From 'Yes' to 'I Do'

Your wedding isn't just a single day; it's a series of unforgettable moments that lead to your "I do." In the heart of Tampa's vibrant Water Street district, the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street and Tampa Marriott Water Street stand side-by-side (and connected by a glass skybridge) to offer a seamless, luxurious destination for every chapter of your love story.

Whether you envision a modern, high-energy celebration or a classic, waterfront romance, our collection of venues provides the perfect backdrop for your entire wedding journey.

    The Engagement Party: Host your first official celebration in the SkyView Lobby Bar, a four-story glass "box" suspended above the JW Marriott lobby—perfect for an intimate, ultra-modern cocktail reception.

    Waterfront Romance: Exchange vows on the Terrace Room patio, overlooking the marina, or choose the Florida Ballroom at the Tampa Marriott for classic views of the sparkling bay.

    The Modern Vibe: Utilize the sleek, architectural lines of the JW Marriott for a contemporary "city-chic" aesthetic that requires little decoration to look stunning.

  • The Farewell

    The Post-Wedding Brunch and Recap

    Cap off the weekend with a relaxed farewell brunch. Our waterfront terraces allow your guests to soak in the Florida sunshine one last time as they toast to the new newlyweds. With the Tampa Riverwalk just steps away, your guests can enjoy a weekend of exploration, from Sparkman Wharf to the Florida Aquarium, all within walking distance.
