We Love Weddings Because…

We enjoy the experiences that our carts bring to the wedding day celebration. There are memories made as the couple share a spoonful of creamy gelato, just newly wed. There is an interactive element to the wedding. Guests can watch as their coffee is freshly brewed or their gelato is scooped, adding to the overall experience and enjoyment of the event. Weddings bring together friends and family from near and far, creating cherished moments of togetherness and unity. It’s a time for reconnecting, making new memories, and strengthening bonds with loved ones. And we love to see it over a freshly made cappuccino!

We love a wedding style that embraces personalized touches and attention to detail. Couples may customize the offerings to reflect their favorite flavors, incorporate their wedding colors, or even feature special menu items inspired by their love story.

Reviews from Marry Me Tampa Bay Couples

Marry Me Tampa Bay curates the below reviews from real couples whom we’ve personally interviewed. As Tampa Bay’s most trusted wedding planning resource, these reviews are 100% accurate and aren’t created by fake accounts.

  • We chose to have Cafe Ala Carte because what pairs better than cigars and Cafe Cubano?! The experience added to not only our venue but also the history and charm of Ybor City. Our barista even had specialty brewed espresso delivered to our bar so our guests could enjoy fresh espresso martinis. Many espresso martinis were served to us throughout the night.

    We know what a special treat it is to have gelato for our guests! Since our main menu was Cuban and Cajun-themed, we based our desserts on a Florida theme. Our guests enjoyed Key Lime Sorbet, Blood Orange Sorbet, Lemon Meringue, and Dulce de Leche, a Tampa classic. Some guests even enjoyed a special treat of the Duche de Leche gelato topped with a shot of espresso for a traditional affogato.
