Relaxed Luxury In The Sun
The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton is a hotel and wedding venue offering guests a slice of sun-soaked paradise in Key West. FL. The Reach Key West presents the elegance and facilities of an upscale resort in a laid-back, beachfront package. Here couples will find everything needed for a fully-serviced wedding, supported by expert staff and surrounded by immense natural beauty.
Perched upon Key West’s only natural sand beach, the venue offers unparalleled views of the crystal blue waters that surround the island. The territory’s history as part of the U.S stretches back into the early 19th-century, and The Reach Key West is situated in its oldest neighborhood.
The most southern point of the continental United States, here guests will find most of the isle’s historical sights as well as immaculate beaches. Key West is a relatively small island, meaning that couples can easily explore all it has to offer on foot.
The Reach Key West mixes beachfront vibes with the high standards expected from such a luxury destination. The venue’s aesthetic encompasses a contemporary maritime-chic, with light colors and clean lines throughout creating a relaxed tone. When the sunshine’s heat becomes too much, the waters of the Atlantic or the hotel’s palm tree-lined pool are but a step away. Indeed The Reach Key West is ideal for an idyllic beach wedding, and its venue spaces take advantage of its prime position on the ocean’s edge. Most prominent of these is the beautiful pier, whose wind-worn wooden frame stretches out into the sea as its gazebo shelters guests from the breeze. Wedding parties can mingle for a reception on the sands, enjoying tropical cocktails to the sound of waves breaking upon the shore. Away from the pressures of normal life, time at The Reach Key West is lived at a different pace, in a blissful bubble of tranquility.
Such care-free relaxation is made possible by the hotel’s expert staff, who ensure you never break a sweat when planning your big day. The management offers couples the use of multiple event spaces including the pier, beach, and a selection of grand ballrooms with ocean-facing patios. These are supported by the hotel’s comprehensive wedding package, which is particularly useful if planning a destination wedding. The seasoned planning team helps coordinate all of the details leading up to and on the day of events, including liaising with any outside vendors. A cornucopia of delicious dishes and an expansive bar service also awaits guests, helmed by The Reach Key West’s lauded catering team.

### Our Unforgettable Wedding Day: A Tale of Love and Sunshine
Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, despite the severe weather leading up to our big moment. Charlie and I, T.A., couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and professional team to ensure our day was perfect. The venue staff, led by the wonderful Leslie, went above and beyond to keep us informed and prepared with several alternative plans in case the weather interfered with our gazebo wedding.
The expertise and seamless coordination between our wedding planner, Brittany from Simply You Weddings, and the venue staff were evident throughout the entire process. It was clear they had worked together before, which made everything run smoothly. Against all odds, the sun made a dramatic appearance at 3:23 PM, a beautiful coincidence given that our wedding date was March 23.
The gazebo, located at the end of a boardwalk and featuring classic clear blue Caribbean colors, provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony. One of the highlights was our stunning sand sculpture, crafted by the talented artists from Just Sand and Water. The sculpture was a huge hit on social media, capturing our vision perfectly. The artist even matched the graphic elements from our wedding invitations without us asking, a touch that made the day even more special.
Following the ceremony at the picturesque gazebo, we moved to the rooftop Caribe Terris for a delightful cocktail hour. Our guests were treated to champagne and a selection of elevated hors d'oeuvres, including Charred Watermelon, Greek Skewers, Key West Conch Fritters, and Mini Crab Cakes. Chef was incredibly accommodating during our tasting, making modifications to the Red Snapper that delighted our guests, many of whom had never tried it before.
To ensure smooth service, we hired an extra bartender, and the team was exceptional, bringing drinks to us as we mingled with our guests. The dinner in the ballroom was beautifully decorated, seamlessly blending our handmade lanterns with the venue's elegant decor. The venue also generously offered a 10% discount for our guests' accommodations.
The only hiccup was with the mandatory in-house lighting and sound team. Unfortunately, they charged us for setup and breakdown of carnival lights, even though they remained up for our entire stay. They had the lights up when there was no wedding during our initial visit or food tasting, making the charges even more frustrating. They also damaged our custom star lanterns by using scotch tape to attach them to their lights and charged an exorbitant fee for a brief use of a TV. Despite this, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. On a brighter note, there were zero audio hiccups, and the team worked seamlessly with our wedding band, The Leafy Greens Band, a talented husband and wife duo.
Three months on, our family and friends are still raving about our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with Simply You Weddings, who we chose for their ease of communication and LGBTQ+ representation on their website. Brittany expertly navigated the weather-related challenges, ensuring our day was as perfect as we dreamed.
Our flowers, arranged by the talented team at [Foraged Living](https://www.foragedliving.com/), exceeded all our expectations. The beauty of the arrangements added a special touch to our celebration.
Filda Konec Photography captured every picturesque moment, and we couldn't be happier.
