    The Best Wedding Venue in Key West

    When choosing a venue, my daughter and her fiancé had the option to have their wedding at many places on Key West. We are overjoyed that the Bride and Groom chose Southernmost Beach Resort. As a mom, I helped in a lot of the planning and Jena Rose made every step fun and easy. The venue is right on the water and their ceremony backdrop was a sunset on the ocean. It was stunning. Southernmost took care of all the catering and all of our 85 guests raved that it was the best steak and fish they had eaten in a long time. The reception was on their South Beach under a tent lined with lights. It was magical. The guests danced all night and when they were not dancing they were hanging out by the oceans edge in the beautiful breeze. Southernmost set up a smore's station that all the guests could not get enough of! We also had the rehearsal dinner on the West Lawn followed by a welcome reception for out of town guests. Again the food was awesome. Some people saying the sliders and fish tacos were the best they ate their whole stay. We followed the wedding reception with a Farewell breakfast on the beach the following day with a buffet full of the yummiest breakfast foods. The chef took extra care to honor all allergies and intolerances. The communication with Jena Rose along the way was constant and through. She made the planning easy and always was there to answer any and all the questions I had. If you are considering a Key West destination wedding I would HIGHLY recommend Southernmost. It goes down as the best vacation and event we all have ever planned.

    Beautiful and serene

    We got married October 30 on the Southernmost beach and it was beautiful. Granted our original venue on the resort got damaged due to hurricane Ian l, the staff was accommodating in getting us a new location without any issues. The food was spectacular and we continue to get compliments on it, the bar staff was fun and friendly, and I was able to watch the setup from my room which was a huge bonus! We couldn't have asked for more on our wedding day, our expectations were blown out of the water here.

    Construction

    Please take in consideration that this resort is under construction and that guests are dropped off next to dumpsters that are covered with a fence for the oceanfront ceremony spot. Everything else was beautiful though

    Stunning Wedding!

    My husband and I got married at The Southernmost Beach Resort on March 4, and it was the most perfect day! The resort offers a beautiful setting, beachfront sunset ceremony. We utilized the conference room as the bridal suite which allowed us to have hair and makeup services with plenty of space. Additionally, our ocean front suite was breathtaking! All of our guests were so happy- the food was delicious, Fernando and the bar team went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with our experience!

    Professional and efficient

    JenaRose, our Wedding Coordinator at the Southernmost was exceptional.
    She was able to accommodate my every request and tended to all of our needs throughout the entire process , from the moment we booked up thru our wedding day.
    BRAVO Southernmost! You were beyond my imagined experience.

    Beautiful venue!

    JenaRose made everything so easy! We had a beautiful room and great service. The only fallback was that our room was not ready at check in time (but was maybe an hour or so late) which cut into some planned events (a tiny bit) but other than that it was perfect.

    We had the most amazing, beautiful wedding at this resort.

    Don't hesitate to use this resort for your wedding. The team is amazing, the property has so many options for a beautiful wedding. I planned our wedding in five weeks. No planner and was rescheduling a Hawaii wedding due to COVID. It turned out so fantastic. Zero regrets!! So grateful and blessed!

    Beautiful and accomodating

    We're so happy we chose to have our wedding at the Southernmost. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and it's right on the water with its own private beach. We had our ceremony on a separate small sandy area, which was perfect for the amount of guests we had (55), and it was more private. The staff were accommodating, we never had an issue. The bar staff were fun and engaging. The food, amazing!!! We ended up choosing the pig roast, and everything was delicious from the appetizers to the meal. Everything about our wedding at the Southernmost was everything we imagined and more. Now we will stay there every time we go and visit since it has a special place in our hearts!

