This venue is beautiful and accommodating. Up to 20 guests can stay at the venue. We booked it for 2 nights. We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at GRIR the night before our wedding and stayed overnight again after the wedding. We had the most beautiful 360 degree sunsets both nights. The weather was perfect. We were allowed to have our dogs in our ceremony. Everything worked out great. Mike the owner did a fantastic job with vendor suggestions. He’s very professional and helpful.

My husband and I got married in November 2024, and we were honored to be the first official wedding at this incredible venue. I can't recommend it enough! It’s the perfect one-stop shop for everything you need, from photography and makeup to decor, linens, coordination, and the convenience of hosting both your ceremony and reception in one place. Dana was absolutely amazing. Even though I know a lot about weddings, once it’s your own, it’s like all that knowledge flies out the window! Dana was there every step of the way, reassuring me that she had everything under control. She made sure all of our vendors were in sync and knew exactly where they needed to be. Thanks to her, the day went as smoothly as any wedding possibly could. I received nothing but positive reviews from our guests! The only small challenge we faced was that the getting-ready suites are on the smaller side, so we opted to get ready at a nearby Airbnb. But with a large wedding party and a fully booked venue, everything still went perfectly. The bridal suite is beautifully decorated and truly feels like every bride’s dream. If I had fewer bridesmaids, I would have definitely gotten ready there! I love barn weddings, but I didn’t want the ceremony to feel too country, and this venue was just perfect. The ceremony area is simple in the best way, and the reception space is a charming, modern barn. The venue and staff exceeded all our expectations, making the day stress-free and allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

I really am speechless when it comes to the Powel Crosley. I am so incredibly thankful we hosted our destination wedding here with them. I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.

Thankfully, Hayley and the team at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club reached out a compassionate hand and not only accommodated us last-minute, but made our wedding day even more perfect than we could have imagined. Their communication was incredibly thorough, as they discussed every detail with us, even more so than our previous venue.

We cannot stop raving about the venue and staff at the Sarasota Art Museum! From the Director to the volunteers, everyone was so friendly, helpful, and hard working. This occurred from our initial consultation and fact-finding inquiries and visits. This continued through the planning and implementation process of our event! Never did I ever imagine how smooth everything would go. Laura always provided the details and clarification of anything that I may have missed or just needed additional information on and the security staff worked efficiently to make sure we were able to store necessary items in a safe location for before and after our event. Carolyn and her kitchen/catering staff with Constellations Catering Group were phenomenal! We do not say this lightly! Carolyn was super communicative and at any point and time was able to be reached quickly when needed. I have never met a friendlier more down to earth person while still making sure that the business needs are still addressed professionally and promptly. THANK YOU CAROLYN! From A to Z, the food and service were superb and on point. The Kitchen and catering staff are highly recommended. They catered to our every need and the food is the best that I have ever experienced in my 30 years of attending business and personal events. We continue to get raving compliments from our guests about the wonderful service and simply delicious food that we enjoyed during our event on 04/20/2024! Thank you again to the entire Team!

I can't say enough amazing things about Isla Del Sol YCC. I was looking for a private beach venue but what we found was so much more. Not only is the ceremony location perfect, with a private marina beach, a gazebo alter and paved walkway, but we also chose to add on a post-ceremony private sailboat ride. This unique experience gave my husband and I the opportunity to soak in the moment just the two of us, and provided the most stunning backdrop for photos. The reception space is equally perfect with 180degree views of the bay and enough room for two bars, a buffet (if you choose buffet style dinner) and dance floor large enough for your entire party to dance the night away. In addition to the location itself, IDSYCC's staff is unmatched. Melissa, the events director, was part of the reason we were so drawn to this venue. She is a master in her field. Melissa is insanely knowledgeable about all things wedding and was there every step of the way to answer all of our questions and provide support. The caring and professional nature we experienced with Melissa didn't stop there. Every single staff member from the servers, to the bartenders, and even the security guards took the best care of us on our special day. Its really amazing IDSYCC isn't just a wedding venue because they have perfected the art of creating the most amazing wedding. Oh and the food is delicious!! Book this venue...it'll be the best choice you make :)

I am a Tampa Bay Event Planner that has had the pleasure of working at the Vinoy Resort with over a decade of celebrations held here! I thoroughly enjoy working at this property as they have always had a wide selection of locations to hold each event. We appreciate The Vinoy’s dedication to always offering a luxury experience for anyone hosting or attending an event at their property. They have recently brought their hotel to the next level with some incredible renovations that have exceeded my expectations in every capacity. The renovations have made this already sought after location, much more appealing. When reviewing venue options for an event, our client’s vision is always kept in mind when looking at the spaces. One of our favorite updates to the Vinoy was their ballroom renovations that now offer a cleaner look with more neutral colors becoming the base of the design. This created an atmosphere where any decor could be selected creating a cohesive look within the space, making it easier for us as well as our clients to visualize their dream day here. We believe that updates such as these are important as they keep up with the times while also providing a sustainable development for the future, with each detail they selected throughout the renovation. We look forward to many more events being held here at the beautiful Vinoy Resort, and we hope you get to experience the beauty of this property as well!

