I am writing to acknowledge the outstanding day of wedding services provided by Coconut Cove. We had guests coming from across the country and from abroad and all were treated very well.

The wedding was executed flawlessly. Paul provided a good template for the wedding, which we were then able to customize through use of our own officiant and external vendors (we used our own DJ and photographer). We got our cake via Paul’s recommendation and the food they provided was great…all guests were happy. The space was really transformed by all the flowers and curtains which were exactingly organized by their personnel. We had about 70 total people in attendance and the space was great for a wedding of that size.

The day after our wedding, as we began to pack up, we were offered a complimentary night so that we could take our time packing up. We thought that was a great gesture.

My husband and I got married here in October, we only had a couple guests and no reception. It was perfect, staff was enthused and eager to help, pictures were amazing due to beautiful views!

My wife and I got married 03/05/16 at beautiful Coconut Cove Resort & Marina! We checked out multiple locations in the Florida Keys, but Coconut Cove was our #1 choice. Coconut Cove has beautiful views, is a unique wedding venue, perfect wedding destination, and relaxing true Keys style!! Magda (owner/wedding planner) was wonderful & very helpful, flowers were perfect, setting was fantastic, food was delicious, and the decorations were beautiful! If you want your family and friends to experience a true Keys atmosphere dream wedding, Coconut Cove is a must!!! The romantic beach ceremony will make your wedding something you will never forget, along with the fireworks we added on, a real crowd pleaser.
I highly recommend booking all the rooms on the property, I believe there is only about 20 rooms as it allowed you & your guest to have your own private oasis/resort for the day before and night of the wedding at least allowing you to party uninterrupted as late as you want. I would HIGHLY recommend Coconut Cove Resort and Marina for any wedding! It is an unforgettable experience for a destination wedding.

My husband and I got married 11/4/16 at beautiful Coconut Cove! Magda was wonderful, flowers were perfect, setting was fantastic, food was delicious, and the decorations were beautiful! There was not one thing I would have changed about our wedding! Magda made everything run so smoothly that I just relaxed and took it all in! I would highly recommend this venue! No one in the keys will make you feel as special as these wonderful people. Very professional & fun! All of the vendors were great as well! Thanks for everything!! Everyone who attended said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

We started looking for a venue a year prior to our date. We checked out four locations in Islamorada and Coconut Cove was our first stop. To be honest, it should have been our last stop too. I knew the second I walked up to the property, it was the one. Add the Jimmy Buffett music playing in the background, the water fall in the background, the sky turning pinkish purple as the sun was going down and the cold Miller Lite she placed in my hand, I was sold. We never regretted making this our venue, not once. Since we were in Maryland trying to plan a wedding in Florida, we needed a venue that was pretty much all inclusive. Coconut Cove is basically a one stop shop for weddings. Magda and Paul Bates along with Patti made it so easy to plan everything. The prices for all of the details are sent to you so you know how much to budget for everything. Although the real total doesn't come in until they send you the REV-3 which is about two weeks prior to the wedding, you can estimate what it's going to cost along the way so you have a pretty close idea. They really take care of it all, cake, decorations, flowers, alcohol, food, photography, officiant, music, anything you could possibly want, they will make it happen. My husband and I were lucky enough to come down prior to the wedding and not only have a sit down with Magda to go over everything but we were able to to do our cake tasting and even sample some of the wedding food and also see a preview of what is considered "the surprise". If you have it in your finances to do the "surprise", DO IT! We did and our guests can't stop talking about it. It really sets your wedding apart from others and makes for unbelievable photos. Magda was there the whole way holding my hand at every step. Paul was our officiant and Patti was even one of the bartenders for the reception. All of our guests had an unbelievable time and were amazed at how transformed the resort was. We cannot thank everyone there enough!!

To plan the perfect destination wedding at this unique venue, be sure to visit and sit down with the owner/wedding planner, Magda. Communicate your wishes and style and trust her to deliver the goods. Magda exceeded our expectations on details such as the perfect bouquet, decor, and photography. The ability to have the welcome/rehearsal party outdoors and also at the venue was an additional plus. Food and service were excellent; staff was unobtrusive but responsive. Although a bit dated, accommodations are moderately-priced and convenient for a wedding party to stay together and enjoy the beautiful pool and surrounds. This venue with one-stop shopping is perfect for the couple who wants to create their own memories!

My husband and I are so happy we picked Coconut Cove Resort & Marina for our special day. Everything was amazing from the decorations to the food, they are very flexible as well as I wanted to bring my own centerpieces, everyone worked with me to make sure we were happy and also suggested ideas when we could make a decision. Thank you again for the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!
We definitely will be back for our first anniversary

May 6th was an amazing day, I will never forget!

Coconut Cove is so much more than a wedding venue in the Fishing Capitol of the World. This magical, oceanside beach front was the perfect setting for the best day of my life (to date)! I highly recommend booking all the rooms as it allowed us to have our own private oasis for the day before and night of the wedding allowing us to party uninterrupted to 2-3 AM! The pool was a spectacular hit with both adults and the few kids that made the wedding and I perk that I didn't know I (the bride) would use DAILY as a place to unwind, catch some rays, and sip a cocktail. Some of my favorite cameo pictures taken by friends and family, are in that pool! The Marlin Room in the big house is also a fantastic add on that was used for my 6 maids, 2 flower girls, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom to get ready in and share a mimosa bar the day of the wedding.

Besides location, Magda worked wonders to ensure that all my wedding dreams came true. She was patient in helping me to figure out colored napkins and sashes were what I wanted and worth the investment of curtains and tropical plants in the reception area to offset it. She helped bring to life an all star menu that my fam/friends raved about for days afterward; she helped compile all my scattered flower ideas into a beautiful floral arrangement for the bouquets/boutenieers/head table/down to the color of the flower petals thrown; she was the most amazing photographer that my seasoned wedding guests were awestruck by her ability to capture stellar photographs while not being seen during the ceremony (I can only find her in the rehearsal photos the day before!) She is an expert, worthy of greater recognition than I could give here. I highly recommend her services: wedding planner, decor consultant, florist, photographer, organizer of bridal party, and the one person you can absolutely trust to get things not only done, but DONE RIGHT on your wedding day. Thank you for the best wedding weekend!

I am so happy with how everything turned out at my wedding at Coconut Cove. Magda and Paul make it so easy to plan everything with step-by-step guidelines that walk you through everything you need to think about. I also love how many services they offer in-house like photography, flowers, cake, catering, fireworks, DJ, wedding planning, etc. that it makes the whole process much easier - no need to juggle and co-ordinate between multiple vendors. Coconut Cove does it all!

I had an Indian/Hindu wedding with multiple events that required a lot of customizing. Magda held my hand throughout the planning process and was unbelievably flexible with everything. She had no problem accommodating my many special requests, and was so friendly, pleasant, and professional throughout. Overall, the wedding turned out so beautifully - the guests were so impressed with the location and decor. Magda convinced me to add fireworks to the event and I am so glad she did because it added an extra level of magic and a month later, our guests are still talking about it! I also highly recommend Magda's photography - she has a great eye for detail and capturing the candid special little moments.

Overall it was such a beautiful experience. With Coconut Cove, you get the cozy feel of working with a small family run business, with all the professionalism and expertise of a big company. Thank you Magda, Paul, and Patty for an unforgettable weekend that we will cherish forever!
