Key West Florida A Great Romantic Getaway For All

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.

Weddings are very popular here in Key West, with the many locations offered on the island for weddings, any budget size can be worked with. Are you looking for something simple with an intimate party or something a little more elaborate to celebrate with your family and friends. Plans can be made for a ceremony on the beach, a full reception with dinner and dancing or would you prefer to go to one of our many restaurants on the island and reserve an area for your small wedding party? This can easily be accommodated to suit your dream of your special day! Find out what else Key West offers for your ultimate getaway, you already know we have sun, sea, and beautiful white sandy beaches and don't forget about the beautifully luxuriant tropical parks or gardens. You can have your outdoor event, at these locations from early in the morning, in the mid-afternoon, throughout the day, even on the beach up until sunset, and into the evening hours.

After your wedding, you can do the World Famous Duval Street Crawl, and take your guest to some of the hot spots Key West is famous for, such as Sloppy Joe's (Ernest Hemingway's hangout), Hogs Breath Saloon, and Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville, maybe even see him give an impromptu concert, to keep your party and celebration going.

What an ideal location as well for a romantic honeymoon, where you and your loved one can spend time getting to know one another, exploring our warm tropical island. We have many shops and art galleries that feature local artist, many on Duval Street, but others tucked away by restaurants and along the waterfront.

We have much to offer you to do while on the island, so many museums and historical places that make Key West unique to visitors, for example, visit the Ernest Hemingway Home, where guided tours are done, who knows you might even be inspired to write a famous novel walking on the grounds as he once did. Venture into the Mel Fisher's Maritime Museum, and plan your own underwater buried treasure search. Climb all the way up to the top of the Lighthouse Museum, and overlook the beautiful crystal clear waters, surrounding our island. Other museums: our grand Custom House Museum, or The Harry S. Truman Little White House, located in the area we call Truman Annex. Or visit the two rustic forts on the island which were once lookouts for Fort Zachary Taylor, one was taken over by the Key West Garden Club, and has a beautiful gazebo which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. You should also visit the Key West Butterfly Conservatory, in which only the word: Magical describes this place, carry that magic home with you with a little something from the gift shop. The day doesn't stop there wind up at Mallory Square just before sunset for an unbelievable sunset celebration that takes place every evening, with amazing street performances that will keep you entertained.

Why not plan to go fishing while your here? You can venture over to Charter Boat Row, and look at the daily catch and plan your own charter. There are many adventures to be found on the water! Sailing, either on a Dolphin excursion to see Dolphin play, or Kayaking in the mangroves, or ever Jet Ski tours that will take you on a tour around the island. Want to enjoy sunset in a different way? Every day, about a couple of hours prior to sunset, you and your love can enjoy a romantic sunset sail. Or do you want to just relax, soak up some rays, either by a pool sipping your favorite beverage, or underneath a palm tree on the beach, to plan your next days adventure, and finalize these plans over dinner at one of our many restaurants, which offer that unique Key West island flair! Be sure and ask the locals for their favorites!

There are many ways to get to Key West whether your favorite is Car: its such a nice drive down the Florida Keys, visit one of the many state parks along the way, starting in Key Largo with the John Pennekamp Coral Reef, but there are other state parks along the way, namely the Windley Key Fossil Reef, Long Key, Bahia Honda, and also Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. We have also the Sand Key Reef here in Key West and not far from us the the Dry Tortugas National Park, where Fort Jefferson is, this is a great day trip!
