but it's still growing and we were even able to use one of the amazing restaurants inside as our rehearsal brunch location. I highly recommend hiring AW as your venue!

    Fairytale location

    Nothing short of amazing! We worked with Olivia and she was highly responsive and accommodating. We met with Olivia on several occasions to go over everything and make sure the staff was aware how we wanted the day to flow. I loved that AW took care of F&B, had staff to escort guests and handled chairs, tables, etc. The space is beautiful and hardly needs to be decorated. We toured 10 venues and AW out bet everyone on pricing. We booked before the space was finished and we are so happy we took the chance - it turned out beautiful!

    Perfect Venue

    I wanted a venue by the water, without sand, and not your traditional ballroom. Armature Works was perfect. We received so many compliments on our venue and the team was a pleasure to work with. Brittany Silva was responsive and always helpful. If I could do it all over again, I would get married at Armature Works a million times! Make sure you book in advance as this place is popular!

    Our wedding was a dream at Armature Works

    We had a great experience working with the Armature Works to plan our wedding & it turned out perfect. The packages make the planning less complex and gives you more time to enjoy the tastings and picking out the fun stuff, like food and colors. Everyone we worked with was courteous and professional, understood how crazy wedding planning can be and made us feel like they genuinely wanted to make our event a success. Communication was timely & professional. Coordination with other vendors was seamless. And on the day of, everything went without a hitch. And if there was a hitch, us and our guests didn't notice. The Rooftop 220 space provided a gorgeous view and the "Theatre" room was a perfect fit for our 97 person reception. Thank you, Armature Works, for the beautiful space and fantastic wedding day.

    Great, unique event space!

    LOVE this venue. I'm a local wedding photographer as well and had my own wedding here. Brittany was super helpful from the very beginning. It's also such a beautiful space (Theater). We had both our ceremony and reception in the theater space. Also in such a great location in Tampa heights near downtown Tampa, especially if you have guests coming from out of town. Highly recommend Armature Works if you're looking for a unique event space!

    Now that it's built and operational, Armature Works will be the most premier wedding venue in Tampa. My wedding was absolutely perfect and the staff at AW and Puff in Stuff were so helpful. My guests had an amazing time and the room was so beautiful. There is nothing like it in Tampa. I will add photos once I have the professional ones.

    We could not have asked for a more unique and beautiful wedding venue! We've received many comments on how cool the place was and how it was the perfect space for our wedding! Olivia was wonderful to work with! We definitely had a lot of questions for her, as we signed our contract prior to the venue opening, and she was super responsive and also very helpful! We can honestly say, I wedding was simply perfect and AW was a big part of that!

    Our March 24, 2018 wedding at Armature Works was perfect! We are so thankful for everyone who helped make our wedding day so memorable and special! It was risky agreeing to have a March 2018 wedding in May 2017 when the venue was no where near complete. We are so thankful we trusted and believed it would all work out because it truly did! The venue was so unique and the people were so genuine. Thank you Armature Works! We will be forever grateful for you!

    Beautiful Venue with Exceptional Team Members!

    I was one fo the first 10 brides or so to get married at Armature Works back in early 2018.I didn't want a traditional ballroom or hotel for my reception and just loved the vibes and history behind the event space. I actually booked the venue without seeing the completed space yet (they had barely broken ground) but felt completely comfortable doing so because of their knowledgeable, professional staff. Even then, I knew they would be able to execute the vision I had for my big day and boy was I right. Everything was exactly how I envisioned it and executed flawlessly. To this day, I still get compliments on how gorgeous my wedding event space was. If you are interested in booking this venue, do so soon, as they are extremely popular and for good reason!

    Please do not let the negative reviews steer you away. My January 2018 wedding was everything I could have asked for and more. The AW team was amazing from start to finish. Yes, the venue did cancel events due to incomplete construction, however they were always upfront and honest with me through the entire process, and I chose to keep my event there.

    My 170 guest wedding was held in the gathering hall and it was absolutely beautiful. The wood floors, exposed brick, and added touch of new and old is exactly what I was looking for. There was enough space for a dance floor plus room in between tables for walking so no one was cramped. The cocktail hour in the social room was outstanding. I was able to create two of my own signature drinks which were widely popular. The lighting package was amazing as well, the uplighting created such a fun atmosphere in the room, and when the dancing started it felt like a totally different space. I added the two XL screens to my package last minute and it made a huge difference. I was able to have my monogram projected and the screens changed along with the music (totally worth it!)

    All of the staff at Armature Works were accessible and easy to talk to. Ashley and Olivia were a dream to work with.

    Despite being worried that the venue wouldn't finish in time, everything was absolutely perfect and I'm glad I went with Armature Works! I will upload photos when I get them back from the photographer!

    We rented the 220 Rooftop Space for our smaller wedding. So we didn’t get canceled, like many of the weddings in their larger venue. Ours went on as planned fortunately and I just wanted to say that Ashely and Olivia were amazing. They were extremely helpful. I changed my mind on things I wanted/didn’t want about 57 times in the months leading up to the wedding and they worked with me on all of it. They let me tour the venue twice beforehand so I could get decoration ideas. They always replied to my questions, they were extremely helpful and patient during my rehearsal. And someone in the building (probably Olivia) even went above and beyond and helped my fiancé set up the entire venue before the wedding since he was running a bit late. We weren’t planning on their help with that so my fiancé said it was a lifesaver that they jumped in and helped. Thank you AW!!! It was BEAUTIFUL!
