    Amazing!

    There’s really not anything I can say that hasn’t been said by other reviewers. I will start with the venue itself, it's stunning. The venue is the perfect combination of tropical oasis and wedding venue. I booked the venue sight unseen, and it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The pictures do not do justice to the property. Aside from the setting, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Laura. Laura helped us bring our wedding vision into reality after a nearly three year Covid delay! She was absolutely amazing and was always there to answer any of our questions and offer her expert opinion. This venue is all around amazing.

    Customer Service and Helpfulness was extraordinary

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura at the Audubon House helping me plan my daughters wedding! She went above and beyond her duties to ensure that we all felt comfortable with all of the arrangements. She communicated with all of the other vendors as well to make sure everything was in place. The grounds are beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for my daughters small and intimate wedding. However the venue would accommodate more! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful garden wedding .....thank you Laura!!

    Audubon House & Tropical Gardens's reply:

    Wow Karen, thank you for such a wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure being part of Brenna and Ben's wedding and working with you! I'm happy to hear that it was a magical and memorable day for all! If you ever make it back to Key West, please stop by and say hello. All my best to you and your family.
    Warmest regards,
    Laura

With their lush gardens and stunningly beautiful tropical setting, Audubon House is a great pick for a perfect old island wedding. Steeped in history, and in a location that can't be beat, they always offer great service. It's an intimate setting that's big enough for a dancefloor and large groups without getting lost in a corporate ballroom. As a DJ I love it because it puts me in front of the people who want to dance all night, and still offers a quieter area for those who need to rest their feet for a few...
