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!

We held our wedding at First Flight and it was perfect from the beginning to the end! Justin and his staff took care of everything.

Our guests were so impressed with the setting of our wedding. We feel like it encapsulated the Key West vibe. The staff set up everything for us and the service during the ceremony and reception was exceptional. Whenever I had a question, Justin got back to me right away-very much appreciated when you are planning a wedding long distance. I would wholeheartedly recommend First Flight Island and Restaurant for any type of event you wish you wish to hold.
