Our wedding at The Addison was a truly memorable evening. Jessica and the entire Addison staff made the planning process so enjoyable and ensured the evening was perfect down to the last detail! The food was delicious, service was impeccable and atmosphere was amazing. The Addison was able to host our wedding with COVID protocols in place so all of our guests felt comfortable to enjoy their evening. To say that our guests are still raving about the night would be an understatement!

I loved everything about it!! The only reason we didn’t get it was because they didn’t have our date available but the location, the food, everything was exceptional!

The Addison was the perfect fit for our wedding. The options they have for different weddings is extensive. I recommend using their preferred vendors - they are all fantastic. After months and months of planning my wedding, the Addison made sure my dreams came true! I felt like a true queen that day.

The Addison is a beautiful establishment! Amy was awesome and very detailed... 5 star establishment with 5 star service!!

The Addison was the first of a few venues I saw and left a lasting impression. I knew it was the one as soon as I walked through, its absolutely magical. I was so lucky to work with Jessica who was an absolute gem. She worked so hard to help me create a very unique menu that the Addison had never done before, and it was perfection. I could not be happier with how our special day went. They made the planning process so seamless. The staff at the Addison were all so kind and courteous, a special thank you to Aliya who kept everything organized and made sure my husband & I were taken care of the night of. Truly had the most magical wedding thanks to the Addison!

The Addison helped us put on an absolutely beautiful wedding. Every detail was taken into consideration, Stephany as wedding concierge, Grace as coordinator and the entire staff at The Addison helped to ensure that the day ran as smooth as possible. The food was phenomenal, everything just came together so well that we will remember this day for the rest of our lives. Thank you for helping us put on our wedding despite all obstacles.

The entire process of working with the Addison was a dream! Due to COVID we had to change dates/wedding size and Helene and her team went above and beyond to give us an absolutely magical day. Helene is a miracle worker and truly has the bride’s interest at heart. The entire staff was so kind and professional and the food is unmatched!

The Addison did an amazing job with our wedding! From our first visit to the day of the wedding, The Addison staff was helpful through all of it (especially covid). I worked with Grace and she did a great job in making sure the day ran smoothly. Guests are still raving over the beautiful ceremony under the banyan trees, as well as the amazing food. I’m still dreaming about the food!! HAHA.

It is hard to imagine a more perfect a venue. It is gorgeous with the ceremony taking place under a huge banyan tree. The food was delicious and plentiful. Jessica our coordinator was so patient with all of the changes due to Covid. Every member of the staff went above and beyond!

One of the most amazing things to come out of 2020 was getting the call from the Addison to ask if I was still looking for a venue for my Wedding in December. When my original plans fell through because of COVID, I called the Addison and spoke with Allison. Because of the time of year, they were already booked up with corporate holiday parties. I explained to her my situation and asked her to give me a call if any availability came up for my date. Because of the circumstances, I wasn't expecting a call back. Time went on and then one day I got a call from Grace. She said "Allison had your name and date on a post-it on her desk and your date is now available!". I literally could not believe my ears. If it weren't for Allison, my wedding would have been completely different and honestly, not as amazing. Thank goodness for that post-it and for Allison! From the moment I spoke to Grace she was so incredibly patient with me as I scrambled to change my plans and digest the idea that I w... Read moreas going to have the Addison for my big day! I couldn't sign the contract fast enough! The moment my husband and I walked in we were completely speechless. We toured the venue on a rainy day and it was still breathtaking! It's so gorgeous and it feels like a Fairytale sanctuary. You're immersed with the greenery and beautiful architecture. Absolutely stunning! Grace was very flexible and responsive to all my emails/requests. I was never left waiting for days like I had experienced with some other venues. She took my calls and helped me every step of the way. She made GREAT recommendations from food to DJ to Videography. She really provided me with the guidance I needed to make my day AMAZING! The day of the wedding was nothing short of 5 star service from start to finish. Jessica was my personal attendant and I cannot say enough about her. She was with me and helped me with so many things. Even some odd requests like "do you have deodorant?!" My personal tip to anyone getting married, keep it close because it's a long day. Jessica delivered! Kevin was also amazing. He assisted with the reception and checked-in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we had drinks and our steaks were prepared the way we liked. He even jumped in and took some pictures with our personal phones. The attention to detail with the staff is on point! So the food. WOW! WOW! WOW! My guests could not stop talking about the food! Even to this day we hear "wow those appetizers were phenomenal!" The drinks, delicious! We had an amazing experience at the Addison. Nothing went wrong. There's nothing I would go back and change. They really took care of us. I was able to sit back and relax because I knew they had everything under control. Everything was 5 star quality. They really know what they're doing. They are the BEST in the business for a reason! Highly recommend!

