This venue was perfect for our wedding in every way! From tour day to wedding day, Bridget was so friendly and personable, and knowledgeable and efficient. When we made multiple appointments in the building with our decorators, Bridget was always happy to be on hand to answer questions while being so patient with all of our questions and letting us take our time to visualize; she also had great recommendations for various vendors. The building itself is a beautiful canvas with which we made our vision come to life, and the outdoor areas and view of the bay were gorgeous for photos too. We didn't want to deal with weather possibilities (Florida being renowned for heat and/or sudden rain), so we planned from the start to have the ceremony in the Conservatory room, which still gave us a stunning view of the lovely garden just outside the window wall while keeping our guests comfortable. Both the Conservatory and main Banquet Hall spaces were more than plenty for our 80-guest event with plenty of room to spare, the high ceilings gave us a space that felt open and uncramped, and neutral colors throughout made it very easy to adapt the space to our colors and theme. Logistically, the vendor load-in is very convenient for them, guest parking is plenteous and easy, and all of the facilities are well-maintained and clean. The rental price was very reasonable for our budget, and we got top-notch service from Bridget through the booking and lead-up, as well as from Beth on the day of the event. On the day we toured, my then-fiancé and I immediately fell in love with this venue; we stopped looking at other places and never looked back, and we could not have been happier with this choice. Thank you to Bridget, Beth, and everyone at Tampa Garden Club!
My wife and I got married at the Tampa Garden Club in the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard area. The Tampa Garden Club is an amazing place. I was initially worried because their website isn't all that great but everyone we knew raved about having a ceremony and reception there. So we finally arranged to visit and get a little tour of the place during the week. The place was beyond beautiful and awesome. It truly is a a garden setting and it's great for taking lots of memorable pictures. I immediately thought we couldn't afford it but the planner was about to work with us and our budget. The ceremony was great and it looked like something out of a Hollywood movie set it was so perfect. Even as a guy I was blown away out how nice and professionally managed the whole affair was from the very beginning all the way to the reception later that evening. Unlike other weddings we'd be too, our guests were also able to enjoy the place while our photographer snapped away at us, family members and the whole setup of chairs and the entire garden areas. As I mentioned earlier, we also had the reception here. We had originally thought about having it outside but it was a scorcher of a time and we were afraid it would be miserable so we instead opted for an indoor event. My wife (bride at the time) had spent a lot of time with organizer to get everything right. It definitely paid off because everyone we knew loved the event, even those family and friends that are so very, very hard to please. The staff was very responsive and they were there when you needed them but quietly in the background when the family was having fun and yelling out thank yous and sharing personal memories and stories. Great place for your wedding and also for your reception event. We'd both highly recommend the Tampa Garden Club for making your special day picture perfect. Thanks!
