Kapok Special Events

The Kapok is a gorgeous venue! Nancy, the general manager was super helpful and there for us from the day we booked our wedding right up until they played the last dance at our reception. She was always available to answer questions and was very helpful in recommending certain vendors as well. She knew we were on a tight budget and did everything in her power to make sure we had a beautiful wedding! The wedding day went perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding.

Kapok was a beautiful place to have my wedding. Nancy Hall was so flexible and accommodating. They truly make you feel special and are eager to help. I would also recommend Suda for a wedding planner. She clearly loves what she does and is very good at it. She was a great help and incredibly kind.

I am sooooooo incredibly happy that I had my wedding at Kapok Special Events! My wedding turned out absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments it is unbelieveable. The venue was so clean and perfectly set up. The atmosphere is amazing with all the statues and decorations. The ceremony room is beautiful and the reception room is the best I have ever seen. Nancy Hall is great to work with and she is always happy and will do anything she can to help out her brides. Nancy really worked with me and my budget and I cannot even convey how happy we am that we had our wedding at Kapok.

From the very first time I stepped into the Kapok, I knew that my dream wedding would occur there. The Kapok is absolutely gorgeous and as soon as I met the event coordinator, Nancy Hall, that was it. Nancy welcomed me and took me in as if I was like her own family. She was there for me through the whole process. She went above and beyond for me and if it was not for her, I would not have had the wedding I had. She knew just the right photographer, cater and coordinator (Luisa Salas- who is absolutely wonderful and was there for me for everything and I could not have imagined my day without her!!)to make my day be aboslutely amazing and breathtaking! It was well worth every dime I spent and I am still amazed at how beautiful my wedding was! The staff is amazing and they are there for you no matter how many times you visit and how many questions you have! They are very professional and believe every wedding should be treated as if that wedding is the only wedding to ever occur. Thank you Nancy for helping me and treating me like I was your daughter.

KAPOK IS ABSOLUTLEY THE B-E-S-T!!!! The venue is beautiful and the people who work there are the best. nancy helped make my day so special and stress-free. she will go above and beyond to make you happy. also all the people they recomend for catering floral dj etc. all work together and know each other well to make everything go smoothly on your special day. nancy works so hard to make everything beautiful. Not to mention she is there anytime you need her. if you havent gone and seen this venue it is worth going to and BOOKING!!! MY wedding was absolutley beautiful and people are still talking about how elegant this venue is. THANK YOU SO MUCH KAPOK (NANCY)!!!!!! YOU ARE ALL SUCH GREAT PEOPLE TO WORK WITH!!!!!!

This is one of the most beautiful venues you could possibly choose for a wedding. I was so glad that I chose this to be my ceremony and reception venue. The employees of Kapok are very kind and make every attempt to make your day perfect! Nancy even through in some decorative ideas the day of that were beautiful! This venue is costly, but I reduced some costs by choosing to have my wedding on a weekday. I could not have been happier with the venue that I chose for my wedding, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a unique venue that you can't find anywhere else in Florida.

Having been born and raised in the Tampa Bay area I've had the pleasure of visiting the Kapok Tree Restaurant during its heralded prime in the 60's/70's and 80's.In 1983 my wife and I enjoyed the pleasure of conducting our wedding reception at this magnificent establishment, splendid memories that we continue to hold close today.I'm delighted to say that just recently I called upon Nancy and the wonderful folks at the Kapok Special Events to assist me with a combination surprise 50th birthday party for my wife as well as celebration of our 28th wedding anniversary. The difference between our celebration of 1983 and 2011 was that I wanted to plan a surprise eloquent evening for just the two of us and Nancy and her colleagues helped to my dream a reality.Nancy and staff attended to every detail in preparation of our special evening. Candles, Linens, Tiki Torches to our original wedding album awaiting us on a pedestal in the Grape Room to our private table in the Grand Ballroom, underneath the magnificent chandelier. there was no detail left unattended.Catered by our friends at Rigatoni's in Tampa (thank you Sonia!) we enjoyed an evening of not only visual and culinary splendor, but also musical thanks to Jessica Cardwell, our wonderful harpist.As my lovely bride of 28 years and I strolled into magnificent courtyard, Nancy and her colleagues had arranged for not only rose petals to be strewn along the path, but our wedding song to be played as we began our evening of "Forever Memories".Coleen and I have celebrated many occasions in numerous fashions over the past 28 years but never before, and I'm quite confident never again will we ever be able to recreate the heartfelt memories of this magical evening.To Nancy and all our friends at the Kapok Special Events.....we will be forever grateful.With warmest appreciation,Jeff and Coleen KremerTampa, Fl.

