I forgot about that place. It also reminds me of my ADPi formal a few years ago. It was at River City Brewing Company (in Jacksonville) and it was so awesome. It is in the middle of downtown. We were in a second floor room that had a bar, dancefloor, and dining area. We were surrounded by glass that gave us an almost panoramic view of the river and downtown. There was also a balcony that wrapped almost completely around the place. It was such a fun night.

Don't forget the west coast resorts like Sanibel and such. And if you can overnight and have enough people willing to go, there are some fabulous places in Miami such as night clubs, beautiful hotels, etc. Or maybe Ft. Lauderdale.

OP is looking for something w/in a 2 hour drive, though. That would rule out South FL-- Vero Beach and Melbourne would prob be as far South as they'd want to be coming from Stetson.

I like the W Coast of FL, but it seems silly given all the closer options. Sanibel and St Augustine may be more than 2 hours... Jacksonville possibly right at 2 hours.

Great place to hold it if you are looking for the beach. We looked into using it for formal this yeah with an "everything gets hotter when the sun goes down theme" and then moved in a different direction. Closer to you, there are some awesome places in Cocoa Beach, and Daytona has a bunch of beach hotels as well.