The Reach is the most gorgeous place to have a wedding in Key West! We had our ceremony on the gazebo, a cocktail hour on the beach, and dinner and dancing on the lawn. We loved working with Lori and Blaire who made sure all of our questions were answered and made us feel like we were the only people getting married at The Reach in all of 2024...which was not the case at all! The staff at The Reach was AMAZING! All of the bartenders and wait staff were super nice and helpful, and they all enjoyed working at our wedding. The team behind the scenes was also amazing. All of our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was that was served during cocktail hour and dinner. We are truly thankful to have had our dream wedding The Reach!
The Reach was the PERFECT venue for us. From the second I started interacting with Blaire I knew this was going to be our wedding venue. Blaire made everything so easy. The views at the Reach are unforgettable and breathtaking. The staff was amazing to work with the day of the wedding as well. If you're looking to get married in Key West, look no further than this beautiful venue!
Any questions?
The Reach made our 2.22.2020 wedding (ceremony, reception, stay) a true fairytale. Not one thing went wrong. The most perfect staff and location! Thank you!
The Reach was an amazing venue to host our wedding! They were very professional from start to finish. All details were laid out very clearly and they stayed in close communication the whole time. Our actual wedding ceremony and reception were like a fairy tale! If we had to get married again, we would certainly choose The Reach!
We got married 09/10/18 and I cannot say enough about this staff! Everyone at the resort knew who we were without us ever saying a word. Everyone from the event staff to housekeeping to the servers at the restaurant downstairs were amazing! We especially want to call out Blaire and Marina, they really helped us TREMENDOUSLY! We had the perfect day and won’t have dreamed of a different venue!
Started originally looking for places in the middle keys to get married. Irma came through and damaged our resort so we had to find a new place. I reached out to Ashley the event coordinator after recommendation from my wedding planner. She was so fast and efficient in getting back to me with numbers and options. This was so important to me because I only had 6 months to re-plan my dream wedding. Every question I had(and I had a lot) was answered quickly and they really worked with me to get everything at a comparable price to my original. The day of everything was breathtakingly amazing. I never once thought about my original resort as this was paradise and every detail was picture perfect. The food was phenomenal and everyone, I mean everyone commented on how this was the best wedding food they had ever had. The staff was personable and polite and my guests said it was the beyond their expectations. Thank you for everything Ashley and staff. If I could give you 10 stars I would.
place offered such a picture perfect spot to get married outside on the beach and which was my
We had our welcome reception for our wedding weekend at the Reach at their Caribe Patio on December 15, 2017. Ashley and the the Reach staff did everything to make it special. We were able to drop off decorations ahead of the event and the staff executed it all perfectly so we did not have to worry about it. The Reach staff and Ashley were amazing and helped make the event a success.
Our wedding was filled with many events... Including a hurricane that prevented guests from flying in, due to flight cancellations. The staff at The Reach were so helpful in canceling rooms and refunding deposits and NOT charging cancellation fees. Marina is absolutely the best... The Gazebo was not quite finished it's renovation and Marina did so much to accommodate and apologize.. The hotel went above and beyond our entire stay!! We had gifts from the front desk and Marina herself and a rose petal laced room with a petal heart on the bed after our wedding. To breakfast the next at different times for our guests departures... I would recommend The Reach a thousand times over for a wedding. It was a more than perfect and beautiful day!! Thanks to all!!!
Our small, intimate wedding at The Reach was perfect. The Reach fulfilled and overflowed my expectations. It was very easy to select and coordinate the ceremony, florist, cocktail hour (drinks and hors d'oeuvres) and day of planner. It seemed like each member of team worked so closely that they didn't even need me to do a thing but enjoy the day with our friends and family. Thank you for making our day stress free and magical!
We had our ceremony in the gazebo over the water and our reception on the Carribe Terrace. It was a gorgeous day- with an amazing backdrop. All of our guests couldn't get over how beautiful everything was! We aren't your traditional wedding couple- we got married at 10:30am and had a brunch reception complete with mimosas, bloody mary's and the signature Reach cocktail- the Key Lime Margarita. Everything they served was incredible! Marina Ray is the Catering Manager (wedding coordinator) at the Reach and she is great to work with! Trust me- do the Waldorf Wedding. It's incredible (and WAY more affordable than you'd think!)
Our wedding at The Reach was absolutely perfect! Marina and the rest of the staff made sure the ceremony and reception went smoothly, and that all the guests had a great time. I would highly recommend The Reach as a wedding venue. If we could do it all over again, we would.
Wedding of our dreams! The whole planning process was made easy despite me planning in a different time zone. Marina Ray was so helpful and answered any and all questions at any hour. Everyone who met her had wonderful things to say about her as well. Even when I had meltdowns she was there to support and ensure that everything was fine. All of our guests were amazed at the venue and the private feeling of the resort. We felt like we were the only ones on the beach. The food was great! The drinks were great and my glass was never close to being empty! What a day I am so happy we chose The Reach for our wedding!
We got married in this amazing hotel. Our ceremony was in the amazing Gazebo, what an awesome view ! Our cocktail hour and reception was at the Caribe Ballroom and terrace, which was the perfect spot to party "with a view"....our wedding was unforgetable. Marina Ray, our wedding coordinator at the Reach was sooooo helpful. She is the best!. Oh! and our room had an amazing view to our Gazebo....we had such an incredible time!
