FEATURES
AMBIANCE
Lighting is extremely important for wedding couples, and party planners of all types, because it allows photographers and videographers to capture the most special day of their lives without any complications. We’ve specifically designed our building to allow as much natural light in as possible including floor to ceiling windows and bright light walls, all of which can be dimmed for party time!
We have high ceilings and views of the Tampa Palms nature preservation to further enhance the ambience. We also offer plenty of grassy areas for outdoor ceremony or options for yard games, etc.
ARCHITECTURE
Our unique design is unlike any other in Tampa. With our traditionally elegant, yet simple, style, we are nestled in a forest of towering Tampa Palms, oaks and pines. Our entire venue was designed with nature in mind. It was our goal to have as many windows as possible, in an effort to bring the outside in. Our cathedral style sanctuary is Old World meets New!
CATERING KITCHEN
For dining, we offer a full commercial catering kitchen perfect for prepping and plating your offerings prepared off site. Commercial appliances are available as an add-on option, enabling cuisine preparation within our banquet hall for licensed chefs.
CLIMATE CONTROLLED ALL YEAR ROUND
We are prepared for whatever Mother Nature brings our way! Our building is state of the art when it comes to climate control. Whether it’s the hottest days of summer or coldest of winter, we have you covered. Our building has commercial heating and cooling systems to keep you and your guests comfortable under any circumstance.
EXCLUSIVITY
Your rental of the property for the day includes exclusive use of the event space. No competing with other parties. Privacy and space are all yours.
FURNITURE
When you host your event with us, you have access to our rental furniture at no cost to you. We provide tables and chairs for all of your guests for covered and floored events. For an outdoor ceremony, you will need to rent chairs. We can provide you with recommendations. For an indoor ceremony and reception, separate furnishings will be provided in each room, so there will never be a need for a room flip, or moving of chairs.
Our In-House banquet hall rental furniture inventory includes:
- 60" Round Banquet Tables (seats up to 8/10 guests comfortably)
- Gold Chiavari Chairs with Ivory or Black Seat Padding
- 6' Rectangle Auxiliary Tables (for buffets, bar set-up, gifts, etc.)
Additional items may be available at request for a rental fee. Please note that we do not have cocktail or high top tables in our inventory.
INDOOR CEREMONY AREA
If you decide to host your ceremony indoors, we have a dedicated, beautiful, vaulted indoor sanctuary space specifically for this use! If you choose to do an outdoor ceremony and the weather is not working in your favor, our sanctuary will be a stress-free backup for you! This room is separate from our reception hall so your vendors never have to rush to flip the room for dinner. Outdoor or indoor- either option is truly a win-win!
OUTDOOR CEREMONY AREA
Our outdoor ceremony area is truly amazing! Nestled in the middle of the towering pines of Tampa Palms, this is a perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony. Outdoor ceremony seating is not provided.
