December 8th But the earlier you know the better :) We recommend booking lodging and travel soonest as it’s a busy time in Key West during this time
Being there is the greatest gift you can give us! So please don’t feel obligated to get us a gift in addition to all the expenses to get to Key West. For those that want, we’d appreciate any help towards our future honeymoon!
I would recommend coming an hour or more early to walk around the park and visit the actual Fort if you love history. My brother (Jim) will be playing some mood music before so please feel free to come early and enjoy the scenery and catch up with old friends and family or new ones!
Beach Dressy (sundresses, cocktail, slacks, button ups, suits/ties if you'd like, but totally optional)
We might have to play it by ear as we get closer to the date to see if we have room. Unfortunately, we are limited by the Fire Marshall in our reception room at Mangoes upstairs. But if you and your date are flexible with hanging around the standing cocktail table, then we may have some more flexibility there.
Of course, but please give me a heads up so we can plan accordingly. We may need your flexibility with seats at the reception.
Not yet. The chain names nearby are Sheraton, Waldorf Astoria, Hyatt, Fairfield. I would recommend renting a house though as they seem like the more affordable options. Air BNB, VRBO, Trip Advisor, Booking.com, Hometogo. Please look at lodging early as this is a popular time.
There is parking at Fort Zachary Taylor Park, however, I would recommend Uber or Lyft to get you there as all cars must be moved out by sunset when the park closes. Also, we are planning to have the Conch Train take guests from the ceremony site to the reception. Street parking (mostly pay) is available near the restaurant.
Yes! We would like to have a welcome meet up the evening before to share a beverage and catch up with everyone! Will let you know details so hope everyone can get there before Friday at 6pm.