    Wedding Venue

    Picking out a Venue for your destination wedding without doing it in person is a big deal! We got engaged in Oct 2018 and I started researching the next month. I feel in love with Southernmost Beach Resort, it has so much charm! They have a Private Beach on site that is where we had our ceremony and our reception was held on the public beach, sitting next door to The Southernmost's Beach Cafe. I based my pick solely on pictures and the fact that both ceremony & reception would be held on the beach - which is what we wanted. We had 64 ppl total, including us. The resort itself is located in or near Old Towne Key West and that reflects in the architecture. When we checked in, we had a bottle of champagne, a charcuterie board & a thank you note from the resort, thanking us for choosing them for our wedding & stay! What a nice touch! The staff & bartenders were amazing during our stay! I booked Southernmost by February 2019 and immediately started working with JenaRose, who answered all my questions promptly and helped me with decisions, for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception details. We got married on February 22nd, 2020 at Southernmost and it was beautiful! My research paid off and I truly enjoyed my wedding! I'm so happy I picked this resort for our big day! Also, we ate at the Cafe multi times on our stay in KW, the food was top notch! Thank you, Riki & Tyler

    Southernmost Resort was perfect!

    Our son's wedding reception was so beautiful at Southernmost Resort on November 15! A beautiful tent with chandeliers and tiki torches around the outside on the beach. The food and service were excellent. Round tables with linens and crystal made it very elegant. A dream wedding for sure! Thank you Southernmost Resort!

    Amazing Place to Have a Wedding!

    My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at the Southern Most on 11/23/19 and it was amazing. First of all, JenaRose and her team were a dream to deal with. They are responsive, patient, and helpful. We worked together for 11 months and I had nothing but positive experiences. The grounds are gorgeous, the rooms are beautiful and clean, and wedding day went off without a hitch. We got married on the private beach, and our reception was on the public beach. Both areas felt private. We also used SoMo for catering and our guests raved about the food - so delicious. We managed to pull off a laid back, barefoot wedding, that still felt elegant and classy. You won'y regret booking SoMo for your wedding!!

    We held our ceremony and reception at SOMO on June 1, 2018 and it couldn’t have been more perfect. JenaRose was great and made planning a breeze. Jane was amazing at coordinating our room block and making sure our guest room requests were met. The staff who set up and worked our wedding and brunch the next day provided impeccable service. The venue is laid back and provides a relaxed atmosphere which is just what we wanted. We wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    The Southernmost Beach Resort was beautiful, accommodating and everything we could have asked for in a wedding venue. The communication was fantastic considering we organised the wedding from England. They were happy to accommodate us with any questions we had and always had a quick response. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this resort to have your wedding at. Thank you to all at The Southernmost Beach Resort.

    When my now husband and I went to take a tour of the Southernmost Beach Resort we immediately knew this was the venue we wanted to get married at!
    With less than a year to plan, we had to get moving! Jane Brannigan, the Group Sales Manager was so wonderful to work with. I had her send me many different room rates for many different dates and she was always so friendly and willing to help! When we signed our contract we began working with JenaRose McCall, the Catering Sales Manager. She is extremely professional and knows the ins and outs of the business and the resort. I had a lot of questions for her and she was always so helpful! The resort itself is breathtaking. We had many guests traveling from all over the world, and we could not wait for them to experience the resort and Key West. Everyone was treated with top notch service during their entire stay. There was not one complaint, and people are already saying they can’t wait to go back!
    As for the wedding, we chose to have the rehearsal dinner, wedding and post wedding brunch all at the resort. It made things so much easier, as people were not traveling around Key West for the different events. The rehearsal dinner was held at the Tranquility Pool. The space was set up so beautifully, the food and drinks were great. The day of the wedding I rented out the conference room space which was a perfect idea. When we got to the room the morning of the wedding it was set up with chilled bottles of water, mirrors, and other little details like cotton balls, q-tips, makeup wipes.
    Our ceremony took place on the private beach. It was absolutely breathtaking! The reception took place on South beach, and it was outstanding! The food and drinks were out of this world, service was top notch! I cannot recommend this resort enough !

    We did not use Southernmost as our wedding venue, but rather as the resort we stayed during our wedding weekend. My husband & I live locally in the Keys & often head to Key West for a weekend, having stayed here many times. We opted for Southernmost for their spacious rooms, & wonderful location. The staff was so amazing! The bridesmaids got ready in our room, having hair & makeup done there as well. (Some hotels in Key West do not allow this.) The staff checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. We had our 1st look photos taken on the property & they turned out beautiful!

