Ya’ll this venue is EVERYTHING. One of our absolute favorites. Its literally magical. Words can not describe how amazing this place looks must see for yourself. The building shown in the picture above can hold a few hundred people and be transformed into ANY space. They have garage door windows that open up all the way to show covered patio overlooking the reservoir. And then we get to talk about the rest! There is an INCREDIBLE bridge leading to a little island where ceremonies can be held. A epic hill for some amazing sunsets. And a gorgeous little getting ready room! You’re photographer will love you lol. It’s just beyond words. Swear we thought mermaids would pop out of nowhere cause it was that magical. Check out some more pictures below.





Covington Farm

Another GORGEOUS venue. Did you know there was hills big enough in Florida to look like mountains? Because that’s Dade City and the views you get with Covington are incredible. They sit on about 15 acres so there is LOTS to do and places to go around. Beautiful little canopy lights, two story columns overlooking a huge lake, Spanish moss covered oak trees, paved aisle to walk down sitting under the oak trees, HUGE white barn to have the rustic feel with an INCREDIBLE space inside. Your guests will be FLOORED entering this venue. TRUST US.

Bella Cosa Lake Side

https://www.bellacosalakeside.com


OKAYYY. THIS VENUE. Want old Spanish/ Italian vibes for wedding day? THIS. IS. IT. The GRANDNESS of this venue is incredible. There’s a lake so big it could be an ocean, a deck for insane pictures, columns, grand ballroom, GORGEOUS curved staircase. Its just an incredible space. MUST HAVE.







Oxford Exchange

https://oxfordexchange.com


In the heart of Tampa is a JEWEL and its called Oxford Exchange. Didn’t know you could have weddings here? Oh YES you can and its beautiful! If you’re looking for elegant romance this is it. Its a darker venue with dark walls and high ceilings but so many candles and string lights really tie it all in together. They have an atrium with plans and lights, and even a fountain that really make the atmosphere cozy. Love this place.

Alterations By Wendy

Wendy was very sweet, and incredible. She took my dress above and turned it from a 12 to a size 2 in the perfect amount of time and it looked perfect. I Have sent so many people to her because she is GREAT and AFFORDABLE. SO many places charge MUCH to much and I want people to know how amazing she is within budget. GO TO HERRRRR!!!! She gets busy though so book the second you find your dress!

 

Alrighty that’s it for now!!! Ill be updating this as much as I can because we know people need help panning their wedding and we want to make it easy for yall! If you have any recommendations that you need, let us know and we will hunt for the very best both personality and their work. I believe thats important too, their work could be beautiful but if they are a sucky person makes it hard to enjoy the day/ planing process. SO here they are!!