I had two wedding ceremonies in one day. My second wedding ceremony (Hindu) and reception was held at this venue. I was 100% pleased with the level of professional of all the employees of this venue. The cosmetic appeal of this venue is absolutely stunning. It is a large venue so it allows for so many ideas and planning strategies. I recommend this venue HIGHLY!! I had an amazing time!! I also want to say that I used Mrs. Lakshmi Sastry as our Indian wedding planner. She was very nice, attentive, and professional. She made my dream of fusing my Catholic backround with my husband's Hindu backround a dream come true!!! You can reach her at 813-728-6274! Mrs. Sonia Barcena of Rigatoni's Italian Restaurant; is whom I used for catering. She is also an amazing kind individual; very puntual and attentive. Contact them at 813-870-7000!

The Kapok is absolutely perfect!!!!!! My wedding was a dream came true, the place is magic. Nancy made sure everything was flawless through the whole process. The day before the wedding it was a really bad storm, by the next day Nancy made sure the Gardens were absolutely perfect for the wedding. I am very pleased with everything.Everyone at the Kapok are amazing, specially Nancy..... she's professional, caring and just knows it all when it comes to weddings. I highly recommend the kapok!!!!!!!

I LOVE KAPOK PAVILLION! You must check it out! This is the place where my dream wedding came true! From the first day my mother and I walked into the gardens, and then the grand ballroom, I KNEW! The most unique, gorgeous, breathtaking wedding venue I had ever seen was right before my eyes! My one and only wish when I began the wedding planning process was to get married somewhere "different". Somewhere that would be absolutely memorable to myself, my husband, and our guests. I did not want the typical hotel conference room with four walls and a flat ceiling! I dreamt of unique and different. I surely found that at Kapok! I wanted to feel like a princess and I surely did. The european gardens, outdoor fountains, marble floors, enormous chandalier, and grand red stair case made my dream wedding come true!We met Nancy the first time that we entered the Kapok and she made all of our dreams happen. I listened to her when she recommended different vedors. I called and met with many of the vendors that she recommended and they were all amazing. I had never planned a wedding in my life so I had no idea where to begin. I listened to Nancy from day one and she never steered me in the wrong direction. She knew exactly what suited my needs, and everything just fell into place! Anytime I called the Kapok Nancy was there to awnser any questions I had and listened to all my ideas! She made me feel so happy and confident inside. Without her help I wouldnt have had the best wedding ever!Suda was another top-notch wedding coordinator who we worked closely with. She was extremely organized and contacted myself freqently regarding my wedding plans as well as all of my vendors before the wedding day. Suda made sure everything was perfect. Suda and Nancy were even there the night of my wedding making sure every last detail was perfected! I felt like they were my family. Every time I walked into the kapok in the months leading up to my wedding, I was greeted by Nancy and/or Suda with hugs, smiles, and open arms! They are awesome!Weeks after the wedding myself, my husband, and my family are still receiving emails and phone calls from our guests all saying "that was the most beautiful wedding we have EVER been to".....AND THAT WAS THE RESPONSE I DREAMT OF! I reccommend Kapok Pavillion to anybody who wishes the most romantic, unique, and memorable wedding day of their life!Victoria and Jerry T.

