The Tampa Museum of Art was our top venue choice for our February wedding. We wanted something that offered an indoor/outdoor experience, was elegant, and that we could customize to fit our exact vision. Our guests were blown away by the venue from the moment they arrived at the cocktail hour in the atrium to dinner and dancing under the covered outdoor area. The architecture of the museum plus the backdrop of downtown Tampa made for beautiful pictures. The TMA staff were so wonderful to work with and made our vision come to life. Wish we could do it 100x again!

From the moment we connected with Wendy we knew we had chosen the right venue. We are from Saint Louis, so trying to find venues 1000 miles away was stressful! This was the first place we flew down to see and it was instant (we legit didn’t look anywhere else!) Amelia, our wedding coordinator was soooooooooo patient and kind answering all our questions! We actually had our wedding dress and suit lost, (8 days before the wedding!) and she saw my post on social media and called just to make sure I was okay! She didn’t have to do that, but she did (believe it or not we didn’t find the dress, but we located exact matches in Tampa when we landed!) Every detail was carefully crafted to ensure our day was magical! The entire team worked so hard to make sure even the smallest things were taken care of. We made some really good friends with the staff, and we cannot wait to come back for our anniversary! Thank you SO much for everything you have done for us! You truly made us feel loved and special! Also, can we talk about the food! Multiple guests told us it was the BEST wedding door they had ever had! If you’re thinking about this venue, please just give them a call! I’ve never been so fortunate to work with such amazing human beings! Thank you again for being a part of the best day of our lives!

I can’t express enough how fantastic our experience was at The Current Hotel in Tampa, FL. As a vendor in the Wedding industry, we value not only a beautiful property but the team we will essentially work alongside with to ensure the day is smooth and perfect for our clients. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible staff. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making the Couple’s day perfect. Starting with Allison Hlavac who is a super star in the Event Management/sales area. From the planning meetings to the wedding day coordination, every detail was handled with precision and warmth. Hector Almaguer who key on wedding day! He lead the ‘day of’ team. His professionalism, attention to detail, and literally the fact that anything we needed, he was right there to accommodate as amazing. Special thanks to Federico, Betsy Elizabeth, and Osvaldo Anthony for going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly! If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines stunning views of the Bay and a super modern/chic property, that exudes exceptional service, look no further than The Current Hotel in Tampa. Highly recommend to any couple planning their wedding!
