Venue HELP! Tampa Bay Area

karynandjoe

We are planning a small private ceremony for about 40 immediate family members and local friends.  I am Catholic and my fiance' is Jewish.  We have permission to hold our ceremony outside of the church but we are struggling to find a venue that fits our taste and the church's requirements.  We have always dreamed of holding our wedding on the beach but were told that is not possible.  Any suggestions?

The Rusty Pelican has several room sizes.

The Grand Hyatt on the Causeway in Tampa has a little beach area for intimate outdoor ceremonies. The hotel itself and their ballroom are both beautiful. I would definitely give that a try.

I am confused. Who told you it was not possible?  The church?  Are they against a beach or are you stating there isn't a nice beach for your wedding?

Ideas for beach:

Sunset Beach - Lions Club
Isla Del Sol - Tierra Verde
Tons of hotels on beaches

Non beaches -

Don Vincente Hotel - Ybor  - stunning
Davis Island womens club

Non beach but on water -

Clearwater rec center
St Petersburg Beach rec center
Tampa Bay Watch
Isla Del Sol

I too would like to know what you mean that getting married on the beach is not possible.

Every single time we go to Sand Key, there's been a wedding there.  Here are the details of the permit you have to get:  http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/15_sand_key.htm

We were told by the church they would not marry us on the beach.  Thank you for your suggestions.  Greatly appreciated.
