Rich in history, character, diversity and fun, The Pier is an excellent venue for themed parties or special occasions.  Hosting an event at The Pier would offer guests an opportunity to experience St. Petersburg on another level.   The distinctive structure houses five floors, some of them lending a different atmosphere for the perfect party, reception, luncheon or dinner meeting.  From formal to creative to relaxed, The Pier has the perfect place in store for you!
