Hello WCF board!

Im coming out of hiding now that I am planning my wedding again, I have been a member on this board for years and everytime we think We have set the perfect date something happens so no changing dates anymore.

So Im Nene and would love any suggestions in the Tampa area of sites that allow outside catering! we are working on a small budget. We will have around 100-125 guest.

Thanks for any suggestions

    I'm pretty sure Tampa Bay Watch allows outside caterers and I heard they are great to work with.

    There are a lot of places;
    All the garden clubs (Davis Island, Tampa)
    Cuban Club
    Italian Club
    La Carte pavilion
    Palmetto Club
    Ybor Historical Gardens
    Lion's Eye Institute
    Don Vicente
    I'm sure there are a few more I'm forgetting. As you can see we checked out a lot of venues. We went with the Cuban Club in Ybor it was the most affordable for the historical ballroom feel we wanted.

    I am getting married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum in downtown St. Pete.  It was built in the 1920's and has been completely restored.  It has a wonderful "Old Hollywood Glam" vibe to it.  It is very beautiful already, so it doesn't need much decor which was a big plus for us because we are also on a budget.  I would suggest meeting the owner, Brian, for a personal tour because the pics on the website do it no justice.  GL and welcome!

    Cross Creek Ranch in Dover (just outside Brandon) is budget friendly. They work with outside caterers, and you can bring in your own alcohol (which is saving us a lot of money).

    What did you do about parking for that venue.  I checked it out and it's really nice...but it's all meter parking.

    Hi! I am in the exact same boat as you! We decided on a church on St. Pete Beach and are looking for somewhere in that area to have our reception. We did find a house on the beach that we loved. We are just concerned about the weather.

    Good luck
