5 Stunning Key West Weddings to Inspire Your Big Day

One of the best parts about being a Key West wedding planner is seeing how each couple brings their unique vibe to paradise. No two weddings ever look the same—even when they share the same backdrop. Some couples lean into bold tropical flair, others prefer timeless romance, and some crave the ease of toes-in-the-sand simplicity.

Here are five real Key West weddings that show just how different, beautiful, and personal a celebration in the Keys can be.

A Modern but Tropical Wedding at The Audubon House

This wedding was the perfect mix of sleek and vibrant. The couple wanted a clean, modern look but didn’t shy away from Key West’s lush tropical details. Bold florals, greenery-filled tablescapes, and crisp styling gave the celebration a polished yet playful energy. The garden setting framed it all with natural beauty, making the vibe equal parts chic and tropical.

Why we loved it: The balance of minimal design with bold tropical color felt fresh and unforgettable.

A Romantic Waterfront Ceremony + Ballroom Reception at Hyatt Centric

This couple’s vision was all about blending breezy romance with elegant celebration. They exchanged vows with the ocean shimmering behind them, then moved indoors for a glamorous ballroom reception. From sunset-lit vows to chandelier-lit dancing, the day flowed seamlessly from serene to sophisticated.

Why we loved it: Guests got the best of both worlds—those iconic Key West ocean views and a party-ready ballroom that kept the night going strong.

An Intimate Tropical Celebration at Old Town Manor

This wedding proved that small doesn’t mean simple. With fewer than 40 guests, the couple focused on creating a warm, personal atmosphere full of tropical charm. Vibrant florals, farm-style tables, and glowing candlelight made the courtyard feel like a secret garden made just for them. It was cozy, heartfelt, and brimming with love.

Why we loved it: Every detail felt intentional, and the intimate guest list allowed the couple to splurge on thoughtful touches.

A Romantic Outdoor Wedding at The Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum

This celebration was pure storybook romance. The couple embraced the historic charm of the Hemingway gardens, exchanging vows beneath towering palms and dancing the night away under the stars. Soft, romantic florals and timeless design elements highlighted the venue’s character without overshadowing it.

Why we loved it: It felt like stepping into a novel—timeless, romantic, and undeniably Key West.

A Tropical Beachfront Ceremony at Casa Marina

For couples who dream of sandy toes and ocean breezes, this wedding was the ultimate inspiration. The ceremony took place right on the beach, with tropical florals and airy details that let the natural setting shine. Guests celebrated with cocktails by the sea before moving into a lively reception filled with laughter and dancing.

Why we loved it: It captured the effortless magic of Key West—laid-back yet elevated, with the ocean as the centerpiece.
