We focused on places that had an elegant feel and did not require much effort to create an upscale ambiance. We considered the logistics as well as budget, location, and the services offered. We wanted both the ceremony and reception venues to have nice indoor spaces because Florida weather can be pretty unpredictable. It was really important that the venues offered some sort of coordinator as we planned this wedding ourselves.

When we toured Harborside Chapel, we immediately fell in love with the venue. The natural lighting and just how effortlessly beautiful it was won us over. Harborside pretty much checked all of our boxes when it came to price and services offered. Our day-of coordinator was very helpful throughout the rehearsal and the days leading up to the wedding. We had extensive conversations to make sure that all aspects were considered. The venue was also flexible when we wanted to make small changes to make the flow of our wedding personal to us. Aside from that, we appreciated the values of Harborside. Our faith is important to us, and Harborside offered premarital counseling that was helpful and insightful. This was super convenient as we always planned to engage in premarital counseling.

We wanted something beautiful, and clean, and that reminded us of us. We chose Harborside Chapel because it’s the most beautiful ceremony venue I have ever seen. It’s so fresh, white, clean, bright, and airy. They over-deliver, from all the decor they have to even filming our wedding to be shared and for us to have for eternity. I absolutely loved it! We also had marriage counseling, too, which was also a huge bonus.

We used Marry Me Tampa Bay to help us put together a list of potential ceremony and reception venues and found Harborside Chapel. We wanted something elegant, with plenty of natural light; a place where my husband and I could stand out as we said our vows. My dad always wanted me to get married in a church growing up, but we didn’t want to do a traditional church wedding

Harborside Chapel allowed us to get the feeling of that. We loved the natural light in the chapel, and everything was so bright that it made our colors pop. The aesthetic of the chapel was beautiful. It was the only place we visited to see about hosting the ceremony. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the place.

We loved the service. They provided pre-marital mentors for us, who we absolutely loved! They made our day feel incredibly special.

My husband and I wanted to keep things traditional and we knew we wanted to be married in a chapel, but we truly didn’t have many expectations besides finding something that felt special to us and was indoors due to the variability of Florida weather. It was kind of like buying a house, sometimes when you enter a building you just know it’s the right place.

When we walked through the doors of Harborside Chapel we instantly knew this was the special place where we wanted our big day to happen. Harborside gave us that feeling we had been hoping for, not to mention the chapel is absolutely stunning with its natural lighting and elegant design.

Not only is the chapel gorgeous, but the staff there are so kind and really care about their newlyweds. They truly want to see them succeed. My husband and I got paired with Krystal and Amos Pierre as our coordinator and pastor, respectively. Krystal went out of her way multiple times to make sure our day was perfect, and Amos had incredible words to speak on our big day. My husband and I are so glad we chose Harborside Chapel.

We knew we wanted to get married in a church, so the Harborside Chapel was a perfect option. It was actually the only ceremony space we looked at! We wanted something clean, bright, and simple, and the chapel was exactly that.

After touring Harborside Chapel, we were automatically sold. Since the church built the chapel specifically for weddings, it offered everything we were looking for. The building itself is beautiful, and it offers the perfect bride and groom suites for getting ready and photos. The natural light, simplicity, and somewhat beach vibe are definitely what drew us in!

On top of the beautiful space, everyone we worked and coordinated with was awesome, including our marriage counseling mentors.

We wanted to be married in an intimate chapel setting. We wanted our ceremony to reflect the very serious nature of our commitment to one another. We wanted something intimate that could present our bridal party and our string trio as well as our guests safely and beautifully.

We fell in love with Harborside Chapel the minute we set foot inside. The Chapel is isolated from their main campus and has a beautiful wooded backdrop. Once inside, the neutral setting is flooded with natural light. It is classic and modern, just the way we hoped. Its elegant design, natural light, and neutral colors were a perfect backdrop for our classic theme. Amos, our Pastor, was warm, open, and presided over our wedding with ease and sincerity. They have every couple take marriage mentoring classes leading up to the big day and pair each engaged couple with a married couple from their main church for several weeks beforehand.
