The most beautiful venue

The Audubon house is stunning and the tropical gardens added such a beautiful touch to the day. Walking through the gardens, it was tough to imagine how it would look when everything was set up but it completely blew me away. It was the most beautiful setting for our day and many of our guest complimented how perfect the venue was with all the lush greenery and the blooming flowers. I highly recommend this venue!

The perfect garden/historic venue

As soon as I saw the Audubon House, I knew it was my venue, but BOY did I underestimate just how gorgeous it would be on our wedding night!

As a South Florida native, I really wanted a unique venue that was outside, had a Florida feel, wasn't a restaurant, wasn't a ballroom, and didn't have a view of the ocean that would turn into a black hole at night. The Audubon House has the perfect blend of history, a blank canvas for your ideas, AND is mostly outdoors! The natural beauty of the venue means you can save money on flowers and decor, and the layout is perfect for making a wedding of 105+ feel like an intimate backyard soiree... if you lived in a gorgeous historic house just blocks from the ocean in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

The venue events manager, Laura, is so helpful and is a great person to bounce ideas off of since she's seen so many weddings in the space. Her vendor list is full of incredible people who will make your night just as you dreamed. Most of the big vendors are VERY used to working there, which really helped with coordinating logistics, etc.

I can't say enough good things about the Audubon House. Our guests were honestly shocked at how beautiful it was - and looking back at the pictures, I am convinced this is the most beautiful wedding venue in Florida.

Absolute Perfection!

We just celebrated our wedding at The Audubon House and all I can say is STUNNING! Everything about this space is absolutely gorgeous. A hidden gem in the heart of Key West that makes you feel like it’s your own private oasis. Laura was absolutely fabulous to work with and everyone else we encountered there was so kind and friendly. I truly could not recommend the Audubon enough, it was an absolute dream wedding for us!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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...
