What are you waiting for?
If you are looking to host both a ceremony and reception we have the perfect location!
All receptions start at sunset and our agreements are based on 4 hours (plus 1 hour ceremony). Host your ceremony with your toes in the sand right before the sun goes down. After the ceremony everyone can walk down the beach for your private reception. The Park officially closes to the public at sunset, at that time the venue becomes exclusive to your party. The deck is the perfect spot for cocktail hour and dancing. Your dinner tables will be set up in the sand in the midst of beautiful vegetation. To create the perfect ambiance with tiki torches to lead the way a fire pit is set up on the main beach area beyond your dinner tables. Imagine…. dancing under a canopy of stars on the beach in Key West surrounded by only your friends and family!