Venue: The venue is as stunning in real life as it is in all the pictures. I can’t really say more than that. The “Wow” factor is real. Major kudos to the entire staff of The Addison for being to be able to handle the Covid-19 protocols and safety measures with such grace and style that it doesn’t take away from whatever event you’re having. Even in our ballroom we were socially distanced but it doesn’t feel like it. All the staff stayed masked, gloved, and extremely professional. Our guests felt very safe. Food: I think the only thing outshining me (the Bride) at our wedding was the food!!! Oh my goodness, they do not disappoint! Jessica and Max really helped to put together an amazing menu that wowed our guests. We were able to request a specific wine that we really love and make sure that we had a vegetarian option for our daughter. The appetizers (get the lamp chops!), the salad (get the spinach salad with goat cheese!) Sea Bass, and Filet disappeared so quickly you ... Read morewould have thought our guests hadn’t eaten in days! We even worked out a little late night menu with Mini Rueben’s, Chicken Sliders, and French Fries. Make sure you do a tasting before the wedding. It is worth it. We decided on things we hadn’t considered before simply because the taste was phenomenal and the presentation adorable. Service: The Addison hires some of the best people I’ve ever seen in the service industry. The bartenders and servers were like Ninjas. They magically reappeared to fill glasses, clear plates, and make sure every guest was attended to. My personal bridal concierge for the evening was a pure angel named Jennifer. She was ready at every corner with ice water, a fan(!!!!), and cocktails if we wanted. Appetizers appeared in the suite so we didn’t miss out. She also managed to schlep my train all over the property for all the shots the photographer wanted to take. Somehow she was never without a glass of champagne at the ready for us and balancing my 15lb bouquet all with a smile and a laugh. She was a blessing!! Planner/Coordinator: Jessica was our planner and I can’t possibly put into enough words how fantastic she was throughout the whole process! We never once felt pressured to pick anything we didn’t want/need/or wasn’t our style. Instead, Jessica guided us into finding exactly what we wanted and helped us create the most beautiful wedding of our dreams. As a second wedding for both of us, we knew what we wanted and came armed with firm ideas of colors, menu wants and needs, and Pinterest goals that we attainable. She understood our need to keep our wedding fall themed without going down the pumpkin and burlap route. We ended up with the most gorgeous linens, place settings, and menus to match. Throughout the whole process Jess was always available by phone or email. I’m sure she probably had a million other brides she was attending to, but she always managed to make my husband and I always feel as if she were our own personal coordinator! Cost: You get what you pay for. No matter what size your wedding (ours was less than 30 people) Jessica and Max and everyone in the office will work to lay out exactly what each piece of the process costs. There is no hidden agenda or add on fees. They work very hard to be transparent on the costs of each ballroom, evening versus afternoon wedding, and menu choices. You can have a lovely and simple event that is equally as fantastic as a 200 person extravaganza. There is no way you can go wrong in booking with The Addison. A small or large or event will be gorgeous and you will feel spoiled as a client or a guest. The budget is up to you and they will do their best to work with it. You will not feel pressured to make a wrong or costly choice. 

When first looking at venues, my fiancé (now husband) was immediately inthralled with The Addison, but at the time I’d been so dazed by the many locations we looked at that I went in less convinced. As soon as we stepped on the property, you see these beautiful big banyan trees that are over 100 years old in the middle of this beautiful courtyard. We went up to the offices and were met by Helene. Within an hour of touring, she had done her magic and we were ready to sign on the dotted line! She gave us a full folder with all of our information broken down and put us down for our date well over a year in advance. Even though Covid hit, she kept in constant contact and answered every one of our annoying questions in order to calm us of our decision to move forward with our wedding. As our guest count dwindled due to the pandemic, she helped us find ways to reallocate the money to ensure we had the best night. Throughout the night, Helene and her team ran like a well oiled ... Read moremachine and kept everything in order to the best of their ability. The food was amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue. After the year 2020 had been, I’m thankful to have been able to have the best part of it spent at The Addison.

