Planning from LA... Venue help!

Hello everyone!  We're getting married in/around Tampa, but planning from Los Angeles, and this is hard!  I'd love some input on venues: Any horror stories? Any absolutely wonderful experiences?

Also, I was watching Made of Honor on tv the other day and LOVED the downtown rooftop wedding ... Does anyone know of any place that I could do something like that? 

Thanks so much for your help ladies!!!!!!

    We had a really great wedding at Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club, we worked with Jeannelle and she was super! I didn't have to worry about a thing! They hold wedding in an outside covered patio that looks over the golf course and then they have two different rooms for receptions.

    Happy Planning!

    Hyatt Downtown Tampa has a rooftop wedding terrace and Jennifer from there is very nice.

    I know that the Tampa Museum of Art is an amazing location, not roof top, but it's some where that is on our list of places... Never hurts to check. :)

    The downtown hyatt has a pool on the rooftop for you to do the ceremony, but i don't believe there is an area up there to do an outdoor reception. however.. they have a ton of space on the bottom level on their patio that you can use  and one of the rooms on the lobby level had floor to ceiling windows and you can see the city streets and bottoms of the skyscrapers.. i really liked it.

    Across the street from the Hyatt downtown is The Tampa Club. It's located on the top floor of the Bank of America building. Sandra, the coordinator,  is super nice. We are getting married there in October and can't wait!
