Awarded Best of Zola
Dream Bay Resort was an absolute dream for our wedding day! From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. Lana, in particular, was BEYOND amazing - she went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life, even moving around tables and decor at the last minute due to unexpected rain. The quality of their work was picture perfect, with a beautiful beachy ambiance that wowed all of our guests. They even took the time to wipe down every single chair before the ceremony began. We got married a week ago today and every single guest has either called or texted us to rave about what a great time they had and how it was "the best wedding" they've ever been too! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend Dream Bay Resort to any couple planning their special day.

The experience was truly unbelievable. We were married in the water with Dolphins. Two dolphins brough two of our daughters to the beach area. The remaining wedding party was in the water at the beach. We have seven children and two grand kids. The folks at Theater of Sea warned us the dolphins maybe shy and not perform. They loved all the attention. We had nearly 120 folks and it was great, everyone still talks about it. Beautiful walkways and a wedding boat arrival after the ceremony.

Baker's Cay Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding.

They were incredibly attentive, watching the weather closely in October and making quick decisions to adjust our plans as needed. Laurel, the event manager, was the best - she ensured everything went smoothly and that we were happy while working with Lauren, our month of coordinator (Lo Key events).

Key Largo Lighthouse is a complete paradise. From the moment we started planning, everything was a dream. Everyone who came to our wedding had the nicest things to say about this venue, and several told me it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! One of the most special parts of this venue is being able to stay on-site for the weekend with your closest family and friends. The property is absolutely stunning! So well kept, peaceful, and relaxing. It truly feels like your own private oasis where you can just soak in every moment surrounded by the people you love most. The planning process was effortless. Choosing vendors was easy, communication was smooth, and the whole experience was stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious. In my opinion (and many of my guests), it was the best wedding catering ever! The beach houses were so clean and made my day completely worry-free. Everything came to me,hair, makeup, decorating, so I got to relax and enjoy my morning with my bridal party instead of traveling anywhere. Our wedding planner, Ali, was the best decision we made. She made sure every little detail was perfect. Even when I forgot to put my garter on, she was right there to help. She’s professional, kind, and truly cared about making our day flawless. She even took behind-the-scenes photos that meant so much to me. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My wedding day was more than I ever imagined, and I owe that to Key Largo Lighthouse and Ali!
