The Poynter Institute was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! So much is included for such a fantastic price! The space is so incredibly beautiful, we did not feel the need to do much in the way of decor. Additionally, its location in downtown St Pete and proximity to hotels, restaurants, bars, and more, was absolutely perfect for our guests, since the majority were from out of town. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and incredibly responsive! It was great to support a local nonprofit organization that also does a lot for our local community. I cannot recommend The Poynter Institute enough!
