Make our wedding just one event on your vacation to Key West.
This vacation makes for great birthday or Christmas gifts! Make plans for December 27, 2018 through January 3, 2018. You can also make it a long weekend by coming December 28 - January 1st. Chris and Carrie will plan for a few more adventures like fishing, a jet ski tour, a drag queen show and tours of Key West. There are so many things to do, you will want to stay longer..........we always do!
Chris and Carrie will be here to help you with any questions you might have.
The ThemeOur Wedding Theme is Key West Garden Wedding. The Hemingway home has beautiful Gardens that surround the home. The beautiful trees, plant and flowers will be our natural setting. Purple is our color of the day.
Curious what to wear? BE COMFORTABLE! Feel free to wear your flip flops and sundresses or button shirts and khakis. No heels or suits required. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be outside since that's the best place to be in Key West. The weather is similar to a late summer in CT. It can be hot during the day and can be cooler at night. Carrie wanted to be a big part of the decorating for the wedding. All the decoration and flowers are all made by Carrie. |
The Wedding DayOn the special day we will meeting at the Watson House at 525 Simonton St. at about 4:00. There will be a Key West Conch Train that picks us up and gives us a tour of Key West stopping a couple spots. Then the train will bring us to the Hemingway Home for the ceremony. There is parking in the firehouse lot less than a block from the Watson House for parking if you need it. After the reception the train will bring us to Duval street for the after party or back to the Watson House.
There will be an open Bar at the wedding. OUr signature drink will be a "Mint to Be Mojito" , this is Carrie's favorite Key West drink. There will be beer, wine and mixed drink options to enjoy to our hearts content. We will save the shots for the after party. The menu will be amazing, since we both love food. We will have a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres and a station buffet for dinner. Make sure to let us know of any dietary restrictions, we want everyone to enjoy the food. |
