Hello all,

My FI and I are looking to have a destination wedding in the Keys. We're thinking around 50 guests, would like a beach ceremony and a venue or restaurant on the water or overlooking the water. We aren't paticular to a certain Key but would like a reasonable price ( less than $8k). Thanks in advance!

    Try contacting Pierre's on Islamorada. It is absolutely gorgeous!

    Is 8k the budget for your whole wedding or just the venue/food? Our budget was 12k for everything and we could not afford Pierre's. We picked Marker 88.

    I just came back from Pierres last weekend... its absolutely beautiful!

    If it weren't for their max occupancy of 104, I'd be all over it!

    They are pretty expensive but with a budget of 8k and 50 guests, you may be able to do it! Up to about 46 guests, you don't have to rent out the entire location, meaning they don't close it out for you, and you save on not having to pay the site fee, which is the most pricey part!


    Call and talk to Tina, she was super nice and took the time to talk to us about everything and give a walk through of the location... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!


    If you give me your email, I can send you the information she sent me once I get home tonight.

    8K would be the food and location. I'm looking to find my own photographer, since the pictures are so important to me, and probably a florist as well. 

    ** WeAreGs, I messaged you my email address. Thank you everyone!!

    Pierre's is probably your best bet for Islamorada then. I don't know much about Key West but I know I didn't like any of the options for Key Largo.

    I'm getting married in Islamorada at the Chesapeake Beach Resort. We picked it because we wanted to get married on a beach, and we wanted our guests to be comfortable and have an enjoyable relaxing stay. The thing with Chesapeake is that we're really just renting the space from them, and we have to bring in caterers and things. This worked out well for our budget wedding, because we are able to bring in catering from Miami rather than paying for Keys catering (because the keys are small and a common place for weddings, most wedding-related things down there are very expensive). Let me know if you want any more information!
