Tampa has undergone a remarkable reinvention. The city that once defined itself by sports franchises and port industry has become one of the most exciting urban destinations in the South — a city of waterfront development, acclaimed restaurants, a booming creative class, and event venues that rival any in Florida.
Book in TampaArmature Works — the restored 1910 Streetcar Barn on the Hillsborough River in Tampa Heights — has become one of the most sought-after event venues in Florida. Its industrial-luxury aesthetic, riverfront setting, and combination of indoor and outdoor event spaces have made it a destination for weddings, corporate dinners, and private celebrations that want an environment with genuine character. It doesn't look like a hotel ballroom. That's exactly the point.
Water Street Tampa, the multi-billion dollar mixed-use development around the Amalie Arena, represents a new chapter for the city's downtown — luxury hotels, restaurants, and urban public spaces that have attracted a younger, more culturally engaged resident base. The events happening in this district are more diverse and creatively ambitious than the Tampa of fifteen years ago would have hosted.
"Tampa has arrived. Our clients used to apologize for not hosting their events in Miami. Now they come to Tampa because it's where they want to be."
— Tampa event plannerYbor City — Tampa's Cuban and Spanish immigrant neighborhood, now a historic district with incredible architectural character — provides a backdrop for events that want history and soul in equal measure. The brick streets, repurposed cigar factory buildings, and Latin cultural legacy make Ybor a unique event environment that calls for entertainment with comparable depth and authenticity.
Tampa Bay's wedding market spans Gulf Coast beachfront properties — including the iconic pink Don CeSar hotel on St. Pete Beach — to downtown Tampa rooftops, private waterfront estates along Old Tampa Bay, and intimate venues in the Hyde Park and Bayshore Boulevard neighborhoods. We perform at Tampa Bay weddings throughout the region.
Tampa is home to a significant corporate sector — Raymond James Financial, WellCare, Tech Data, and numerous healthcare and finance companies. The annual galas, leadership dinners, and holiday events these companies host increasingly look for entertainment that matches their elevated understanding of what a corporate event should be. We deliver that.
We travel to Tampa Bay regularly from our South Florida base. The four-hour drive is straightforward, and we bring our complete production — professional PA, LED-illuminated instruments, and the full three-piece ensemble. Tampa clients don't settle for "good for a Florida event" and neither do we.
We've found that Tampa audiences respond enthusiastically to The Electrostrings. The city has a genuine music culture — the Tampa Theatre, the Straz Center, the Festival of Beer and arts festivals that draw serious creative audiences. People here know what good performance looks and sounds like, and they appreciate it when they get it.
