From owner Michael S. Novilla:

Amanda and John couldn’t help but fall in love with the beauty of NOVA 535 and Team NOVA quickly fell in love with this couple and their chic style! The memories created at their elegant white and gold formal St. Pete wedding reception were stunning, just like the newlyweds. A unique attribute of NOVA is that nearly everything is completely customizable. Read on to find out how Mr. and Mrs. Keim utilized our wedding venue as their blank canvas.

Elegant Formal St. Pete Wedding

Amanda and John’s St. Petersburg wedding celebration featured a unique outdoor ceremony at NOVA 535, something not typically found in downtown St. Pete.

“When we visited NOVA 535 and saw the bamboo garden for the cocktail hour, the exposed brick, and wood beams inside for the reception, it was a no-brainer,” Amanda gushed.

Since many of the wedding guests were traveling, it was important to the bride and groom to choose a wedding location that would provide entertainment and was also convenient.

“A majority of our guests were from out of town, and we felt that they would enjoy being able to walk to all of the local shops, restaurants and farmers markets,” the bride explained.

The couple chose their one-of-a-kind downtown St. Pete wedding and event venue because it felt like a hidden oasis.

“NOVA 535 is so unique. This is what drew us to the venue,” the bride shared.

What did you look for in a wedding venue?
We wanted to have a unique venue for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception so we decided to look for places that would accomplish this.

When we visited NOVA 535, saw the bamboo garden for cocktail hour, the exposed brick and wood beams inside for the reception, it was a no-brainer. We chose the venue because it is honestly so unique. How often do you see cocktail hours hosted in a bamboo garden? How often do you see receptions in a beautiful indoor setting with exposed brick and wood beams? Also, the fact that you could choose any licensed food vendor was a huge advantage, because other venues only let you choose from their select few.
