Your Tampa Museum of Art Wedding Experience
Set along the edge of the Hillsborough River with views of downtown Tampa, Tampa Museum of Art is one of the area’s most unique wedding destinations. Originally designed as a neutral canvas, where the artwork on display is the focal point, the building itself is a modern architectural marvel with a shimmering pierced aluminum exterior, innovative translucent ceilings, expansive glass walls and state-of-the-art gallery spaces. Within these walls, each wedding space has its own persona and allure, offering distinct experiences, while allowing your wedding to flow naturally, creating an event that feels connected from the first moment to the last. From the ceremony to cocktails and the reception, guests move, mingle, explore and are part of the entire experience, not simply attendees. In each space and throughout your wedding, every moment has been thoughtfully considered and planned with intention, giving you the freedom to create a celebration that is completely your own.
Exchange vows on the first-floor terrace, a beautiful space where the river and downtown Tampa come together to create spectacular views and a picture-perfect setting for saying “I do”.

Enjoy an intimate cocktail hour with your closest friends and family as you soak in the glow of the stunning sunset and the heartfelt wishes for your new life together. Then, descend down the central staircase in the Atrium to make a cinematic entrance as newlyweds. Take in the beauty of the space, with its soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and inspiring modern art. All of it enhanced by your flowers, decor, place settings and the personal touches that make this wedding all you. Relish the first bite of the meal you’ve dreamed about since that first tasting. Dance the night away alongside your ride or dies. Sip champagne as loved ones share toasts and stories, filling the room with love and laughter. Every minute, thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed and undeniably unlike any other.
