Best Experience Ever!

We just had our wedding at Red Mesa in March of 2023 and it was absolutely incredible! From the start of the planning process Leigh was more than amazing. She answered every email or phone call promptly and with the best attitude. The venue itself is stunning, we got married on the rooftop and rain came through during cocktail hour and the team was quick to pull the walls down. It was great! The ballroom is beautiful and the staff was so helpful and nice. The food was OUTSTANDING! We had many people say it was the best wedding food they've ever had, my husband and I would agree! We had the perfect experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking!

Incredible Find in the Heart of St. Pete

Red Mesa was the perfect venue for us, especially being an out of town couple. The location was great since we had so many guests flying in, easily accessible from the airports, hotels, and rentals. The entire event space is gorgeous, meaning that we didn’t have to spend a lot of effort or money on decorations. For our wedding, we just wanted to have a great time with our friends/family. The food was delectable (I housed empanadas during cocktail hour) and the staff was great. On top of that, every other vendor we contacted, raved about how they love working with Red Mesa. It made things go smoothly on the day of.

Amazing Rehearsal Venue!

My husband and I got married in July 2023 and we had our rehearsal dinner at Red Mesa Cantina. We absolutely loved the space and our guests had such an incredible time! We rented the De Santo rooftop area and the views were incredible. Anastasia and Leigh were so helpful in the planning process. They made the whole process stress-less and enjoyable for me. They even let me drop off my decor the day before, which was so convenient. Their team decorated the space and packed it all up for us. The food and drinks were VERY delicious!! We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a private party or event.