My husband and I found Kapok Special Events online and absolutley fell in love, although we never thought that it was possible for us to get married there, Nancy made everything possible. The venue is breathtaking and more unique than any other venue I have ever seen. Looking back on our wedding we would not have changed anything. Our families are still talking about how Kapok was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Nancy helped us plan our wedding from day one, she has wonderful ideas and can bring your vision to reality :) What can I say! We were all more than satisfied with the venue and would recommend any one to have there wedding here.

Where do I began? My husband wanted to renew our vows and have a really nice wedding. Our search for a Venue was a task, until I came across the Kapok. Upon visiting the Kapok, I spoke with Jeremy several times on the phone and he was so polite and offered much assistnce in making my husband's dream wedding come true. My first initial visit to the Kapok was a breathe-taking experience. My husband could not come, so his Aunte and I visited. When I saw the place, I knew my husband would love it, and he did... As well as me and everyone I told to visit the web-site. Meeting Nancy was such a joy, she was very helpful and offered much help to us. She even went the extra mile to make sure my day was perfect! Hats off to all of her staff who did everything possible to make our day an eventful and memorable one... Thank you and God Bless!

We used the Kapok Tree for a charitable award dinner and the venue was perfect! The grand staircase and the garden view from the dining room were a delight to our guests, who complimented our choice of venue for this annual event.Nancy was the absolute best to work with. She gave us excellent service, with a smile and a "can do" attitude. This is the second time we are at the Kapok Tree and Nancy's professionalism and standard of excellence are the main reasons we returned to this beautiful facility. Thank you!!

The Kapok was the perfect location for our wedding. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with open arms from both Nancy and Jeremy. The two of them made our entire wedding experience wonderful. They were both very friendly, professional, and helpful to say the least. Throughout the wedding we had many guests tell us how beautiful the Kapok was and how great Nancy and Jeremy were. Naturally the day of the wedding we were both stressed out, but these two made sure that we were at ease. The staff at Kapok far exceeded our expectations! Now a month later we still have guests talking about our wedding and how they had such a great time. All we wanted from the results of our wedding was for our guest to have a good time, and I truly believe that Nancy, Jeremy and the entire staff made that lasting impression on our guests and ourselves. Thank you Kapok for making our wedding day dreams come true!!!!

From the first moment I walked into the Kapok Tree I knew I wanted my wedding there. The event coordinator, Nancy Hall, could not have been more helpful. She went above and beyond for me again and again. I showed her pictures of the ideas I had and she made everything happen. All my life I dreamed of a wedding that was romantic, filled with dim lights and candles. I was blown away by how beautiful the ceremony and reception were. It was more that I had ever imagined.

The Kapok was a great! First of all, what a beautiful place?! Nancy really took ownership of making sure things went smoothly at both the rehearsal and wedding. She put as much attention towards our event as I believe she would have for her own flesh and blood. Thanks for making it so special!

The Kapok was absolutely the best place we could have chosen for our daughter's wedding and reception. So many people came up to me at the reception, raving about the facility. Jeremy was fun to work with and very accommodating to whatever we desired. Nancy is gracious and professional. The gardens looked beautiful and our guests enjoyed them and the photos turned out awesome both inside and outside. The ability to use the facility for the entire day of the wedding was great and allowed us to savor the day to the fullest. Thanks, Jeremy & Nancy. Ann

I just had my wedding 3 weeks ago at the kapok and i loved my whole experience there. Nancy and Jermy are the best they helped me out so much especially nancy was giving me all these great and ideas and options that really made everything go great. Honestly they made my day perfect i would not ask for more great reception, and great management

My dream wedding! Everything was stunning! We needed flexabilty and that was what we got and more! Every promise Nancy made was held and went above and beyond all of our expectations! We relied heavily on Nancy and her suggestions and they all came out to be great! The caterer she suggested was right on point! All Events did a wonderful job! Thanks again for everything!!

