Epicurean Hotel

We absolutely loved working with the Epicurean Hotel for our wedding in November! Our venue coordinator Nicole M. helped us the entire year, met with us multiple times, and emailed consistently. Wedding weekend from check in to check out was amazing and the staff at the hotel was so kind, welcoming, attentive and overall so professional. Our guests had an amazing time from the rooms to food and drinks. The Garden Terrace under the tent was perfect for our ceremony and reception - the event team flipped it beautifully. We wish we could do it all again and can't recommend this venue/location enough!

The Epicurean Hotel absolutely saved my wedding. When the hurricanes hit Tampa, I had to find new last minute accommodations for 30+ people. Not only is the hotel beautiful, they happily helped us pivot our plans to the hotel last minute for us and all of our guests. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. I am forever thankful for the Epicurean Hotel and its staff.

We could not have picked a better wedding venue to host our family and closest friends for our wedding weekend. From the very beginning the team at Epicurean welcomed us with open arms and gave us an incredible tour. They answered all questions we had in a professional and timely manner. The Epicurean team went above and beyond to help any of our wedding guests if they were having issues with booking their rooms online. They ensured they got the room block discount, as well as made any adjustments if our guests needed to change their booking in any way. We also requested that welcome gifts be sent to each room. They were delivered successfully, without a hitch. When we went to our wedding tasting, we were blown away with the service and attention to detail regarding the food at our wedding. They listened to everything we had to say about what we tried, and tweaked the menu in the smallest ways to make sure what we served on our wedding day would be perfect. We told Epicurean the most important detail to us was to make sure the food at our wedding was the best wedding food our guests could ever had. They absolutely succeeded because we’re still hearing from our guests how amazing all the food was. We had our welcome party in the Epicurean theatre, our cocktail hour on the pool deck, and our reception on the terrace. Each of these venues were stunning and they came out wonderfully in our photos. We especially loved the Epicurean theatre, because it is such a unique venue that provides a lovely social gathering space for all things food. We had a couple unique ideas for our wedding, and Epicurean was beyond accommodating with our wishes. My husband and I wanted to have a private dinner separate from our wedding guests. On wedding day, they went out of their way to set up the private dinner in our suite with candles, flower petals, photos, and more. On our first date, we got pancakes, so we asked Epicurean if we could have a pancake bar at our welcome party. Again, without hesitation, they set up a full service pancake bar, with all the toppings, in the Epicurean theatre. My husband’s father passed away when he was young. Some of his core memories of his father are cooking and baking with him. During the wedding planning process, we found his hand written flan recipe. In lieu of a traditional wedding cake for our dessert, we wanted to have his flan served to our guests. We asked Epicurean if they would make it, and they took on the project once again without hesitation. Both the flan and the pancakes were absolutely delicious! The service provided from Epicurean to us and our guests through the entire process was unmatched, and they are truly the perfect example of what the word hospitality means. On wedding weekend, the Epicurean staff got to know us as the bride and groom, and were so kind to all of our guests who were there to celebrate with us. Our guests continuously boasted about how kind the service was over the weekend, from bartenders, front desk staff, housecleaning, you name it. We can’t wait to go back to Epicurean to reminisce on our wedding day, and we can’t wait to see the expansion of the hotel to make it even better. We would recommend Epicurean to any couple getting married, and even more-so the staff and Epicurean team that made it happen.

I seriously cannot put into words how PERFECT our wedding was thanks to the entire Epicurean staff, and of course Fatima from their events team. WOW…. Our wedding was truly a fairytale. From booking, to constant communication and flexibility, Fatima made it so easy to bring my vision to life. As a bride AND the wedding planner, it can be easy to get stressed during the planning process, but Fatima was patient and extremely accommodating, I trusted she would execute everything flawlessly- which she and her team did. We booked a suite for the weekend festivities and from the second we stepped onto the property, we were greeted and assisted to our rooms by their entire valet and front desk staff. We felt SO comfortable calling and requesting anything we needed and the staff literally met every need. It was truly such an incredible experience, and we highly recommend the Epicurean for any stay, event or wedding. THANK YOU!
