Key West – FL

Offers a touch of everything you could ask for in a destination wedding.

Key West is the place to go for a laid-back wedding with tropical flair. The southernmost part of the United States, Key West is the last island in the chain that stretches 100 miles from the end of South Florida into the ocean. This island, rich in history and culture and full of fun in the sun, is a dream destination for your big day.

Key West is surrounded by water, and there are sandy beaches that are perfect for your oceanside ceremony. Listen to the sound of the waves gently lapping at your feet as you say “I Do” surrounded by your family and friends. A colonial style mansion where Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his best-known works is also a lovely site for your garden ceremony.

Lush flowers and foliage are all around, as well as the more than 40 cats that inhabit the grounds, descendants of Hemingway’s felines. For a truly memorable experience, set sail aboard a classic schooner or a luxury yacht and be married on deck. After your dream day has ended, start to enjoy your dream honeymoon. Grab a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, and start off with a stroll down famous Duval Street.

Rent a motorized scooter to explore the Southernmost Point of the U.S. (only 90 miles to Cuba!), and go to Smather’s Beach where you can rent a raft for two and float in the turquoise waters. Take a catamaran snorkel sail to the reefs, where you’ll see tropical fish, sea turtles, and maybe a shark or two.

Don’t miss a spectacular Key West sunset celebration, a daily event at Mallory Square, and end your day where it began, hanging out on Duval at Sloppy Joe’s and the Hog’s Breath Saloon. Key West is a fun-filled destination for a wedding and honeymoon that you’ll never forget.
