Wedding Packages
About Our Packages
Lovers Key is unlike any other venue as we are located in one of the most beautiful state parks in Florida on Two and a half miles of beach. It’s unspoiled, natural beauty has drawn families for many years. Instead of sharing your beach wedding with the general public, we can actually give you the most intimate setting with only you and your wedding guests! The Venue becomes Private After Sunset! Another reason we are unlike other venues is that we do not have a ballroom with tables and chairs continuously set! At Lovers Key, we have to set up each wedding the morning of and tear down the wedding each night. This is why we charge a venue Site fee in the form of an “Event Key.” Event keys Include a Basic Set up: as listed-however you can add additional Rentals they are listed on the next page as an additional cost to your grand total.
North Beach
North Point is a section of our venues, For ceremony Only. Located just Foot Steps away from the parking area At the north Entrance of lovers key Island. your guests get to enjoy our beautiful surroundings as they stroll to the wedding destination. Ideally this location is for a more intimate wedding ceremony. With no concessions, facilities or shelters, North Beach is located on Big Carlos Pass.
Mid Beach
Mid Beach is a secluded section of our venues, For ceremony Only. Located just 1,000 feet from the parking area, there is no need for Tram service and your guests get to enjoy our beautiful surroundings as they stroll to the wedding destination. Ideally this location is for a magnificent wedding ceremony. With no concessions, facilities or shelters, Mid Beach promises to be a quiet location for your special day.
South Beach/Gazebo
For the larger, more elaborate celebrations, we recommend South Beach With the Gazebo. Your guests will travel by the Park’s private Tram service to this secluded beach location. Once there your guests will have full access to the amenities along with your wedding celebration. A picturesque location for your large or small dream wedding.
