Best Venue Hands down
This is a hidden Gem. The views are breath taking and the ballroom is the perfect space for a wedding/baby shower or any other event. I was so excited that I had my event there. The price is very affordable.This is a hidden Gem. The views are breath taking and the ballroom is the perfect space for a wedding/baby shower or any other event.

Beautiful Venue & Views
I had my wedding at St. Pete Beach Community Center February 2020. This venue is incredible and highly underrated. I had toured 5+ venues before this one and couldn't pass up the views and the ability to bring in all your own rentals/food/etc. You have full flexibility to make it your own and bring your vision to life at a fraction of the cost. I would 100% recommend this venue to any future brides!I had my wedding at St. Pete Beach Community Center February 2020. This venue is incredible and highly underrated.

I'll admit I was apprehensive when we went to visit the SPBCC as a venue but upon arriving we were blown away. We had a church wedding so our cocktail hour was held outside where most people have their ceremony and then went to the room upstairs for the reception. During cocktail hours, there were dolphins in the bay - blowing away all of our guests who are mainly from the north. The views, even from upstairs were breathtaking. The room comfortably fit our 115 guests as well as an 8 piece band. The waitstaff was able to move around comfortably to serve dinner. The room got quite warm at one point with all the dancing but they were able to turn up the AC for us to make it cooler. With the money we saved from booking this venue, we were able to spend a little extra to bring in some nice decor to help liven the room. All of our vendors had no problem cooking, preparing, etc. in the venue.I'll admit I was apprehensive when we went to visit the SPBCC as a venue but upon arriving we were blown away.

Our wedding ceremony was downstairs on the intercostal which was perfect and exactly how I’d pictured and the Boca Ciega Ballroom was perfect for our wedding reception! It was absolutely beautiful and we had plenty of room for our guests. Stephanie was wonderful to work with as well. She was very responsive, reassuring and helpful! I would definitely recommend the St. Pete Beach Boca Ciega Ballroom if you want a beautiful scenery and spacious venue to accommodate your guests and vendors!Our wedding ceremony was downstairs on the intercostal which was perfect and exactly how I’d pictured and the Boca Ciega Ballroom was perfect for our wedding reception!

I am so glad that we booked the Boca Ciega ballroom for our wedding venue we had went to a few places before we found this one even though the other places were on the cheaper side I love this place more because of the parking that you didn’t have to pay for and the openness of the space and the fact that you didn’t have to share your venue space with the food set up, loved that we had the bar and cocktail hour on the wrap around balcony and just loved the ocean view perfect for the view of the ocean with out the sand for my formal none beach wedding ceremony, the faculty is well taken care of, the staff is always friendly and took care of us also provided us with vender suggestions and was always responsive with the emails for questions or concerns we had. I also loved this venue bc I’ve been to at least 5 weddings in the past year and everyone would do it at the clearwater Rec or another common place so I wanted to be different and do something no one else did and I’m glad we did everyone loved our wedding and now that our wedding is over with a lot of people are booking there weddings here thanks again for a beautiful location would definitely recommend St Pete Beach Community Center as a wedding venue !!!!!I am so glad that we booked the Boca Ciega ballroom for our wedding venue we had went to a few places before we found this one even though the other places were on the cheaper side I love this place more because of the parking that you didn’t have to pay for and the openness of the space and the fact that you didn’t have to share your venue space with the food set up, loved that we had the bar and cocktail hour on the wrap around balcony and just loved the ocean view perfect for the view of the ocean with out the sand for my formal none beach wedding ceremony, the faculty is well taken care of, the staff is always friendly and took care of us also provided us with vender suggestions and was always responsive with the emails for questions or concerns we had.

I got married at the Boca Ciega Ballroom on 4/30/17. The fact that is was a blank canvas allowed my vision to come alive. You can’t be the pricing and the view was spectacular for our outdoor ceremony. Having a “beach” themed wedding without dealing with sand made it a truly memorable moment.I got married at the Boca Ciega Ballroom on 4/30/17.

Boca Ciega Ballroom is worth every penny you spend. The views are amazing. Sunset is just gorgeous. The biggest selling point for us is that we were able to bring our own caterer and you can do serve own alcohol (as long as it isn't a cash bar). The venue supplies you with chairs and tables, which will save you money in renting.
Stephanie is very accommodating and will answer email or phone calls pretty quickly.
We didn't need the full 10 hours, but we had a blast. Our Alter broke and they helped to fix it. They went above and beyond to help us get setup. If you are nice to them, they will be nice to you!
The main rule is that if you want to use something you have to clean it up. They have a list of things not to do or use, but most of the things on the list are common sense. This is a great option for those on a tight budget. Go here!! Save money that you would spend somewhere else on your honeymoon.Boca Ciega Ballroom is worth every penny you spend.

Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very quick in getting back to me with any questions I had and made sure that everything was ready to go for our big day! The facility is a beautiful clean/neutral slate that overlooks Florida's inter-coastal waterway and is especially pretty to family/friends coming from out of town. Once we toured the Boca Ciega Ballroom, we instantly knew there was no other place that we wanted for our wedding reception! I highly recommend the Boca Ciega Ballroom in the St. Pete Beach Community Center for your wedding or celebration needs!!!Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with!

This was the PERFECT venue for our wedding reception. Stephanie was amazing from the beginning of the process all the way through the day of the wedding. I had issues the week of the wedding that needed to be solved and Stephanie was right there to guide me through the chaos. The location is beautiful and my out of town guests loved being right on the water. I could not believe that such a gorgeous venue would be so affordable! I definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married in the Saint Petersburg area.This was the PERFECT venue for our wedding reception.

We just had our daughter's wedding on 4/16/16.The place is AWESOME,GREAT VIEWS OF THE WATER.We cannot say enough,
beautiful and the price is right.Stephanie is the girl in charge and without her,we would have been lost.I think we went
out there once a month for the last year to check on things.She was like family,never acted like we were bothering her.
This past weekend,one week after the wedding,missing her,we were so used to going out there,poor Stephanie!!
This is a great venue,we looked at many,choose this,you will be so happy you did!We just had our daughter's wedding on 4/16/16.The place is AWESOME,GREAT VIEWS OF THE WATER.We cannot say enough,

We loved everything about this venue from the moment we went and toured it with Stephanie. She is delightful to work with and the venue has everything we were looking for - a water view without the sand, outdoor area for cocktail reception, lobby area for bar and other tables and a nice walkway for the sparkler send off. They also allow you to work with your own vendors which is a huge cost savings.We loved everything about this venue from the moment we went and toured it with Stephanie.
