Amazing!!!
First Flight did an outstanding job with our destination wedding. We had about 70 guests in the Canopy Garden, and the event was seamlessly orchestrated thanks to the help of Jackie, Justin, and the entire First Flight staff. Everyone was so great to work with, the service was stellar, and Jackie and Justin were both so friendly and responsive throughout our entire planning process! Despite being 1,600 miles away, they helped to make planning a breeze.
First Flight as a venue is pretty unique. The Canopy Garden is gorgeous. From the beautiful palms and lush greenery, to the historic (and covered!) airplane wing bar, it offers a fun Key West vibe while still being beautiful and elegant for your special event. The venue is laid out nicely for guests and offers both outdoor and indoor accommodations for them to suit their fancy.
The food was FANTASTIC!!! I’ve never been to a wedding with such an impressive menu. We went with the Conch Republic Buffet and it was truly out of this world good. The open bar package included fun, yummy drinks like Key Lime Margarita, Key West Rum Punch, Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, etc. (plus all their original beers!) If providing great food and drink to your guests is important to you, look no further than First Flight. It simply cannot be beat.
Looking back a couple months later, I wouldn’t change a thing about our venue selection. Everything was top notch, and the First Flight team we worked with made the experience even better. If you want a naturally gorgeous space that embraces all things Key West for your wedding, with phenomenal food and attentive, professional staff, I highly recommend First Flight!

Son's rehearsal dinner and wedding
We had both. my son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner and reception at First Flight. We are out of state and had to plan the entire event on line or by phone. Justin and his team handled EVERY last detail for us. I even dropped off a bag of items for the rehearsal dinner with NO explanation of what I wanted done with those items expecting to do it myself that night. I showed up to have everything done EXACTLY how I wanted. The food is BEYOND amazing. Justin and his team checked on me repeatedly during both events to make sure everything was ok and I was happy with the service. The space was decorated beautifully and I was thrilled with everything. Thank you FIRST FLIGHT.

Best Welcome Party Venue!
I had my wedding’s welcome party at First Flight and I loved it just as much as my actual wedding. The rooftop was amazing. The food and drinks were outstanding. Brittany is the best bartender! Working with Justin was wonderful! I wish I could relive my welcome party because it was so much fun. By having the entire top floor, we were able to bring our dog and he was having the best night walking among his favorite people. If you’re considering hosting at First Flight…. Do it!!!!
