If possible, please plan to arrive Thursday or early Friday to join us for the Welcome Sunset Sail. If other commitments or travel delays prevent you from attending, not to worry, as we look forward to celebrating with you on our big day!
We will be staying in Key West through Monday, February 15th. If your schedule permits, we would love for you to join us for the long weekend to keep the celebration going. In addition to being Valentine's Day, Sunday, February 14th is Super Bowl LXI and we plan on organizing a location for everyone to gather and watch the game. Monday, February 15th is the President's Day federal holiday.
We recommend booking your stay as soon as possible, as prime locations on the island tend to book up quickly, especially over a holiday weekend.
Check out the Travel & Lodging page of this website for some suggested places to stay, but there are many more options to choose from on the island if the suggestions don't fit your travel needs, style or budget.
You really don't! Key West is extremely walkable. There are also bike, scooter, and golf cart rentals that are fun ways to get around the island. Ubers, Lyfts and taxis are also readily available. If you’d like a rental, or are driving your personal vehicle, we recommend double checking that your lodging accommodation has available parking. Street parking can be hard to find at times on the island.
February in Key West typically means pleasant, sunny, dry weather with average highs in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-60s, perfect for outdoor activities, though occasional cold fronts can bring cooler days and chilly nights. Please check the weather forecast before packing.
The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be outdoors, held in the beautiful gardens and grounds of the Hemingway Home. The reception area will be covered in case of rain.
As much as we love your little ones, due to limited capacity at the Hemingway Home, our wedding will be adults-only.
If you'd like to bring your kids along with you on your trip to Key West, Anchored Hearts is a licensed, insured, and highly rated babysitting service for vacationing families: https://www.ouranchoredhearts.com
Plus-ones will be specifically listed on the invite if included. Due to limited capacity at our venue, we can only allow the individual(s) named on your invitation. Please reach out if you think we have missed someone.
Resort casual attire is recommended. There won't be an opportunity to swim, so you don't need to bring a swimsuit.
The recommended attire for our wedding is "Tropical Chic". Think of it as island cocktail attire - sophisticated, yet relaxed. We recommend light, breathable fabrics to stay cool, especially if the weather is warm. Ladies, think elegant, flowy dresses, skirts, pantsuits or chic jumpers, and gentlemen, linen or lightweight pants with a dress shirt or blazer—no shorts, please. Comfortable shoes are encouraged as the celebration will be in the gardens and grounds of the Hemingway Home.