    I had a picture perfect wedding day!! I got married at Southernmost Beach Resort on March 10 and I couldn't be happier with how beautiful the day was. The food, service, weather and views were amazing!! Everyone loved the steak and mahi-mahi. It was a destination wedding for my guests and they were very impressed. JenaRose and the Family Affair team were super helpful during the planning process. Thank you so much!

    Nailing down the perfect hotel property for a destination wedding can be scary, especially if you find yourself in a position where you won’t be able to visit the site. That said, the Southernmost Beach Resort wound up being a great pick.

    Our wedding was so beautiful, and the food was amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food, and we still have guests trying to re-create some of the dishes we picked. When envisioning our wedding, we wanted our closest friends and family to celebrate with us and at the end, everyone wanted just a little more time to dance under the stars.

    However, I wish we would have been more clearly informed about the two different sides of the resort when setting up our group booking. I’m sure that a lot of our guests would have been willing to pay the extra money to be on the beachside. Hopefully, they’ve gotten their phone issues resolved as well, as it was difficult (at times) to get the appropriate person on the phone when checking on our group bookings. M & D

    Married at the Southernmost resort on Saturday, 6/18/16. We booked 11 rooms for family and friends and arrived together in a bus from Ft Lauderdale ready to party and just relax until the wedding. Luis greeted us at the main Lobby with a huge smile and directions to where all of us were staying at the resort. It took a little bit to get through the process but we were motivated and ready to hit the pool and the bar so after an hour everyone had a room and we left reception to go to our rooms. Quickly finding each other at the bar at the pool and the festivities started. I highly recommend renting the two main cabanas at the Shores pool. The cabana personnel bring all kinds of goodies to drink and eat for everyone and the cabanas have ceiling fans to keep you cool. We all loved the cabana's so much we rented them for everyday we stayed at the resort, even the day of the wedding. The room was gorgeous. I recommend staying beach side in rooms 639 or 739. Beautiful views of the ocean. The Cafe accommodated all of us when we stayed on site. Marta the manager made sure everyone had a seat. The staff were efficient and attentive. The food was just excellent at the cafe along with the drinks. No one had a complaint to make about the cafe. The resort opened up a stand alone building for the day of the wedding. The hair and makeup team we brought from Ft Lauderdale had plenty of room to set up. They did not have a shampoo bowl, only a small sink. The room had Mimosa, sparking and bottled water, a tray we had purchased from the resort for our guests called Something New. Everyone had plenty to snack on. My favorites included the salmon and the bruchetta. We were checked on several times during the 7 hours until the wedding started. If you are going to get married this is the caterer to use for your wedding. All our guests raved about the filet and lobster. There were so many servers catering to my guests. I can't say enough about the resort or the cafe. We will be staying at t

    We hosted our destination wedding at the Southernmost Beach Resort. Overall, we were very happy with the end result and all of our guests had a wonderful time. We did experience a few hiccups along the way.

    The Southernmost's grounds are beautiful. Our ceremony and reception looked amazing and guests raved that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The resort is well located on the island, making it easy for guests to get around and experience Key West. The food at the wedding was excellent, as was the staff. Jena is very professional and easy to work with. We appreciated her help throughout the planning process immensely.

    We had a very difficult time with our room block booked at the hotel, it ended up being the most stressful part of the entire planning process. Reservations were mixed up, guests had a difficult time booking their rooms, many who called to book a room couldn't get a hold of the reservations desk for days. We complained multiple times and nothing was ever escalated. It felt at times like no one wanted to deal with us. Upon arrival, our own reservation was mixed up but the front desk was kind enough to take care of it and upgrade us. Signing a contract on a room block at the Southernmost was our biggest regret in wedding planning and we wish we had just let our guests find their own accommodations.

    On our wedding day, there was confusion from the staff, things that had not been communicated. The food & beverage manager changed during planning & items discussed at our tasting were no longer available as a result. In the end, we loved our wedding day and nothing could have ruined it. We are very appreciative of the staff that went above and beyond for us, there are some outstanding people working at this hotel. However, the resort gave us the impression they are not well managed and have room for improvement.
