I had my wedding just a few months ago and was so excited to be a part of the process of having my wedding. I had over 100 guests and planned it from start to finish with the events coordinator - Gemma. Once i had my dinner served to my guests almost half of the meals were wrongly served. Guests that ordered filet mignon got salmon. As the bride i was served salmon when I asked for grouper. The fish smell was awful and all of the guests food and drinks were taken the second they stepped away from the table to mingle and dance. Guests were left with empty stomachs and it was pretty embarrassing that my own bridal party couldn’t finish their dinner. I expressed my concerns and are avid country club members - the general manager and Gemma admitted no fault and have yet to apologize for anything. They only offered a free meal for the “misinformation” after my father paid over $20,000 for this wedding. We’ve called over 4 times and have had no response and when we do speak they offer us a meal and say they’ll call us back. There has been zero communication and we will be consulting our lawyer for this. I would do your best to look elsewhere for your wedding
I can not begin to tell you how amazing Tampa Palms Country Club has been to me and my husband. We had to cancel our wedding the week of March 21st. Three days away from my wedding. I was heartbroken. From that day, we were treated with respect and kindness until our reschedule10.02.20. Liz, Gemma, and ALL the staff were there for us during this hard time. They went above and beyond during the planning stages. Liz and Gemma gave me hope that I would have the most amazing day. Did I have the most amazing wedding day? 10.02.20 was the best day of my life. Every detail was beautiful and classic. This was because of TAMPA PALMS COUNTRY CLUB. I will always hold this venue close to my heart. They cared about us. They truly care about you. I will be forever grateful. Brides please look at this venue. The venue is BEAUTIFUL. The staff here has even more beautiful hearts.
Beautiful day, couldn’t have asked for it to be any better.
I cannot begin to explain how happy my husband and I are with Tampa Palms Country Club as or all in one wedding venue. The staff was so awesome, Christa and Justice were so helpful and great! The food is maybe the best part... delicious! And they made several customizations we requested as well. The ballroom was recently remodeled in gray and white and it's beautiful. They have hotel rooms on site as well so I stayed in the bridal suite the night before our wedding and my husband stayed there with me after our reception. The rooms are very nice and the bridal suite is large enough for my whole wedding party to get ready in there. Many of our guests stayed in site too.... Very convenient. I think Tampa Palms Country Club is a little hidden gem that is a great choice for a wedding!
My husband and I had our ceremony at the Tampa Palms this past January. We worked with Cathie for pre-ceremony and the rehearsal dinner. And worked with Taylor the day of our Ceremony.
Both Cathie and Taylor were a pleasure to work with. They were very accommodating and understanding of our budget. And when our speaker arrangements fell through last minute, they quickly stepped in to provide and set up music equipment for our Ceremony. Taylor even helped play and stop our ceremony music on cue when our bridal party walked down the aisle.
Our guests kept telling us at our reception how moving and special our Ceremony was. No doubt the ambiance played a role as well as Cathie & Taylor's willingness to help make sure everything ran smoothly.
We had the best wedding day ever! The food was delicious and the venue looked so beautiful! Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with and she really cared about making sure everything went the way we wanted it to. It was really convenient having the hotel rooms on the second floor. I highly recommend this venue! Our wedding day was perfect!
Tampa Palms was the absolute perfect location for our wedding day. Christy, Sarah, and the entire team put in so much work and planned everything flawlessly, so there was not a thing we had to worry about over the wedding weekend. We had to plan our wedding from out of state, but Christy was extremely flexible with our communication and availability to meet with her. The venue is beautiful, the food was amazing, and it was so nice to have the ceremony, reception, and hotel rooms all at the same place so the wedding party and guests could just relax and enjoy the weekend. I would recommend Tampa Palms to anyone!
Booking Tampa Palms Country Club for our wedding venue was the best decision we made. We visited many venues throughout Tampa, Clearwater and St. Pete and fell in love when we visited Tampa Palms Country Club. There are many great reasons to book at Tampa Palms - they have AWESOME food (which was extremely important to us) - the chef even created a custom dessert bar for us which our guests loved, you can book the entire hotel venue for your guests at a great rate (this was really nice for our guests and everyone absolutely loved their stay), the venue has a beautiful vintage Florida feel but they also recently did some renovations just in time for our wedding and the restaurant/bar area is modern and beautiful. The best part about booking at Tampa Palms was the event coordinator - Christy Bowen. When researching this venue, everyone had such positive reviews about Christy and when we met with her we knew that she was going to work very hard to make our wedding dreams come true and she honestly exceeded our expectations. She was so wonderful to work with and was very very responsive. We were constantly changing things and she was very helpful and flexible with all our changes. We had many DIY rustic elements that required extra set-up and Christy and her assitant Ashley handled all of this for us - and did it perfectly! We also booked a brunch for the morning after the wedding and we were so happy we did. It gave us an opportunity to spend some more time with our guests and was one of the best brunches we have ever had. Tampa Palms will not disappoint when it comes to providing delicious food. The staff was professional and friendly. We had many guests tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to and we cannot thank Tampa Palms enough for helping create the wedding of our dreams.
