An exclusive, unforgettable setting where romance meets adventure
The entire 1.5-acre island is yours for three full days — no other guests, no public access, just you and your loved ones in total seclusion. Your own private island in Marathon, Florida Keys, surrounded by pristine waters.
360-degree ocean views, natural rock wall moat, and direct waterfront access. Sunset ceremonies over the Gulf of America, with skies painted in shades of pink, orange, and gold.
Make a grand entrance via helicopter landing directly on the island's helipad, or arrive by private boat to your 100-foot dock. Guests travel from Marathon's mainland dock via luxury pontoon — a scenic 5-minute journey across turquoise waters.
Up to 12 guests can stay on the island for the full three-day package. Wake up on your wedding day already at your venue — no travel, no stress.
Enjoy prep day, wedding day, and takedown day. Celebrate without rushing with rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, receptions, and post-wedding brunches.
From intimate elopements to celebrations for 60 guests. Work with our expert wedding coordinator to design your perfect day.
Three full days to celebrate without rushing — your exclusive island paradise
Planning a Florida Keys destination wedding? We've curated a network of trusted Marathon and Keys-area vendors who specialize in private island celebrations.
Professional photographers and videographers experienced in Florida Keys weddings and drone aerial shots.
Licensed wedding officiants who can perform your ceremony, whether traditional, spiritual, or fully customized.
Tropical floral designers creating stunning bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements.
Our local event rental vendor provides tables, chairs, linens, place settings, and decorative elements.
DJ services with curated playlists, or live music including harpists, violinists, acoustic guitarists, or full bands.
Paella parties, Keys-style BBQ, elegant cocktail parties, or formal plated dinners with professional service.
You're welcome to bring your own vendors, or we can connect you with our network of trusted professionals who know the island and understand destination wedding logistics.
The helipad is the spot most couples choose the moment they stand on it: a raised platform with 360-degree water views and nothing behind you at sunset but open ocean. It photographs like an altar floating on the Atlantic.
The 100-foot dock works for smaller ceremonies and for couples who want the water underfoot — guests seated on the deck, vows at the far end. The oceanfront pool deck and veranda handle the reception either way, with the moat glowing at dusk and Marathon’s lights half a mile off.

Every private island wedding here runs on the same rhythm our family has refined since 1995: you get the island for three full days, so nothing is rushed and nothing overlaps with strangers. Here is how most couples use them.
You and your 12 overnight VIPs arrive by pontoon, vendors ferry over and set up, and the evening ends with a welcome dinner on the veranda while the coordinator walks everyone through tomorrow.
Hair and makeup in the main house, guests arrive from Marathon in pontoon waves through the afternoon, ceremony at golden hour on the pool deck or helipad, reception under the stars, and the last pontoon run carries guests back to their hotels.
A slow family brunch on the island, vendors break down while you snorkel the moat one last time, and the boat brings you back to the mainland dock whenever you’re ready.
Not every couple wants 60 guests — some want the island, the sunset, and almost nobody else. If that’s you, our florida keys elopement packages cover intimate ceremonies from just-the-two-of-you up to 20 guests, with the same island exclusively yours. Same water, same sunset, a fraction of the logistics.