Our husband and I could not have asked for a better experience! Even when it seemed like the weather was against us, The Reach was very flexible in allowing us to wait a little for the weather to clear up for our beach wedding! The food was fantastic and flexible with our dietary restrictions (vegetarian). The Gazebo was great for those who may worry about weather conditions (since it will at least cover you for the ceremony) and offers an oddly traditional vibe to the overall experience.
We also stayed at The Reach for our wedding and had the most beautiful view of the ocean. Well worth the cost for one of the best experiences we could have in Key West.
Our wedding at The Reach was absolutely wonderful! My fiance' and myself had no idea what we were doing when we began planning our wedding but Marina was phenomenal from beginning to end. She was hands-on throughout the entire process which was such a huge relief - as planning a destination wedding from 1500 miles away can be quite stressful. Even better, Marina was able to accommodate my very particular taste which included an entirely vegetarian cocktail hour and dinner. This isn't everyone's cup of tea but the response I had from all of the guests was awesome as they had the most fantastic food options available so everyone was loving their plate!
In regards to the location itself, we had the ceremony on the gazebo which was unreal. The pictures online do not do it justice. The Caribe Terrace where our cocktail hour and reception was held was stunning and the views were incredible! All of our guests took turns taking photos to watch the sunset - stunning! From beginning to end, Marina and the staff at The Reach, made our wedding day perfect. There is no where else in Key West that even began to compare. After 10 months of planning, my fiance' and I joke that we won't know what to do now that we aren't sending incessant e-mails to Marina every day with questions about how we should handle some aspect of our wedding. Needless to say, it was the best experience of my life and if you have the opportunity to spend your day at such a friendly and beautiful location, I would highly recommend it!
The most amazing experience of my life! I can't express enough how incredible the staff was and how incredible Marina Ray was! We felt so comfortable, got such great service, and just had the most amazing experience! Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!
The Reach was hands down the most perfect wedding location. It is a one stop shop for a ceremony and reception site. We had an incredibly enjoyable experience working with the staff, especially Marina. She was extremely organized and attentive making sure every detail was exactly how we had pictured.
It rained all day before our ceremony/reception. The staff was extremely calm/attentive and never once made us feel like we had to settle on plan B because of the weather. After the skies cleared it was a perfect ceremony and reception. We would not change a thing about our wedding day thanks to The Reach! If you are going to get married in Key West but sure to go to The Reach! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding a beautiful and special memory!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful the on site coordinator is at the Reach. Marina always responded right away and had helpful tips throughout the planning process. The site is absolutely amazing itself and the rooms and location are perfect. I'm so glad we chose the Reach
From the moment we arrived till we left The Reach staff was amazing. They were so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable of the island. The hotel it's self is beautiful but what made us choose here for our wedding was the pier. What a beautiful backdrop with a cool breeze!!! My wedding day was amazing!! And all thanks go to Marina. She kept us at such ease with planning a destination wedding. She quick to answer any questions we had, and we had a lot. The day went so smooth and flawless!! Again amazing staff worked my small cocktail hour after ceremony. We over looked the ocean on their terrace. Breath taking view!! If your considering a Key West wedding The Reach is where to do it!!! Thanks again Marina!!
The Reach was an absolutely magical wedding location! Everything was perfect! The coordinator, Marina was absolutely fabulous! She did a wonderful job helping me planning my big day and the event went so smoothly! She always responded to my emails promptly and thoroughly! She was so attentive to all my needs and made sure that the guests were happy as well! I could not have asked for a better venue or a better coordinator! She really made my wedding day spectacular!
Marina and the staff were absolutely amazing on the day of our wedding. Caleb and I did not have to worry about a thing, as Marina took care of everything we asked here to do. The preferred vendor list that the Reach provided was excellent. The vedors knew exactly where to go, where to set up and worked significantly well with the venue. This made everything run that much more flawless. During the night of the reception, it was looking like it was going to rain so Marina prepared a back up plan for us. Luckily, we were okay and it did not rain! :) This is just one example of how organized and catering Marina was. Caleb and I did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding! Marina made our wedding day magical!
An amazing experience and fairy tale wedding. Marina and the team were so responsive and accommodating to all my needs and requests. I cant wait to go back for our 1 year anniversary!
Our wedding at The Reach was absolutely beautiful. We were very impressed at the ease in planning a destination wedding at The Reach. The catering manager (Marina Ray) was wonderful and answered all of my emails promptly. She also coordinated the wedding with expertise and ease. No need to hire a wedding planner. We were married on the gorgeous gazebo which was probably the main reason we chose this venue. The view of the water , the ocean breeze and the covered space ( minus the sand) is just perfect.Our guests enjoyed a fabulous cocktail hour, buffet meal and danced the night away under the stars. The candy buffet was also a big hit as were the mojitos. We highly recommend The Reach and could not be more pleased with the amazing wedding we, our family and friends will never forget.