Nancy and her staff were a dream to work with! Nancy was more than happy to answer any and all of our questions. She also reffered us to our caterer and photographer. We were more than pleased with both! All Events Catering was her recomendation and we were so thrilled with all of the options that Adam and his staff provided! The food was GREAT and we were so please with the wait staff and their professionalism! Thanks Nancy! Great job!

My wedding reception at the Kapok was stunning and beautiful. However, that fact is a tribute to the actual building and the decor choices that I made and not the gerneral manager of the Kapok. I would like to first say that I had a wedding planner assist me with my communication with the Kapok manager during the months leading up to my wedding. If I had not had the help of my wedding planner to be a representative of mine then I probably would have changed venues because dealing with the general manager (Nancy) was so stressful. Future brides be warned... when dealing with Nancy get EVERYTHING in writing. ALSO... check the quality of their tables. My wedding cake went crashing to the floor during my cake cutting ceremony. It was NOT the moment I had dreamed of!!!!! Finally after some debate and requiring a completed comment card the Kapok management did refund the cost of my wedding cake. However, the moment of cutting the cake with my new husband and having those pictures to put in our album are forever lost. :(In all fairness I will report the positive elements of the Kapok. First of all although it is very expensive, the venue is unique and was stunning!!!! My guests were all very impressed and had an amazing time. The assistant manager Jeremy is easy to communicate with and was a fantastic bartender. Both Jeremy and his brother (who was also working at the event) checked in with me on a few occasions to make sure we were all having a great time. I have also received many compliments from friends about how great our wedding bartender was. In closing, I just want to say that dealing with Nancy is a task... so have a wedding planner or friend with you for every conversation and get every little detail of your plans in writing. Heck... I even had to record a conversation with her so I could play it for my fiance and during the conversation she contradicts herself so many times I am still unsure of when she was lying to me or telling me the truth. Also, during my tour at the Kapok with my maid of honor, Nancy approached us teary eyed and began asking me "if I liked her?". I told her she was making me very uncomfortable and she pressed on saying "I was making her sad". It was all very very strange and unprofessional!!!!!!!Ultimately, the amazing setting, the great vendors that I chose, and my wedding guests made even a crashing wedding cake seem unimportant at the time. However... that sort of thing should NEVER happen at a wedding.

Kapok is a beautiful venue for a wedding. You rent the entire place for the day and can have the ceremony there also if you want to. They were expensive, but they did a great job.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Kapok and could not have asked for a better vendor!!!!!! Nancy, Jeremy, and staff are absolutely wonderful and EXTREMELY helpful!!! They went above and beyond to assist us with finding great vendors and giving us beautiful ideas. We hired Nancy as our day-of coordinator and she is SUPERB!!!!!!! I highly recommend hiring her because she made the day run so smoothly and even went above and beyond, making special decorations and paying extreme attention to detail. We LOVE the Kapok!!!!!!!! It made for an absolutely gorgeous wedding!!!!!

"This is the best wedding I have ever seen;" "This place is like a dream;" "I went to a fabulous wedding in New Jersey once, but it doesn't come close to how beautiful this one." These are just a handful of the many wonderful comments I heard from family and friends that attended my daughter's wedding on 14 Nov at Kapok. From the beautiful outdoor fountains and waterfalls to the elegant columns and statues all around, Kapok provides a wonderful mediterranean ambiance fit for royalty. Management and staff worked diligently to ensure every single detail was perfect and never hesitated to "adapt" to last minute changes. You will not find a better wedding venue in this area.

This is such an amazing place to get married!!!!!!!!!! Nancy and jeremy are such great people to work with. Nancy makes you feel like you are the only bride every time you walk in the door!!!!!! The atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend to any one looking for an event place.

