    Beautiful venue and great staff

    We loved our intimate wedding at Cheeca! The location on the beach was beautiful and the staff was great, especially Irena! The food was delicious at dinner and brunch-we got tons of compliments from guests staying at the resort for their overall experience. The location is really beautiful for photos!!

    Casitas Micro Wedding

    We got married at the Casitas at Cheeca Lodge and Spa with just 16 guests. It was truly a magical day! You cannot replicate the beauty of the property they have there-- with the enormous palm trees going all the way up to the water and the private exclusive beach. It was out of a magazine and all of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the day. Further, the food was phenomenal. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. It was pricey but completely worth it and I wouldn't change a thing!

    Micro Wedding at the Beachfront Casitas

    Our wedding planner actually brought Cheeca Lodge to our attention after we discussed a vision of a private beachfront wedding. After visiting the property, I knew it was going to be the most perfect place. Emily Kirk was wonderful to work with and the property was incredibly accommodating to us throughout the entire process. Our wedding ceremony was in front of the beautiful beachfront Casitas and our reception was on Spa Island. I highly recommend Cheeca as a wedding venue or even just a beautiful place to vacation!

    All I can say is WOW. I attended a wedding this past weekend here and it was truly a magical experience. I have never been somewhere so beautiful and relaxing in my life! My fiancé and I had never been to Islamorada so we weren't sure what to expect but this blew our expectations out of the water. Upon checking in we were unfortunately given the wrong room that was originally booked. After letting the staff know this they went above and beyond on accommodating us. Giving us free meals and drinks as well as discounts on our room which was so unexpected. The staff here are very accommodating and professional especially Jean Chery. I would definitely consider the Cheeca Lodge a top venue to hold your wedding! Allison from The Golden Pineapple Event Company did an amazing job coordinating the wedding with Checca Lodge. With this being the first wedding I have ever been in I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of ANYTHING lol but Allison had everything planned to a t. Making sure everyone was OK, even fed and hydrated. I had such an amazing experience at the Check Lodge. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed our experience so much we will definitely be back again!

    We just got married here on the beach August 13. I've been speaking with their wedding coordinator, Annaleigh for about a year now planning everything and I must say, everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT here. Every single one of the staff members was friendly and accommodating. The rooms were amazing, especially our suite with the tub on the balcony. This is a 5 star + resort and we want to go back every year! Even our 4 year old kids won't stop talking about the hotel. Top notch service, especially from Annaleigh. We cant to make an annual trip here---Could not have had a better wedding experience anywhere else.

    When I started planning my small destination wedding, I was drawn to Cheeca Lodge because it was absolutely gorgeous. In the end, I don't think we saved any money by doing the small destination wedding but we got a great family vacation and the best wedding ever! The wedding coordinator for Cheeca, Annaleigh, was absolutely wonderful. I met her once and the rest of our communication was mostly through email. She helped me and my dad (who was just as involved as I was) with any question we ever had. She made me feel so special, emailed back quickly, and set my mind at ease when I was feeling stressed. The day of the wedding was perfect, she was around the whole day and literally my wedding was everything I could imagine and more. The referrals she gives for hair, flowers, cake, music were all excellent as well. Cheeca was a beautiful place to get married, if you're big into pictures like I was you will not find a better place for your wedding pictures! We got married right on the sand and had our reception inside (due to rain) and it was great. The food was excellent and the staff were all so friendly. Definitely recommend Cheeca Lodge to anyone looking for a place to get married in the Keys!

    The service from Cheeca Lodge was stellar. Everyone from the wedding coordinators, bellmen, hotel staff, wait staff, spa staff, etc. was great. The vendors that we picked off of their vendor list were wonderful too. Charlene and Annaleigh were extremely accommodating. All of the little details were covered. The food menu was customized to our liking. We did not have to worry about the event details the weekend of our wedding. Our guests raved about the food and accommodations. We had such a spectacular time during our wedding weekend at Cheeca. We hope to visit yearly on our anniversary.

    Make sure you give yourselves plenty of time to enjoy what the resort has to offer. The easy part is checking in. The difficult part is checking out as you don't want to leave. If you are planning a special occasion Charlene will make the experience unforgettable.

    Annaleigh and the rest of the staff at Cheeca Lodge & Spa gave my new husband and I the most amazing experience. Everything was absolutely flawless! I heard several times that I was the most relaxed bride anyone had ever seen, and I feel it is because I knew I could completely trust Anna with everything and I was right! Every little detail was exactly what we wanted. The scenery is breathtaking, the food was the best we have ever had, and the service was outstanding. My friends and family had a great time! I couldn't have pictured a better day. I highly recommend having your wedding at Cheeca Lodge and working with Annaleigh. Thank you to Anna and everyone else at Cheeca for giving us the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!

    Our wedding at Cheeca Lodge was...perfect! The wedding location was beautiful, the staff was superbly accommodating, our room and the resort was immaculate, and the food was delicious. Annaleigh, in their catering department, was organized, gracious, helpful and professional. Whatever we asked for, she was more than obliging. We had decided to get married 3 weeks before the date. With the help of Annaleigh, I was able to plan the entire wedding (complete with wedding site, food services, officiant, photographer, hair/nails, spa treatments and floral services) within ONE week!! I did not stress about a single thing! We had never been to Cheeca Lodge before and heard good things from everyone (including from vendors not associated with Cheeca) so our expectations were high. The moment we stepped out of the car we were greeted by a friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and relaxed environment. We ate at the restaurants every day during our stay and had great experiences with both staff or food. I also enjoyed the gym, spa and spa pool during our stay. All were clean, quiet, modern and well maintained. The spa experience was simply delightful. We had never been to Cheeca Lodge before our special day, but we will definitely return the next time we stay in Islamorada. I would highly recommend this location for anyone planning a wedding (big or small), or other special event, in The Florida Keys.