Our wedding at the Reach was positively perfect. We had originally stayed at the Reach for a vacation, and knew at that time that we wanted to get married on the pier. Marina, our guide through the process, was there every step of the way. When I made a comment that I was a little nervous, her first response wasn't "don't worry, it'll be fine" but rather, "What can I do to help?" It doesn't sound like much, but that attitude is exactly what you need when it comes to determining the details. She was always available with advice and guidance when we weren't sure. Also, we didn't do a dinner package with the Strip House, but we did do a happy hour and champagne toast with the entire wedding and they were fantastic. We'll be back at this place for future vacations for sure!
My husband and I were married at The Reach Resort on 2-22-15. Our ceremony was held in the Gazebo, which was just as gorgeous in person as it was in the photos when I googled locations for weddings in Key West! Our cocktail hour and reception was held on the Caribe Terrace and Caribe Ballroom, which allowed for our guests to have plenty of room to move around, as well as cool off in the air conditioned ballroom. Marina was so helpful in every aspect of planning the wedding, especially since it was a destination wedding for us and were unable to visit it before our big day! She definitely helped keep myself as stress-free as possible! We had the buffet style dinner, which was absolutely delicious! The bar drinks were tasty as well! I would love to be able to visit The Reach in years to come for possible anniversary trips! I would hands-down recommend The Reach to anyone planning a wedding in Key West!!! Marina and staff, thank you so much for making our big day so special and memorable!!
Marina and crew were beyond amazing. Marina knows what is going on! She was right on task from day one. Since we are states away she really helped ease our minds on knowing that we had all our bases covered. The venue is beautiful and was exactly what we wanted. We had the best time at our wedding and our guests too. Definitely wouldn't change a thing!
I was married at The Reach on 11/22/2014. It was absolutely magnificent. The staff was amazing!! It was the most perfect day and they really went out of their way to accommodate us as well as our guests! Words cannot describe how beautiful the ceremony and reception were. We did the Luau buffet along with the Mojito Action Bar, which was worth every penny! Our ceremony was on the pier, which made for breathtaking photos. Little touches like sending up cheese and champagne to the bridal sweet while getting ready, to making sure we had a cocktail in our hand right after the ceremony were so sweet! Bottom line....amazing location, amazing resort, and amazing staff. I wouldn't have done it any other way! The cost was up there, but I am a big believer in getting what you pay for. We certainly got that and more. Thank you so much to The Reach staff for an amazing weekend!
Everything about our day was absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend!!
We got married on January 24, 2015. The Reach far exceeded our expectations and that of our almost 100 guests. The food was awesome and plentiful. We did the grill stations, which our guests loved. My husband's cousin is a wedding DJ and said this was the best food he has ever had at a wedding reception.
I can't say enough about Marina and her staff. From the moment we arrived we were treated impeccably. Marina was not only our wedding coordinator/event manager extraordinaire, but she was a friend, wise adviser, and had the ability to calm any and all members of the wedding party.
In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, she always answered any of my questions and quickly! She offered suggestions, and it was so easy to deffer to her judgement and taste.
Originally, we had planned to have the ceremony in the gazebo and the reception on the beach. Due to a rainy morning and forecasted wind, Marina and I decided to move it on to the terrace and Caribe Ballroom. It was the best decision!! While i love in theory the idea of being married on the beach, this was so much more practical. The decision to move was made at about noon on our wedding day, and Marina didn't miss a beat!! She contacted all the vendors and let them know of our change in plan and took care of everything, leaving me to only worry about where my next glass of champagne was coming from.
My husband and I have been hearing from family and friends that it was the best, most fun wedding they have ever attended.
Key West is special to my husband and I; we come regularly for vacation. We usually stay at another B&B and while The Reach is more expensive, it is definitely worth it and we will be coming back on our next trip to Key West.
I was also thrilled with the preffered vendor list from The Reach, we stuck to it almost exclusively and were not disappointed. It made my life so easy and from a planning prospective it was invaluable.
I just want to repeat that night and weekend with our family and friends over and over.
The Reach was the perfect venue that exceeded our wedding expectations! Nothing can beat the Gazebo for a ceremony. We loved that it was covered (in case of rain, but still outside!). My guests loved that they did not have to actually go on sand but were surrounded by beach and water. The terrace was perfect for our cocktail hour and we had dinner in the small ballroom. All our guests raved about the food the next day!
Marina was my coordinator and she did an amazing job! She was quick in responses of any questions I had. Even before we booked the venue, she gave us the longest tour of anywhere else we looked, and sat with us through every detail the Reach offered. The open bar and bar tenders were great also! As the bride, I always had a server near by asking what I needed or what they could do for me. They took our "left overs" (as we barely ate due to having to talk to all the guests) to our room and left them in our fridge.
