Dream Bay Resort was a beautiful venue! Our wedding was May 6, 2023 and we stayed at Dream Bay from May5th until May 8th. The entire place was beautiful and it was amazing to have everything so close. We showed up early with groceries and asked...

to put them in the fridge if they weren’t finished cleaning (it was an hour before check in) and they allowed us to go in. They had a phone number to text if we needed anything and they responded quickly and brought us what we needed! The place was perfect!

We just returned from our dream wedding at Dream Bay Resort! Throughout our entire process, from first visiting Dream Bay to booking it to wedding day, Tanya, Meegan, and Bryan made us feel cared about as people AND as guests. We wanted a sma...

ll wedding in the Keys, and the ability to control our environment so our Guests could relax and have a mini-vacation without all of the "noise" that comes along with a big hotel or loud restaurant, etc. Dream Bay was beyond perfect for us. Laid-back, true Keys vibe. No pretenses. Bare feet, blue water, and tiki huts! We booked the entire resort, plus Treetops, and created a 3-day getaway for all who attended. We first met Bryan when we came to look at the Resort, and his down-to-earth personality is what really told us we were in the right place. Bryan greeted us when we checked in and helped us with EVERYTHING from helping us transport items between cabanas to finding extra coolers to setting up tables and chairs. Meegan was such an amazing help during the time leading up to the wedding, answering questions, etc. And while we were there she helped arrange our morning wedding and brunch reception under the tiki. So grateful for them both! The Resort offers something for everybody and for all guests to enjoy. Plenty of places for quiet time, sunset strolls out on the dock, and evening gathering in Adirondack chairs. Guests were able to paddle board and kayak during their stay right from the Resort. The cabanas are all large enough that people can spread out and relax and have their own space indoors, as well. Our friends left with dreams of returning to this delightful place, and we were able to have a beautiful Keys getaway all to ourselves.

ort was the perfect location and we knew the second we went on our tour with our wedding planner Olivia from Frond and Feather Events. It is not only gorgeous, but it brings with it a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. My family and I rented out all of the cottages except 1 that was already taken, so we felt like we had our own little private oasis. We had a cold weekend, so did not get to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boards unfortunately, but they are there for all guests and in good shape. Each of the houses had comfortable beds, lots of space, their own fenced backyards (security with dogs), very cutely decorated. On the wedding day we used Tropicasa as the "ladies" getting ready house and there was so much space for hair/makeup, people gathering, large food spread (A lot of space!!!). Asiel and I stayed in the TreeTops house which was separated from the others for more privacy. Beautiful 1 bedroom layout and lovely bathroom. There is even a getting ready room with bright lights and chairs in that house. Dream Bay staff was also very easy-going, helpful and friendly. Bryan and Meegan were so helpful throughout the entire weekend! We looked at a lot of other venues in upper and middle keys and Dream Bay came on top. We highly recommend this venue!

nd Meegan) was so wonderful the entire weekend, not only keeping the property looking spotless but checking in with us constantly while also letting us enjoy every moment. It was the PERFECT wedding venue - we had a rehearsal party by the water on Friday, ceremony and reception on the beach, and brunch at the largest house on Sunday. Everyone could not stop raving about the property and how beautiful it was, but it was especially incredible for me as the bride to be able to enjoy the whole weekend having stayed there Friday-Monday instead of rushing around to fit into a narrow time frame at a stuffy hotel. I will DEFINITELY be back!!!

u have the whole property + kayaks all to yourselves. Brian and his team were such a treat all weekend. Despite intermittent rain, requiring them to shovel and rake the grounds more than once, they kept the property in mint condition and always had the best, positive attitude while doing so. With all the stress of having 3 events on property, they really made sure they did everything they could to make things easier on us and that meant a lot. The wedding planner Olivia knows the property well and has a knack for anticipating many curve balls and brings her obvious experience to bear when helping with the planning and execution process. Stay here for vacation or any group events you have in mind!

The location was amazing. And we hands down had the best sunsets that most of us have ever seen in our entire lives. I literally cried when we had to leave, and all my friends agreed that they could have easily spent another couple extra days there. Do your wedding at Dream Bay. Seriously.

ing. Still, coming from out of state and never seeing the property (aside from online) I was nervous. The minute we stepped inside the gates though, all my fears were gone. This property is truly a hidden gem! We had the 4 main houses and the treetops house next door for everyone. The rooms were spacious and well kept. Not a single person in our group of 30 complained one bit about the rooms or property. The grounds are stunning. So many little individual sitting areas for you guests to relax. The jetty you can walk out on, paddle boards, kayaks that are available for use are just some of the bonuses. There's three separate areas to hold your ceremony. Two beaches and the jetty. We had ours on Serenity Beach and the setting was truly like a scene from a movie. The true gems though are the amazing staff. Everyone was amazingly sweet. Roosevelt was always cheery when we would stop to stay hi and made sure the beach was pristine for our big day. Then there's Bryan the property manager. He is hands down the best asset to Dream Bay...aside from the view😊 He was amazing from the time we arrived to till we left. Making sure everything was the way we wanted it, checking in to see if we needed anything. Our stay and wedding day would not have been as enjoyable, if it wasn’t for him. So glad we got to meet the staff, spend some time getting to know them and enjoy this beautiful property. I promise anyone looking for a wedding venue...book here! You will not be disappointed!
