The building is clean, there's sufficient parking, and shipping supplies are kept filled and tidy. I'm a huge fan of this location!

Please beware before booking your most special day at this facility. The problems they gave us are…read moretoo many to list but let me tell you a few: They would NOT allow us to use adequate A/C and our guests were ROASTING They would NOT allow us to use all their lighting while we were decorating because they claimed it cost too much! They double booked us for both the rehearsal dinner (we got shoved out but another group!) They double booked us for our event. After we had decorated they allowed another group to come in and hold a memorial service!!! They promised us a professional sound guy. He was a "fill in" for someone else and made so many mistakes we could have cried. He refused the volume we requested for our songs and wouldn't tell us why. I could go on and on! Please don't allow your wedding day to be ruined!!

I read a recent review from someone from Seffner(??) on the Unity Church, which is in Sarasota(??)…read moreand felt compelled to write a review. I was married last July at Unity. We decided on Unity because it had a great indoor chapel and adjoining hall for our reception. We married in July and the temperature inside was perfect in both locations, and dry since it rained that day. Our wedding was amazing. Unity is set in a forest setting with large windows and a chapel feel. The hall has been redone a week before we were married, and had great tile floors and a spacious kitchen. The staff is friendly and accommodating but I recommend that you cater and use your own sound person as we did for a wedding because they are not really equipped for it. My son is in the restaurant business and is a local DJ so he handled the music and food. You can't ask for a better facility though and the price charged is REALLY reasonable compared to other venues in Sarasota. We had a great wedding day and I highly recommend this venue for a wedding.

This marker is just south of the bridge as you enter Punta Gorda from Port Charlotte. There is…read moreparking nearby. It has the same text on both sides. It reads, "The Punta Gorda Bank was operating by June 1894 as a branch of the State Bank of Fort Meade. It was chartered by the state as a separate bank in July 1899, with a capital of $15,000 and Perry Wadsworth McAdow as president. McAdow had earned a fortune as the owner of the Spotted Horse gold mines in Fergus County, Montana, and decided to relocate to Punta Gorda after vacationing here with his wife. McAdow constructed a one-story, brick facade commercial building on this location to house the bank. The Punta Gorda Bank occupied the corner storefront, with Earnest Dry Goods, the Punta Gorda Trading Company, Wade's Drug Store and a community social hall known as McAdow Hall filling the remainder of the building. "By December 1912, the bank's assets had grown to $147,000, and a competing bank, The Merchant's Bank of Punta Gorda, opened in April of 1912. The Punta Gorda Bank underwent some years of uncertainty, and on April 23, 1917 was reorganized as the State Bank of Punta Gorda. The new bank assumed the deposits and liabilities of the old Punta Gorda Bank and was relocated to a new building." What the marker doesn't say outright is how deeply the McAdow family shaped the look and feel of early Punta Gorda. Perry Wadsworth McAdow arrived with serious wealth, but it was his wife, Clara, who left an equally lasting mark. She was an avid horticulturalist, and according to the Babcock Ranch historical timeline, she took it upon herself to beautify downtown Punta Gorda with plantings and landscaping that softened what had been a rough frontier town. There is no number on the marker. It was erected in 2008 by the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners. [Review 1583 of 2025 - 2164 in Florida - 25133 overall]
