Question

When should I RSVP by?

We will be sending out formal invitations this summer, however if you already know you will be attending (or not) feel free to let us know.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin a half hour prior to sunset. The Ocean Key anticipates that will mean a 5:30 pm start to the ceremony, but the time may change slightly. Please plan to arrive just 5:00 pm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is "island formal." We've been assured by those "in the know" this is a recognized island wedding dress code. We trust you to interpret it appropriately...no bathing suits. We're on island time, baby!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please don't do that to us.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Unfortunately, to keep the size of our reception manageable for us and our ocean-adjacent venue we've decided not to extend invitations to any children outside of our immediate families.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! Please visit the "travel" page of this website. We've included some recommendations there, but encourage you to select the Key West accommodation that's right for you. Between hotels, motels, Airbnbs, and Bed & Breakfasts (and if you're feeling daring, houseboats) there are a multitude of great places to stay on the island.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Of course! Please let us know about any dietary restrictions.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Our venue is a short walk from accommodations in downtown Key West. Most hotels and Inns outside of downtown offer shuttle services to and from the main drag.
