Did you know that one of the most sought-after Tampa Bay weekend destinations also hosts weddings?
Not only can you tour the space during their wedding expo on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, from 5-8 p.m., but you’ll also experience what it’s like to be a guest at a wedding there!
Join Tampa Heights’ historic food and event hall, Armature Works, for an exclusive evening of wedding planning in a fresh and new way. Back for its seventh year, The Reception is not your typical Tampa Bay bridal show; it’s one of the most anticipated wedding-planning events of the year, as vendors bring their visions to life with live demos in each of the popular event spaces.
Experience two-staged “wedding ceremonies” and attend a “reception” with live music, light bites, and desserts in the Gathering event space, along with 50 of the best local vendors in the Bay.
No matter where you plan to say ‘I Do,’ you’ll have the chance to interact with the area’s best local vendors, including photographers, florists, DJs, live musicians, cake artists, stationery and gift providers, preferred caterers, party and furniture rentals,
A ticket to The Reception includes entry for you and one guest, a complimentary glass of champagne or mocktail, and a keepsake tote bag (one per couple). You may add additional guests at checkout at a reduced rate.
“Vendors bring their vision to life with live demos in each of our event spaces. Experience two staged wedding ceremonies, attend a ‘Reception’ with live music, lite bites and desserts in the Gathering event space along with a variety of the best local vendors in the Bay.”
