What Couples Love About Our Venue
Couple at the Whitehurst Gallery absolutely LOVE the feeling that they are at one of the most unique estates in all of Tampa Bay. It has both the feeling of grandeur and cosiness all in the same building. The first floor Great Room and Front Foyer have a distinguished and timeless elegance with a bit of historical charm. Contrasty, the 2nd floor “residential” wing of the building provides an element of warmth and comfort. Although, one of the main features couples love most is the outdoor rooftop pool deck that leads up to the third floor deck, providing a 360 panoramic view of the property.

The Ceremony
We recommend to all of our clients having their ceremony featured on the front steps of the Whitehurst Gallery. The backdrop of the stunning Neoclassical architecture provides INCREDIBLE pictures of the big moment. Wedding parties for both are able to line up on either side descending down the stairs creating the perfect focal point for the happy couple. Your guests will be comfortably seated in ghost chairs down the central walkway facing the Gallery. Exterior power outlets allow for a PA system for amplification for the officiant. And don’t forget the harpist!
The Cocktail Hour
Cocktail hour by the rooftop pool? Why not!? Spill out onto the pool deck for a dramatic cocktail hour. This outside area is the perfect space to gather for a cool beverage while photos are being taken. Lounge by the water or even take a walk up the stairs where you can enjoy a 360 panoramic view of the property, the beautiful tree line, and the sunset.
The Reception
Dine in style in the “Great Room” featuring a library spanning the entire interior wall of the 2nd floor balcony (visible from the ground floor). As you look up, the domed ceiling features the same detail as you would see in the capitol building in Washington, DC. Marble statues, antique victrolas, and turn of the century artwork are featured in the front foyer, creating an elevated experience and area to stretch your legs during the reception. For those who wish to have acoustic music during the reception, the Whitehurst Gallery is home to a world class 10′ concert grand piano – Blüthner – by request only. Seating for 75 is very comfortable in the Great Room and still provides an area do “get down” while the music plays on!

We chose a simplified theme highlighting the venue architecture at Whitehurst Gallery. We focused on natural and earthy colors, choosing ivory to match the venue and accenting it with earth-tone greens and black to create an elegant feel while highlighting our affinity for plants and greenery.

I wanted something colorful and casual that represents our personalities. Our theme was boho tropical. I adore fresh flowers and bright colors, and life is too short to live without vibrant colors and joy. Our colors were deep blues, greens, golds, and natural colors brought in with the art and florals.

“We wanted something small and meaningful, with just our closest family and friends—about 45 people. We were looking for a space that felt intimate but still beautiful, and Whitehurst Gallery was perfect. I first saw Whitehurst Gallery in photos in Marry Me Tampa Bay and instantly fell in love. The space is stunning—the library and its beautiful ceiling, and the outdoor columns—create an elegant, timeless feel.
Whitehurst was so accommodating and kind, which made the day even more special. Their service was just as impressive; the team’s kindness and attention to detail made everything seamless. I’d recommend Whitehurst Gallery to any couple looking for a chic, intimate setting for their wedding.”

“We were looking for a venue that was both unique and intimate, somewhere that would reflect our personal style and create a meaningful atmosphere for our closest family and friends. It was important to us to find a place that felt personal, with a sense of warmth and character that would make our celebration truly unforgettable.
From the moment we saw it, we fell in love with Whitehurst Gallery’s charm, clean aesthetic, and first-class service. We can’t recommend Whitehurst Gallery enough. It was an absolutely remarkable experience. Griffeth and his team were the epitome of professionalism—always helpful, accommodating, and attentive to every detail.”

“We love Europe, so in looking for our venue, the architecture and simplicity of the building were important. The venue does not need much because it speaks for itself and its history.
We specifically chose Whitehurst Gallery because of its beautiful architecture. The vehicles available through Whitehurst were a plus because Biko loves classic vehicles. The library and chandeliers appealed to me because I love Beauty & The Beast. The team was amazing from beginning to end and beyond. They followed up, sent pictures, and were just a pleasant and spectacular team to work with.”

When choosing our wedding venue, we wanted a place that reflected our minimalistic yet elegant style while also allowing us to incorporate worship and praise seamlessly. It was important for the space to feel intimate and inviting, with enough room for our guests to enjoy the experience comfortably. We also looked for a venue that could accommodate our butler-served dining, a beautiful bar setup, and live music, including our DJ and violinist. Most importantly, we wanted a space where we could honor God and create a meaningful atmosphere for our ceremony and celebration.
We chose Whitehurst Gallery because it perfectly aligned with our vision. The space was beautiful and provided the perfect atmosphere for both worship and celebration. Their service was second to none—everything was handled with such professionalism and care. The communication was amazing from start to finish, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. We truly felt valued and supported, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our special day!
