THE ITALIAN CLUB | 3rd Annual TIE THE KNOT EVENT | TAMPA, FL

Thank you The Italian Club of Tampa for including Limelight Photography as a preferred partner for Tie the Knot Ybor event! 

Brides and grooms rode a trolley ride around historic Ybor city to visit six beautiful wedding venues with their roots in building Tampa Bay. They tasted food from the area’s best caterers, met with wedding planners and entertainment professionals, all on one Thursday afternoon in August.

The Italian Club, three-story building, founded over 100 years ago, is an architectural masterpiece laced with elegance and historic beauty. Perfectly located in the historic district of Ybor City, this beautifully restored, classically elegant building provides the perfect venue for someone looking for an all-in-one facility.  They offer three distinctive rooms, each with a personality and style of their own.  The building has three levels; the Cantina on the first floor, the Theater on the second floor and the Grand Ballroom on the third floor. With three floors of event space, The Italian Club has the unique appeal of being able to accommodate a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in three separate locations, all with a cultivated charm of their own.

The Italian Club | Tie the Knot Event | Tampa, FL

We LOVED being a part of the amazing “Tie the Knot” event in Ybor City! 🤩📸 We were honored to photograph the entire setup at the Italian Club as well as showcase at this beautiful & historic venue. 🇮🇹 

The Italian Club immersed guests in the entire wedding experience.  Each floor represented different aspects of a wedding day. For example, the first floor was similar to a cocktail hour, the second floor centered around the ceremony, and finally the third floor was all about the reception! ✨ Each floor had different vendors who showcased their specialty which allowed brides & grooms to walk through and talk to each vendor. The Italian Club was decorated oh so beautifully with a Tuscan & elegant theme. 🤍 What a joy it was to meet so many beautiful brides & grooms and work with all of these amazing vendors who made this day possible!
