Key West Wedding Venues: Waterfront Lawns and Marina Settings
Choosing a Key West wedding venue usually starts with one question.
What do you want the day to feel like?
Maybe it is an open-air ceremony under the palms. A reception where dinner and marina views share the spotlight. A small wedding with your closest people. Or a full weekend that moves from welcome drinks to the ceremony, pool time, and one last brunch before everyone heads home.
At The Perry Hotel & Marina, the venues are different enough to make the choice clear. Outdoor lawns. Indoor-outdoor spaces. Private rooms. Marina views. Poolside settings.
With event spaces accommodating up to 300 guests and venue capacity of up to 3,500 square feet, The Perry can host everything from an elopement to a larger destination celebration.
The hardest part might be choosing just one.
Choosing Your Key West Wedding Venue
The right venue depends on more than the guest count.
Think about how you want people to gather. Do you want everyone formally seated for dinner? Room for dancing under the stars? An intimate setting that feels private? Or a flexible space that can change throughout the wedding weekend?
Start here:
-
- For a large outdoor ceremony or reception: Event Lawn
-
- For marina views and restaurant-led events: Matt’s Stock Island
-
- For elopements and private wedding moments: Sunset Lounge
-
- For micro-weddings and suite-style celebrations: Grand Suite & Balcony
- For welcome drinks and poolside parties: Marina Village Pool
Event Lawn
3,200 square feet | Up to 300 guests | Outdoor venue
The Event Lawn gives larger weddings space to breathe.
Set outdoors with waterfront views, palms, and a raised stage, it works well for ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations where music, dinner, and dancing all need room to happen.
The lawn can be shaped around the day you have in mind. Keep the setting open to the stars or add a tent for a more defined reception space. Full catering is available through the hotel’s on-site restaurants.
Matt’s Stock Island
3,300 square feet | Up to 245 guests | Indoor and outdoor spaces
Matt’s Stock Island works for couples who want the reception to center around good food, drinks, and the waterfront.
The restaurant offers four distinct spaces that can be reserved separately or brought together to create a natural flow between cocktails, dinner, and the rest of the evening. Indoor and outdoor areas also make Matt’s a flexible choice when one event needs more than one setting.
Use it for the main reception, or build it into another part of the weekend. Rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks, farewell brunches, and private dining all feel at home here.
Sunset Lounge
350 square feet | Up to 12 guests | Indoor venue
The Sunset Lounge is made for the smaller moments.
Natural light, sunset views over the mangroves, a wet bar, and a private balcony create a calm setting away from the larger celebration.
It works especially well for elopements, first looks, getting-ready time, or private gatherings before the ceremony.
Grand Suite & Balcony
700 square feet | Up to 30 guests | Indoor and outdoor spaces
The Grand Suite & Balcony feels more personal than a traditional event room.
The suite combines stylish interiors with a large private balcony and panoramic marina views. It can host intimate micro-weddings, private dinners, getting-ready time, or smaller wedding weekend gatherings.
Marina Village Pool
3,200 square feet | Up to 300 guests | Outdoor venue
Not every wedding event needs assigned seating.
The Marina Village Pool offers a palm-lined outdoor deck with marina views and room for up to 300 guests. It is a natural fit for the more relaxed parts of a destination wedding weekend, from welcome cocktails to a casual post-wedding gathering.
Stay at The Perry for the Wedding Weekend
A destination wedding gets easier when the people, venues, food, and places to stay are all connected.
Instead of sending guests between different hotels and event spaces, The Perry gives everyone a shared waterfront base on Stock Island. The wedding can unfold across the property, from the first welcome drink to the last morning coffee.
Couples and guests can enjoy:
- Rooms, studios, and suites with private balconies
- Marina, pool, or mangrove views
- A waterfront pool
- On-property dining
- A complimentary shuttle to Old Town
- On-site water activities and concierge-planned excursions
- Dog-friendly accommodations
The wedding is the main event.
The rest of the weekend should feel like Key West.
