About this venue
Located in downtown St. Pete – The Birchwood is a boutique hotel that is ideal for couples looking for a modern and timeless venue setting. The elegance in this historic wedding venue can be seen throughout their 1920's inspired vintage glam décor, award-winning rooftop lounge, and chic design. The five-story Spanish Mission-style building sits at a prime location on Beach Drive, overlooking the picturesque St. Pete Pier, Straub Park, and Tampa Bay. The historic inn underwent a major renovation in 2013 and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, as well as a historic landmark in St. Petersburg. The remodel included an upscale rooftop bar and lounge, The Canopy, that offers breathtaking views of downtown St. Pete's waterfront, making it an ideal cocktail hour and after-hours hotspot.

Gorgeous views, delicious food & a fabulous party!
We highly recommend The Birchwood! Our reception had 123 guests and the ballroom was the perfect size for that guest count -- it felt intimate but not crowded. Everything was so organized down the tiniest details, which resulted in a well run and amazing party. From the beautiful built in bar to the balcony to the top tier food to the gorgeous view on the rooftop for cocktail hour, the night flew by because of how much fun we had. We got great feedback from our guests on the venue too! It is also a gorgeous space that can accommodate many different decor styles but that doesn't need a lot of "extra" decor to look beautiful, which was helpful to me as someone who would be intimidated by a full DIY space but appreciated the flexibility to pick a theme that suited us. It's a venue that photographs very well! Finally and most importantly, the staff are so helpful and professional. We worked with Marlice and Claire for most of our planning process and they were both so organized, responsive and kind. For example, on our final walkthrough, Marlice stayed for extra time to watch us practice our first dance on the dance floor -- she definitely did not need to do that and it was so appreciated. And she was always available to answer any question big or small. Thank you to The Birchwood for making our day feel so special and fun!
