- Many wedding planners and wedding planning companies cater to the Key West bride and groom. Hiring a wedding planner will lessen the stress and pressure on the couple, especially if they are planning their Key West nuptials from states away. Wedding planners, like those at A Simple Wedding, cater to the couple's desires, whether it's an oceanside wedding or a luxurious, formal affair.
- One important decision that the bride and groom will have to make is where to tie the knot. The island of Key West has miles of shoreline for the beach couple, several hotels and restaurants for the indoor couple and even rental boats for an at-sea wedding. Choosing a location without visiting the site, as a destination couple may have to do, makes it more difficult. Websites like Key West Weddings and the Key West Wedding Guide provide a database of all your wedding needs. The number of guests invited also makes a difference. Certain locations can accommodate more guests than others.
- The couple must get a marriage license when they arrive in Key West. The bride and groom will have to go to a Monroe County Clerk of the Court's office, and there is one in Key West, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during the business week. There is not waiting period for out-of-state residents, but Florida residents are required to take a pre-marriage class or wait three days from the day they receive the license before it is valid. Couples should present valid picture identification, such as a passport or driver's license.
- After the nuptials, it's time for the honeymoon. Luckily, in Key West, your honeymoon can start right outside your reception venue. Key West offers many different types of resorts, from hotels to rental properties to cozy inns. If you are a couple looking for spa by day and luxury by night, perhaps a luxury hotel is best for you. If you are just looking for some rest and relaxation together as spouses, a beachfront rental cottage may be right up your alley. Or, stay somewhere different every night as you explore the island. Your wedding planner may be able to recommend some nice honeymoon spots.
- Key West boasts many sites and attractions for every type of couple. The water is vital to your Key West experience, whether it is snorkeling over coral reefs that surround the island or going on a sunset cruise. Key West has some world-renowned restaurants mixed with fun local dining spots. The nightlife on Duval Street is famous for its crazy parties and even crazier concoctions. Key West is a historic spot, and the historic district and museums will give couples a taste of history. Key West has a little something for every honeymooning couple.
