Samantha and Ryan

Samantha and Ryan chose the beautiful Hotel Haya in Ybor City as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception on a beautiful afternoon in earlier this year..

Just minutes from Downtown Tampa, Old Ybor City charm meets modern flair at Haya Hotel.  Revitalized casitas and brick façade storefronts along the famed 7th Avenue are shining examples of Ybor City’s rebirth … and it all comes together at Hotel Haya. Through careful renovation and reimagining, the iconic past of Ybor and thoughtful new construction join together in a boutique hotel blending reverence for history and optimism for the future.  Hotel Haya’s restaurant and cafe bring together the cultures that make Ybor City hum. Exciting menus crisscross the globe and cultures from Cuban to Italian, Spanish to Mediterranean.  As a Wedding Venue, brides and groom can experience modern events in historic spaces featuring high ceilings and natural light. It was the perfect location for Samantha and Ryan to tie the knot.

Samantha looked gorgeous in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her father, to join Ryan at the head of the aisle.  The couples’ custom designed wedding ceremony included a Thank You to the Parents, The Blessing of the Hands, and a Knot Tying Ceremony.  Then, in front of their family and friends, Samantha and Ryan shared their own personal vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies. 

Ceremony Music and Sound was provided by Graingertainment, and Venue Coordination by the staff at Hotel Haya.     

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Samantha Cunningham.