WOW – there are so many amazing things to say about the Addison and the staff that helped make my wedding the most beautiful and memorable night! They are so professional, organized, and detail-oriented and they really do have wedding planning down to perfection! I would have not trusted any other venue to do a COVID wedding – I felt very safe – they were so meticulous with every safety detail. They were always available for questions and even Zoe the director of the Addison took the time to have a one on one meeting with us to review safety measures in detail. I felt very reassured and actually excited to move forward knowing it was not going to be a typical wedding but accepting and embracing the iconic historical moment knowing I could trust them completely! They made everything so easy to plan, with preferred vendors, and they had the most attentive staff. Initially, I had Amy as our wedding coordinator, she was fantastic and actually personally called me to let me know she ... Read morewas leaving the Addison and did a “hand off” to my new coordinator Jessica who was also fantastic! They took care of every detail including setting up zoom on a huge TV screen so I could actually see my virtual guests and I was able to speak to them before heading to the reception. It actually rained on my wedding day so original plans of doing the ceremony outside under the banyan trees were moved to indoors, but the moment I walked down the aisle I was in utter joy and happiness, everything was still just as beautiful as I imagined! The day of, Jennifer, the bridal concierge was helping me the entire time, making sure we had endless drinks and food so I was actually able to eat EVERYTHING on my wedding day! Due to the rain it was quite humid though I was able to look so fresh and radiant for my pictures as she walked out with a tray of napkins to blot my face, a fan to keep me cool, and water! VIP treatment you guys! Ray also was helping us so calm and cordial. I was also able to play a personal video and perform a surprise dance routine! Every meal and appetizer was personally delivered to us with the drink of our choice at every turn of the wedding so we were actually able to enjoy and eat our food. I mean wedding of my dreams, everyone had a blast, and no one got COVID!

As much as I wanted my wedding to be at The Addison, I’m glad it wasn’t. I felt so bad for my people Sarah and Ashley because they did go above and beyond for me. But, They nickel and dime you for every single thing. Including if you wanted your napkins a different color. PLEASE do not make the mistake I made. Get an ITEMIZED estimate. They charge a 23% service charge on your min that’ll equal THOUSANDS if not TENS OF THOUSANDS! I cancelled my wedding with the Addison, in which they changed the amount of my cancellation fee from one contract to another and changed the policy. My fiancée and I lost NINE (9) THOUSAND DOLLARS. Even though they already had another wedding booked the same day. I had asked the VP that if someone booked for the same date and time if we’d could get our remaining back, due to the fact that a cancellation fee is there for the fact they’re not able to rebook that day. I guess could see into the future because she responded with “that time will not b... Read moree booked, I promise you that”. When I told people about my story, the VP called me basically threatening me stating “that if I tried and ruin the reputation of the Addison that they’d do whatever is necessary to protect themselves“. I’m simply stating what happened in my experience within the Addison. Then they had their employees join local (Tampa) wedding groups that I was in randomly and then leave after an hour, basically making sure I wasn’t posting anything about them on social media. They also had the audacity to have someone WHO WAS NOT ON MY CONTRACT try and control my overpayment and not have myself and my fiancée refunded! Please BE AWARE of all fees and how much they are! Especially if you’re like myself and my fiancée who are young and hard working! It’s beautiful venue, but it’s not worth the cost. And before your response says what I say isn't factual, like all of the rest of your responses, here's the response to that. Did you give me an itemized list of pricing? No. Did you VP call and basically threaten me? Yep. Did you allow someone not within the contract to control my overpayment refund? Yep. Did you have your staff add themselves to TAMPA wedding groups that I'm apart of? Yep. Do you upcharge for different color napkins outside of black and white? Yep. Did you have another wedding booked for Oct 20th 2019? Yep. Did the service charge equal to 7k+ dollars? yes. So what am I not being truthful about? Please don't call me a liar when I'm not. Again, if you're not rich, they simply don't want you.
