Venue Spotlight: The Powel Crosley Estate

This beautiful, historic mansion has the view and the space to host one amazing wedding! Located right on the Sarasota Bay, you can feel the energy from the "Roaring 20s" era still there. You can host up to a 300 or more person wedding, and gala on this property. Each section creates a unique and picturesque memory to last you a lifetime. That's why we are here showcasing each nook and cranny of this property, from Swanky Soiree's real weddings, and other events.   The Bayside Lawn With its luscious green grass that stretches all the way to the shiny turquoise waters of the bay. It's the largest space on the property. Anything over 100 guests is best suited on the lawn. Be prepared for Florida's finicky weather and make sure a Plan B is in action. Tents are allowed on the lawn, but can get expensive depending on the size and color. The lawn is large enough where you can host both a ceremony set up and reception with still plenty of space in between. Photographers can have multiple angle shots with a beautiful background no matter where they shoot. Make sure you budget for outsourcing lighting the lawn up at night, as the lawn space does not come with lighting. Don't know where to look? Swanky Soiree does it all the time, we are happy to help you with your lighting needs here. The Loggia This space is probably the second most photographed location on the property. With the Italian like archways, and tiles it makes for a beautiful vintage space for any backdrop. Some use it as a ceremony space by draping the archways, or featuring a food [...]
