150 miles south of Miami, and about 90 miles from Havana, Cuba, you’ll find the small island community of Key West. The southernmost point of the continental United States, Key West has some of the most exclusive wedding venues in Florida. Just 4 miles long by 2 miles wide, Key West is a small island with a lot to offer. Perhaps a bit more princely than most places in Florida, there are plenty of places on Key
West that can be affordable, if not absolutely free. If you are looking for wedding venues in Florida that are the
‘business as usual’, Key West is probably not for you. But if you’re looking for Florida wedding venues that are unique, exciting, romantic and fun…take a trip down US 1. But don’t forget the rest of the Florida Keys…locations on this long island
chain too.

Since Key West is a tourist town, there are many hotels (large and

small) however, don’t count on providing your guests with an inexpensive

place to stay. If price is a concern, try booking your Key West wedding

during the low season or during the summer when rates drop considerably. Also,

Consider renting a vacation rental as a lodging alternative.
