Whether you’ve been following along with our journey through the Florida Keys, or are just tuning in now — because you’ve made the best decision ever to start your forever in SoFlo — we’re going to come right out and say that ANY wedding-related event (be it your bachelor/bachelorette, your wedding, or your honeymoon) planned here will be epic. If it’s your nuptials celebration itself, you can go for a modern and tucked-away natural setting in Key Largo or plan a paradisiacal party in Islamorada, you can make once-in-a-lifetime memories with your MVPs in Marathon or sneak away to a private island in, say, Little Torch Key, to say ‘I do’ in the presence of a select few. Or, you can really shake things up and treat your guests to a next-level occasion at one of Key West’s historical landmarks (Hemingway has quite a few here). We promise you’ll be blown away by any look + locale you choose, but as you’re considering options, feel free to use our own “Florida Keys Wedding House” meme map as your guide.
Oh, and this is all done for entertainment, so just have fun with it! Take note of our notes, get lost in the photos, and then do your own digging. You’ll learn even more from exploring the sites and socials of these Florida Keys destination getaways. We seriously don’t have faves, we’re fans of them ALL...