I only have 2 complaints. One was that I was not aware that lighting on the terrace was an added costs with different options. The lighting people were often hard to get a hold of and really could have sold us on many things but didn't even try. In fact, they made it seem like I was bothering them (I sent a few emails over several months). The second was that once the cake was cut, no one knew where the actual slices went (they went back into the ballroom). Everyone was busy dancing and later asked me where cake was, I had no idea. But both of those things were so minor, I still give overall 5/5!!! Very happy! Thank you!
Based on other reviews I was hoping this would be the wedding of my dreams. In short, it was not. I was expecting 5 star accommodations and services and what I received was short of that. We had several guests staying at The Reach during our wedding and found out that their rooms had not been serviced by house cleaning for the ENTIRE week they had been staying there. When they complained to the front desk they offered them a discount only for that discount to be bogus and they charged their credit cards for "the remaining balance" weeks after their stay. During my wedding, a few of my guests were appalled by the way Nicole spoke to them to shuffle them to their seats. I was also under the impression that Nicole was going to handle things, like the guest book table and remaining items on the pier appropriately but instead the table was thrown together haphazardly and our unity sand bottles were left on the pier until 10 o'clock -- 4 hours after the ceremony. Thanks to my father-in-law for finding it or else we would be without this memento. I also understood that my reception dinner at the Strip House would be a private affair. However, it was not and guests from the hotel were also on the veranda sharing in my special moment. The following day I went to the hostess station to pick up a few items that had been left behind only to find out they had been lost and no one was apologetic or offered any real assistance to locate these items. I provided the table linens and received them smelling of rotten garbage tied up in black trash bags. The A/V department has recently reached out to me to let me know that I have a past-due balance --when I was under the impression that after providing them with my credit card information that it was to be charged the day of my event. Come to find out they had forgotten to run my card because they were too busy and now here we are 3 months past the wedding and they're tracking me down for money. Maybe I was expecting too much from this 5-star establishment. If I had it to do over again I would NOT have chosen The Reach to host my wedding and reception and am still completely upset at how much money was spent on such a disappointing evening.
Our experience with Marina Ray and The Reach Resort was one that my husband and I will never forget. From day 1 of contacting the venue for information and setting up an initial visit, Marina was kindhearted, responsive, and more than knowledgable about their wedding service offerings. Over the course of 8 months, Marina was a constant source of support and guidance throughout the daunting destination wedding process. She truly made us feel like we were the only wedding she was coordinating.
A few of our guests, myself included, have severe food allergies. Not only did Marina comfort our concerns (anyone with allergies knows just how frustrating it can be to eat out!), but she worked closely with the Chef to ensure that we had allergy-friendly alternatives. One of our guests informed us the DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING that they had also recently gone gluten-free. While we rushed to tell Marina to see if there was anything we could do, Marina assured us without hesitation that it would be taken care of. Not only was it taken care of, but the food was absolutely delicious - honestly, the best we’ve had on the island! And as someone who is gluten-, soy-, dairy-, and egg-free…this is beyond refreshing. If you have any food allergies whatsoever, rest assured; you are in great hands at The Strip House.
Another amazing example of Marina and the resort's amazing ability to go above and beyond… 3 months before our wedding, my mother was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. This brought much of our planning to a halt as we scrambled to fly home, handle legal arrangements, and provide emotional support. Marina was so accommodating with our situation and supported us every way she could. When my mother (thankfully) arrived at The Reach a few days before the wedding, the staff made sure to have a wheelchair waiting for her and upgraded her room so that she could be wheeled out onto the balcony to enjoy the view. Thinking about how special they made her feel throughout her weeklong stay still brings tears to my eyes. My mother raves to this day that they made her "feel like a Princess."
On the day of the wedding, Marina was a godsend. Whether it was helping my sister set up and decorate, or running (literally!) to the front desk to get a replacement key when my husband and I got locked out of our room in the middle of the ceremony, she made sure we had everything we needed and more.
One of our favorite highlights was our slideshows during the first dances which was projected up on the terrace's wall. Despite us not being able to give them the files until cocktail hour, Chip and his Audio Visual staff helped us pull this off without a hitch! They also set up ceremony microphones, string lights, and paper lanterns that we provided. I highly recommend their services!
All-in-all, we are 110% confident that we made the right choice. Our room (301, overlooking the pier) was one of the best decisions we made! The resort grounds are amazing, the pier is breathtaking, and the staff (everyone from the bartenders and wait staff to the concierge and management) is friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. I simply can’t rave enough how amazing our Wedding (and entire stay) was. Even our guests can’t stop talking about the “magic” of the experience and how The Reach was THE perfect location.
I'll put it this way, my husband and I already agreed to return every year to celebrate our Anniversary! :)
I can't even begin to explain how perfect my wedding was. From the venue to the service and the food, everything was absolutely amazing! My guests were definitely impressed and they are still talking about how great everything turned out. My husband and I wanted a beach wedding, but we didn't necessarily want to have it in the sand, because it can get pretty messy. Well The Reach was the perfect venue for it because they have a gorgeous gazebo in the water where ceremonies take place. The reception space is also beautiful, and the terrace is HUGE! We had dinner in the ballroom and dancing outside in the ocean view terrace, AMAZING!
