Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Megan and the entire team at The Fenway Hotel made our wedding experience unforgettable. We chose The Fenway for its unique charm as a boutique hotel, the stunning rooftop bar, and its perfect location right on the water, with easy walking access to Downtown Dunedin. It turned out to be the ideal spot for our wedding, offering breathtaking views, a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, and a perfect spot for guests to mingle at sunset. Megan was an absolute star and played an essential role in making our wedding day everything we envisioned. The planning process was full of details, but Megan was always organized, supportive, and made sure every aspect came together smoothly. We did run into a few minor billing issues, but Megan worked swiftly with the Marriott team (shoutout to Mitchell) to resolve them, ensuring the whole experience was stress-free for us. The large suite provided by the hotel was perfect for getting ready on the big day, and the rooftop bar was the ideal place for our first look. Our guests had such an amazing time at the wedding, and Megan’s attention to detail ensured that everything ran perfectly. We’re convinced that without her, we couldn’t have done it! Marriott managers, if you’re listening, Megan deserves a raise—she’s truly exceptional inside and out. The outdoor ceremony was stunning, and Megan offered us multiple setup options to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. The cocktail patio, with delicious appetizers like mini grilled cheeses, empanadas, and mini chicken and waffles, was perfect at sunset and received high praise from our guests. The dinner was phenomenal, especially the short rib, and we were thrilled with the variety of food options, which were all customizable and delicious. The bar service was top-notch, and our guests had a blast. Many of them who stayed at the hotel mentioned how much they loved the amenities like the pool, valet service, and the ability to rent bikes to explore Downtown Dunedin. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar, Hi-Fi, where we had an informal welcome party the night before the wedding. The bartenders at both Hi-Fi and the lobby bar were so kind and accommodating, even when we got a bit rowdy. We can’t wait to return to The Fenway Hotel in December and relive the memories of our special day. If you’re looking for a venue for your wedding, we highly recommend The Fenway—it’s a 10/10 experience!

Seffner, FL
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,200

2026 dates available!!! Flora Groves is a family-owned, backyard-style wedding venue set on 40 peaceful acres in Florida. Our land has been in the family since the 1940s, when my great-grandfather first planted it as an orange grove. It’s now been passed down through four generations, and today, it's where we host weddings that feel grounded, personal, and full of heart. When my husband and I decided to get married, we knew the farm was the perfect place. We didn’t bring in a team or outside investors, we built it ourselves, with the help of close friends and family. Every path, fence, and detail was handcrafted with care. It was a big project, but one that means the world to us, and became the place we got married! Now, we’re proud to share this space with other couples. If you're looking for a quiet, natural, and one-of-a-kind setting that feels truly personal, Flora Groves might be the perfect fit. It’s a place with history, heart, and room to make it your own.

I recently hosted my event at Flora Groves Farms and it was absolutely stunning! The space is gorgeous, with so many beautiful details — the butterfly garden was such a magical touch and made for the perfect backdrop. I also loved that we had access to their tents, umbrellas and tables, which made setup so seamless. Jada, the owner, was incredible to work with — she went above and beyond to help with planning and made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend this venue more for anyone looking for a dreamy, well-run space to host their special event!
