    Fantastic experience

    Brianna and Mary were there from start to finish to ensure our wedding went to plan . We ran into a couple challenges that were nothing to do with the venue but they quickly stepped up and helped us find a creative solution. Great team and perfect venue

    Amazing Reception Venue for 70 people

    The Historic Largo Feed Store was an amazing location to host our 70 person reception following our wedding ceremony. I recommend if you’re looking for something in the Largo or Tampa Bay Area. This place is seriously a hidden gem. Our decorations looked so nice in the museum, being covered floor to ceiling in cedar planks. Mary and her team made the process as stress free as possible and we are forever grateful for their efforts to make our day truly special.

    Meagan,
    It was a pleasure working with you and watching you transform our space to create the memories you and Michael will cherish for years to come. Thank you for the review!

    A fantastic venue!

    We love the Historic Largo Feed Center at the Central Park Performing Arts Center. We had both our Wedding Shower and our Baby Shower there and we had a great time for both. The venue is always neat and clean and has great indoor and outdoor areas for your guests and activities. The staff are super helpful and make sure that everything gets set up the way you like. If you’re looking for the venue for your next event you should make it this one.

    Nick & Mandi,

    Thank you for the wonderful review! We love having you celebrate with us and hope we'll see you again soon!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Mary and staff were beyond helpful with our wedding during these difficult times. Mary was amazing at being able to accommodate the things we needed or with any questions we had. The venue was excellent and set up perfectly according to our layout we provided. Mary and staff ensured our big day was perfect and it was! I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for a great, cheaper venue. It was perfect for about 100 people and easily could of accommodated more people. They are already linked up with multiple catering companies and DJ’s, etc., which we did use a few of their recommended vendors and they were also excellent! All in all this venue was excellent along with Mary and staff being more than helpful with any questions or concerns we had.

    The Parkview Room in the Central Park Performing Arts Center is a beautiful location for a wedding reception. Mary is very knowledgable and helpful in planning this very important event and offers suggestions and ideas on how to make it special in every way. We only had 83 guests so there was plenty of room for everyone to dance and visit with each other. Our guests were very impressed with the location as well as the staff. who went above and beyond.

    Mary was great, she worked with me when I had to change my date and then again when I had a vendor cancel last minute due to Hurricane Irma. I would highly recommend this venue for the service, the atmosphere, and the overall value.

    LOVED this location for our wedding! We had both our ceremony and reception here (in the Historic Feed Store and in the Park View Room) and everything was gorgeous. They were very accommodating, and EXTREMELY reasonably-priced!! The grounds are beautifully maintained (which is perfect for pictures) and the overall atmosphere was just what we were looking for. I highly recommend working with them for your wedding :)

    Mary was simply amazing. She was extremely valuable in my wedding and was willing to go above and beyond to help my husband and I.

    Anything we needed, if I had any questions, she was very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. I would recommend her in a heart beat. If I ever need anything in the future, I'll make sure I go to her with anything.

    I am so glad we choose this venue for our wedding. It was beautiful! And such a great price! Mary is such a great person and is so helpful with all the details you need to plan out the day! She helped so much with the big day itself and made sure everything worked out the way we wanted it to! They have recently redone the park view room as well which is simply gorgeous now! We had our ceremony in the park right outside the largo cultural center and they even helped our guests get to the reception site by offering shuttle rides! It was a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend having your wedding there! You can even get a discount at the Hampton Inn right across the street for yourselves and any out of town guests flying in!

    Amazing Day

    Mary and her team were absolutely wonderful. Our wedding was in April 2022 and it was everything we hoped for. The ceremony took place in the park near the fountain and the reception in the Parkview Room.

    The Central Park staff was easy to work with and very responsive to any questions I or my event coordinator had. Mary was on hand to assist with wedding rehearsal and was there during the ceremony keeping me informed on what was happening before my entrance.

    Alyshia,
    Thank you for the review! Our team had so much fun working with you. We wish you and John the best!

    Great! Ggggggggghghg

    Working with Mary was great! She let us in the day before to decorate, helped clean up the ceremony, and was a part of everything running smoothly! She had so many ideas to help with The layout of the reception and ceremony.
    Couple things though:
    She told our caterer that she couldn't drink (She was a friend of ours who worked with my husband. We wanted her to feel like a guest)
    Parking was pretty difficult. they're is always a lot going on there!
    A trashcan had just gotten put in the middle of our isle! Lol

    Best Decision

    We are so happy with our choice to have our wedding at the Historic Largo Feed Store in Largo Central Park. Donna, Mary, and their team were so accommodating and everything turned out beautifully! They were always quick to respond to any questions we had with simple solutions. We added an extra hour to our rented time and added a few things to make our day perfect. The day of went off without a hitch. Everyone was impressed with the space and had an amazing time. Thank you so much! We highly recommend!

    Mary was absolutely awesome to work with at this venue. She was helpful and knowledgeable. If she was not able to answer our questions right away, she always looked into the matter and answered as quickly as possible. She was very flexible and easy going which made the planning process with her much easier. The Parkview Room was perfect for our Christmas wedding. The room came with a decorated Christmas tree and the windows allowed guests to overlook the park with all of the lights set out which was beautiful. The park was very busy that night with other visitors at the park enjoying the lights, but that did not disturb our event at all. Mary went above and beyond to make sure that our event had special accommodations to deal with the extra traffic and crowded parking lots. The crowds had been a concern of ours before booking this venue, but our event really felt private and was not bothered by the park visitors. Overall, we loved the room and the staff at Largo Cultural Center and would definitely recommend this venue to other couples looking for a great venue without spending a fortune.

    My husband and I got married here last October and it was amazing. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful location. We also had our reception here. Mary was able to guide us through the entire process and while not always as responsive to our emails as we would have liked, she did have all the answers to our questions. She walked us through everything that we needed to do for the Cultural Center, outlined the costs, gave us what we needed for our other vendors, and was just generally super helpful during every interaction that we had.

    The cake from Lady M is always amazing. Unfortunately I ordered my cake too short of a notice, I ordered several and had them as deconstructed cakes. My guests loved it and were very excited to have lady M cake on top of the dessert provided by my wedding venue.

    Spacious and a Good Blank Slate for Decorations

    We used the Historic Largo Feed Store & Museum as the venue for our ceremony and reception. They have a nice pergola/outside area for the ceremony and a spacious large room for the reception, where we were able to fit 4 big tables, a buffet, a couple small tables for drinks/decorations, a bar (a service that they can provide), and a small dance floor. Very good for a small gathering overall (we had about 33 guests). There are some nice photo opportunities outside at the pergola as well as around the park, although you'll have walk/drive around for a bit for those. Renting the space was straightforward and simple, and although there was some miscommunication as far as adding an extra day for decorating, they provided compensation and adjusted well to giving us more time to get decorations in before the ceremony.

    This is a great place for a ceremony and reception. I had my wedding by the koi pond at Largo Central Park and had a runner, archway and rented chairs for a small additional fee. I also reserved the Parkview Room for my reception and it's a beautifully-laid out venue for many guests. They provide all the details so it minimizes the responsibilities the planner has to handle.

    Although the ceremony and reception venues are excellent, the correspondence with the planner may not be as efficient and timely as I anticipated.
