Our Perfect Wedding
We chose Bernadette & team to be our full service wedding planner through recommendation from a friend. We could not have been more satisfied with the end product. We told Bernadette our priority was a "fun" wedding and that we were willing to spend in certain areas but really aimed to save money where possible. We got exactly what we wanted - we are certainly biased but it was the most fun wedding we have ever attended and I believe many of our guests felt the same. There were some areas that my wife and I did not really care about (flowers, decor, etc.). We asked Bernadette to basically do the bare minimum where it would still look nice - and it looked gorgeous. There was still obviously quite a bit of work and planning on our end leading up to it - but Bernadette and Irisha did such a good job it allowed our day to be almost entirely stress-free, even with the heat index hitting 108 and our venue deciding to do construction the day of. We also appreciated all of Bernadette's connections to the other vendors. She was able to easily bring in and recommend anyone we needed. We would definitely recommend Family Affair Key West to any other couple looking to do their wedding in the Keys. -

Bernadette and her staff were incredible!
Bernadette and her whole team were awesome. They made my dream of getting married in Key West a dream come true! And more importantly, she didn’t care that it was going to be a small scale event! Bernadette told me and my now husband, that small or, we all deserved to have a great day regardless of the size of our event!!
I highly recommend A Family Affair!!Family Affair Key West Wedding Planning Services's reply:
Theresa and David - it was my honor to assist you and I love that you mentioned "Everyone deserves a Key West wedding" as that is exactly how I feel - no matter the size or the budget - I love the couple's happy faces just like the Two of YOU. Bernadette & Team -

Our Dream Wedding
I don’t even know where to begin!!! I am so grateful for Bernadette and her team at Family Affair for making our wedding day the best day of our lives! From day one Bernadette and her team made the planning process a dream and as stress free as planning a wedding can be. No matter what I needed Bernadette was always responsive, answered all my questions, and always gave honest advice and guidance. The actual wedding day went flawlessly, and I did not have to worry about a single thing because of Bernadette and her amazing team. Our wedding vision was executed to perfection and so many of our guests came up to us and told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. If you need a wedding planner in Key West Bernadette and her Family Affair team are who you need!! -

Matt R. Sent on 12/28/2023Can't Recommend Family Affair Enough
Can't recommend Bernadette and her team at Family Affair enough. Not only did they take our ideas and execute them PERFECTLY, but they were also able to help us with the details we might've missed without them.
During the planning phase, Bernadette and the teams knowledge and connections throughout the Keys we're invaluable to us. We do not live in Florida so it is really hard to imagine pulling off the wedding we had without them.
The day of the wedding went so smoothly, and with them on our side we were able to enjoy our dream Key West wedding without having to worry about the little details. We would recommend Family Affair to anyone getting married in Key West, you will be in good hands if you go with them.
Thanks again to Bernadette and the Team!

So yes use them you will not be disappointed.Family Affair Key West Wedding Planning Services's reply:
Jenny it was such a pleasure to work with you in April 2023 and April 2020 (which we postponed until June 2020) - I feel as if we are friends as we have worked through all the ups and downs of the pandemic and most recently was smooth sailing - I have enjoyed planning with you - you are decisive, creative in color/design, as well as calm and pleasant. I wish you and your growing family all the best for love and happiness. Bernadette -

Bernadette and her team at Family Affair were awesome when it came to planning our wedding.
From initial contact to when the wedding concluded in to follow up they were always responsive, scheduled and professional. Overall coordination was perfect.
They exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day one to remember!
From the first call you have with Bernadette you will know they are experienced in planning wedding ceremonies.
We are from Michigan and had a destination wedding in Key West FL and even with our wedding being a destination the planning was seamless and the event turned out awesome!
We would highly recommend her team for planning any wedding or events for that matter. Thanks again Bernadette!Family Affair Key West Wedding Planning Services's reply:
Tim and Shawnta - it was a pleasure working with both of you - based on our short planning time frame - the weekly calls really help all of us to allow your vision to come to life - but I loved them since by the time we got to your wedding day - I felt like we had known each other and were friends! I wish you all the best for a wonderful and loving life together! Bernadette (and team) -

Andrea R. Sent on 04/23/2023Wonderful experience, would 100% make the same choice again!!!
I don’t even know where to begin! The Family Affair team was honestly amazing! I was hesitant about a full service planner from the beginning only because we had quite a bit of the vendors already figured out on our own, but planning long distance I knew we needed it for so much more! Having Bernadette and Irisha to help all along with the timeline and details was so worth it, especially once hurricane Ian hit FL right before the weekend of our wedding and we had to postpone two months… I don’t know what I would have done without their patience and help in getting things rebooked and reconfirmed.
I definitely had a vision and might have been pretty specific on some of it but they were very receptive to what I wanted and took time to go through things with me; sometimes multiple times when I was being indecisive (sorry lol). In addition to the team leading up to our big day, Allison and Fernando were amazing for the day of. They showed up the evening before for our rehearsal and were so helpful in talking through how the day would go. Alison was a huge help in the morning getting things taken care of while we got ready, even down to having to secure a last minute change of plan for our cake cutting key lime pie… she arranged to have it picked up and taken to the venue without hesitation. They did a perfect job on the set up of both our beach ceremony and the design of the reception… from what I heard, Fernando spent extra time perfecting all the details too… they truly made our dream day come to life, it was better than I could have imagined! I definitely cried some happy tears when I walked in to see everything set up before guests arrived.
Thank you doesn’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for all that Family Affair did for our big day. I keep telling my husband I want to do it all over again; it was just amazing and it all happened way too quick!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!Family Affair Key West Wedding Planning Services's reply:
Andrea...
my heart is full - thank you for taking the time to elaborate on your experience with Family Affair and the team individually! I really believe we give our all for each and every couple no matter the package they select. For you and Robby being Day of Planning you did much of the work yourselves - but we kept in contact throughout and by the time your event was closer I felt like we really knew each other and understood your vision, then the storm hit - just briefly but as you know travel was the main issue - and so we kicked in to make the changes to ensure you would walk down the aisle and the party would be awesome. I couldn't be happier to hear that when the day finally came it was more than you could have hoped for! I wish you the best in love and laughter for years to come!

