    Thomas wedding 12/19

    This venue was amazing! The beach area is beautiful and Dawn and Chad were both very helpful through the whole wedding planning process. We initially had planned everything outside but it was so windy; the resort was very flexible with getting us in this indoor/outdoor area for our reception. We had a smaller intimate destination wedding and it was more than I could’ve dreamed for. Also, the food was amazing all my guests mentioned that to me!

    We got married at Faro Blanco Resort and Yacht Club last week, and it was absolutely amazing. We were married on the Jetty, with the reception on the veranda/pool deck. The staff is so helpful and accommodating. Brittany and Ashley are amazing to work with and helped coordinate everything. Their preferred vendor list is extremely helpful, and all of the vendors I worked with had a great working relationship with the facility and knew the property. The service staff was so accommodating and the food was amazing! We got so many compliments on the food! For our rehearsal dinner we planned to do a hook and cook, but ended up not catching enough fish to feed everyone, Brittany had it worked out before we even knew it was going to be an issue! We had such a great experience and would definitely recommend Faro Blanco! We already can't wait to visit again!

    I cannot say enough about our experience with Faro Blanco Resort! Brittany and Ashley were amazing ladies to work with! I didn't even meet them until the week of my wedding, but through all of the emails I felt so comfortable giving them control of our day! They know their stuff and do a great job at it! If I had to choose my wedding venue over again I would still choose them! There are just so many things I could say about the resort and these ladies! Our wedding day was the best day, thanks to them!

    I had my wedding at Faro Blanco in April. Brittany and Ashley were nothing short of amazing! Once you step foot on the beautiful property, no persuasion is necessary to host the event on their grounds, but it is the staff that goes above and beyond to make your day the best it possibly can be. We planned the wedding from Texas, which adds a degree of difficulty, but any and all calls or emails were answered promptly and provided a significant amount of information. They made the process and the day of easy. We can’t thank you enough for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams! We highly recommend Faro Blanco Resort & Yacht Club for any event you’re planning!

    All I have to say is Brittany and Ashley are a true dream team at Faro Blanco. They are both just so sweet, really taking the time to make your day special. I couldn't feel more loved. I trusted them with whatever they wanted to do regarding centerpieces. If you end up having your reception out on the lawn, I HIGHLY recommend renting out the bistro lights. They really make a difference out at night on a clear evening. So much love to these girls! Definitely make a trip out to at least view the space!

    I can not begin to explain how absolutely amazing everything was for my wedding!! We had a bit of unexpected weather and both, Brittany and Ashley came to my hotel room offsite to check in on me and make sure we had everything taken care of.
    I booked my wedding about 12 months in advance and can be hard to deal with sometimes. Brittany was with me every step of the way. The team at Faro Blanco treats you like family and goes above and beyond to accommodate every detail you might want or need. The food is the best wedding food I have ever tasted (and I am not just being biased).
    The views are exceptional. The layout is perfect. I could write reviews all day but all you really need to know is that the team is amazing, their flexibility, professionalism, spirit, and quality are something you are not going to find at a traditional hotel venue.

    I cannot express enough how lucky & blessed we were to have Faro Blanco Resort & Yacht Club as our wedding venue & Brittany as our planner! Brittany truly made our wedding magical & absolutely perfect! All of our family & friends are still in awe of our big day & the days leading up to it & that’s all thanks to Brittany, Faro Blanco & the Hyatt Hotel! We did a destination wedding so most of our guests joined us from Minnesota. It was already special for them to be in the Florida Keys from Minnesota but Brittany & the staff at Faro Blanco & the Hyatt Hotel made sure our guests had an unforgettable & unbeatable experience. Our guests have even told us that we need to make our anniversary an annual celebration so they all can come down to the FL Keys… in addition, those guests that are single are seriously considering hosting their future wedding at Faro Blanco! 

    Faro Blanco is absolutely gorgeous & there are so many different wedding package options – they truly worked with us, our vision & our budget! We held our ceremony on the Jetty & then our reception on the yacht club lawn & it was picturesque both during the day (with the views of the ocean, light house, yachts & sunset) into the night (with the working light house & string lighting across the yacht club lawn).