Kapok Events is where every bride would have her wedding, if they just go and visit in person. Nancy and Jeremy were absolutely wonderful. Their decor and grounds are so beautiful you just don't need to fritter away thousands on flowers or drapes or ANYTHING! The Kapok venue will save you thousands, in flowers alone.. Nancy and Jeremy cared about our wedding as much as we did. We stopped in unannounced numerous times and they always welcomed us. We had guests telling us that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I don't think they were just being polite-they truly felt that way. One of our friends is a professional photographer (he owns the rights to many of Marilyn Monroe's photographs taken by his father, who's footsteps he has followed). He said he has been to hundreds of weddings, from coast to coast-including some very posh events. He said he had never seen such a beautiful venue and the attention to every detail was phenomenal! Thank you to you, Nancy and Jeremy, for you worked so hard for so many months to make this a day our guests will never forget.

Our wedding at The Kapok was truly amazing! We were able to choose our vendors to suit our ideas and needs which added a personal touch. Looking at our beautiful pictures and videos always puts a smile on our face knowing that our guests enjoyed every minute of our special day as much as we did. From the cute and short ceremony to the endless conga line a few hours and drinks later, everything went better than planned. However, the day would have been a hot mess if it wasn't for Nancy and her staff. Nancy was just a phone call away whenever I needed her and she would always say the right things I needed to hear.Thank you Nancy, you were like a second mom. Alina ..and Jaime of course =)

I HAVE TO SAY FROM THE MOMENT YOU WALK INTO THIS VENUE UNTIL THE MOMENT YOU LEAVE AS MAN AND WIFE, YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOUR IN A DREAM. NANCY AND JEREMY WILL HOLD YOUR HAND AND WALK YOU THROUGH EVERY PIECE OF YOUR WEDDING. FROM DAY ONE THEY HELPED US WITH EVERYTHING WE NEEDED, THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS WERE PERFECT. NANCY THOUGHT OF SO MANY THINGS WHICH NEVER CROSSED MY MIND. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO GO THROUGH OUR DREAM DAY WITHOUT THESE THINGS. NANCY MADE SURE EVERY PIECE OF MY DRESS AND MYSELF :) WAS IN PLACE BEFORE I WALKED DOWN THE ISLE. AND EVEN AT THE MOMENTS I WANTED TO LOOSE IT BOTH SHE AND JEREMY WERE RIGHT AT MY SIDE TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING SO I NEEDN'T WORRY ON MY DAY. THE VENUE WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND EVEN MORE BREATHTAKING IN PHOTOS. MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE STILL RAVING ON WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING MY HUSBAND AND I HAD. NANCY AND JEREMY ARE BOTH SO AMAZING, THE KAPOK GARDENS, BALLROOM, ENTIRE VENUE AND FEEL ALL COMBINED GIVE THE DAY A FEELING THAT IS INCOMPARABLE TO ANYTHING ANY OTHER VENUE HAD TO OFFER US (AND WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE). THE MEMORIES THIS VENUE AND THE STAFF ENABLED US TO HAVE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH MY HUSBAND AND I. THANK YOU THANK YOU TO ALL OF KAPOK, THE CATERERS, AND PHOTOGRAPHERS. BY THE WAY WE HAD NANCY AS OUR WEDDING PLANNER I MUST SAY SHE PAYS VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND WE WERE VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT, LEADING UP TO AND THE DAY OF THE WEDDING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE THEIR VISIONS OF THEIR WEDDING DAY COME TRUE TO LIFE.

The first thing I can say about the Kapok is that it is by far the most visually stunning venue my husband and I looked at. The Greco-Roman motif is breathtaking. The grand ballroom and the outside fountain are something out of a movie. Each section of the wedding ie: ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception moved seemlessly from room to gorgeous room. Much better than worrying about transporting all of your guests to different places. .The staff was impeccable.We worked mostly with Jeremy for all the odds and ends. He was very professional and accommodating to all of our needs.When Jeremy was not available,Nancy, the general manager made sure every detail was perfect,from the pinning of the train to the placing of the centerpieces. We were provided with many suggestions regarding catering, entertainment, and other essentials that would not have occured to me had they not been mentioned. Over all they made the entire experience alot simpler than it would have been for just me and my husband. If you are looking for your perfect princess wedding I highly recommend the Kapok Tree.

