Lamont is originally from New York, and since we were going to have a large guest base from out of town, we thought that downtown St. Pete was the perfect location since it has everything! Water, food, fun, and the iconic pink hotel building of The Vinoy has such a Florida feeling and vibe.”

He had actually found the site when looking for venues and told me to check it out, and I became hooked! The Vinoy was everything we dreamed of for our wedding and more! We chose it because we felt right at home when we walked in. It truly represented our love so perfectly—big, grand and beautiful. Everything at the Vinoy was absolutely outstanding. We were provided a wedding coordinator, who was absolutely incredible. She took care of everything, even down to the small details and made sure I wasn’t bothered with anything on the morning of our wedding. I would definitely recommend The Vinoy to anyone who’s looking to have the perfect local Tampa Bay wedding!”

The timeless look of the Vinoy fit our vision perfectly. We wanted a venue that had garden elements and that was beautiful on its own, where we wouldn’t need to add much decor. We also wanted a beautiful spot for all of our out-of-town guests to come and be able to enjoy all that downtown St. Pete has to offer. The Vinoy service is like none other! We loved the history of the hotel, and it’s timeless elegance.”

The Vinoy Renaissance was our dream wedding venue! Ever since I moved to Florida I fell in love with The Vinoy. It is such a beautiful, historic building, and it truly stands alone as one of the only resorts not on a beach. We ultimately chose The Vinoy knowing that we would not need much added décor, as it was already beautiful on its own. The service at The Vinoy was exceptional! We were so impressed with all of their kindness, support and accommodations to make our wedding day perfect.”

Multicultural Indian Ballroom Wedding with Purple Uplighting and GOBO | Bride and Groom First Dance Portrait | Tampa Bay Wedding Venue The Vinoy Renaissance“I always pictured my wedding reception in a ballroom, and the Vinoy ballroom fit my vision perfectly. Once we saw the Chihuly chandelier hanging in the Grand Ballroom, I was sold. I loved the character that the chandelier added, and I knew it would be an amazing place to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends. I wanted a venue with some outdoor space, which we were able to do for our cocktail hour. Also since we were having a destination wedding, we wanted a place that could help us through the process, had an event coordinator and food on site. The Vinoy was exactly what we were looking, and were we very impressed with the staff that guided us through the whole process.”

Traditional All White Wedding Reception at St. Petersburg FL Wedding Venue The Vinoy Renaissance“I wanted the ceremony to be outdoors, and the reception venue to be something that would take my breath away. I felt like the Chihuly chandelier in the Vinoy Grand Ballroom did just that the Tea Garden was perfect.”

It came down to three things for us: location, style, and space. The location we both agreed it should be near or on the ocean, in a city that was easily accessible and had plenty of accommodation options for our guests. For style and design preference, we wanted a luxurious and beautiful hotel venue that had amenities like a spa, resort pool, on-site restaurants, and high-end service. The most important was the actual space. We loved the idea of having an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception and knew whichever venue we chose needed to have those options.

The Vinoy Renaissance is unique because it has the historical look and charm, but with all of the modern features and amenities you could need. The location was absolutely perfect and met all of our requirements. The Grand Ballroom is what really sold us, along with the ability to have the ceremony in the Tea Garden. The wedding planners, staff, and servers were all five stars during the planning and day-of.

Whimsical Ombre Rainbow Downtown St. Pete Wedding | Vinoy Renaissance

I was looking for a venue that could provide me with the ultimate enchanting, romantic experience all outdoors from beginning to end.

I chose the Vinoy Renaissance for its unique historic charm and beautiful outdoor setup for my ceremony and reception. The Tea Garden is so unique and one of a kind. It was exactly what I was looking for and so much more. The Esplanade, where the reception was held, had the most breathtaking views of the bay and such a charming feel.

The Vinoy provided excellent service from the first phone call with the catering sales executive Chris Starman who was exceptional and answered all of my questions to the day of the wedding, all of the staff was amazing to work with. I especially enjoyed the private tasting event that was held for us to choose our cocktail, hors d'oeuvre, and dinner menu. Catering manager Rainee Herrera was also extremely helpful in the planning process.

The Vinoy Renaissance is a historical hotel with a lot of character. We wanted our guests to feel the historic vibe in the Sunset Ballroom with its arches and beauty. We also wanted our guests to feel cared for. During the reception there were dancing shoes, delicious food, glow sticks, and late-night snacks (sliders and chicken and waffles). The wedding was a blast!

We both knew we wanted something that had history and was timeless.

We originally had chosen a Sarasota venue for the wedding. However, due to COVID-19 we canceled the wedding and had to go a different route. We downsized from 135 guests to 15 and chose The Vinoy Renaissance because they were able to offer a smaller private space that made more sense for what we were doing, while at the same time still elegant and beautiful. It was also a place I visited throughout my childhood as well as the place Avery and I had our first date, so it held sentimental value.

Meg at the Vinoy exceeded our expectations. She gave us complimentary nights at the hotel, and we were also given Marchand’s for an after-party after having a noise complaint in our suite. She was always very quick to respond and helped so much with our room block.
