Burgundy and Navy Florida Winter Wedding
For Cortney and James’ Florida winter wedding, their priorities focused on having a gorgeous St. Pete venue and making sure their guests had an amazing time.
“Our families were coming from many other states and we knew St. Pete would give them the true Florida experience as they would be able to enjoy the local food and beaches in between the wedding festivities.”
The bride and groom knew from the first moment they saw NOVA 535 that it was the venue for them.
“In our hunt for the perfect wedding venue, we were searching for a place that would be very unique and elegant. We wanted to have it be very naturally beautiful and something that our family and friends would enjoy,” Cortney shared. “When we toured NOVA we both immediately knew that is where we needed to get married. It was so unique and beautiful.”
Since they were having a winter wedding, the pair kept the color palette rich with burgundy, navy, and gold. “I wanted to keep the colors warm and inviting. I also wanted to play off the brick walls and warm feeling of the venue,” the bride explained.
When it came to the design, Cortney and James knew that their venue was so unique had a style of its own that they didn’t need to overthink the decor.
“When choosing the inspiration for our wedding, I really based it off of NOVA 535. I didn’t feel it was necessary to have a theme,” the bride revealed. “Instead, I wanted to keep it simple and let the elegance of the venue speak for itself.”

Not only did NOVA 535’s beauty capture this couple’s heart, but the impeccable service and all-in-one amenities made it the perfect fit. The couple’s wedding was intimate and stress-free feel as they were able to keep the ceremony and reception at one location.
“The services provided by NOVA are second to none,” Cortney gushed. “Ruby, the coordinator was amazing. She took the lead on everything and made sure everything ran smoothly so I never had to stress.”
The bride and groom wanted a dance party to remember, and NOVA 535 delivered!
“DJ Jaey, the in-house DJ was fantastic. He kept wonderful communication and played songs to please everyone. There were no awkward pauses or bad song choices. He matched the mood all night long,” the bride beamed.
The excellent service was felt by all of the couple’s friends and family.
“The manager was awesome, he constantly was checking in with our parents to ensure everything was perfect,” Cortney added.
