The Best Key West Wedding Venues
Key West — the southernmost point in the continental U.S. — is one of Florida's most characterful places to marry, mixing Old Town charm, historic architecture, and some of the best sunsets anywhere. From grand oceanfront resorts to intimate tropical gardens, here are six of the best wedding venues in Key West and how to plan a day that photographs and films beautifully.
1. The Casa Marina, a Waldorf Astoria Resort
The grande dame of Key West weddings, the Casa Marina sits on the island's largest private beach with a storied 1920s pedigree. Its oceanfront lawn, palm-lined sand, and elegant ballrooms suit couples who want a polished, full-service resort celebration with room for larger guest counts.
2. Ocean Key Resort & Spa
Perched at the edge of Mallory Square, Ocean Key is famous for its front-row seat to the nightly sunset celebration. Waterfront decks and the Sunset Pier make it a natural choice for couples who want their ceremony timed to a legendary Key West sunset.
3. Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa
This Old Town waterfront resort pairs a private beach and marina with easy access to Duval Street. Its coastal-modern spaces and sunset-facing decks work well for medium-sized weddings that want resort convenience close to the action.
4. The Marker Key West Harbor Resort
A boutique harborfront resort in the heart of Old Town, The Marker blends British Colonial and Bahamian design with three pools and intimate event lawns. It suits couples wanting a stylish, walkable celebration steeped in Key West character.
5. Audubon House & Tropical Gardens
For an intimate, historic setting, the Audubon House offers a restored 19th-century home surrounded by lush, orchid-filled gardens. Its shaded brick paths and tropical greenery make it ideal for smaller, elegant garden weddings.
6. Truman Little White House
A National Historic Landmark and former presidential retreat, the Truman Little White House offers a rare, exclusive setting with manicured grounds and timeless architecture — perfect for couples who want a distinctive, history-rich Key West wedding.
