Why Choosing a Beach House Wedding Venue in Florida is a Good Idea!
Learn why Florida Beach House Wedding Venues could be a perfect idea for your wedding ceremony and reception! The cost of a beach house wedding is less than you would think and could far outweigh a resort style option.
Why do people choose a Private Home for their Wedding Venue?
There are several reasons why couples choose to have their wedding at a private beach house in Florida. Here are our top 5 reasons!
1.) Privacy
All of our Private Beach Houses are exactly that… PRIVATE!!! Having guests attend your wedding while no one else is looking to crash your wedding is a huge plus for renting a private beach house. For the shy or introverted couple or for those wanting to keep it intimate, a Private Beach House may be the way to go!
2.) Longer Stay = Longer Event
Most Private Beach Houses that are rented for weddings and events are usually several nights or week long stays. This is a huge plus for those having a Destination Wedding. Can you imagine a Destination Wedding, inviting all your friends and family to come down to the Florida Keys for just a 4-hour event? At a Private Beach House, you can plan your Rehearsal Dinner, Sunday Brunch, the Ceremony, and the Reception, all in the same location.
3.) Affordable
Some of our Private Beach Houses rent for the entire week for what some resorts charge for just their Site Fee alone!! Also factor in that you don’t have any food or beverage minimums that you are obligated to meet and Private Beach Houses can be much more practical than doing your event at a resort. You can do from cocktails and appetizers to a full blown 5-course meal and still spend less than what you would spend on food and beverage minimums from some hotels and resorts.
4.) Blank Canvas
Most Private Beach House locations allow complete, unlimited access the property. This means we can set up design and decor any way you want! From Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Reception Dinner, and dancing to a private gathering on the beach, it all can be done however you would like when you have a Private Beach House! A lot of our couples love this!
5.) Vacation + Wedding = Memories
While we have covered the longer stay above, I don’t think couples really understand how awesome it is that once the wedding is over, you actually get to enjoy the property and the facilities. You can go kayaking or snorkeling in the backyard, go fishing with friends off your own private dock, lounge out by the pool, and really enjoy your wedding venue for a couple days longer.
A Private Beach House Wedding Estate as a Florida Keys Wedding Venue can be everything you imagined. If your are looking for a simple Florida Keys wedding and an extravagant luxury beach house all in one, then consider a Beach House Wedding!
A Private Beach House is PERFECT for an All Inclusive Package. Take the stress away from planning your wedding, and plan more of the adventures you will have at your Destination Wedding in the Florida Keys!
The Florida Keys Wedding Center has awesome Affiliate Hotels with additional Hotel Room Blocks and Group Discounts to accomodate additional guests on your special day.
Cost vs. Value
Florida Keys Beach House Wedding Venues usually charge a flat rate to stay at the facility for several days or a week. What makes them affordable is pairing them with one of our All Inclusive Wedding Packages. By the time you have the venue and package, you will be surprised at how cost comparable it is to having your wedding at a Resort location for 4 hours.
Catering and Bar are probably the two biggest things that can be a determining factor for why couples choose these locations. Even if you opt out of our Wedding Packages, the fact that you can bring in your own caterer and bar services are huge! Every wedding is very different. If you are looking at a Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, Reception, and Farewell Brunch, then a Private Beach House may cut those costs compared to another venue.
Catering
We can host small weddings with something as simple as passed hors d’oeuvre to extravagant weddings with 5-course plated meals.
Whether you want a seafood paella with roasted pig, a laid back beach BBQ, a 3-entree buffet, flair stations, or a 5-course plated dinner, being able to use your own caterer is always an option when it comes to having your Florida Keys Destination Wedding with the Florida Keys Wedding Center at a Private Beach House.
Bar
Another popular reason to choose a Private Beach House wedding is the ability to bring your own alcohol. The cost for a 4-hour bar package at a resort doesn’t even come close to what it could cost you to have an entire weeks worth of events when purchasing your own alcohol. You could supply the Rehearsal Dinner, Cocktail Hour, Reception, and a Farewell Brunch and still not have spent half of what you would with a 4-hour call bar at a resort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Couples often ask "Who sleeps at the wedding venue and how can you choose?"
This question is often asked by couples and this can be a tough one. Do I choose my family? My bridal party? We feel that this is something that should, and is alright, to be discussed in an open forum. The majority of weddings we host do have family stay at the Beach House Wedding Venue, or you can enjoy the location all to yourselves and turn your Destination Wedding into a Honeymoon once the ceremony is over.
Do couples charge their GUESTS to stay at the property?
Most of the time, we notice that the Bride and Groom will not require members of their family to pay to stay at the Private Beach House. When it is the bridal party staying at the house, couples may ask to split payments, which makes the Private Beach House more affordable. Either way, there are affordable options when bringing a large group to stay at our Private Beach Houses.
What do we do about FOOD in the days before and after the wedding?
Most of our Private Beach Houses sleep around 10-16 guests and some sleep up to 60! Oftentimes we see that food is done family-style, where people bring in a platter for lunch, coffee and bagels for breakfast, or even a couple of pizzas. Most guests do not stay the full week, so it’s not something that needs to be stressed about, but family-style meals are always a great option for you and your guests. It is also not uncommon to get the BBQ Grill going and have a Welcome Party or just a beach gathering before or after the wedding.
What do we do about TRANSPORTATION?
We definitely recommend getting a car or van rental when visiting the Florida Keys. While Uber and Lyft do a great job, having something to travel with at your convenience will only add to you trip and experience.
What time does MUSIC need to be shut off?
In most cases, the noise ordinance for live or amplified music is 11pm for Fridays and Saturdays, and 10pm for Sunday – Thursday. The great part about staying at a Private Beach House, is that when the music shuts off, that doesn’t mean the party is over. Most couples will bring a portable speaker to hang out by the bar or by the pool to keep the party going into the later hours of the night or even the early morning.
