Wedding Venue

Perry Hotel Key West

Key West, FL

The Perry Hotel brings Key West's vibrant, eclectic energy into a boutique marina hotel setting on the Stock Island waterfront — just minutes from the heart of Old Town but with a creative, artsy community all its own. Ceremony and reception spaces with direct marina water views, an outdoor pool terrace, and the hotel's distinctive nautical-meets-bohemian design aesthetic appeal to couples who want authentic Keys character without the tourist-season crowds of Duval Street. The combination of genuine waterfront atmosphere, a team experienced in destination weddings, and accessible pricing for a Key West property makes it one of the Keys' most compelling modern venues.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from KEY WEST INTL AP, 1.1 miles away.
