Dream Bay Resort is a romantic wedding venue in Key Largo, FL. Imagine having a private waterfront property, all to yourselves, just you and your guests, among the swaying palms and shimmering waves of one of the Florida Keys' most beautiful and unique wedding venues!

Dream Bay Resort is a private, family-owned waterfront property with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Keys' unforgettable sunsets. Located just an hour from Miami International Airport, Dream Bay Resort can accommodate weddings of up to 200 guests, including 36 staying on-site in our 5 lovely cottages. We also offer simple yet romantic elopements and microweddings for up to 50 guests.

Our gorgeous property is an ideal spot to spend time with your family and friends before and after your ceremony. There is plenty of space for you and your wedding party to spread out and celebrate your big day.

5 stars!!!

Dream Bay Resort was an incredible venue for our wedding weekend. We actually reserved it without ever seeing it in person, which felt like a bit of a leap at the time—but it truly could not have worked out better.
Because we were planning our wedding from outside the country, we opted to use their on site property manager / wedding planner Lana and we highly recommend anyone considering this addition to not think twice!! She went above and beyond to make things easier for us, was always available for any questions and was extremely easy to communicate with and was ultimately the reason why our entire weekend went exactly as we hoped it would. She even allowed us to ship packages to her ahead of time so we didn’t have to travel with bulky items. That level of support made such a difference while planning from afar.

We hosted three events over the weekend—a welcome party, our wedding, and a brunch. Lana truly brought our vision to life for each one. Her creativity and eye for décor are incredible. She was able to recreate Pinterest inspiration we sent her from just a single photo, and everything turned out even better than we imagined. The entire Dream Bay team was amazing, and they handled the setup and breakdown of tables and chairs for all of our events, which made the weekend feel seamless.

One of the best decisions we made was renting out the entire property. Being able to walk between the cottages to visit friends and family throughout the weekend made everything feel intimate and relaxed, and it made getting to each of our events incredibly convenient for everyone.

Obviously the setting itself is absolutely stunning— the sunsets and waterfront views provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos.

Absolute perfection!

Lana and Tanya are amazing. The cottages and area is beautiful. If you want a seamless wedding from start to finish you have to get married here. It's a quaint little seclusive area that's beautiful to the mind's eye. I couldn't have been happier. Lana is great at what she does. Perfection at its finest💕

Perfect for a Family Getaway + Wedding

We chose Dream Bay Resort cause we wanted a wedding that felt like a family vacation. They were great from the get go offering us multiple different options (including moving around the bbq so we could do a family bbq the day after in one place!). One of the most important parts for us was including our dog in our wedding and she was there, a star, and easily able to step away when our reception was too much for her. I cannot thank Dream Bay enough for helping to make our dream wedding come true!

Wedding Resort

My family and I spent 2 days at this resort. We rented out the entire property and we were married here. We had an amazing time. I could not have picked a better venue. This place is breathtaking. The staff were amazing. Lana was just incredible. Very good communication. Each cottage was very clean and modern. The property grounds were Immaculate. My family had nothing but great things to say. We didn’t want to leave. This is the best wedding venue hands down. I can’t get over how amazing this entire property is. My family and I will definitely return. This place is amazing.

Wedding Perfection

I just want to say, if you are looking for a destination, this is it!!! Not only are the natural views breathtaking, but the grounds are too! We were able to use the property to create different vibes for each night that we were there! A paella dinner by the bar and pier, a taco night under a tiki and the most amazing wedding dinner beachfront! Lana was amazing, and so was her staff! Anything that we wanted, she said, no problem! She had a way of making a destination feel like home! As the mother of the bride, I felt a huge weight in trying to pull off a wedding so far from home. Lana removed that weight and let me enjoy my daughter’s wedding!! I cannot recommend them enough!!

A Perfect Wedding .... Highly Recommend!

Coming from Miami for a four-day wedding extravaganza, we found the value, the beauty and the ease of planning were amazing at this very special location. Many guests were out-of-towners and loved the cottages! We booked the entire property and had four days and three nights of an unforgettable memories. The day before the wedding, we had a fun day just enjoying the beach, kayaks, paddle boards and the chance to be together in a casual atmosphere.
The vendors recommended by Dream Bay were spot-on - they knew the property and handled everything with a professionalism -- allowing the bride and groom (and families) to just enjoy the time!
Our recommended "bundle" would include: Tony and A Moveable Feast for outstanding food and service, Lori and Island Blooms for the freshest, beautiful flowers, Gina/The Pastry Mermaid who treated us with a Key Lime/Coconut Rum wedding cake, DJ Mayner who "read" the crowd perfectly and Jannette De Llanos wedding photography who captured it all with ease and professionalism. Don't forget Mike's BBQ101 to kick off the 4 day celebration with a beach gathering. (Will review these individually.)
If you're looking for something special, our guests said this was "the best wedding they've ever attended!"

Gave us our dream wedding!

Dream Bay Resort, but specifically Lana and Janice, went so far above and beyond to give us the day of our dreams. Lana was our day of coordinator but also texted with us for months leading up to the wedding making sure every detail was perfect and taken care of. Janice indulged pur every request and even had cocktails ready and waiting the second the ceremony finished, such an amazing show of customer service. I can’t recommend Dream Bay enough, I promise you won’t regret getting married here, it’s the most beautiful venue you could ever imagine.

Best weekend ever!

Dream Bay Resort was an absolute dream for our wedding day! From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. Lana, in particular, was BEYOND amazing - she went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life, even moving around tables and decor at the last minute due to unexpected rain. The quality of their work was picture perfect, with a beautiful beachy ambiance that wowed all of our guests. They even took the time to wipe down every single chair before the ceremony began. We got married a week ago today and every single guest has either called or texted us to rave about what a great time they had and how it was "the best wedding" they've ever been too! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend Dream Bay Resort to any couple planning their special day.

Our Dream Wedding In Paradise!

Oh my where to begin.... We had our wedding at Dream Bay Resort in February 2024 and it exceeded all of our expectations!!! The property is absolutely gorgeous with views that you only see in movies or postcards. The staff was beyond helpful and accommodating for anything we needed. Lana the property manager was incredible in making sure our weekend was perfect! She was a GODSEND. We rented the whole property for the weekend and had a welcome party Thursday, the wedding Friday, and a Brunch on Saturday. Our events had 100-125 guests and everyone fit perfectly. Our wedding party and immediate families stayed in the cottages on the property which was super convenient. Our guests are still telling us what an amazing weekend they all had. We are so beyond grateful for this beautiful property! Thank you for making our dreams come true!!! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this venue!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
