We wanted somewhere with classic, luxury, and modern vibes with a touch of vintage.
The team at Le Meridien Tampa was amazing. They made me feel so special from my first inquiry email with them, to the time I walked out the door! The staff was phenomenal. Heather DiGiulio, the Catering Sales Manager, was so sweet, and her communication was above and beyond. I was blown away with how great the process was.
