History

|
Almost 100 years ago, Randolph Townsend Wedding moved his family to St. Petersburg, Florida
(c.1905). Mr. Wedding was in the landscape business and opened a retail plant store on the
site known as the Goose Pond. His son Charles Wedding, a landscape architect,
moved the growing family business to a
location on Haines Road and opened Wedding's
Botanical Gardens. Then his grandson, C. Randolph Wedding, continued and
expanded on the family tradition, becoming both a licensed architect and a
landscape architect, and opening Wedding Architects in 1960. Upon founding the firm, Mr. Randolph Wedding assured the firm's clients, “When you hire this company, you hire me personally. The practice is sized so I can get my arms around it." The firm has rigorously maintained Mr. Wedding’s philosophy to this day. At W+S, every client can always count on personal attention from at least one partner in the firm. |

In over forty years of practice, the Wedding firm has been a leader in shaping the built environment of the Tampa Bay area. Our portfolio includes local landmarks such as the original Busch Gardens in Tampa and the Florida Power (now Ceridian) headquarters in St. Petersburg, and encompasses literally millions of square feet of commercial, office, multi-family, industrial and educational buildings. Back to the Goose Pond . . . We now call it Central Plaza. The new Jim and Heather Gills YMCA, designed by Wedding Architects, now stands on the very site where Mr. Wedding's grandfather started out. |