A beautiful venue with very accommodating manager and staff. Also includes excellent alcohol service. We would rate more stars if available.

My Quinceanera at Kapok was absolutely the best. Everything came out as planned and even better. Nancy and her staff truly know how to make a special day last for a lifetime. Even all my guests were fascinated by the beauty of the place and how spectacular the party turned out. I honestly wouldn't recommend any other event place. All my expectations and requirements were met up to the last word. There are no words to explain how extremely happy I was and still am. Sharing my Quinceanera with all my loved ones at Kapok was the best choice I made. Thank you so much Nancy- I send you all my love & God bless you all :)

I had my wedding and reception there in June and I had an awsome experience!!! Nancy (the GM) was so helpful and informative every step of the way, I don't think I could of got throught it all with out her help. The place is absloutely breathtaking, I was like the fairytale wedding I have always dreamed of.Thank you Nancy and staff for making my day perfect!!!!

This place is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! One of the best places in The Tampa/Clearwater area to have a wedding. I got married her in June of 2009 and my wedding was so "breat taking"...the guest RAVED about the venue,and LOVED every second of my wedding. They loved the decor and the inside of the venue as well as the outside...it is like a dream place to get married at! Nancy helped me and so did Jermey to make sure I was happy and that my day went as planned.The only badside is...yes, the place is a bit pricey, and liquor is much extra but they may be willing to work with you on that.

Kapok Tree is an amazing venue to use for your wedding! Not only is it absolutely gorgeous but the staff is truly wonderful to work with. Even on day one of planning, Nancy went over an beyond for my husband and I. She truly made me feel special throughout every aspect the planning. She paid special attention to every request and did everything in her power to make sure I had what I wanted. She even had unique and beautiful ideas of her own that worked out better then I could have ever envisioned! The staff treated us and our families with the utmost respect and kindness on our wedding day. They did a fabulous job in every department and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Jeremy was GREAT! Nancy was a little too pushy. The location was beautiful!! It was a little too expensive and NOTHING is included in the cost. You have to even buy the fuel for the torches!

This is the most amazing place to be married in. All my guests were amazed at the beauty of the Kapok and the fact that we had every room to ourselves and weren't competing with another wedding like oyu do in hotels was the best part.

The Kapok was everything I ever dreamed of from start to finish! The staff were extremely nice, helpful, knowledgable and easy to talk to. I would recommend the Kapok to everyone but I kinda want to keep this place to myself....However, that will never happen. My wedding was marvelous! My dream came true at the Kapok!

I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding day:) The staff is very sweet, and supportive. The environment is absolutely breathtaking. The fountains lit at night make you almost feel like you are roaming about a 'little Italy'.

This was the wedding place of my dreams, at the Kapok Tree - the location is magnificent with its historically beautiful gardens. The lady who booked me Nancy Hall was awesome with lots of advice and knowledge. She even sent me to one of the most professional wedding planners; Sharon Gentry “Bella Sophia Event Planning”. Our wedding was 250 people with a romantic wedding ceremony, reception in the gardens with dinner and dancing till midnight. My husband Josh and I were so fortunate to have the most beautiful wedding at the Kapok Tree. Again thanks to Nancy and Sharon. Our photographer was Judy Trice at Bay Area Photography – wow – I just got my pictures these three are true professionals. I am going to send pictures to Nancy and Sharon when I get a chance. We got our cake at Publix – great cake at great price. Kari & Josh

I had my wedding at Kapok a little over a year ago and I have to tell you it was the BEST experience ever. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and Nancy was amazing.I had hired a wedding planner who kind of dropped the ball during my planning and Nancy stepped in and rescued my wedding literally. She took care of everything. She sat down with me figured out all the logistics of what I wanted, made phone calls to different vendors, and really made my wedding awesome. Without her help I would not have had the beautiful wedding that I had. Jeremy was get too. Very friendly and a great part of the team.. KUDOS to you Nancy you saved my wedding!! THank you so so much..

