The Perry Hotel & Marina Key West was an absolute dream venue for our stay and wedding rehearsal dinner ! From the moment we reached out, their team was incredibly proactive, friendly, and listened to every detail we wanted. They explained all the options thoroughly and even handed out guest gift bags upon arrivals. The venue itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the food was truly amazing - our guests raved about it, especially the fresh seafood. The pool area was a huge hit, and the location right on the water was just perfection. The staff set everything up beautifully in our grand suite for rehearsal which was intimate just like we wanted. Our guests loved the laidback Florida Keys atmosphere and can't wait to come back. We even booked a fishing charter through the hotel, and they cooked up our fresh catch for us right there! We are so grateful to the entire Perry Hotel team for making our wedding trip truly unforgettable.
