We recently got married at the Tampa Edition and the entire process was wonderful. We had our ceremony on the garden terrace and our reception in the ballroom. From our first tour to tastings to planning calls, we received white glove service.

The modern architecture, clean lines, and oceanfront views gave us endless photo opportunities — inside and outside gave plenty of opportunity for some epic wedding day photos.
