A Captivating Florida Keys Wedding Venue
My family and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our daughter's wedding at The Oasis, a stunning 3-acre private estate located at 82703 Old Hwy, Islamorada, Florida. Owned and meticulously cared for by Doli and Mark, the hosts extraordinaire, The Oasis provided an enchanting backdrop for a weekend filled with love, laughter, and lifelong memories.
From the moment we stepped onto the property, it was evident that The Oasis was more than just a wedding venue; it was a carefully curated haven where dreams come true. The attention to detail exhibited by Doli and Mark in maintaining the estate is truly commendable. The lush grounds, adorned with beautifully lit palm trees, created a magical ambiance, especially in the evening when the lights shimmered, casting a warm glow over the celebration.
The highlight of our wedding weekend was the breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean that served as a picturesque backdrop for the ceremony. The sound of the waves, the gentle sea breeze, and the golden Florida sun all contributed to the idyllic setting that every couple dreams of for their special day. The Oasis seamlessly blends natural beauty with thoughtful landscaping, creating a one-of-a-kind experience.
We opted to extend our celebration over the weekend, hosting a rehearsal dinner on Friday, February 16, the wedding on Saturday, February 17, and concluding with a delightful Sunday brunch on February 18. The flexibility and versatility of The Oasis allowed for a seamless transition between events, ensuring that each moment was as special as the last.
In conclusion, The Oasis at Islamorada is not just a wedding venue; it's a destination where dreams are realized, and love is celebrated in its purest form. Our daughter's wedding was nothing short of epic, thanks to the enchanting atmosphere created by Doli and Mark. If you are seeking a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, impeccable service, and a touch of magic, The Oasis is the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to Doli and Mark for creating an unforgettable experience that will be cherished by our family for a lifetime.
Sincerely,
The Atkinson FamilyThe Oasis's reply:
Thank you so much for all the kind words, we are still blushing! It's our goal to ensure we can do everything possible that our brides have no worries and the day they envisioned when they were young. I'm glad we fulfilled another dream! -

Working with Mark is a breeze. He is always so responsive and quick to help you where you need it, whether it is cleaning the beach for your big day or recommending a great lunch or dinner spot. Mark is the best!
And the venue itself is gorgeous! All of our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was and how much fun they had! Plus with having the venue for a week, there was no stress in setting up or cleaning up our wedding. And as a bonus we were able to relax poolside or out on the water with our paddle board with a few of our closest friends. Overall, absolutely wonderful spot for a wedding or vacation! -

The best wedding venue
We could not have picked a better venue! We were able to completely customize what we wanted and use the vendors that we liked plus have our dog free roam! The property is perfect for getting ready day of. The guys were in the guest house and bridal party was upstairs. I can’t wait to see our photos with the sunset and water in the background. Mark and dolli were so responsive to our needs and very accommodating. The oasis is in the best location and has the best view. Don’t hesitate booking here!The Oasis's reply:
You guys are the sweetest! It was a beautiful weather but a crazy night 1 storm which thankfully gave way to perfect weather! -

Everything was Perfect
We had our daughter's wedding at the Oasis and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. I have to say going into our 244 guests for the wedding had us very nervous with a venue we basically never heard of. Going into the wedding we had to bring in many different venders to make this day possible. Mark the owner was there thru the end of the wedding and made sure that all the venders had the proper electrical setups and anything else that they needed to pull off the wedding. We understood later that this was the largest wedding they ever had on the property. Everything went smoothly.
The morning of the wedding Mark was out there at sunrise raking the sand and making sure everything was perfect for us. Which honestly was something he promised a year ago and I was very skeptical it would happen. But as promised he was there.
The two houses on the property made everything very convenient for us. The girls had their house to get ready and my husband and I had ours. Both houses are extremely clean and have everything you possibly would need.
The venue views are spectacular. The majority of our guests are from the South Florida area and they are used to ocean views. The Oasis view for the wedding blew away everyones expectations.
Probably the best thing though, was having your daughter tell you the morning after that every single thing went as planned. The wedding was everything she dreamed of. All of this was possible because of the Oasis.
The Oasis's reply:
A gorgeous wedding for a gorgeous couple at a gorgeous property!1 We appreciate you trusting us for hosting our largest wedding to date, easily fitting under our tiki and so glad everything went PERFECT! -

A slice of paradise!
This property was luxury and relaxation all in one! The name speaks for itself, it is truly an Oasis. This property offers two spacious houses, a pool overlooking the ocean, direct access to the ocean for paddle boarding and kayaking, a HUGE permanent tiki hut, and so much more! Islamorada was so incredibly beautiful with so much to do and so many fantastic restaurants. We celebrated our November wedding during our week stay and it was the most incredible night! Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning the property was. Mark was extremely attentive to all details the day of the wedding, ensuring everything was set up/in working order and smoothed the sand in the ceremony and reception areas for us. There was truly nothing better than having a wedding and vacation all in one! If you are looking for a private, beachfront venue to celebrate your wedding ceremony and reception – look no further than The Oasis!!!The Oasis's reply:
I enjoyed meeting your guests and taking in your beautiful ceremony and reception. Doli and I are so glad you chose us to start your lives together, we enjoyed going through your photos I took the other day. -

