Clearwater Beach Recreation Center

This was an awesome location for our destination wedding reception. The deck for the cocktail hour was gorgeous -- guests loved the view. We hired a company to decorate and transform the interior from a blank canvas to a gorgeous reception. It was nice being able to bring in our own alcohol and caterer.

Best place on Clearwater Beach for your reception. Beautiful views of the intercoastal and well worth your money.

We held our ceremony and reception here and it turned out beautifully. The setting is gorgeous, and I could have the ceremony by the water, without having to deal with the sand. Its really affordable, and you can book it for the amount of time that you want. The reception hall was spacious and they let us decorate it ahead of time. Its kind of a blank canvas, so any theme/color will work there. The room holds up to 180 people.. we had 140 and it was perfect. We also used two of the round tables out on the deck, and there was still plenty of space. The venue made for great photos by the water! It was really a perfect place to have it!

Clearwater Beach Recreation Center Social Hall, Speechless! That is what we have to say about the venue location, view and services provided! This was the very best location to have our daughter's wedding reception! With windows all around, the beautiful view over the bay was in every direction! The outside deck is very large and was decorated too and our bar and Hor 'Doeuvres station was setup on the deck, along with high top tables, so guests could enjoy being outside any time they wished. Inside was decorated beauifully as well and it was wonderful having most of the tables and chairs needed available already at the venue, so our planner didn't have to rent additional ones. The kitchen made it easy for our caterer to do their job as well. I know this is a popular venue for wedding receptions and we were very lucky to find it availalbe for our daughter's wedding! If you are reading this, you'd better reserve it now or it will be unavailable later! Thank you! Sincerely, Bill and Carol (Crystal and Daniel's 3/6/2011 Wedding)

The Clearwater Beach Rec Center was the perfect location for our ceremony and wedding reception. They were so helpful with suggesting how the venue should be setup and did an amazing job assisting us throughout the event.

The hall is beautiful and in a great location. Our ceremony area was breath taking on the inner coastal. Our out of town guests loved the view. But, there was little time for set up and they count every minute you are there.

The Clearwater Beach Rec Center was the ideal location for my wedding. It was beautiful and really showed our guests how beautiful Clearwater Beach was. I strongly recommend people to utilize this location for their wedding. Not only is it beautiful but very affordable.

Our coordinator- Marty- was really friendly and helped out a lot, definitely made friends with a lot of our guests. The venue as a whole was simply gorgeous and let us have pretty much free reign with what we wanted to do, was really helpful in decor. The only complaint I have would be the flexibility of time- it was difficult for us getting everything set up and ready in time. However, they were professional and courteous and our vendors liked working with them as well. During the reception indoors, the natural light was beautiful. And our guests saw dolphins outside from the dock- so pretty. The dock was a great place to take photos as well. And, this all came at a fabulous price. I definitely recommend the Rec Complex to other brides!

We looked at 20-30 different venues in the Tampa Bay area and found the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center to be the best value for us. The location is very scenic and most importantly, they are very flexible on external vendors. The staff is very helpful and great to work with as well.

Everyone at the rec center were very professional and helpful. They set up all tables and chairs to my exact layout. The building and grounds were very clean and modern. It was very easy to transform the large white room into a Wedding Paradise. Anything that came up ,they were ready to help. Special Thanks to Dan and Marty!

Everything was absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants an outdoor wedding without the hassel or sand and beach-goers!

This a beautiful site to have any vent. Right on the water, with a deck and plenty of room inside and out for parties of around 200 or less. You can't beat the pricing or the view.