    Brittany is the ideal model when it comes to a wedding planner – from the minute we met her, we fell in love with her fun, upbeat & friendly personality. Brittany made the planning for our wedding enjoyable & easy. She was very responsive, always followed through & had awesome ideas & suggestions. I knew that I didn’t need to have a personal attendant as part of my bridal party because I had Brittany! She will easily become your new best friend!

    From the bottom of my heart – I want to thank Brittany, Faro Blanco & the Hyatt for making it the perfect wedding & celebration! We couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect and they truly made our dreams come true!

    If you are considering a wedding in the Keys then look no further than Faro Blanco. It is beautiful, Romantic and perfect setting for that special day. I can't say enough about the staff here. They were very accommodating and attended to our every need. Weather was not cooperative so they had us set up for inside just in case. Now that's service! Brittany was fabulous and gracious! Thank you for everything Brittany! You are truly a professional!

    This place is AMAZING!! I worked with Brittany Norton and she was excellent at having quick responses to my many, many emails. I changed my mind about what we wanted probably 20 times and every time she was so accommodating, re-crunching the numbers (budget was very important to me) until we found something that worked perfectly. My groom and I did a package that handled the bouquets, officiant, chairs, sand ceremony, champagne toast, and music hook up. We had the ceremony out on the Jetty (beautiful back up space was planned for too!) starting with a welcome rum punch beverage and ending with a champagne toast. Being an out of state bride, Brittany put me at ease. If I wanted to select everything I could, but if I was tired of making decisions, Brittany would step-in because she really saw and understood my vision. It's a beautiful setting. I can't wait to see the amazing pictures especially since the photographer was allowed access to the lighthouse for some aerial shots!! There were so many emails back and forth and the team at Faro Blanco executed everything perfectly and made me feel welcomed. I would highly recommend this venue.

    I can't even express how amazing this venue and staff are!! From the moment I started working with Brittany, I felt like we were best friends. She always gave me a hug hello and goodbye, the sweetest person. She made the whole wedding process smooth sailing for me and my hubby. Her professional opinion and experience told me I was in good hands. As she would say " I got this". Not only was my day perfect the evening was as well with bottle of champagne and strawberrys for us. They really make you feel so special from the moment you walk through the door. Best wedding venue in the Florida keys!! ??

    I proposed to my girlfriend last week by the Faro Blanco lighthouse and stayed at the Hyatt for two nights. I can't say enough about the experience, as it is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. Each member of the staff at the Faro Blanco Resort was friendly and went out of the way to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. Brittany Norton, who is the Catering and Events Manager at the resort, was especially helping and generous with her time in assisting me with planning the proposal and arranging a romantic scene back in the room. When I left I felt like I couldn't properly express my gratitude to Brittany and everybody else at the resort.

    My now fiance and I will definitely be returning when we visit the Keys and even discussed planning a honeymoon or destination wedding at the resort. The one building with a pool-side bar connected to the lighthouse grill is an awesome drinking/chilling spot that I suggest visiting during sunset, since it romantically looks over the lighthouse and the water resembling a postcard. There is also a life-size chess set in the courtyard, a croquet yard, and a set of cornhole boards for other times of the day. I also have to note that the breakfast was delicious and was shocked how reasonable the prices were for room service food. Admittedly, I did not order room service during my stay or eat at the lighthouse grill, but two other guests did recommend the restaurant to us.

    If you are planning a wedding or wedding reception and thinking about having it at the Faro Blanco resort, it is my opinion that you can't go wrong here. Awesome location, awesome people.

    After visiting MANY beautiful hotels in the Keys, our decision to have our wedding at Faro Blanco was easy to make. Caitlyn Rogers was so incredibly thorough and excited while giving us the tour while no other place had treated us in such a friendly way.

    Once we booked with Caitlyn she was always an email away. She paid a lot of attention to details and keeps track of little idea you send her. She also has good information for nearby rentals for any additional things you might need for the wedding. Also Caitlyn would even send me reminders on things I had spoke with her about or last minute things I had to do before the wedding. She is really detail oriented and for someone like me that likes everything a certain way I loved her!

    Another great thing about the reception is that the Lighthouse Grill is an actual restaurant so the food served at the wedding was beyond amazing! I received so many compliments on it. Our tasting to pick out the food for the wedding was so fun we got to go down and personally meet the chef. He brought us out the meals and wanted our opinion on everything. They are very concerned with meeting your needs for your wedding day!

