Top 5 Wedding Venues in Tampa

Updated: Sep 27

You're finally engaged and you've started looking for the perfect place to get married but you don't even know where to start. Well, we've got you covered! You've landed in the right corner of the internet. As Tampa wedding planners and coordinators we've worked at many different venues that can help make your special day unique. Whether you're looking for a beach vibe or a city vibe, here are our top wedding venues in Tampa.



Think "sophisticated date night at the museum," but instead of wandering hand-in-hand with awkward silences, you're saying "I do" surrounded by stunning artwork. Imagine exchanging vows bathed in natural light filtering through the museum's grand windows, with iconic paintings as your backdrop. Afterward, the museum's galleries can morph into a romantic reception space, where you and your fav people can clink glasses and celebrate your love story the right way. If you are into the artistic city vibes, the Tampa Museum of Art is calling your name. (We might be biased since Stephanie got married there)!


Vibe: Sophisticated, timeless, with a touch of "wow, we got married in a museum!"
