For over 60 years Tradewinds Island Resorts has been a staple for family getaways, weddings and events with it’s iconic views of the Gulf and endless activities including 11 different spaces for weddings/events, 3 story water slide, pickleball, paddle boats and much more!

I had the pleasure of attending, and photographing the wedding planner FAM they hosted with Marry Me Tampa Bay this spring. We got to to see many of the different spaces as well as hear all about the exciting $500 million dollar expansion that they just got approved for the end of April. They have 2 resorts - The Island Grand and Rum Fish which has 967 rooms and 102.000 sq feet of restaurant and retail space. The four-phased expansion will take place over 20 years and bring 629 new hotel rooms, 68,000 square feet of new restaurant/retail space with three new towers.

Below just a few of the spaces, amazing food, and beautiful views of the beach. From romantic beachfront terraces, to elegant ballrooms, they can accommodate and intimate wedding of 30 to a large gathering of 400!

With its exquisite wedding spaces, breathtaking surroundings, and upcoming expansion, it's a destination where dreams come to life and love stories unfold in all their splendor. And with Carrie Wildes Photography behind the lens, every moment becomes a cherished memory, captured in exquisite detail for generations to come. We can not wait to see this expansion unfold and photography many more beautiful events with their team!
