The Vinoy Renaissance is one of St. Petersburg's most magnificent landmarks — a 1925 Spanish Mediterranean National Historic Landmark on Tampa Bay's downtown waterfront, where a full private marina, outdoor ceremony lawn, multiple grand ballrooms, and a meticulously restored historic interior create a wedding setting of unparalleled elegance on Florida's Gulf Coast. The Vinoy's combination of prime waterfront location in the heart of St. Petersburg's thriving arts and restaurant district, historic architectural grandeur, and Marriott-level event infrastructure makes it the first choice for couples seeking a prestigious, memorable Tampa Bay area wedding with easy walking access to the city's world-class cultural venues.
