Most Perfect Wedding Reception on The Treetop Terrace

We recently had our 45p wedding reception at First Flight. From the beginning of planning our destination wedding, Justin Karp was incredibly responsive to all of our questions & ideas. From accessibility inquiries to making our champagne tower dreams come true, he provided solutions for everything we needed. The venue itself stole our heart when we originally saw pictures online but to experience it on our wedding day with attention to detail from the staff was incredible. Working with local wedding planner Jackie Gibson, formerly of First Flight was a wonderful experience as well. Together as a team first flight and Jackie made everything beautiful and seamless.

The Place for your Rehearsal Dinner!

If you have never been to First Flight, make your way over there ASAP. We have always loved this place, so it was only fitting to have our rehearsal dinner there. Justin & Brittanie - we will adore you both for a lifetime. Our rehearsal dinner could have been our wedding based on what you both created. Having Celiac Disease, they accommodated everything to make sure that I could enjoy - which I feel is rare in those larger settings. Don our bartender was the greatest! Everyone here is so kind hearted, knowledgeable and made everything we wished for come true. Thank you all so much for making this day so special for us. We cannot wait to come visit you all again soon!

Beautiful and stress free day

I was very hesitant when my daughter wanted to get married in Key West. We live in PA, and planning a wedding from a distance made me nervous. I had nothing to be nervous about. Justin and his team did a wonderful job. They know what they are doing. The site is gorgeous, the food fantastic, and the staff friendly and welcoming. First Flight is a 10 out of 10!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
