Ahh, the lovely Sunshine State! Tampa is a vibrant and scenic location that welcomes beautiful events of all kinds. As an extremely popular wedding destination, Florida’s west coast offers so much more than just beach weddings, too! Here are our top 4 reasons Tampa is the perfect wedding destination:
1. Picture-perfect wedding weather
If you decide to get married in Tampa, you are guaranteed near-perfect weather at least ten months of the year. What more can a bride want? The sunny, yet swelter-free weather boasts an average of 361 sunny days a year, which means that (almost) every day is a perfect wedding day in Tampa! The bad news? Those amazing Friday and Saturday sunset ceremonies are usually booked up to a year in advance…
2. Finger-licking-good food
Packed with incredible culinary diversity, Tampa has everything you could dream of for your wedding, as your tastebuds will agree. From the freshest (and most delicious) seafood you can imagine to flavorful local dishes and creative farm-to-table cuisine, your wedding guests can be guaranteed an amazing dining experience.
3. Fabulous sun-bleached sandy beaches
With 35 miles of sugar-white sandy coastline along the Gulf Coast, the Tampa Bay area offers some of the finest (and most praised) beaches in the world! Open all year round, they make the perfect beach wedding venue with pristine waters and spectacular waterfront views. If you are planning your beach wedding at the Gulf coast, go for a sunset wedding. If you are getting married on the east coast, a sunrise ceremony will certainly take your breath away.
4. Unique world-class Tampa wedding venues
Whether you are having a traditional wedding, a glamorous wedding or a modern wedding, Tampa certainly has the picture-perfect wedding venue for you, pampering your senses with a stylish mix of elegance and romance.
*Note that Tampa is also a gay-friendly wedding destination offering plenty of same-sex wedding packages!
