My lovely bride Denise chose Cater Tampa Bay to cater her intimate wedding here and mannn was my tummy happy. But not only is the food deliiiish, the staff was kind too! They have plated options and buffet style and have been serving the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years. Aside from catering in food you also have the option to hire the coolest bartending service ever like Hub Tap. They are a mobile all inclusive event bartending service and let me tell you… they BRING the party! Just peep their reviews! And also offer photo booth options! And the tunes were perfection… whats a party without a good DJ throwin down booty shaking, head bangin singing along songs. Bohav brought the party!

What Is A Intimate Wedding?

Whether it’s a small venue, a cool fun destination in a airbnb, or even your property. Ditching big & tradition and going for a more cozy intimate wedding is all the rage right now. The average size wedding is considered 75-150 guests so keeping the guest list under 75 is perfect to keep the feeling of intimacy on your special day. 

The biggest reason couples are choosing intimate weddings is.. less stress. Weddings do not have to be stressful. 

I repeat they do NOT have to be stressful. 

If in your gut you wanna keep it small with your nearest and dearest – do it. If you want a huge party with ALL your peeps – do it. It’s YOUR day. Have it YOUR way.

By keeping it intimate couples are able to invite their closests friends + fam allowing them to connect and be present and intentional with their time and their guests BUT also with one another 🫶🏼 And maybe you’re not a person who likes the spot light then this low key vibe of an I Do is definitely for you. 

However!

An intimate wedding doesn’t aways mean cheaper. Instead it means you can splurge on other things! It’s all in the details details details such as quality florals and decor to set the vibe and atmosphere, beautiful personalized touches to sprinkle around like signature cocktails or hand written welcomes to each guest, that photographer you’ve been eyeing, or skip that bland chicken and steak option and cater from that bomb ass restaurant the whole towns been raving about. 

Having a smaller wedding allows your connection and gratitude for your guests to be felt on a deeper level and it’s also a chance to let the details of your soul shine in quality touches, in the creativity of from venue, to florals, decor, food selection and photographs of your special day. 

So if intimate weddings are your thang, they’re my thang too – click here to be friends – I am here to capture the beauty of your vision, the joy for your new beginning, and the beauty of your union and connection. Tampa Bay has it going on with this venue!
