A brand-new, luxurious, completely adaptable, and multi-use venue with a celebrity chef kitchen, breath-taking views, perfectly maintained, totally private acres, and an unmatched level of hospitality is called Mision Lago Estate. It is located in Florida. There are several options for both indoor and outdoor events, all of which are immaculately maintained and fully private. Every day, we only host one event. To escape the bustle of their busy lives and to acquire additional property for June's love of gardens—she adores all plants, but especially orchids—June and Tom moved to the little town of Thonotosassa. They were drawn to the 20-acre lakefront property and made it their private retreat not far from town. They started landscaping right once using her prized plants while "relaxing" and taking pleasure in the simple pleasures of each other's presence. After much deliberation, they settled on the name Mision Lago for their new residence. Lago signifies lake, and Mision is the Spanish word for the type of home they want (Spanish Mission). Lake House at Mision Lago. You can sense the warmth and passion placed into the estate and venue the moment you walk through the gates to the property. After 47 years of blissful marriage, June and Tom sincerely wish to be a part of the new journey you have in store for them.

The Tampa Museum of Art is a place unlike any other because it is one of Tampa's few waterfront event locations. Up to 400 guests can enjoy sitting outside on our lovely covered terrace, which offers views of the downtown skyline and the minarets of the University of Tampa.

There are several options for ceremony and reception sites at the Tampa Museum of Art. You could also let your visitors see our most recent art exhibits and galleries, which are on the second floor. Even though nighttime events are frequent at the Museum, we often plan daytime activities like business meetings, big luncheons, and showers. Each and every client receives a menu that has been specially curated by our amazing in-house caterer at the Museum. For you and your visitors, they will design a menu and an experience that accurately reflects your preferences and style.

Dallas Bull has been a cornerstone of Tampa's country music scene since opening its doors in 1979. What began as a small country bar quickly earned a devoted following — patrons felt like family, not just customers — and the venue expanded over the decades into what it proudly calls the largest honky-tonk east of the Mississippi. The venue hosts weekly free line dancing classes on Thursdays and Fridays, and its main stage has welcomed a long roster of country music headliners, including Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Keith Anderson, and Eric Church. A yearly concert series keeps the calendar full for both established acts and emerging artists. Dallas Bull accommodates private events ranging from bachelor and bachelorette parties to corporate mixers, birthday celebrations, and holiday gatherings. The space features spacious dance floors, a professional-grade sound system, private DJ services, and flexible food and beverage packages — all bookable with a three-hour minimum rental.
