Key West weddings are becoming one of the islands top events! What a backdrop for a wedding - turquoise water, white sand, and a sunset rated on the world's top-ten list. There are even vows written to reflect the setting, "As we stand witness beside the ocean tide, may your love always be as constant and unchanging as these never-ending waves . . . " A picture is worth a thousand words, so take a minute, sit back, relax, and enjoy a Key West Wedding.
The wedding planners in Key West work on weddings from simple ceremonies on the beach to the most elegant upscale weddings. They plan weddings with island scavenger hunts, and weddings held on catamarans, schooners, and luxury yachts. There are pirate-themed weddings, traditional weddings, and unique commitment ceremonies.
The historic properties in Key West are popular choices for weddings. Ceremonies can be held at locations such as Truman's Little White House, the Hemingway House, the Key West Lighthouse, or the Armory. Many beautiful tropical gardens on the island, including the Key West Botanical Gardens, are favorite wedding locations as well as hotel ballrooms and island resorts.
One of the most unique wedding locations is atop the water on paddleboards. Local pro-paddleboarder, "Westy" Westenberger, is an officiate and can marry those who wish to exchange vows on their boards while paddling in the scenic back-country waters. Others may wish to exchange vows while scuba diving or snorkeling.