    We had our wedding ceremony on the Jetty on the dock. Although it is hard to envision a wedding ceremony when you see the Jetty without decorations or chairs or the wedding arch, it was completely transformed the day of the wedding. It was honestly everything I had hoped for.

    Caitlyn has a lot of great ideas and she is very on top of things. We had visited many venues in the Keys that were closer to Miami and physically had everything we wanted but as I mentioned before, no one gave us such attention and customer service like Caitlyn did. Everyone here is extremely accommodating and cares so much about making your special day special.

    My husband and I just recently go married at the Faro Blanco this past July. It was the most beautiful ceremony and reception we could have asked for. We had about 150 people in attendance from all over the country. We originally hadn't anticipated all of our friends and family members from out of town actually coming, being we were having a destination Wedding. Over half of our Wedding guests stayed at the Hyatt/ Faro Blanco and loved it. The staff was excellent and the Lighthouse Grill was amazing!

    We got married on the Jetty at sunset and it was breathtaking. I was nervous about the number of guests in such a small space, but Brittany, Myriam and Caitlyn made it work beautifully!! We had some late guests and they still kept everything running smoothly. We had our reception immediately following the ceremony at the Lighthouse Grill (we did the complete buyout of the restaurant, lawn and pool deck. Although it seems like a lot, it was VERY reasonable with the amount of guests we had) The food was incredible. We had passed hor's doeuvres that were exceptional. The wait staff was so great they saved some for my husband and I at our table, along with our signature cocktail. We got compliments from all of our guests on how great the food and service was.

    Overall, our guests said it was the best Wedding they had ever been too! My husband and I had an amazing time and I would highly recommend not only the venue, but also the coordinators. I am a full time Chiropractic student and have crazy hours. Caitlyn and Brittany answered all of my questions and concerns right away and even took care of things I didn't even think of. Loved the Faro Blanco and are planning on going back to stay for our Anniversary :)

    Our wedding reception was perfect thanks to Caitlyn, Brittany and the staff members of Faro Blanco. The attention to detail, the venue, the staff, and the food were all incredible. We are so happy that we decided to have our wedding reception at this location.

    Faro Blanco Resort and Yacht Club was the best vendor we could have asked for. We had a destination wedding and Caitlyn and Brittany made sure to do everything we asked for. I would definitely recommend them for anyone that wants a perfect wedding venue in Marathon.

    My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Faro Blanco.

    One thing that stood out from the start was the customer service. While talking to Brittany and Caitlyn they treated us as if we were spending a million dollars, even though we were spending less than 10k. They were always quick to respond to e-mail or return phone calls. They were beyond helpful with assisting us in decisions for our wedding.

    The food was mouth-watering and full of flavor. We did it buffet style and everyone had big serving sizes plus some guest even took some food home.

    Another great part about Faro Blanco is that we wanted to get married outside by the water (which we did and it was amazing) but we wanted a really nice back up plan which Faro Blanco provided.

    A big plus to this location is that we had the Ceremony and Reception a few feet away from each other.

    Honestly the location was a big part of why we picked Faro Blanco but I strongly believe if this location didn't have Brittany and Caitlyn behind it coordinating and making sure everything went smooth I don't know if our wedding would of been as perfect as it was.

    I hope my friend's get married here because the location is amazing, food is GREAT and we want to go back to see the staff! This place is amazing!

    My Husband and I both grew up in the Keys and wanted to have our Ceremony somewhere we have a lot of memories growing up and Faro was the perfect place. Caitlyn was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. I can not say enough good things about her.
    The staff was fabulous and very attentive. All of the food the chef cooked was above our expectation and we still have family raving about how delicious it all was. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stress free and seamless location.

    We had our wedding at Faro Blanco last weekend. It was beyond amazing! Brittany made the planning process so easy and I was never stressed! The day of our wedding I didn't even have to lift a finger and everything was done before I even asked! It was beautiful and could not have been anymore perfect!

    This spot is a hidden gem. The staff, venue and food are all ????????????. My wife and I got married here on 3/13/16, it was everything we imagined and more. Brittany, the event coordinator, worked with us back and forth to personalize everything just the way we wanted. It was perfect!
    Highly recommended!

    Brittany was an amazing help and sorted out everything extra that we asked for. Even a gorgeous arch and champagne reception. We would thoroughly recommend this venue and this lovely team to host your wedding - you will not be disappointed and will have the most amazing memories!
