Imagine exchanging vows with your toes in the sand, surrounded by swaying palms and panoramic bayside sunset views at Sunset Beach Gardens, located at Florida Keys Farm. Stephanie & Brandon’s wedding was the perfect example of how effortless and beautiful a private beach wedding in the Florida Keys can be—no need to secure vacation homes at this wedding venue.
With 40 of their closest friends and family, they chose our All-Inclusive Alligator Reef package, which included exclusive access to Sunset Beach Gardens—a private beach venue enhanced with freshly added palm trees and stunning water views. For their ceremony, they selected a bamboo arbor with a custom floral arrangement, paired with bamboo chairs, tropical aisle palms, and floral chair décor for a breezy coastal look.
The ceremony was made even more special with a family member officiating, who included heartfelt and humorous readings that had everyone smiling. During Cocktail Hour, guests gathered under the venue’s spacious tiki hut enjoying Fruit Displays, Coconut Shrimp, and Chicken Skewers while sipping on the couple’s signature drinks—Malibu Bay Breeze and Mojito.
As the sun painted the sky in golden hues, the reception began with round tables dressed in white linens, turquoise napkins, and bamboo chairs. Centerpieces featured white orchids in turquoise vases, accented with beach shells and tropical palms, reflecting the couple’s coastal vision.
The dinner menu was full of flavor: Flank Steak, a Penne Pasta Station, Garlic Bread, Thai Pineapple Rice, and a Mash Potato Bar that guests raved about. As music filled the night, everyone danced beneath the tiki hut and later enjoyed a sweet spread of brownies, assorted dessert shooters, and a beach-themed vanilla and chocolate cake.
With room for up to 150 guests, Sunset Beach Gardens offers the best of Florida Keys beach weddings—private, relaxed, and all in one location, with no need to rent separate houses. Plus, the tiki hut is perfect for dancing the night away or even serving as a covered space for smaller celebrations.