I would highly recommend Tampa Country Club!! I have nothing but great and wonderful things to say about Christy the director. The main reason I picked them was her in the first place. You go to all these beautiful places where they show you around and hand you literature on their place. Christy showed us around and then sat down with my me, my husband, my parents, my sister in law and my two year old nephew. She went through all the options, and answered all of our questions knowing I had already fallen in love with some other places. Even with a youngin running around. She never stopped exceeding my expectations from that moment on and made everything so easy even with me that worked six days a week and lived 5 hours away. I never worried about a thing with her. I showed up the day before the wedding and never had to worry about anything the whole weekend. It was amazing!
My husbands whole family lives in Ga so it was important to me to have a place for them to stay. The biggest thing everyone had to say was how nice it was to have everyone so close and that the place felt so homey. And it did, my immediate family also stayed the weekend and all rooms had so much room that we all got to visit each other and had many special moments.
Thanks again Christy for helping make my vision a reality!
We got married here in the Summer of 2013 and it was beautiful. Since I was new to Tampa, I wanted to find a place that could provide the venue (ceremony and reception), food, and set-up all in one. The Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club provided all of those things and much more for a very reasonable price! They were also undergoing renovations, so the views were even better for our wedding than when we first booked. I simply had to choose vendors for the floral arrangements, DJ, and Photographer. However, on the day of our wedding our only task was to ENJOY! Christy was wonderful. She calmed all my fears about coordinating the wedding and other vendors and made it the simplest. She has style and a wonderful personality. She was great at coordinating my colors and ideas beautifully into our ceremony and reception set-up.
This venue also has guest rooms that you can reserve. We viewed the 2 types of rooms and two suites. Each and every one of them were beautiful, well-kept, and spacious. Some of our family stayed at the venue and we booked the honeymoon suite for two nights. It was equipped with a huge bathroom (shower and separate room with full tub), huge bedroom, separate living room, and full kitchen. The best feature was the outside balcony, which gave a beautiful backdrop for wedding prep photos. It was large enough to house 2-3 outside patio table sets.
For the price, inclusion, and scenic views...this is the best venue in Tampa! Check out the pictures on their site (they are not embellished). This place is beautiful and reasonably priced!
On-site wedding coordinator was awesome. On the day of, lots of things went wrong but the venue did their best to make it up to us. Wedding space was beautiful, perfect for an outdoor wedding in any weather. Food was delicious. Overall worth the money.
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Tampa Palms just a few weeks ago, and it exceeded our expectations. Christy Bowen and the staff at Tampa Palms are extremely professional, responsive, and dedicated to making your day perfect! We could not have picked a better venue! Throughout the entire planning process, Christy and her staff were very accessible and full of helpful ideas and suggestions. They took care of all the details and made sure we were not at all stressed during the process. We also hosted a dessert and cocktail welcome party for the out of town guests, and Tampa Palms did an excellent job with it! The upstairs suites are an added bonus, making it convenient and stress-free for bridal party, family, and guests. Every couple should consider Tampa Palms for an amazing wedding!
Christy Bowen was above and beyond amazing. She truly cares about her brides and sincerely wants to see everything through to perfection.
We found out that Tampa Palms would be undergoing construction during the time of our wedding, but they ensured that everything was buttoned up beautifully for the day of our ceremony and reception.
I visited about 10 venues before I found the one at Tampa Palms! They has everything I was looking for, I had a very specific vision in mind and they truly let me customize everything! Christy, the coordinator there, is amazing!!! My dream was to have an outdoor ceremony and reception, TPGCC had never done an outdoor wedding reception there, but you would have never known, it was absolutely gorgeous! We held our ceremony on the golf lawn in front of the fountain, cocktail hour on the other side of the lawn, and then reception under the veranda. Food was great, the venue has a small Inn of 25 rooms, which we blocked off and it was like having the whole venue to ourselves (which I guess we did!). We also hosted a brunch the following morning which was delish!
Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club could not be a better wedding venue! If you are looking for a great "Floridian Feel" you will find it here.
