The 10 Best Tampa Wedding Venues

1. The Oxford Exchange

The Oxford Exchange is one of the best wedding venues in downtown Tampa. It is unique in that its a combination of a bookstore, a restaurant and a wedding venue. It is an interesting mix of aesthetics being part industrial and part art deco. It is located just steps away from the University of Tampa and close to hotels nearby for guests. Aside from the stunning decor, I can personally recommend the food here as well – its some of the best food in Tampa.
