The Orlo is a stunning restored venue in West Tampa housed inside a 1903 Moorish Revival mansion, one of the neighborhood's most architecturally exuberant historic buildings. The mansion's original horseshoe arches, hand-painted ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and wraparound porch have been preserved and supplemented with a modern event courtyard and lawn. Indoor spaces accommodate up to 175 guests with vintage chandeliers and original terrazzo floors setting a mood of faded glamour, while the garden courtyard and patio extend the evening outdoors under string lights and mature trees. The Orlo is a favorite among couples who want a venue that tells a genuine story — one rooted in Tampa's rich cultural history.