Ryan & I knew we wanted a beach wedding, but where? My husband had been to St. Pete Beach one other time for a work event, so that’s how we settled with the beach. Picking the venue seemed like a daunting task all the way from Nebraska, but once we found Tradewinds and met Hannah, their wedding coordinator, we knew instantly. We flew down one time before our wedding, so I really trusted Hannah and our planner and they knocked it out of the park. The hotel room was perfect size for my wedding party and I to get ready and with the natural light from the beautiful room views our makeup artist was in heaven! The guys spent the day enjoying an amazing lunch at the Flying Bridge, playing mini-putt and hanging out at the lobby bar while they waited. The photo backdrops you can find around the property made for magical wedding photos. Our ceremony was on the beach and the set up was perfect! The reception was in the courtyard and it was the best spot. We go visit the courtyard each time we come back to visit! The food was 10/10! I wish they had a restaurant on their property that served the same food that was served that night because we would eat there constantly! Their chef is truly so skilled! You don’t hear many people talk about wedding food, but 2 1/2 years later and our guests still rave about it; specifically the corn chowder! Yum! I really can’t thank Hannah, Tradewinds, and our planner enough. I didn’t feel an ounce of stress planning our wedding because of them. Tradewinds has really become our home away from home and it is all because of the amazing work they did for the biggest day of our life!

I liked that we had the flexibility to create our vision. One of my favorite things was the lighting. Our family and friends enjoyed taking photos at night in the courtyard out back. We had a lot of guests compliment the beauty of the venue itself as well as Winthrop Town Centre. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The preferred vendors on their list were great to work with.

Hotel Alba hosted my wedding reception on 10/10/20 and we had an amazing experience. The hotel is beautiful and has a very unique design and feel. It was a great taste of Tampa for our friends and family who were visiting from out of town. Even better than the hotel itself were the office and event staff. Everyone we interacted with, from the GM to the bartenders, were helpful and accommodating. I cannot say enough nice things about the event manager, Kristina. I hired a day-of coordinator from an outside company and had a very bad experience, but Kristina went above an beyond to handle everything we needed. Kristina helped us manage reception items (gifts, party favors, signage, etc.), coordinated with vendors, and even handled some last minute meal changes we had from some of our guests. Finally, the food and food service were excellent. A few months before the wedding, the event staff coordinated a tasting with the chef for my husband and I. Chef prepared a delicious tasting and helped us make our final food and wine choices. At the reception, we received endless compliments from our guests on the filet and mahi mahi. If I was to start over right now and plan another wedding, I would go right back to Hotel Alba.

We recently got married at the Tampa Edition and the entire process was wonderful. We had our ceremony on the garden terrace and our reception in the ballroom. From our first tour to tastings to planning calls, we received white glove service. The wedding weekend was incredible - every detail was covered and our guests felt so special. The space turned out to be so beautiful and the food was INCREDIBLE!! ALL of the staff (valet, room service, front desk, servers, bar tenders etc) were so professional and accommodating.

My husband and I had our first date at Armature Works so we thought it would be amazing to also get married there. The team at Armature was incredible. They were very upfront about any costs and fees, and they were willing to work with us to make adjustments in order to get pricing within our budget. We worked with Rachel throughout our wedding planning process and she was fantastic. She responded quickly to our emails and was able to answer any and all questions. Between she and our wedding planner (Erika O'Brien) we were able to enter our wedding weekend with ease and very little stress. The location itself was absolutely beautiful and we were able to turn our spaces into our dream wedding.

When looking for a wedding venue, me and my now wife wanted a location that would be a fun and unique experience, and ZooTampa more than delivered. From the first meeting with their event staff, they were able to walk us around the venue and paint a picture of all the possible ways ZooTampa can host a wedding. We were very impressed with all of the amenities provided by the venue. The outdoor and indoor areas ZooTampa offered were perfect for the ceremony and reception. One of the highlights was the cocktail hour, which was located next to the Giraffe habitat. Our guests were delighted to see one of the Zoo's Giraffe's out during this part of the wedding. The food that was provided by the Zoo catering team was fantastic. We had Ribeye, Chicken parmesan, and Mushroom ravioli on our menu and the staff was able to accommodate to any dietary requests. Lastly, the ZooTampa staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on our special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with the Marriott, we have had the best experience. We worked with Jenna, the sales manager, a lot and she was also so responsive and helpful with anything we needed. I honestly was not stressed the week of the wedding because I felt like she was so helpful and trusted her to make sure all of my requests were met. She even came to our welcome reception to greet our guests and hand them drink tickets. A few weeks before the wedding, we met Dan, the banquet coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic and so helpful in helping us envision our room set up. He stayed the day before our wedding to set up the room early and it was flawless. He stood at the door of our reception when guests arrived to help direct them to their seats. His hard work and dedication to what he does was truly evident. I feel that Jenna and Dan truly went above and beyond to ensure we had our dream wedding. Joanna was also very helpful with our wedding room block as she is very responsive and quickly assisted with anyone hotel room needs for either my guests or myself. All of the hotel staff including front desk, valet, bartenders, servers etc were also amazing throughout our stay. We got SO many compliments from our guests about how welcoming, friendly, and helpful all the Marriott staff was. Even the maids were amazing and so warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived at the Marriott for our wedding weekend, we were greeted by Wilmer, who was beyond helpful is unloading our car and transferring multiple items into our hotel room and he was present throughout the weekend to assist us with any other needs we had. Also, Rick and Ricardo were amazing bartenders, super friends, accommodating and truly helped to make our wedding into a full weekend event full of fun and everlasting memories. All in all I could not have asked for a better weekend with the support of the Marriott!! I would recommend this group to anyone and hope to be back to visit again soon!
