Top 5 Wedding Venues In Tampa Bay & Sarasota

Tampa Bay and Sarasota are known for their gorgeous beaches and beautiful weather. But did you know they’re also home to some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the country? From historic mansions to modern spaces and everything in between, I’m going to take you through my top five favorites.

The Powel Crossley

This Mediterranean-style venue stands between Bradenton and Sarasota, near the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. This makes it a perfect location for your guests coming from out of town. The maximum capacity is 800 guests, with indoor and outdoor spaces available to accommodate your needs.

If you love Mediterranean design styles, this is the perfect Sarasota wedding venue for you! And did I mention they have six local caterers? That means you get to choose between different vendors before you decide who will create your dream menu.

The Edison Barn

The Edison Barn is a newly renovated old equestrian barn that’s located in Dade City, Florida. This wedding venue has rustic charm and modern industrial simplicity, and it can accommodate up to 150 guests. Perfect for those who are looking to host a more intimate celebration!

The barn features both indoor and outdoor locations, allowing you to take advantage of the beautiful Florida weather!

Yacht Starship

Yacht Starship is the first 3-Diamond-rated dining yacht in America, and it’s the perfect Tampa Bay wedding venue to get married. Whether you want a small, intimate wedding or a large, extravagant affair with hundreds of guests, this venue has got you covered. They offer all-inclusive event packages that are customizable to fit your “perfect wedding day vision”.

Yacht Starship is the perfect choice if you’re looking for somewhere that feels like an escape from reality, but still has all the amenities you need. With its sweeping views of Tampa Bay, it’s like having your private island for the day!

Legacy Lane Wedding

Legacy Lane is an idyllic Florida wedding venue. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a perfect place to unwind after a long day of celebrating.

The private use of their Farmhouse, Groom’s Bunkhouse, Bridal Estate, and Legacy Lodge ensures that your guests will have plenty of room to enjoy themselves. The estate is also a wonderful location for your photo shoot! You can make use of the natural beauty of the grounds or get some picturesque shots in front of the Farmhouse.

Le Meridian Tampa

Le Meridian Tampa is a century-old historic federal courthouse that has transformed into a gorgeous hotel. The 130 exquisite guest rooms and suites blend historic features with modern luxury to create a unique experience.

Located in downtown Tampa, Le Meridian Tampa offers stunning architecture, world-class service, and one-of-a-kind amenities. It’s no wonder that this is one of the best Florida wedding venues.