Nicole G. Sent on 01/27/2023Who you need to hire!
Bernadette and the entire team at Family Affair is who YOU NEED to hire for your wedding in Key West! I came to Bernadette with a dream and a budget and she executed every detail flawlessly! I contacted her and had no idea where to begin, she calmed my nerve from day 1. We took a trip down to Key west and Bernadette drove us personally to a few different venue sites that were within our budget and told us her pros and cons about each location and from there we ultimately chose The Oldest House for our venue because I mean who wouldn't its absolutely stunning and once Family Affair does their thing, its even better than you could ever imagine! I was all over the place when it came to theme and details and Bernadette really focused on my wants and needs and every detail matched perfectly. They make the whole wedding planning process a breeze and you can incorporate as little or as much personal detail as you want and they will incorporate it flawlessly. They truly are the best and my entire weekend PERFECT because of them! Thank you guys so much, I will ALWAYS cherish these memories! -

Kelcey L. Sent on 12/08/2022Fantastic Day of Planning Service
I was hesitant to have a planner in the beginning because of the price for just "one day of services". However, I'm SO happy I did. Family Affair was 10000% worth every penny. Bernadette was easy to talk to and scheduled plenty of calls leading up to the wedding. A month before the wedding, she sent out emails to all the vendors with the timeline and any and all important information.
Being a destination wedding, I was concerned with decor, card box, and other little details. She helped me pick up decor ideas (I didn't want to pay a crazy amount for decor because our venue was so beautiful and rustic as it was). One of her planners, Irisha, helped me figure out what I wanted and we came up with pedestals with some lanterns on them instead of an arch. They provided a card box so I didn't have to worry about flying with one, and they even coordinated with someone to pick up my veil on the day we landed so I could get is steamed.
They came right to our bed and breakfast to do a little rehearsal with the family the day before the wedding, and on the actual day of the wedding, my planner for the day, Allison, came to the inn right on time and was AMAZING. She was with us the entire day and she was just phenomenal. She was there every step of the way and helped us with any and all little things and issues, no matter how minor. We could not have had the night we did it if it wasn't for her. Thank you Allison!
If you are considering hiring a planner to take out some of the stress of the day......absolutely do it. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't decided to. I would have been a nervous wreck! But Family Affair makes it easy and so so stress free. Thank you again Bernadette, Irisha, and especially, Allison!Family Affair Key West Wedding Planning Services's reply:

thank you for the glowing review - we do so appreciate your taking the time to provide full details - I know it helps others searching for the correct planner to assist them! As you have experienced Family Affair is a team effort even for our Day of Planning - you are never left on your own, we are there at every corner! All our best for a wonderful life together!

Best Wedding Ever
Landon and I just came back from our wedding in Key West! Family Affair made our wedding beyond perfection! Their attention to detail, professionalism and helpfulnesss was amazing. On the actual wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing-Yeo and Fernando took care of everything from delivering flowers, carrying my veil, carrying our drinks, kicking out (nicely) unwanted guests, plating our food, and just being kind!!!! We cannot say enough about good things about this wedding planner and would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married! You will not be disappointed! We are beyond happy! -

Absolutely perfect
I cannot recommend Family Affair enough!
We had a destination wedding, so a wedding planner was needed. This team was more than we could have ever asked for. Usually, the bride and groom are VERY stressed with wedding plan; however, having Family Affair, we had no stress whatsoever. We met once in person during the wedding planning process; otherwise, everything was done through email/calls. They were able to carry out every one of my visions for my dream wedding perfectly. They were VERY easy to get ahold of and could answer all of my questions in a very timely manner. They not only carried out the perfect wedding, but also helped to arrange transportation and hotels for all 75 of our guests. They also helped to plan/schedule our events leading up to the wedding (welcome party and rehearsal dinner with bar and catering). Being so far away it is hard to know about all of the different vendors; family affair arranged ALL of our vendors who were FABULOUS. We exchanged visions/pictures back and forth (for things such as cake, flowers, decor, etc) and family affair took it from there. From our photography, to food, to cake/dessert, to DJ, to decor and florals, every one was absolutely amazing. Our guests traveled from all over the country to come and everyone could not stop raving about entire wedding. Family Affair made our dreams come true with the most perfect destination wedding we could have ever asked for! Because of Family Affair, we were able to actually enjoy our wedding weekend and celebrate with everyone who traveled to be there with us. Would recommend to ALL couples seeking the most beautiful and stress free wedding. -
