Hats of the Tom and the staff at Florida Beach Banquets for the fantastic job they did in helping us make this Celebration of life so very special for our son. The friendly professional staff, the fabulous food and the beautiful venue. They were even kind enough to pack us a to go box for my husband and I us knowing we were to busy to eat. It was so very much appreciated. The food was just outstanding and the feedback from everyone five star. Thank you Tom and team you did it again for our family and we thank you very much.

Wedding Reception - An Eventective User from ORLANDO, FL

I contacted Bayside Banquets on 05/09/16 and spoke to the Banquet Sales/Manager Vickie. I told her that I was getting married on Pass-a-Grill Beach in St.Pete, FL on 05/29/16. I told her I needed a venue for my wedding reception. She was soooo helpful and made me feel confident in knowing that she and her staff would be able to take care of everything from the decorations, food & drinks. I got married on Pass a Grill Beach and 22nd Ave and the Venue was located about 5 min down the street from the Beach!!!! It was perfect!!!! When we arrived...the appetizers were hot and delicious, the dinner was AMAZING!!!!!! The drinks were AWESOME!!!!!! And the most important part was the cost for everything was very affordable!!!!! I was sooo very pleased and happy with how everything turned out. Again!!!! Special Thanks to Vickie, Debbie, food/bar service staff. You all helped make my day special and stress FREE!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!! Stephanie A. from Orlando FL

The best deal in town! - An Eventective User from Pittsburgh, PA

I honestly don't know where to begin to describe Deb and her staff. I have been sending e-mails and making phone calls for our wedding for close to 8 months. When we finally arrived to St. Pete for the week of our wedding we met with her & she put all of my fears to rest. You never really know what to expect when planning a wedding reception and rehearsal dinner from a distance. Deb put all my anxiety in her own hands. She was professional, precise, helped with menu selections and made recommendations to help us with our menu. Our rehearsal dinner menu was in our budget thanks to Deb's help. Our reception was over the charts!!! She decorated the hall perfectly to our color scheme and theme. The wait staff was prompt and just as professional as Deb! The value that you get when selecting Bayside Banquets to do your reception is one that can't be beat! We still have our guest raving about the food! We have now made St. Pete our second home!!!

The Feaster Wedding - An Eventective User from St. Pete

My husband and I were married in this very room among 100 family and friends in Dec 2009. It was very sweet and wonderful. Everything was accommodating for us. The owner Debbie set everything up, we were the second wedding they did in the space. We totally recommend it, the beach is a beautiful setting for pics after the wedding if you do it early enough in the day.

Perfect and Affordable Wedding Venue - An Eventective User from Winter Haven, Fl

When my fiance and I decided to make plans for our wedding we knew that we wanted to get married on the beach so we started looking for venues in the St.Pete Bch area. We cam across this banquet hall and couldnt believe everything they offered for their price. The place is supper cute, and they take care of all the decorating, dance floor, ect. It is a no worry place to reserve for your next event. Debbie the owner/coordinator was great and very helpful with everything and every question I had. I would truly recomend this venue to anyone for any type of event.

The perfect wedding spot! - An Eventective User from Winter Haven, Fl

When my fiance and I decided to start making plans for our wedding we knew right away that we wanted to have a beach wedding so I started looking for a venue and came across Bayside Banquets. I couldnt believe the information that they had provided as far as an all inclusive package, from catering it, dance floor, linens, ect. So I decided to call and get the facts and sure enough, just like what I had just read. I had spoke to Debbie the coordinator/owner and she was very helpful to all my questions through out the process of the upcoming event. The place is supper cute, very nicely decorated, food is great and the location coulnt be better. Everything was walking distance, from the hotel to the ceremony site. I totally recommend this venue to anyone that will be planning for any type of accasion, as they will accomodate reunions, b-days,ect.

Reunion reflection - An Eventective User from Pinellas Park, Florida

We had a banquet for 75 of our family as part of our (every three years) reunion. The owner was so accommodating and the service was wonderful. The food was delicious, even satisfying my very picky Italian/Greek son-in-law. The staff even picked up a sheet cake we had ordered from a local baker for us so we didn't have to transport it. The decor was so pretty. I have no reservations in recommending this for any event you may be planning.
