in Florida-South Florida
The majority of our guests, as well as FI and I, will be traveling to our Key West wedding from Chicago and Kansas City. I'm working on the information for our website and wonder for all of you KW brides who are also DW brides, how did you tell your guests to get to KW? Most of my guests will be flying in to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. I know they can rent a car but do you know of other ways they can get from the Miami area to KW? Does the speed boat/ferry still run? Can they order transfers for a flat rate? Do you recommend any companies for this? Any suggestions are much appreciated. I feel really responsible for getting everyone from Miami to KW for some reason even though I know they are all adults and have traveled before. TIA!

    There's buses or vans that will take you from Miami Airport down to key west and back. I'm not sure how much, but there is a few companies out there so you could shop around. Or check with the resort you are having your wedding at. Maybe they can arrange transportation for everyone. I'm having my wedding in Key West and some of my family is coming from out of state. I havn't really told anyone HOW to get there as I assume people should know where the Keys are...LOLSeriously though, block a few rooms off in a hotel for your guests and tell them this info on your website (thats what I did). They should be able to take care of the rest. If that seems like too much trouble, Travel Agents can help or even Wedding Coordinators in Key West.

    I would definitely tell them to fly into KW unless they don't mind the drive.

    That drive is hellish.There are a few small airlines that fly from FLL and MIA right into Key West. They are puddle jumpers though, so just be warned :)

    Wow, I never thought of the drive as being bad, its a little less then 4 hours but very scenic. I thought the whole point to the Keys was to experience the 7 mile bridge and all the little quirky stops along the way. If you fly in, you're missing all that. I go down to Key West all the time and I love the drive :)

    Thanks for the advice ladies! The website is done and STDs go in the mail next week so fingers crossed everyone gets there with as little hassle as possible!
