The Best Islamorada Wedding Venues
Islamorada — the "Village of Islands" in the heart of the Florida Keys — is built for weddings on the water, with oceanfront resorts, bayside sunsets, and a laid-back island feel that's a little more polished than its neighbors. From classic beach resorts to intimate boutique hideaways, here are six of the best wedding venues in Islamorada and how to plan a celebration that photographs and films beautifully.
1. Cheeca Lodge & Spa
The grande dame of Islamorada, Cheeca Lodge spreads across twenty-seven oceanfront acres with a palm-lined beach, a long fishing pier, and lush tropical grounds. It's the area's most iconic resort wedding venue, equally suited to large ceremonies on the lawn and elegant receptions indoors or under the stars.
2. Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina
Set on the former Holiday Isle, the Postcard Inn offers a wide private beach, a lively marina, and a relaxed, retro-coastal vibe. It's a flexible option for couples who want a true beach party atmosphere with plenty of room for guests.
3. Islander Resort, a Guy Harvey Outpost
This oceanfront resort pairs expansive lawns and a private beach with classic Keys style. Its open-air spaces and direct Atlantic views make it a strong choice for ceremonies timed to sunrise light or a breezy daytime celebration.
4. Amara Cay Resort
A boutique, modern beachfront resort, Amara Cay offers a more intimate, design-forward setting with a clean coastal aesthetic. Its beach and oceanfront lawn work well for smaller, stylish weddings.
5. Casa Morada
An adults-only boutique hotel on the bay side, Casa Morada is known for its private island and tranquil sunset setting. It's ideal for couples planning an intimate, elevated celebration away from larger resort crowds.
6. The Moorings Village
An exclusive collection of private cottages on an eighteen-acre former coconut plantation, The Moorings offers one of the most beautiful — and private — beaches in the Keys. It suits couples seeking a secluded, upscale destination wedding feel.
Planning your Islamorada wedding
Islamorada's magic is in its water and light, so building your ceremony and portraits around sunrise on the Atlantic side or sunset on the bay side pays off enormously in both photography and film.
