Wedding:

Hotel:

Best Western Gateway Inn

"Though they've changed their name to the La Quinta, this is one of the nicest, cleanest hotels in Saint Petersburg. They gave us an excellent rate and worked extremely hard to ensure our guests felt at home. Thanks!"

Dining:

Arigato Japanese Steak House: St Pete

"The bride is such a fan of this sit-with-strangers restaurant that she brings multiple tupperwares to fill with their onion broth. Your chef will inevitably light something on fire [an onion tower] and toss something into his hat [shrimp tails]. Charming for the children; strong long island ice teas for the adults."
