Absolutely beautiful and spacious venue!

Whimsical Key West house is breathtaking. It's a true tropical oasis with so much space making it the perfect venue for hosting an event even during a pandemic. We chose the Key West house prior to COVID and the venue was flexible and helpful when we decided to change our date as a result. What makes this venue so unique is the number of different areas (pool with the lovely limestone-looking deck, HUGE back lawn with string bistro lights that provide ample lighting, banyan tree, a secret little grotto, fire pit, and a cool side-yard with a huge anchor and sand) on the property so our guests were able to experience the full beauty of it. Even better, while we weren't able to use the indoors of the home, we could use the two getting ready spaces that were perfect for our groups. The family who owns the home and the staff that supports the venue were extremely helpful throughout the day. They were welcoming and supported us in getting the fire pit area ready for our DJ (e.g., getting the power set-up), answering any questions we had, assisted our planner in getting the vendors situated, and circled the property in advanced to ensure everything looked its best. Beyond this, they allowed us to use their dryer when one of our ring bearers had a pool accident in full wedding attire! All in all the Whimsical Key West House was exactly what we wanted for our big day!

The best venue ever!

Where do I begin?! The venue is an absolute dream. The owners, Xiomara and Ramon are the best! They are both extremely kind and accommodating. The venue is kept in perfect condition, truly looks out of a magazine. All my guests were shocked with how beautiful the location was. I can't say enough good things about it! I'd do it all over again if I could.

This place is absolutely stunning! I had my wedding there 3 weeks ago and everyone I know is still talking about it. The owners are extremely accommodating, whether it's the color of the pool light or moving their furniture around. They want your special day to be as magical as it can be and this place will definitely do that. The bistro lighting is beautiful and the trees are light up. Breath-taking doesn't quite cover it. It was a joy to work with Xiomara and Ray and I would recommend this venue for anyone who wants their wedding to be memorable and spectacular.

We found Whimsical Key West House after our original venue plans fell through, just a few months before our wedding. It was a hidden gem that just opened shop as a venue, and as soon as I saw it I knew it was the perfect place for us! We were looking for something backyard style and homey feeling, with lots of pretty trees. It was just that, and everyone kept talking about how pretty it was! The owner of the property and manager, Melanie, were also so kind and amazing to work with. It's difficult to find a venue of this style in Miami, so if you're looking for something different than the typical hotel or Miami Beach vibe then I highly recommend this place!

WORST ending to the most perfect day of my life.

I had my wedding here February 26, 2022 and it was amazing up until the very end. The owner of this home must be losing her damn mind. We were told by the owner of this house that the music had to be off by 11 PM but we were more than welcomed to stick around after in the fire pit playing a guitar and roasting marshmallows. At 11:05 the owner of this house CALLED THE POLICE on her own party. We were about 30 of us just roasting marshmallows nothing wild happening at all. Everyone was on their way out already when she called the police. No one was able to grab honey favors because this woman went crazy. Do you know what it is to be kicked out of my own wedding? Do you know how embarrassing it is for my guests to have heard the owner of this house yell from her second floor balcony “EVERY ONE GET THE F$CK OUT OF HERE.” When a groomsmen went back into the backyard to ask if the owner needed help picking up she replied “are you with the wedding party? No. I just need you all to get the f$ck out off my property.” Not only that, she accused the groomsmen of breaking something in the grooms suite. (Which was not broken) She accused the groomsmen of drinking her alcohol. (Which they didn’t) My mother left this venue balling her eyes out of embarrassment. Don’t rent your house out of you’re gonna act like an uneducated animal. I have never been more disgusted by a grown woman’s behavior. I DO NOT recommend this venue to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This amazing property is certainly a brides dream venue location. Xiomara and Ray the property owners are one of a kind. The property is certain worth visiting. Every time we cater a wedding at this venue everyone feels right at home and no one wants to leave at the end of the evening. We team with Xiomara to do tours and tasting once a week. Give Josh or Xiomara a call and book a tour and tasting. It is certainly worth the visit.
