“The team at The Osprey View was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always punctual, professional, and easy - they were quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional, with beautiful, natural-looking ceremony and reception spaces across multiple sites. They made setup of our decor a breeze and were very accommodating to our guests. The bridal suite was the perfect size, and there were plenty of great spots around the venue to take gorgeous photos. We had our ceremony in one of their multiple ceremony sites and the reception in their amazing event space, which never felt too hot or crowded. The Groom's house was also a wonderful place for the guys to get ready. We are so grateful to the team at The Osprey View for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!”

“We recently celebrated our wedding at Spartan Manor, and overall, we had a wonderful experience. One of my favorite parts of the venue was the bridal holding area. Since ours was the only wedding scheduled that day, we didn't have to worry about moving our belongings out after the ceremony, which made the day much less stressful and allowed us to fully enjoy the space. Like most weddings, there were a few rushed moments and minor mix-ups throughout the day, but they weren't solely the responsibility of our coordinator. We did have a few details that weren't quite as expected, such as receiving clear marbles in our centerpieces instead of the black marbles we had selected. The food was generally very good. The salad and cake were absolutely amazing and received great feedback from our guests. We did experience some issues with the chicken and potatoes, as both seemed to have heavier grill marks that resulted in a slightly burnt taste. The bartender was fantastic—friendly, professional, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the reception. Overall, we had a beautiful wedding day, and despite a few minor issues, we would absolutely choose Spartan Manor again and would confidently recommend them to other couples looking for a wedding venue.”

“We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Whiskey Joe’s, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Devin was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, attentive to every detail. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of food offered during the tasting—it really exceeded our expectations! Before the big day, I brought some friends and family for dinner, and everyone was treated with warmth and care. On the wedding day itself, everything went exactly as planned, and the food was absolutely delicious. The entire experience was smooth, affordable, and truly special. Thank you to the entire Whiskey Joe’s team for helping make our day unforgettable.”

“Ryan & I knew we wanted a beach wedding, but where? My husband had been to St. Pete Beach one other time for a work event, so that’s how we settled with the beach. Picking the venue seemed like a daunting task all the way from Nebraska, but once we found Tradewinds and met Hannah, their wedding coordinator, we knew instantly. We flew down one time before our wedding, so I really trusted Hannah and our planner and they knocked it out of the park. The hotel room was perfect size for my wedding party and I to get ready and with the natural light from the beautiful room views our makeup artist was in heaven! The guys spent the day enjoying an amazing lunch at the Flying Bridge, playing mini-putt and hanging out at the lobby bar while they waited. The photo backdrops you can find around the property made for magical wedding photos. Our ceremony was on the beach and the set up was perfect! The reception was in the courtyard and it was the best spot. We go visit the courtyard each time we come back to visit! The food was 10/10! I wish they had a restaurant on their property that served the same food that was served that night because we would eat there constantly! Their chef is truly so skilled! You don’t hear many people talk about wedding food, but 2 1/2 years later and our guests still rave about it; specifically the corn chowder! Yum! I really can’t thank Hannah, Tradewinds, and our planner enough. I didn’t feel an ounce of stress planning our wedding because of them. Tradewinds has really become our home away from home and it is all because of the amazing work they did for the biggest day of our life!”

“We had such an amazing experience at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature—especially in the courtyard space, which was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding day. A huge part of what made everything so seamless was Farrah. She was incredibly personable, sweet, and just so easy to work with throughout the entire process. She made us feel comfortable from the start and was always so helpful and accommodating. One thing that made a big difference for us was being able to drop off our personal décor ahead of time—it took so much stress off our plate and allowed us to truly be present and enjoy every moment of the day. Everything Farrah was in charge of ran so smoothly, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing we were in such good hands. She balanced being organized and on top of every detail while still feeling warm and approachable, which meant so much to us. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here and couldn’t recommend this venue more”

“We had our wedding at this venue and cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. From the very beginning of the planning process to the final moments of our big day, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail. What truly set this experience apart, though, was working with Tamara, the Events Coordinator. She was nothing short of exceptional. Tamara is incredibly organized, responsive, and always one step ahead, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision, respected every detail, and made sure our wedding reflected exactly who we are as a couple. What stood out the most, and something that meant the world to us, was Tamara’s cultural awareness and sensitivity. We incorporated several cultural traditions into our ceremony and reception, and Tamara not only welcomed them with enthusiasm, but knew about our traditions with depth. We are Palestinian from the Middle East, and for comparison, nearly every other venue in Orlando would send us the "Southeast Asian" package when they hear we are Palestinian. At Gaylord, after correcting the Event Sales rep multiple times (she kept referring to us as Pakistani versus Palestinian even though we corrected her 3-4 times), and at 2-3 times the cost, it was a no-brainer that we needed someone who was culturally aware. Tamara worked closely with our families to ensure every tradition was honored respectfully and authentically, and she did so with such grace and understanding. It was clear she genuinely cared about making everyone feel included and celebrated. Our tradition is a Henna and a Wedding Reception (a 2 day event). We initially wanted 2 different locations, one for each event. My wife was set on one or two specific locations. I "shopped around" and almost jokingly called Margaritaville (alcohol themed resort for a Palestinian culture that prohibits alcohol) to see what other venues offered to do comparisons. Not only was Margaritaville less expensive, the meal options were better, the ballroom was nicer than every other ballroom we saw in person (we saw about 15 other ballrooms), the resort was better, and the Team there actually ensured every little nuance to our vision was attainable without more than an inquiry to their team where we had an almost opposite experience everywhere else. Margaritaville made us feel like they were lucky to have our business, while other venues made us feel like we were lucky that they took 15 minutes out of their day to see the resort and ball room. In the end, we hosted both events at Margaritaville AND the price for both days came in less expensive than most competitors for a single day event. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and seamless everything was—and we know that wouldn’t have been possible without Tamara’s leadership and dedication. If you’re looking for a venue that not only delivers stunning spaces and top-notch service but also has a true professional like Tamara at the helm with her dedicated team, look no further. We are so grateful for everything Margaritaville did to make our 2 day event unforgettable!”