My husband and I were blessed to work with Christy Bowen, their Private Events Coordinator, and you will love her from the very start! She is absolutely wonderful from beginning to end, covering every detail and answering my millions of phone calls (I felt like I had my own Wedding Planner!) and she always did everything with a smile! It gives me goosebumps to write about her and Tampa Palms because they really did go above and beyond. If you are the hands on type of bride, like myself, then you will not be disappointed. They were there to answer all of my questions and accommodate to everything my husband and I could have ever desired...and this is all before the actual wedding!
The day of was magnificent. I didn't worry for a single second as I knew Christy and her staff had it all under control. Christy and the rest of the Tampa Palms staff didn't just help put our wedding together, they were a part of it and it wouldn't have been the same without them :) We are so grateful for all the lifetime memories they have provided us. From a beautiful venue to their amazing hospitality, Tampa Palms is the place for you to go if you want to do your wedding the RIGHT way!
My friends hosted my bridal shower at the Tampa Palms Golf Course. The room that overlooked the golf course was perfect and beautiful. My shower was truly high class and elegant, which was exactly what I wanted. The service was wonderful and the food was great.
My wedding day at tampa palms was exactly what I pictured and dreamed it could ever be!! From the minute I drove into this venue , seeing the pretty hanging moss off the trees, along with their beautiful golf course, and exquisite outdoor patio (which is where the ceremony took place) I knew this was the place I wanted to get married. The hotel itself was a dream come true , my bridesmaids and myself could not have felt more pampered in these gigantic rooms!! The coordinator that helped throughout the entire wedding went above and beyond for us, being very flexible, suggested great ideas,was very organized, helped us with last minute details, and was a great leader on the day! She was simply fantastic and so helpful to us. The staff was excellent, helped us with everything and anything we needed. Many of my guests including myself and my husband loved the food, and appetizers! Everything was all in place on my wedding day, I felt extremely comfortable on my wedding day not one thing was not done that I wanted. I would highly recommend this place to any bride you just cannot go wrong with tampa palms country club!!
My husband and I went to many different venues and we fell in love with the atmosphere and surrounding area. our wedding coordinatorm Christie, was soo awesome!!! Food was great, and everything was included, like the linen, chairs, food, and cake!
Christy Bowen, TPGCC event coordinator, did an awesome job with everything. She was super friendly and had a great eye for decor. She always had suggestions of what would look nice and it was a pleasure working with her. Christy was prompt in answering emails and all the questions I threw her way. She was so willing to accommodate all my requests and specifications. Any bride should consider herself in good hands with Christy and the TPGCC staff.
Christy is an amazing person. I didn't have a wedding planner and she was heaven sent to me. I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day and it was beautiful. She even helped out with my 11month old son. We are so appreciative for her and the whole Tampa Palms Golf and Country Staff they all were amazing.
Our wedding was a huge success, due in large part to the folks at Tampa Palms G&CC. Everything was went smoothly and was relaxed. No worries as everything was handled just perfectly. Food was fantastic. Our expectations were exeeded. Private Events Director Christy is the best! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I can honestly say that when we began planning our wedding, a country club wedding was not in our initial vision. After a suggestion from my aunt and uncle who are members at Tampa Palms, we decided to go and check it out, and luck for us that we did. After meeting with the wedding event coordinator, Christy, and viewing the property, our minds were made up. The property is beautiful and picturesque. We held all of our events at the club, including the bridesmaid luncheon, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception, all were beautiful and fun, and Christy was there to help us every step of the way.
I have to give special praise to Christy. Everyone told me that a day of coordinator would be a must since my mom, aunt and I were doing most of the planning, but I was lucky enough to find a venue that had an event coordinator, and one of the best I might add. Christy was constantly in touch with all of us to keep everything on track and all of the details organized. She always had a smile and I never felt like a pest, even though I know I was. The weather for the rehearsal and the wedding was terrible, and many of our guests and wedding party were late for both, but Christy never started before everyone was there, and we never felt rushed. She is a huge asset and I believe that our wedding was amazing largely due to her help and support.
As I mentioned the weather was terrible, with rain, wind, lightening, and a tropical storm that blew in two days later. But even with all of that, we were still able to have the outdoor ceremony we wanted. Christy promised us that there was no contingency plan for a reason and even in the pouring rain we were married on the beautiful covered terrace, and no one go wet. The club member were even kind enough to move the arbor that was almost blown over prior to the wedding, and then moved it back when the rain lightened up.
