Perfect wedding
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony and reception. There was not a thing we would change. Not only was everything beautiful, but the venue was easy to work with and posed no issues. We simply enjoyed the day and never had a single worry. We worked with Vicky, who works specifically with the Hemingway Museum, and this definitely added to the ease of the day. All of our guests said how perfect it was.

The absolute best!
Vicky and Hemingway Home were an absolute joy to work with. They were kind, accommodating, fun, and made it so we had the wedding of our dreams. It's always nice when. you can find that perfect combination of professionalism and personality, and Vicky has it in spades! All of the details of the day were covered, and we didn't have to worry about anything other than getting married and being happy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so fantastic!

Our wedding at the Hemingway home was absolutely amazing. Vicky was wonderful to work with especially it being a destinations wedding. She took care of every little detail. Everything turned out perfect and was as stress-free as possible for me in my groom. I would highly recommend Vicky Furman in the Hemingway home as a wedding coordinator and venue.

This is the most beautiful location in Key West to get married. They have a beautiful garden for ceremonies and poolside cocktails veranda and a tropical paradise lawn for the reception. It is lush with tropical flowers, rich with history and home to the cutest cats. Guests always say how they love that they use different parts of this historical home. They even offer tours. I have DJ'ed over 50 weddings here and every one of them was perfect. Vicki, Anna and the whole amazing team, make the magic happen. Professional and attentive, you come to get married and leave with new friends. I give them 6 stars out of 5.
The Ernest Hemingway Home is THE most unique location within Key West to have a wedding celebration. The architecture, history, glamour of years gone by can not be matched. As a photographer who has photographed many events within this beautifully walled garden property, it offers so much to a couple! You can be as creative as you wish - A recent first dance I photographed - the couple incorporated 5 decades of music into their song and then switched up the dance moves. Other brides have provided bound books to their guests - had cigars, typewriters, and lighting incorporated, and one even wore period bridal wear. The grounds are kept immaculately and the staff are friendly. Anna and Vickey are two of the best cooridinators on the island so you will be in great hands!
