By Peter Estenoz


It is the dream of almost everyone to have a romantic wedding to that someone special, and when people are going to get married they want an occasion and a location that is going to be remembered for many years. For such a location, we recommend the destination of Key West, Florida, as this area is an excitingly beautiful, tropical, and exotic wedding location. With clean, white sandy beaches, and tropical lush gardens, this location offers you the opportunity to get married barefooted on white sands surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean or in a beautiful island paradise.

Key West is a great location for wedding photographs, as it offers an unbelievably natural, backdrop for your wedding photos. It will be an adventure in itself to determine which background you want either ocean waters or native tropical foliage which would be offered in a garden or park setting.

Key West is a very popular wedding destination, it offers something for everyone and can fit whatever size budget you have figured for your wedding. Whether it be a large extravagant event with many guest or a simple intimate family gathering.

Yes, planning your outdoor event on our white sandy beaches gives you unlimited time to schedule your wedding, as it could be early in the morning, or in the afternoon, or have your ceremony at right around an hour prior to sunset, but let the celebrating continue throughout the night!

Ready to continue the celebrating? Take the guest to our world famous Duval Street, and do the Duval Crawl! What an exciting adventure this becomes, as you enjoy such places as Sloppy Joe's which is well known to be one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite hangouts, or venture over to Hog's Breath Saloon where it is said that Hog's Breath is better than no breath at all!