The restaurant and The Reach is called the Strip House, and it's honestly my favorite on the island. Luckily, they cater the food for the weddings, so needless to say how good everything was. Your guests get to order a la carte, so they don't get cold food that has been plated and reheated hours ago, instead they get a fine dining restaurant meal (PS the filet with creamed spinach and mashed is TO DIE FOR.)
The service was impeccable. The staff is great and very accommodating. I had some celiac and vegetarian guests and they were taken care of with a great meal. Marina Ray the event coordinator was a pleasure to work with. Honestly I don't know what we would've done without her. From the planning, to the rehearsal, to the actual wedding day she was there to answer any questions and help us out in every way. We will forever be thankful to the staff at The Reach, we had the most amazing wedding and it was everything I've ever imagined and more. I highly recommend this venue if you are having a wedding in Key West, you won't regret it!!!

Hi!
Since I stayed in this hotel in 2012, I put my eyes on that beautiful pier/gazebo! I live in LA, so having a destination wedding was not my first choice, but as soon as I contacted The Reach and Marina I knew it was the right choice. Marina was always very responsive, super nice, very through... you know you are dealing with professionals that will make sure everything will go perfectly, just like it went with my wedding 2 weeks ago. I have absolutely no complaints, it went as I expected and more!! Definitely the wedding and team of my dreams. Gracias Marina!! You are truly amazing and hope to see you again soon :)
This was an exquisite choice in venue. Love has no bounds, because 50 guests traveled great distances to witness a perfect day. We were looking for a place where everyone could find a little piece of adventure, but quiet. We decided on "The Reach" in Key West. We were a little concerned, since we could just not make it down,but let me tell you there was nothing to be concerned about! Nicole assured me everything would be fine, and were they right! Marina one word –Incredible. She is amazing. She did an awesome job from start to finish. She worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect. She made sure we were all where we needed to be when we needed to be there. I never once looked outside, when I walked down and saw everything, I just thought, how amazing. Everything was set exactly how I imagined. Our ceremony took place at the Gazebo (which was just breathtaking). Our cocktail/reception took place right on the beach which had such an awesome atmosphere. The most important part of this day was us getting married, but really Marina and her team, just WOW. The service – Impeccable. Their positive attitudes, their willingness to accommodate our every need and their experience with weddings is what made our day all that we could ask for – perfect. This place went above and beyond from start to finish.The food was super delish, everything was cooked to perfection.They also accommodated our Gluten-Free guest with no problem. The chocolate covered strawberries and assorted petit fours were a perfect complement to our cake. The whole experience from the day we arrived 3 days prior to our wedding and the days following were beyond anything I could have imagined. Our guests who also stayed at "The Reach" were just amazed at the service..they handled our day/our stay like true professionals. They delivered premier service across the board. I would recommend to every bride!! Thank you to "The Reach" for the best day ever - See you soon.
We had such a wonderful experience having our Wedding in Key West at The Reach. It was so nice staying there and enjoying the private beach and being able to watch other weddings from our balcony. I can't say enough about Marina and the staff. They were all so great to work with. I am so thankful they were also able to accommodate us needing a gluten free menu. All our guests complemented the food and cocktails!
It's a beautiful hotel with a friendly staff. Food prices are a little expensive but we found that almost everywhere we went in Key West. We had an a amazing time and hope to go back soon!
We recently had our wedding at The Reach. The pier & gazebo was the perfect setting for the destination wedding that we were wanting. The venue, staff, food, etc. was absolutely phenomenal!!! Nicole Noyes, Manager for the Strip House was amazing and absolutely pulled everything together to make our day easy and memorable, not only for us, but for all of our guests and other vendors. If anyone is planning a tropical destination wedding, we would highly recommend The Reach and are already looking forward to coming back.
Thank you again for making our day extremely memorable and for being a part of it!

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at the Reach. We live in North Carolina and both have very time consuming jobs so we weren't sure if we could pull off a destination wedding in Key West. We took the chance, though, and booked the Reach, sight unseen. The event coordinators, Nicole and Marina, were incredible and gave us a ton of help throughout the planning and during the actual event. The vendor list provided by them made it simple to begin our search and we had no complaints with any of our selections. Nicole and Marina were always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process. We hired a wedding coordinator, Jen from We've Got The Keys, for the day of the event, but the majority of the planning was done by the bride.
