Explore Tampa
Hyde Park Village
Hyde Park Village is a charming South Tampa gem packed with restaurants and shops. It’s the perfect place to wander—whether you’re craving a cup of coffee, a cupcake, a popsicle, Italian, or even a full-on steak dinner!
On Swann
On Swann is one of our absolute favorite restaurants! It’s right in the heart of Hyde Park, and you’re guaranteed to have a great dinner. We highly recommend the Kale Salad (we promise—it’s that good!) or the Scallops for your entrée. And whatever you do, don’t skip the arancini and empanadas to start!
Bayshore Boulevard
Check out Bayshore Boulevard! It’s a fantastic walking path right along Tampa Bay. You’ll get stunning views of the water and Tampa's skyline, plus you can sneak a peek at some of the most beautiful homes in the city! Tip: We recommend parking in the Hyde Park area and making your way down to the path. You can usually find a spot on the nearby side streets, too.
Daily Eats
Daily Eats is a go-to breakfast spot! It’s an upscale diner with all the comfort food you could ever crave in the morning. Pancakes? Eggs? Something indulgent? They’ve got you covered.
Armature Works
Armature Works is a fantastic spot to grab a bite, enjoy a drink, and wander around. It’s also right by the Tampa Riverwalk—perfect if you’re looking to get in some steps during our wedding weekend!
Columbia Restaurant
If you want a classic Tampa experience, Columbia in Ybor City is a must. Grab a Cuban, add the delicious house salad, and treat yourself to the sangria. You can thank us later!
Sparkman Wharf
Sparkman Wharf is right in the heart of Channelside and has a little bit of everything—beer garden, bowling, tasty restaurants, and shops to wander through. It’s an easy place to spend an afternoon!
Green Lemon
Green Lemon is our go-to for a fun, casual lunch or dinner—tacos, bowls, burritos, you name it. And please don’t leave without ordering the trio dip. Trust us… it’s essential!
eBoats Tampa
Explore Tampa from the water! No boater’s license needed—rent an eBoat and cruise up and down the Hillsborough River. You’ll even get a sneak peek at our wedding venue along the way!
Salt Shack On The Bay
If you’re looking to grab a drink, enjoy some seafood, and catch a gorgeous sunset, make sure to check out Salt Shack on the Bay. It’s a little bit outside of town, but so worth the views! And if you really want to do it right, order the groom’s favorite—a piña colada.
St. Pete Beach
Looking to soak up some sun before our festivities? Head to St. Pete Beach—it’s one of our absolute favorites!
