Clearwater Beach Rec Center

Has anyone been married here or is getting married here? It looks like a great budget friendly venue. There doesn't seem to be many pictures of the inside available online. I would love to see more pictures and info if anyone has any. TIA

Yup, I did get married there! Both ceremony and reception. You can look at my married bio (which is totally not finished...at all!) for some non-pro pics, and here is a link to my photographer's blog which has some pro pics of the inside. (http://jbozard.xanga.com/706144877/heather-and-jae/) If you like, I can share the entire event page with you so you can see a TON of pictures of how we did everything. Basically, we just hung some paper lanterns from the ceiling (which I will eventually get around to selling) and some lights from outside. We also had rose petals all over. I did a LOT of DIY...pretty much everything that you see is DIY! I liked this venue a lot and it got a LOT of compliments. I loved that I could bring my own caterer, I got my liquor from Costco, etc. I did hire a DOC, though, and she kept me sane - that was the best decision I made! Even if you don't hire one, definitely have someone in charge of those decisions! Let me know if you have other questions! If you want to give me your email address I'd be happy to chat!

Hi Ladies,

I just booked the Rec center and am planning this wedding from NY state and am feeling overwhelmed.  I'm going to do the wedding on the beach and am looking for help renting chairs/sound system and then maybe finding an affordable decorator to help decorate the rec center.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