Nancy and Her staff was GREAT!!!

It's really the most beautiful place I can think of in the area! I have been to a few parties there, and I fell in love right away with the huge chandelier and the the antique looking decorations and pillars. There really is a sense that this place is romantic, and that it's the for couples to have their first dance! We booked it over a year in advance, although the manager told us that it is less busy during certain times of the year. We were able to bring in our own caterer, and DJ, and we pretty much had access to all the facilities. We didn't bring in decorations, because it really wasn't necessary. The place has a old, romantic atmosphere, and we wanted to keep that feeling.

The Kapok is wonderful and an incredible place to be married, it is a little on the pricy side and if you want to be married there you need to book at least a year in advance but we enjoyed every moment.

The hall was a beautiful site to have my wedding held. There was plenty of space and beautiful scenary all around. The staff there is excellent, they helped in everyway possible and held very good communication with me. The only down fall is the maintenance of the hall. It so so gorgeous inside and out, and it is not well taken care of. But none the less is still beautiful in the daytime and night. It has a gorgeous marble floor, and italian themed walls and decor. Just gorgeous and breath taking. One thing was not as I expected on my wedding day, were the leaves in the garden not being blown out properly. Other than that, the price is a bit costly for the care that the building is under, but that's a one thing that'll have to be looked over if the price is considerable.

Hello, I'm the mother of the bride. Kapok is truly the most "AMAZING" place to have your wedding and reception. My daughter and I knew the moment we walked into the place and was greeted by Nancy that this truly was going to be the most amazing wedding ever! From breath taking rooms, chandeliers and the staircase you just said wow every step. Imagining your wedding in this place was one thing, but to actually have it there words cannot explain the magic! The look on my daughter's face as we toured said it all. She was in awe . A princess' wedding to be! It was everything she had ever imagined her wedding to be and then some!! With that being said when the magic began to see the look on our guest' faces were priceless. A moment in time for ALL to be enjoyed. I cannot tell you even now how many times I am told that was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to with a thank you for witnessing it. Nancy and her assistant with all due respect where there at every beck and call. Assisting in the tiniest of detail. And always making sure that we were pleased. I can't thank those two ladies enough for helping me provide my daughter with her dream wedding. You see it was me who wanted the whole thing from the get go for my daughter due to her loss of her father a few years earlier. She had always dreamed of the day her father would walk her down the isle. So for me it was simple. I must give her a wedding that truly would help knock her socks off... And it did!

The two ladies that run this place are amazing. They sit down and help you plan and actually get excited. Its just not another wedding to them. The place is wonderful and the ceremony is perfect!!

THe Kapok was an amazing place to get married! I had the venue all day. I would recommend this to anyone! They only thing that got to me what the wonderful lady who ran the place was giving my husbands bestman faces during his speech. In other words to tell him to stop talking.

I attended a wedding at the Kapok Tree the year before I became engaged and totally fell in love with the grounds. When I became engaged there was no question as to where I wanted to say my "I do's" and celebrate with family and friends. The property accomodated my 200+ guest list with no problems and being able to have the wedding and reception all in one place was the cherry on top of our cake. The reception hall is one of the most beautiful around with the large chandelier and staircase giving it the "WOW" factor that all Brides want. Nancy and Sudda were amazing and were definately responsible for my day going off without a hitch and for providing me the best gift of all, a stress free wedding day.

If you are a brinde who wants to truely feel like a princess, this is the venue for you!!!

I had my ceremony & reception at Kapok and would recommend every bride to stay FAR away from this location!! While it is beautiful, because of poor staff and lack of professionalism, my reception was a huge disaster and I was in tears for the last half of it! I could go on all day with how awful my wedding reception went because of Kapok! I wouldn't recommend this location to my worst enemy!

