First Flight did an outstanding job with our destination wedding. We had about 70 guests in the Canopy Garden, and the event was seamlessly orchestrated thanks to the help of Jackie, Justin, and the entire First Flight staff. Everyone was so great to work with, the service was stellar, and Jackie and Justin were both so friendly and responsive throughout our entire planning process! Despite being 1,600 miles away, they helped to make planning a breeze.
First Flight as a venue is pretty unique. The Canopy Garden is gorgeous. From the beautiful palms and lush greenery, to the historic (and covered!) airplane wing bar, it offers a fun Key West vibe while still being beautiful and elegant for your special event. The venue is laid out nicely for guests and offers both outdoor and indoor accommodations for them to suit their fancy.
The food was FANTASTIC!!! I’ve never been to a wedding with such an impressive menu. We went with the Conch Republic Buffet and it was truly out of this world good. The open bar package included fun, yummy drinks like Key Lime Margarita, Key West Rum Punch, Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, etc. (plus all their original beers!) If providing great food and drink to your guests is important to you, look no further than First Flight. It simply cannot be beat.
Looking back a couple months later, I wouldn’t change a thing about our venue selection. Everything was top notch, and the First Flight team we worked with made the experience even better. If you want a naturally gorgeous space that embraces all things Key West for your wedding, with phenomenal food and attentive, professional staff, I highly recommend First Flight! -

We held our wedding at First Flight and it was perfect from the beginning to the end! Justin and his staff took care of everything.
Our guests were so impressed with the setting of our wedding. We feel like it encapsulated the Key West vibe. The staff set up everything for us and the service during the ceremony and reception was exceptional. Whenever I had a question, Justin got back to me right away-very much appreciated when you are planning a wedding long distance. I would wholeheartedly recommend First Flight Island and Restaurant for any type of event you wish you wish to hold. -

We used First Flight as the Welcome Party location for our wedding in Key West and it was fantastic! The Treetop Terrace was absolutely stunning with plenty of space for our 65 guests to move around with ease. The service was excellent and the food and drink was delicious. Justin was so friendly and easy to work with, too. We are so pleased with how everything turned out! -

Cecilya O. Sent on 04/03/2024Thank you to Justin and the whole FF Team!
We had our wedding reception at First Flight on March 22nd, 2024 and it ended up being a VERY rainy day. Although we were not able to have our dinner reception in the outside terrace area as we had planned, they had it beautifully set up in the covered area upstairs, and let me tell you, Justin and the whole team went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless and flowed smoothly! We cannot thank them enough for everything they did in order to make our wedding day perfect. Despite the rain, we all had the best time ever, the service was on point everyone was very attentive and friendly, and the food was incredible (many of our guests mentioned that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding)! Justin and the whole team were on top of every detail from beginning to end! I know they had to work extra hard because of the weather, with moving tables around to open up the dance floor to managing the flow of cocktail hour with the space we had. We are forever grateful for Justin Karpp and the entire team that made our day extra special! If you are considering First Flight for your big day, or any event, do not hesitate to book them - you will not be disappointed! -

We had our intimate wedding dinner/reception at First Flight in the Treetop Terrace and it blew us out of the water! We barely had to bring any decor since they provided tables, linens, centerpieces, ambiance and the classic Key West greenery. The whole venue is very scenic and gave us everything we were looking for in Key West venue. Justin and the team really went out of their way to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and suggested things that we didn't even think about! The food was also excellent - we went with the Caribbean Nights buffet option and everyone was talking about the roasted pork all night! -

Alex F. Sent on 03/20/2024The welcome party venue of our dreams!
We had our wedding welcome party at the private Treetop Terrace at First Flight and all I can say is WOW. The venue space, atmosphere, food, and staff were all above and beyond our expectations, and it was truly the perfect evening. We had never actually been to the venue and booked it solely based on photos and reviews online, and I couldn't be happier that we did. Once we arrived and saw the space in person, we could not stop talking about how great it was - the photos online don't do justice to how dreamy and cute it is. The tropical vibes, the string lights, and being on the treetop balcony during sunset made it the welcome party of our dreams. Justin and his team were so helpful, accommodating, and great at communicating leading up to the event, and our guests ranted and raved about how much they loved the venue and the food. We had about 70 guests and the space was plenty spacious, while still feeling cozy and intimate. Everyone had the BEST time, and I wish I could re-live this night all over again! -

Savannah Sent on 12/17/2023Amazing experience with first flight!
I spent a year planning my wedding which was just over a week ago (12/12/23). First Flight was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Key West. I could not have asked for a better venue to have had my wedding at! Seriously such a beautiful place and the vibe is awesome. Just the right amount of classy and fun. The food was absolutely incredible! I usually don’t enjoy the dinners at weddings, but ours was so good and the apps were phenomenal. We did the bacon wrapped scallops, jerk chicken skewers, coconut shrimp, empanadas, brisket mac n cheese, and the wings and everything was incredible. Justin helped me the whole way through with every detail I planned and was so helpful. The drinks were sooo good too. I loved that we were off of the street it was so fun to have people cheering us on while they walked by. I would recommend this place to anyone, seriously 10/10 -

From the communication with Justin-to the food- to the set up of the upstairs area for our reception. I cant even begin to describe just how perfect this spot is for weddings. My profession is essentially food- and let me tell you, this is not your average wedding food. its EXCEPTIONAL. Every guest told me how great the buffet was. The bar service was wonderful as well! altogether well worth it no matter the cost. -

Our Key west wedding.
We couldn't have been happier with our choice of First Flight Restaurant and Brewery for our wedding reception. This place holds a special spot in our hearts, as we've always enjoyed visiting whenever we're in the Keys. The food and ambiance have consistently impressed us, so when we discovered they had a Treetop terrace, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day.
The reality surpassed our expectations; the grounds were rustic yet exuded an elegant charm that was absolutely perfect for our celebration. The pictures truly didn't do it justice.
The food and venue were both stunning, and our family couldn't stop raving about how beautiful everything was. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the atmosphere, and it set the stage for a magical evening.
We had the pleasure of working with Justin and his team, and they were amazing throughout the entire event. The day went off without a hitch. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and expertise, which made our wedding an unforgettable experience.
First Flight Restaurant and Brewery, thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to make our special day truly extraordinary.

Patti S. Sent on 09/26/2023Wonderful small wedding venue
After 20 years together we decided to make it legal with a wedding at our favorite place, Key West. The team at First Flight, particularly Justin, Jackie, and Danielle were awesome. Their vendor list was very helpful too. We're foodies and their food options and quality were top notch. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in Key West. -

Best wedding venue in Key West
First Flight was a dream for our wedding. Jackie handled everything flawlessly! My husband is a pilot and First Flight was the perfect theme for the venue. Our guests loved the atmosphere, the string lights, and continue to talk about the food and drinks. 110% recommend for a reasonably priced yet amazing venue that still have our guests raving over our wedding! -
