The Best Key Largo Wedding Venues
Key Largo is the first island in the Florida Keys and one of South Florida's most relaxed places to marry, trading ballrooms for oceanfront lawns, mangrove-lined bays, and some of the best sunsets in the state. Whether you picture a barefoot beach ceremony or a polished resort celebration, here are six of the best wedding venues in Key Largo — and how to plan a day that photographs and films beautifully.
1. Ocean Reef Club
A private, members-and-guests community at the northern tip of Key Largo, Ocean Reef Club offers a level of seclusion and polish that's rare in the Keys — oceanfront lawns, a full-service marina, multiple event spaces, and on-site accommodations for a true weekend wedding. It suits couples who want an exclusive, resort-style celebration. See our full Ocean Reef Club wedding venue guide for a closer look.
2. Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection
This Marriott Autograph Collection resort sits on the calm bay side of Key Largo with a private beach, manicured lawns, and a coastal-modern aesthetic. Sunset ceremonies on the sand and ballroom or terrace receptions make it a flexible choice for medium to large guest counts.
3. Bakers Cay Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton
Spread across thirteen bayfront acres, Bakers Cay pairs a natural hammock of native trees with a private beach and open lawn spaces. The setting feels lush and tropical, giving couples both shaded garden and open-water backdrops within a single property.
4. Key Largo Lighthouse Beach
A dedicated oceanfront wedding venue, Key Largo Lighthouse Beach offers a private, tropical beach setting built specifically for ceremonies and receptions. Its intimate scale and direct water access make it a favorite for couples wanting a classic barefoot-on-the-sand Keys wedding.
5. Hilton Key Largo Resort
Set on the bay with a mangrove lagoon and waterfront lawns, the Hilton Key Largo Resort is known for its dramatic west-facing sunsets. It's a practical, full-service option with on-site lodging and indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremony and reception.
6. The Caribbean Resort
A boutique bayfront property, The Caribbean Resort is ideal for smaller, more intimate celebrations. Its waterfront deck and beach area are made for relaxed sunset ceremonies and easygoing receptions close to the water.