We had a truly magical wedding day. From the minute you walk in the door, Nancy treats the bride-to-be as if she’s the only one getting married at the Kapok - ever. We wanted this very special day in our lives (and those leading up to it) to be stress free and fun. And we got just what we asked for – and then some! The most important thing we did while planning the wedding was open ourselves up to Nancy concerning our expectations – both realistic and not. We knew nothing about wedding or event planning, but knew she had had an active role in many of them. Who better to advise you then Nancy? She did not disappoint us in the least. Nancy said that a wedding day is all about the bride – and she was right. And the vendors she recommended performed just as she said they would – flawlessly. At the end of the day, we were husband and wife. And three years and counting later, our guests still talk about how our wedding day was one they’d never forget. Thank you… thank you… thank you!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Nancy and her staff are. The venue speaks for itself - absolutely beautiful gardens, dramatic interior, plenty of space for your guests. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding, and our photos came out great. Nancy was very flexible with our setup and catering, and allowed us to do whatever we needed to make our traditional hindu ceremony a memorable event in our lives. They have all the resources you need to plan a great wedding, and whatever they don't have, they can get for you! Highly recommend Kapok for any special event.

Kapok Special Events was an absolutely beautiful place to hold our wedding. Their staff was impeccable in the quality and service and assistance they gave me to plan my special day. The manager, Nancy, was excellent in her knowledge of her facility and wedding coordination, and helped me to fine tune everything for my special day so that it all ran smoothly. Her guidance of all the little details that I hadn't event thought of, made for a beautiful evening, without the chaos that can often accompany a large event. My 350 guests are still talking to this day of the beautiful location, charm and wonder of our wedding event. They keep asking when we are going to hold an anniversary party there! And my guests, my husband and I can't wait to return!!! The facility is stunning in its old world charm and the grand ballroom and gardens were beautiful for photos, videos and long lasting memories of our wedding. The opportunity to shoot my Bridal photo on the empty ballroom floor ahead of the wedding was as exciting as preparing for my special day and I really appreciated all of the extra help she gave me. She even offered me hundreds of votives to place around the hall, and I had to do was supply the candles. All the extras they offered we're great and the venue is excellent for the cost, allowing us the entire facility for the day of our wedding, greatly helping with set up and preparations. It's nice to have the whole facility for your special day as it really makes you and your guests feel like Royalty in a great palace!! They even supplied dozens of tiki torches in the gardens and all I had to do was supply a little torch fuel, they did the rest...filled them, placed them and lit them for a beautiful torch lit background for our guests as they entered and relaxed in the sprawling gardens sprinkled with dozens of beautiful greek mythology statues and columns that creates such a romantic setting to any event. My husband, family and I would all highly recommend Kapok to any Bride who would like to feel like a princess and her family like royalty on your special day!!!

Kapok Pavillion is a beautiful and unique place. Everyone of your pictures will have the most amazing backgrounds. It is a trutly magic place!!!!!!

Nancy does a magnificent job at making sure that all of her clients are happy, not just with weddings, but all events that are taking place at the Kapok. It is a unique location, and it is a pleasure to be associated with Nancy and her team at the Kapok.

I love seeing weddings in all their majesty at the Kapok. It is a stunning venue, the beautiful european gardens, the elegance of the ceremony room and grandeur of the Grand Ballroom make for a night to remember for a lifetime! Nancy and her staff do a fantastic job catering to each Bride's needs and requests for their special day and they are a pleasure to work with. It's like a Cinderella dream for any Bride who chooses Kapok Special Events for their wedding venue.

A wonderful venue for any ocassion perfect for weddings I have been there many times. With a Bridal room upstairs to a White Ceremony room, Cocktail area and finally a grand Ballroom to dance the nite away in. The Staff is great to work with. Location is always clean. If your looking for a venue that your whole function can be done at and inside w a/c then I would check this place out. Keep up the great job.