    An amazing site, staff, and service for your special day.

    We could not have had everything go more perfect and smoothly. The wedding department was very easy to deal with and they tried hard to make options and accomodations easy for us while doing a beautiful job.

    We especially have to thank the catering coordinater, Annaleigh Jaildagian, for really going out of her way to make our day extra special!

    I recently had the most amazing wedding at Cheeca Lodge. It was my fiancé and Is dream to get married in Islamorada and Cheeca Lodge was the most perfect place. to start with Annaleigh and Charleene are the most amazing people to work with. They are so knowledgable and calming and gave me my dream wedding. everything was exceptional from the day we set foot at Cheeca on the wedding weekend. The staff was amazing as very accommodating. The food is just incredible from breakfast to dinner. I had everyone at the wedding state it was the best wedding food they have ever had. I would highly recommend the surf and turf to anyone planning their wedding. we had our whole wedding outside and after our dinner found out there was a storm coming. This could have been a disaster but Annaleigh made the transition to the indoor location so smooth I managed to stay calm. from that point on they accommodated all our needs.
    I would get married in a heartbeat again at Cheeca Lodgeand owe my amazing experience to Annaleigh the catering coordinator, Charlene and the rest of the amazing staff.

    My husband and I have been coming to Cheeca Lodge for years and it is absolutely our favorite place to vacation - which is why when choosing locations for our wedding, it was an easy choice!

    We held a 4 day destination wedding with our guests coming in from all over the country (even a few internationally) and we needed a place that seamlessly handled lots of moving parts as the home base :) We did not have the ceremony or reception at Cheeca in order to break up the location of events but everything else was done there. 100+ guests in from out of town with many requests and activities went off without any hitches - which I felt impossible!

    Aside from the beauty and uniqueness of Cheeca, the reason our wedding weekend went flawlessly was due to the events manager, Annaleigh Jaildalgian - she is PHENOMENAL! I cannot even begin to put into words how wonderful, professional, sweet, precise, and thoughtful she is - the best.

    From constant changes with room blocks, the menu, cocktail reception, etc etc etc, Annaleigh handled everything with poise, speed and calmness - exactly what a bride needs :) She made us feel like the ultimate VIP guests taking care of us at every moment, sending us notes and champagne, and checking in throughout our entire stay. People are still thanking us for having our wedding there, and I know all of my guests will be vacationing at Cheeca in the future!

    I would highly recommend using Cheeca Lodge for your wedding events, it truly is an incredibly special place that no one will ever forget.

    Ana was so helpful and amazing. She made our wedding everything we could imagine it would be. She was warm and friendly and made us feel at ease and able to enjoy our day because of her attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. It was an amazing experience all around.

    My husband and I recently got married at the Cheeca Lodge and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect location. The views were unbelievable and everyone who worked at the Cheeca was so nice and really made sure our day was perfect. Our wedding coordinator took excellent care of us and met our every need with enthusiasm and willingness! The Cheeca is a beautiful venue for weddings and vacationing!

    I got married at Cheeca Lodge & Spa in August of 2013. The grounds at Cheeca are amazingly beautiful and all the staff was extremely nice and helpful. As for the wedding, the venues from Lagoon Beach for the ceremony, to the Sunrise Ballroom for a cocktail hour overlooking the ocean, to the Bourgainvillea Ballroom for the reception is unbeatable and absolutely beautiful. Not to mention the food was delicious!

    Charlene and Annaleigh, the coordinators paid attention to every detail and were extremely helpful. I planned our wedding from Illinois and was extremely impressed with the responsiveness of these two and all their help was much appreciated. We could not have asked for a better day and we owe so much of it to them!!!

    Cheeca Lodge & Spa was amazing, I had the most stress free wedding day! The resort is absolutely gorgeous and classy! The food for the wedding is catered from the resort and is AMAZING!!! Alan, the event planner is very organized, creative and a pleasure to work with!! He had a list of vendors to pick from which made it easy, once I picked the ones I wanted he handled the logistics. I can't say enough good things about Alan and Cheeca!! If you are thinking about a beach wedding this is the spot!!

    My husband and I have been coming to Cheeca for a few years now. Upon our 1st ever arrival at Cheeca we were amazed at the beautiful grounds and gorgeous architecture of the building. We walked in and were awe struck by the beauty of the main lodge. When we decided to get married last year we went to Cheeca and got engaged on the beautiful pier. Annaleigh Jaildagian was our coordinator & I can not begin to say enough good things about this GEM...I am a HUGE fan!!!
    Annaleigh was able to explain things clearly and precisely, she was very detail oriented and not only did she do her job with the utmost professionalism, she obviously also handles her clients (or at least me) with warmth and care. She went above and beyond to hit on every point, answer every question, and just make me feel like I was the only client/bride that mattered. She is a true treasure and by far an amazing asset to the Cheeca team. Our wedding went beautifully and all of our guests enjoyed the event as well as the entire Cheeca experience tremendously. The staff in general were fantastic...as we always know and expect. So happy with all of it!
