The perfect wedding in Islamorada!
for full wedding planning was the best decision I made! From our first phone call to our final one, Wendy was organized, knowledgeable, and intentional with our time. She had clear goals and recommendations for each chapter of planning. Her preferred vendors list is a collection of incredible people who genuinely care about making your day everything you’re dreaming of. And Wendy’s reputation precedes her—everyone at our venue and every single vendor raved about her and told us we were in good hands. Nothing made that more evident than the big day. Everything was precisely timed and I truly was able to enjoy the day knowing that Wendy and her team had everything handled. Not a single decoration was out of place and it was even more beautiful than I imagined. That absolutely would not have happened if not for Wendy’s guidance, leadership, and vendor recommendations. I couldn’t have been happier. Her assistants Craig and Tisa were also a delight to work with and showed patience and care for our family members. I highly recommend going with “The Wendy Way,” you will not be disappointed!!
Hiring Wendy was as easy as saying “I Do”
From the very beginning, the wedding planning process was smooth, organized, and surprisingly stress-free. Wendy kept us on track with manageable assignments each month, which made planning our entire wedding feel easy and enjoyable instead of overwhelming.
When the wedding day arrived, Wendy and her team took care of absolutely everything. To this day, we still have guests telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended and that everything was perfect. That was all thanks to Wendy and her incredible team. If there were any issues or problems behind the scenes, we never knew about them because they handled everything seamlessly.
Because of Wendy’s expertise, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. Instead of worrying about logistics, we got to focus on celebrating with our family and friends, and those are memories we will cherish forever.
Another huge benefit of working with Wendy is her deep connections throughout the Keys. Every vendor she recommended was top-notch, professional, and a pleasure to work with.
We cannot recommend Wendy and Key Destination Wedding Events highly enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our dream wedding a reality!
The best planners around!
Incredible wedding weekend in the Florida Keys!
Our Dream Wedding, Brought to Life
In the month leading up to our wedding, she ensured that all vendors were contacted, logistics were confirmed, and our timeline was thoughtfully organized. The timeline she created was seamless and kept the entire day running smoothly.
On the wedding day itself, Wendy handled every behind-the-scenes detail with ease, from ensuring guests received their meals to distributing vendor tips and managing anything that arose. We never had to worry about a single detail and were able to truly enjoy every moment of our day.
Beyond her professionalism, Wendy was warm, kind, and truly invested in bringing our vision to life. She made our dream wedding in Key Largo a reality, and we are so grateful for her dedication and care.
A Wedding Day We Could Fully Enjoy!!
On our wedding day, Wendy and her team were prompt, professional, and completely on top of every detail. If there were any issues behind the scenes, I never knew about them, which speaks volumes about how seamlessly everything was handled. They truly lived up to their promise that nothing would be my concern on the big day, allowing me to fully relax and genuinely enjoy every moment.
In addition to her incredible work ethic, it was clear how well respected Wendy is within the wedding industry in the Florida Keys. Every vendor we worked with had nothing but wonderful things to say about her when they found out she was our planner, which gave us even more confidence that we were in the best hands.
I am beyond grateful for Wendy and her team and cannot recommend Key Destination Weddings enough to any couple looking for a stress free, flawlessly executed wedding experience.

What is not to like? I've worked with Carin and Wendy 5 times and have enjoyed making their promotional films for the Florida Keys Destination Wedding Show as well as the show film. Look around for detail oriented people and then look at these two. They seem to have it all organized beyond anything you'd expect. Every bride I've met who has used them can't be live how lucky they were to find them. One of the premiere wedding and event planning companies in the Florida Keys.
We love working with Wendy and Carin. They are professional, experienced, creative, friendly and will make the wedding planning process so easy for you, you will so appreciate making the decision to hire them on your special day! They are awesome!
Key Destination Events has always gone above and beyond to make sure their clients have the wedding of their dreams! As a wedding photographer it's always a relief knowing my clients have hired Carin and her team to coordinate their special day as I know it will turn out perfect and run smoothly! Hiring a professional team like them is SO important to keeping your day as stress free as possible. It's always such a pleasure to work together! Hoping we have many more weddings together in the future!