The club itself was gorgeous and I can not wait to see the pictures. There was no detail left un attended. Everything was clean and beautiful, even up to our high standards!! The staff for the events were amazing as well. So friendly and helpful through the whole process. Everyone prepared us that we would not eat, but the amazing staff kept our food covered and warm until we could at least taste it and then brought left over boxes to our room so we could have a late night meal in our honeymoon suite up stairs. And thank goodness we were able to try the food, no "wedding chicken" here. The chef was fantastic for all of the events and we received many complements on the food.
There was nothing that we would have changed or improved. Tampa Palms was amazing with the help of the fantastic coordinator Christy. I would recommend this venue and am so glad that it was ours!!
My daughter wanted a "Charleston, SC wedding" in a Tampa location! How could I make this happen? First, I hired a wedding planner who immediately suggested Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club. It only took one visit to see how beautiful the Verandah would be to have the wedding ceremony; the gardens to accomodate a coctail hour and the Grand Ballroom which is spacious enough to accomodate all our guests along with a dance floor.
Working with Christy allowed us to plan the dream wedding for our daughter. We were able to bring Charleston to Tampa by way of music, decorations, flowers, wedding attire, and a custom menu.
The executive chef customized the entire menu which was cooked and served to perfection! The wait staff was extremely efficient and attentive to the needs of our guests. One waiter was assigned to attend to the wedding party immediately after the ceremony and to the bride and groom the entire evening!
The hotel staff was extremely helpful during the check-in process, and the bridal suite was very accomodating for the female attendants to prepare for the day's activities.
The balcony afforded a beautiful location to take pictures before the ceremony outside of the guests' view!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Christy during the past year. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to detail was present from the time we signed the contract, to the day of the wedding, and then after.
I don't think I could have asked for anything better!
Tampa Palms was the perfect location for my Charleston inspired wedding! I was born in Charleston and still consider it so much to be my home. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted my wedding in Charleston with its huge trees, moss, and overall setting, but Tampa Palms was a perfect substitute. From day one, their customer service was phenomenal. I originally booked my wedding with Jeanelle, but Christy took over soon after. Christy was absolutely fabulous! She was very hospitable and no request was too much. She did everything with such enthusiasm! She made sure everything from the smallest detail was exactly the way I wanted it; from the menu (which I was extremely particular about), to the decor, and flow of the evening. The food was fabulous! The chef actually made a visit during the tasting to make sure everything came out exactly as I had asked. The bridal suite they provided was very spacious and had plenty of room for my bridal party and women of the family to get ready. The balcony was a fabulous place for taking pictures prior to the ceremony. All of my guests raved about the evening, everything from the food, the location, and how much fun they had. The staff at Tampa Palms was fabulous from day one as well. Before beginning my planning, I had three separate people suggest Tampa Palms for my ceremony and reception location, and I am so happy I listened! I have absolutely no regrets and would recommend anyone who is planning an event to check out this location!
Christy was amazing and I loved and enjoyed working with her!
We had a medium sized wedding of around 150. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony and reception here, which made it so convenient for out of towners. On top of that they have 25 suites there, which we completely occupied as well. They do their own food, which is fabulous, and you don't have to find a caterer, and they do their own linens. It is pretty much a one stop shop, and they are very flexible to make sure you are getting exactly what they want. Christy is amazing, she makes all of your desires come to fruition, and she is super easy to work with.
My original appeal to Tampa Palms was the convenience of having so much of the planning process under the same roof, by the same vendor... and in hindsight, I couldn't have made a better decision! Jeannelle was absolutely priceless!! She helped me coordinate virtually each and every detail and was there the day of to make certain that things ran smoothly. She had tons of experience to offer advice from, which was a blessing since it had been over 30 years since my family had planned a wedding. I can't enough about how much a truly appreciated her services. In addition, the entire staff at Tampa Palms was more than friendly. The chef, the concierge, the waitstaff, the hotel manager.. the list goes on and on.
They did everything they could to make sure everything ran smoothly that day. Thank you!
We searched high and low for a location for our wedding ceremony and reception. Not only did we love the location, we also loved the wedding coordinator Jeannelle. In fact, having Jeannelle as our wedding coordinator made Tampa Palms the best option, by far. Tampa Palms also has FABULOUS food options and our guests loved their dinner! I personally appreciated the ability to get ready at Tampa Palms with my bridesmaids. We took our time and didn't feel rushed. You really should consider Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club as a location for your ceremony and reception!
Miranda's Verandah was every bit as beautiful as I had imagined. She was so helpful with the plans. Day of my wedding her Assistant took over and was there to greet us. She did a fantastic job as well as the waiters.;She is very busy and sometimes you have to leave messages when you would really like to 'speak with her' so that was annoying.