We had an AMAZING experience at The Oasis! We booked this venue sight unseen and let me tell you…The photos do not even do justice to how beautiful it is! We stayed all week and had such an amazing time. Mark and Doli helped us every step of the way by helping the vendors set up and making sure the property was in pristine condition for our big day. If you are even considering this, DO IT!The Oasis's reply:
We are so glad you trusted your gut with The Oasis, and we didn't disappoint! Starting your lives together at our venue is something we truly cherish, so thank you. -

Shelbie H. Sent on 03/14/2023The name sums up this place perfectly...it is an absolute Oasis!
The Oasis house was a dream. We had our wedding there and the pictures were like out of a magazine. Not only was it a beautiful venue for our wedding, but a perfect place to honeymoon due to the luxury and privacy of this home. Plus it was nice not having to pack up the next day and go somewhere else. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Mark and Doli, the hosts did an amazing job at making sure everything was perfect for our wedding and stay and we loved Doli's paintings, they added a chic feel to the property. They offer a lot at The Oasis, from kayaks, beach games, personal cooler, and bikes; you really get the whole package. You can tell they care for the home and your experience during your stay which is hard to find in rentals. We truly loved our stay, the property, and the customer service at The Oasis.The Oasis's reply:
We thank you so much for all the kind words! You had a beautiful day and so excited for the two of you. -

Erin S. Sent on 02/01/2023Incredible!!!
We rented the Oasis villa for our wedding and hosted a beach day, rehearsal dinner, welcome party and our ceremony & reception all onsite. From start to finish our experience with Mark and the property was outstanding. The location of the house was perfect, the accommodations were great, and the ocean view, beach and pool were just spectacular. We had tens of guests telling us this was the best wedding that they had ever attended, largely because of this incredible venue. Mark, our host, went above and beyond to ensure every last detail was absolutely perfect. We are already brainstorming with our group of friends when we can return to the house for a reunion trip. I would recommend this stay 10 out of 10 times. Mark, thank you for everything!!!The Oasis's reply:
Erin, you and Gus planned an INCREDIBLE wedding, and you are a beautiful and driven couple. We wish you all the best with everything! -

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. Mark and Doli made us feel like family from the moment we came to view the property. We knew as soon as we walked on to the beautiful grounds that this is where we wanted to be married (we cancelled our appointments at the other venues). From the beautiful landscaping to the infinity pool and the rest of the amenities, the Oasis offers everything you need and more, and it’s dog friendly, we were able to make our 2 pups part of our special day! Mark is with you every step of the way from the time we viewed the property to the day we checked out. After a beautiful brunch for our guests the day after our wedding, Kaitlin and I had a beautiful mini-moon at the Oasis where we relaxed, utilized the paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, and took in the views for a few days. The property is situated in the heart of Islamorada, we used the bikes a lot to visit the awesome local restaurants and shops. Thanks to Mark and Doli for hosting us and we highly recommend for anyone looking to have a private, beach wedding with 5 star amenities!The Oasis's reply:
It was truly OUR honor as we saw a lot of us in you! You have that spark that is what makes marriages work, we wish you the best! You are a beautiful and real couple.

It was simply amazing
The atmosphere was simply amazing. The views were breathtaking. We were a short walk or bike ride from food, shopping, and even a pharmacy. You own private beach and beautiful pool allowed for a ton of fun in the Sun. It truly was a magical experience. -

Beautiful Islamorada getaway
Beautiful ocean access and privacy w the tropical coconut palm filled yard. Rented for a week-long getaway and couldn't be happier! Top on the list for us was watching the sun go down while laying in the pool (which is on the edge of the beach! Incredible!) Great local restaurants, amenities, like the bicycles, and kayaks only added to the experience. Already planning another trip! -

The Oasis is perfect for your dreamy beach wedding. We did our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all on the property. This property is so huge, it creates a beautiful environment to “make it your own.”. It has a beautiful and HUGE tiki hut, so no need to rent tents. The sand is packed and flat, so it’s easy to navigate. There’s also a grassy area that we did cocktail hour and yard games in. It’s entirely fenced in, so we felt very comfortable having our pups in our wedding. There was also plenty of room for parking without cars getting in the way of anything. We were also able to fit everything for the caterers, a photo bus, NICEEE portable bathrooms, DJ, bar, etc. without it all looking crammed into the property or ruining the ambiance. Then obviously the stunning pool that overlooks the ocean is quite the vibe. The bride/bridesmaids got ready in the main house, which was PLENTY of room and amazing natural light! The groom/groomsmen got ready and hung out in the second house without fear of the bride and groom seeing each other before the ceremony. The location is also perfect, because it’s so close to the resorts that most of our guests stayed in. It’s also very close to Publix if you need any last minute things! The only downside is the hotel right next door, but since putting up the tiki, it offers more privacy and I believe they were installing more privacy down past the water line as well.
This truly is such a cool property. To be able to stay for a week, enjoy the benefits of the property and also be able to set up for a wedding RIGHT where you’re staying. It just made it so easy.The Oasis's reply:
We couldn't have picked a better couple to be the first to use our Tiki! You guys were out of a storybook, and your entire wedding was so well done. Doli and I appreciate your faith in us providing you with a perfect place for your wedding. -