The ceremony was incredible and the location was without a doubt the best in Key West. In total, we had 67 guests, which the venue and vendors accommodated with ease. We went with Steve Torrence as our officiate and couldn't be happier with our selection. The Gazebo was on the water but was also covered and floored so the guests were comfortable. The view was amazing and unobstructed with a breathtaking sunset from the 4th floor of the resort. The reception was equally incredible with outdoor dancing at the Caribe Terrace/ballroom overlooking the ocean on a beautiful moonlit night. The service was quick and professional with no complaints from any of our guests. The Strip House food was excellent, allowing the guests to choose between a large filet mignon and a chicken dish. The appetizers during the cocktail hour stole the show, however, with creative selections for the guests to choose from. We also opted for an open bar and Key Lime Margaritas, which were delicious. Nicole was by our side the day of the wedding, going far above and beyond what we would have expected. She worked hand in hand with the wedding coordinator and the vendors to ensure everything was set up perfectly and the entire day went smoothly and stress free for the bride. She checked on the bride and groom continually, ensuring all of our needs were met and helped guide us through the day. Nicole also provided us with snacks and drinks, making sure we remained stress free for the wedding. To cap it all off, she personally decorated our room with flowers and towels formed into swans, hearts, and other creative designs.
We stayed at the Reach for most of the week along with the majority of our family and friends. The staff was very accommodating and even provided welcome gifts and a bottle of champagne to us and our families. The resort upgraded us to their best 2 room suite overlooking the ocean and went out of their way to ensure our guests had the best available rooms. The resort itself was beautiful with a private beach and a great location near Duval St.
The attention to detail, professional staff, and personal touch made our wedding perfect. It's been over a month and we're still getting rave reviews from all of our guests. We highly recommend the Reach - truly the wedding of a lifetime.
Our wedding took place at The Reach Resort in Key West, FL. We had decided to do a destination wedding, and through our wedding planner, we found The Reach. The staff was excellent and very accommodating. My groom was the one who planned our wedding, and Nicole made his planning from afar very easy. The day of the whole staff involved made sure that our needs were taken care of, and we were happy with the results. Nicole was not only there to help coordinate the event, but offered to help us in any way possible. The location for the event was beautiful, and our guests enjoyed that the pier/gazebo was shaded from the hot sun. We also had our reception dinner at the Strip House Restaurant inside The Reach. The food was very excellent! Many of our guests have told us the food was one of the best they have ever had at a wedding. There were plenty of servers for each table. We even had our own server at the sweetheart table. Everything about our experience at The Reach Resort was wonderful, and we will definitely recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married in Key West FL.
Hands down Reach Resort is the best place to get married in Key West! Our wedding was a dream come true and it was all made possible by our wedding planner of course and all the staff at Reach. Nicole and her staff took care of every detail and took all the stress off me and my husband. The location of the resort is perfect and the view of the beach is breathtaking. Our guests could not stop raving about the excellent service staff, the food and the amazing venue. I would recommend Reach to anyone considering a Key West wedding!
I can not say enough good things about my wedding that took place at The Reach. The staff were so attentive to each and every need of not just myself, but all wedding guests. They took care of things that needed to be done without me having to ask or worry. My only regret is that the day didn't last longer, because it was such a great day filled with wonderful memories. Nicole and her staff were great to work with being from out of state and planning a wedding. We made one trip down to the resort prior to getting married to prepare and they were great! Any questions or concerns we had were answered promptly. I honestly cannot say enough good things about The Reach, staff and Nicole. Our wedding would not have been the same if we didn't choose to have it at The Reach. Ohh and my husband couldn't stop talking about how great the food was!
We decided on a small wedding (15 people including us) somewhere warm and with tropical drinks. We chose Key West for the nightlife and activities, weather, and proximity to Key Largo (we spent the honeymoon diving Key Largo’s reefs). We wanted a ceremony on the water and a sit down dinner for 15 with no reception. We narrowed down all the resorts on the island based on the resort having a good beach, flexibility for a small group, and the advice of a friend who had lived there. We made our final choice based on the communications with the event planners. Nicole at The Reach was great! She knew exactly what I was looking for, didn’t try and upsell, and didn’t treat our small wedding as less important.
The Reach was fantastic. The beach was fantastic. Having a concierge to bring lunch and drinks to you on the beach made the trip really relaxing.
The wedding was perfect. We did pictures ahead of time, and Nicole made sure the first look went well and was organized. We returned to find a drink waiting for each of us. Nicole organized our guests in the bar and then led them out to the gazebo. The whole thing was perfectly smooth from start to finish. I really didn’t have to do anything except get myself ready. We did a pre-set menu from The Strip House, but they were great about adapting. We paid a pp 3-course rate and paid per drink for the bar. We also gave permission for guests to add-on anything they’d like. One guest subbed an appetizer for something else (no charge), and we all added ice cream to our cakes (we paid). My mom has severe food allergies which were handled perfectly with some menu changes made ahead of time for her alone.
The resort is expensive, but worth every penny if you want a resort (beach, pool, water rentals). The wedding prices were really reasonable for the level of service and food Nicole and The Reach provided. Our guests were really happy, and we will hopefully be back next year!
My husband and I got married here on March 1st and loved it! The weather was incredible and the service was amazing! Their in house wedding planner helped me coordinate the dozens of details to make our wedding day so special. The venue was breathtaking and the accommodations were endless! I can't wait to come back and celebrate year after year!
