Jacqueline and Joseph celebrated their love with a stunning modern-romantic wedding in the heart of Tampa’s historic Ybor City. Against the vibrant backdrop of Hotel Haya, their day was a seamless blend of timeless elegance and contemporary charm.

The couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony, accompanied by the beautiful sounds of Mabry Quartet and officiated by Pastor Heath. Following their “I dos,” guests were treated to a refined reception at Fondo Blanco, where lush floral designs by Tailored Twig and stylish details by The Olive Tree Weddings set the perfect ambiance.

Captured through the lens of Evoke Photo & Film, every moment— from joyful embraces to intimate glances— reflected the deep love Jacqueline and Joseph share. Their evening was filled with exquisite cuisine from Wrights Gourmet and seamless decor execution by Gabro Event Services, providing impeccable service to enhance the evening’s festivities and making their wedding day as unforgettable as their love story.

Set against the stylish backdrop of Hotel Haya, the couple’s day unfolded seamlessly, with their ceremony taking place in the historic Los Novedades space. The beautiful melodies of the Mabry Quartet filled the air as Jacqueline walked down the aisle, where Pastor Heath officiated a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Following the ceremony, guests transitioned to a beautifully curated reception at Hotel Haya’s Flor Fina. With the expert planning and floral artistry of Tailored Twig, the space was transformed into a moody winter dreamscape filled with lush arrangements and intimate candlelight.

Jacqueline and Joseph’s wedding was a reflection of their love—modern, elegant, and filled with joy. Every detail, from the carefully curated decor to the meaningful moments shared, contributed to an unforgettable beginning to their next chapter together.
