Vendor Master List: Venues
WAAAAAAAAIT!
You really want to go HERE instead. The below article is hard to sort through, so I made a MUCH better option.
This is a list of Florida wedding and events venues.
I’m constantly adding to it. My goal is to eventually have every single venue I’ve been to on here, and then to have commentary about each one.
Maybe even individual blogs for each one.

Nova 535
Easily my favorite venue so far. The atmosphere is great, they put a TON of thoughtful design into their floorplan, the staff is super helpful, and in general just a top-notch venue. Highly recommend, it’s in St. Pete.
I even offer a discount if you book them!
Rooftop 220
Cool part of Tampa, well maintained, amazing city/water view. It’s not super big so be sure to discuss party size.
Bella Cosa
I mean literally… LOOK at this picture!!! LOOK AT IT! You feel like you’re part of the mafia just walking in, the place is gorgeous and, oh, they also have suites on the second floor. No Uber needed.
CITIES:
Bradenton
Pier 22
If you want a pretty venue, away from traffic, by the sea, this is really one of the best you’ll find.
Palma Sola Botanical Park
A gorgeous nature preservation, events here always have a special vibe. Very accessible too.
Party Palace
It’s a phenomenal venue for little intimate celebrations! Birthdays and such.
Motorworks Brewing
This one’s a SUPER cool outdoor environment for events. I did a party for Texas Roadhouse’s regional party here!
IMG Academy Golf Club
Golf clubs are always a reliable bet for a clean location with great logistics like parking and seating.
Courtyard
(Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront) It’s a hotel, they’re always a nice safe bet.
Clearwater
Magic Dance Club
It’s a dance studio, but BOY does it doll up well! It’s a really pleasant environment for a lot of events. The owners are genuinely invested people who work with you on your ideas.
Rheba Sutton White Chapel
A very pleasant building in Palm Harbor, well maintained, cozy, and plenty of space for a dance floor.
The Event Hall
This is one of those “don’t judge a book by its cover” kind of places. The parking lot says “laundromat” and the interior says “big shots”. Very large floor space for creative arrangements.
Lakeland
Uliana Estate
This is definitely one of those beautiful setting venues, they had a very artistic eye when they designed the grounds.
Black Swan
They put a lot of effort into it, it holds a decent number of people, it’s accessible. Nice place, nice owners.
Magnolia Building
A really cool layout with lots of great photo spots, like the fireplace, balcony, and a few surrounding area sites.
Orlando
The Wedding Barn
In Oviedo, It’s definitely one of those rustic charms in an urban area experiences. Clean, well maintained, modern interior (rustic, just without the rust).
Rosen Shingle Creek
It may be a hotel venue, but this particular hotel is IMMENSE. This is a conference venue, very upscale, incredible service, great food… top tier, the best hotel venue so far.
Port Charlotte
Oaks of Devonaire
In Arcadia,it’s another one of those rustic experiences. Very pleasant atmosphere, far enough from the road and not a popular highway so you should be safe from traffic noises. Well maintained, big space.
Charlotte Park Civic Association
It’s a nice place, they maintain the building.
941-639-5090
Sarasota
The Venue @ LEC
Accessible, a great stage experience, and pleeenty of floor space. The sound system is great, please hire me for more events here, it’s very fun for me, lol!
Rose & Ivy
Marina Jack
Their event room overlooks the bay. It makes for a really cool view, and their food is phenomenal.
Cafe Gabbiano
A great spot for an intimate gathering. No dance floor to my knowledge, but nice environment.
Courtyard
(Courtyard Sarasota at University Town Center)
Hotel venue, it was nice.
Palm Aire
A country club venue.
St. Petersberg
Gulfport Casino/Ballroom
A large ballroom for events. It held a few hundred people for the New Years event I did.
St. Petersburg Yacht Club
As you might imagine, the Yacht Club does indeed maintain a gorgeous building.
Red Mesa Cantina
I’ve never seen a 3D tour on a venue website before, it’s pretty neat! Very cool vibe.
Crystal Bay Hotel
A well kept hotel space.
Hilton
(St. Petersburg Carillon Park) Like private clubs, hotels are always a safe bet for a wedding. Plus you can just go to bed without leaving! No need to an uber.
Tampa
Le Venue
Absolutely gorgeous interior, and easy layout for a journey from ceremony to reception or other creativity. In Brandon.
Woodmont Clubhouse
A pleasant little clubhouse for intimate gatherings.
The Westin Tampa Waterside
A hotel in Tampa, they have a couple really cool options though, not just your typical “events room”, they had this long space with windows and a bar I show here.
Center Place
(Fine Arts & Civic Association) in Brandon, it’s right next to a library and you’d never think to look for a venue. The path to get there kinda looks like the road to get to the principal’s office in high school, but the actual venue space is great. :)
THE GODFREY HOTEL & CABANAS
Currently closed, but whenever they open back up they were nice.
Venice
Plantation
(Golf & Country Club) I think this is the venue I’ve performed the most at, certainly the most for clubs/hotels. They’re very professional, very clean and versatile environment.
The Waverly
The staff is always really helpful during the event, and it has a very nice sunset view.
