Wedding Reception Venues

From Dinner Cruises to picnic shelters, our area offers an amazing variety of wedding reception venues.  Resorts have banquet halls and decks.  They offer brunches, lunches, buffets and plated dinners choices.  Parks have picnic shelters for rent where you may bring your own food.  Yacht and Party boat dinner cruises can be shared or a full boat chartered.  Restaurant receptions are popular wedding reception venues for small groups. Some restaurants offer separate wedding reception venues too.   Ask our Gulf Coast Wedding Concierge for more details.

Some restaurants are wedding reception venues too. To save money, small groups may reserve a brunch reception at a restaurant called Watercolour Grillhouse inside The Marriott, Clearwater.  If you are seeking separate space for a small group:  Rusty’s Bistro inside the Sheraton Sand Key is a terrific option.  Larger groups may work with the catering sales manager at a restaurant, hotel or banquet hall to arrange an affordable brunch reception for their group. Restaurant receptions are also popular wedding reception venues for small groups.

Treasure Island favorites include The Sunset Café, Middle Grounds and The Pearl.  Two favorites in Clearwater are The Marina Cantina & The Island Way Grill. Restaurants where exclusive seating & private dining rooms are offered for small groups include:  Crabby’s on the Pass, Treasure Island & Crabby Bill’s, St Pete Beach; along with Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Madeira Beach.  When is the best time to call a restaurant and reach a manager?  After the lunch rush, between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
