Airports

There are three airports that are accessible to our area. Tampa (TPA), St. Pete-Clearwater (PIE), and Sarasota (SRQ) international airports. We have also several area hotels, close enough to the venue, that would be ideal for staying overnight.

Hampton Inn by Hilton Ellenton, Florida

Discounted blocked rooms are available for guests, for this location, but must be booked by December 10. Discounted room rates begin as early as Wednesday, January 8. To access this discount, please use the "View" link below or call the hotel direct at 941-721-4000 and ask for the Blackwell-Laudicina Wedding Room Block. If you discover that all the discounted block rooms have been purchased, please contact us and we will attempt to add more rooms, if available. Hampton Inn is 9.3 miles and the closest hotel to our venue. There is no need to travel on the highway to get to the venue because it is located just off Route 301, next to several restaurants and the Ellenton Outlet Mall.
