3 Unique Venues in South Tampa for Weddings, Parties and Events

As one of Tampa Bay’s premier caterers for weddings, corporate events and parties, we’re often asked by our clients for recommendations on unique venues that offer something that a hotel or resort cannot.  The biggest requests include two things:

• a venue that can begin as a blank slate and be customized by a of great team of vendors, including décor companies, caterers, florists and photographers.
• one that has a great view, unique architecture or its own charm.

As a caterer, we have the ability to set up shop and prepare food and services wherever an event is held, from Dade City to Sarasota and from Lakeland to Clearwater.  Geography is no boundary for a skilled catering company!

Since we’re a locally owned company based in south Tampa, I wanted to begin by highlighting a few of our favorite south Tampa venues where we frequently work.  At each of these venues, we’re either on their approved caterer’s list or better yet, a preferred vendor.  If you have any questions about catering or holding your event at any of these venues, feel free to give us a call at (813) 731-0819.

Davis Island Garden Club

Located waterside on Davis Island, the garden club is one of our favorite venues in which to work.  It helps that I got married there myself and have a special place in my heart for those that do the same!  With a full kitchen, we’re able to prepare all of the food onsite and there are very few limitations on the cuisine or style of service.   The garden club is a complete blank slate and can easily be customized to match your theme or décor.  Plenty of parking and a great view round out this to make it one of the better values in the Tampa Bay region.

220 West Seventh

Here’s a cool new venue that provides something rare in the Tampa Bay area– a rooftop view of the city overlooking the Hillsborough River!   This modern “green” building is perfect for cocktail style receptions and corporate events.  The décor is sleek and clean with a perfect mix of indoor and outdoor space.

Ybor City Museum

Are you looking for a great outdoor venue with plenty of character?  This museum garden is the perfect location for a station style reception and a relaxed atmosphere.   It’s located in the heart of Ybor City and shares the charm and architecture of this historic district.  We’ve catered events there throughout the year, but we highly recommend saving an outdoor venue like this for the cooler months.
