A Beautiful Christian High Tide Elopement at Smathers Beach, Key West
Our First Wedding of 2026
We were honored to begin our first wedding of 2026 with a beautiful and faith-filled High Tide Elopement Package at Smathers Beach in Key West. This intimate celebration perfectly reflected what so many couples love about eloping in the Florida Keys—meaningful vows, thoughtful details, and a breathtaking natural setting.
Elegant Beach Ceremony Design
For their elopement, the couple chose a timeless and Christ-centered ceremony design that blended seamlessly with the shoreline of Smathers Beach. A wedding cross draped in soft white fabric and accented with white florals stood as the focal point, symbolizing faith, love, and commitment.
A burlap aisle runner guided the bride to the altar, while gold lanterns lined the aisle to add warmth and subtle elegance. Guests were seated in white padded chairs, creating a clean and classic look that complemented the beach setting without overpowering its natural beauty.
A Meaningful Christian Elopement Ceremony
Our experienced in-house officiant performed a heartfelt Christian wedding ceremony, focusing on faith, prayer, and the sacred covenant of marriage. The couple exchanged traditional Christian wedding vows, creating an emotional and spiritual moment shared with their closest loved ones.
They also chose to include a sand unity ceremony, a beautiful addition to any beach elopement in the Florida Keys. This symbolic ritual represented the joining of two lives and two faith-filled paths into one—especially fitting with the ocean just steps away.
