Don Vicente de Ybor Historic Inn

The food and space worked out perfectly for the kind of reception we wanted to have (a party with lots of mingling and music!). We weren't into sit-down dinners, so we did an action station buffet and Tessa did a great job planning the layout for us. We had a large (8 pc.) band and about 100 guests, so there was no assigned seating. Not even seats for everyone. I was so scared about this, but it was perfect. We wasted no time on multiple courses and got straight to the good stuff. The whole main floor was used by our guests for sitting and chatting, lounging, eating, drinking, dancing, and smoking (out on the back porch). It could not have been better for our group! Everyone loved the food and I think the price was reasonable. The only reason I can't give them an "A" is because we had some issues with the rooms. Its' complicated, and in the end, it's fine - but my one piece of advice would be this - If you are having a Saturday wedding and you want to rent the whole hotel (which is best), make sure your OOT guests who want to stay on Friday night too book EARLY!!! If another party comes in and books the whole hotel for Friday, your two-night guests may choose to book at another hotel, which may leave you paying for empty rooms on Saturday, or giving them up to strangers. It was way worth it, and all worked out fine, but we had some issues that I could have done without.