We began searching for the perfect destination wedding venue about a year ago. We saw amazing pictures and reviews for The Reach. Once we spoke with Nicole, the catering sales manager, we were sold. She is absolutely amazing. She provided us with wonderful tips on planning and a list of preferred vendors. Our whole wedding was literally planned through e-mails and phone calls. We were unable to make a trip to check out the resort and the amenities. As the weeks got closer to the big day, we were both a bit nervous regarding how the event would turn out. We had about 40 guests from all of the country and wanted a wonderful event. We were absolutely blown away regarding how easy the planning was. The vendors that we chose were amazing to work with and there was little stress. When we arrived at the resort, we were treated like royalty. There was a surprise in our room and the staff there were wonderful and friendly. We met with Nicole the day before to go over a few last details and were told to relax it was all taken care of. This was so true. The day of the wedding, Nicole came up and went over the final details with us. They sent up champagne and a snack platter. She came and got each of us from the rooms where we were getting ready. The weather was perfect and the gazabo was a breath taking view for the ceremony. The reception was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests even commented that it was truly the best wedding they had ever been to. The ceremony and the events were flawless. Nicole and the vendors knew exactly what to do. It truly exceeded our expectations. It was truly the most beautiful wedding ever! I would highly recommend The Reach...It is an amazing venue and the staff/vendors were wonderful!
First of all, I rarely write reviews because there are very few things I'd highly recommend!
From the very beginning of our destination wedding planning, we knew the wedding location was going to be one of the most important vendors to research and secure. After picking The Reach as our ceremony venue in Key West, Florida, the research process started! The challenge lies in finding someone you trust enough to capture all senses on the most important day of a couple’s life. However Nicole and her staff made this process seamless with their trusted preferred vendor list. All the vendors on the list were easy to work with and put our minds at ease that everything would be flawless and it was. For this we feel very blessed!
Needless to say, our Wedding Day didn’t disappoint! It was one of the most magical moments/experiences of my life and our guests were blown away as well! Everyone was stunned with how beautiful and flawless the entire ceremony was.
This was all possible because Nicole and her staff did an amazing job. Nicole’s great at giving direction, keeping everyone on time and in place, is extremely professional and responsive (emails were replied within a few hours), and is also amazingly friendly and calm, making my wedding day feel stress-free and at ease.
You will never know how much we appreciated everything you did to ensure our day was nothing short of Magical!
Kindest Regards,
David & Katrena Meyers
We were married at The Reach on 5/21/2014. Nicole and Marina were so attentive to our wants and needs. Every detail was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have picked a better place!! Our ceremony and reception were beyond perfect. The food was to die for! Our suite after the reception was even decorated with rose petals, folded swans, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. It was amazing! A truly perfect venue for a fairytale wedding!
Thank you so much Nicole, Marina, and the rest of The Reach Staff for making my dreams come true!
We had our ceremony and reception here, and it was perfect. We had the ceremony on the gazebo over the water and it was amazingly beautiful. We decided to have the reception on site, even though it was a bit out of our budget, but it was completely worth it. The staff was great, particularly the women in charge of events. You will pay a pretty penny for food, but it is worth it, the food there is amazing. I have been to a lot of weddings and never been wowed by the food like I was here. We stayed at the reach as well, and they did a great job making us feel welcome and important.
What an amazing experience! My husband and I got married at The Reach this past Saturday and the entire experience was magical. Nicole was involved from the beginning, she assisted with our tastings, modified the menu for our guests with food allergies and the day of the wedding sent us a bottle of champagne with chocolates. Nicole perfected our wedding day.
The outside gazebo was perfectly clean and presentable.
I don't have one negative thing to say about The Reach!
My daughter was married on Sunday, May 4,2014 at the Reach Resort. It was everything that my daughter thought it would be when she found The Reach a year ago and booked the venue.
Nicole and Marina were very attentive to my daughter's requests and responded promptly. Everything was top notch from start to finish. The gazebo was used for the ceremony, cocktail hour on the beach and an open air reception on the caribe terrace. The food was super ! Appetizers were served for an entire hour during the cocktail hour, the sit down dinner for 51 was superb and I still have guests commenting how great the food tasted. There is not one thing that I would change about that day, the staff went above and beyond to make sure that it was a class act.
Since this was a destination wedding and a weekend event, many of the guests stayed at The Reach Resort and were very pleased with all from the accommodations, outdoor activities, staff attentiveness, and the wonderful food from the Strip House.
The Reach was the absolute best! Nicole Noyes of The Strip House was beyond fantastic. She, her assistant Marina, and her entire staff went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding her dream fairy tale come true. Everything about the wedding and reception went seamlessly. Nicole thinks of what you need even before you know you need it and it's already taken care of. Impeccable service and delicious food with a great selection of dishes. I cannot say enough good things about The Reach as a venue!
I really couldn't decide if I wanted a casual wedding or a more formal one. The Reach was the perfect balance. The food and caribe ballroom had a more formal vibe but outside on the terrace where the cocktail hour, dancing and bars were was exactly how I pictured a relaxed Key West wedding to be. It was the perfect balance.
As I walked down the pier to the gazebo for the ceremony I could not believe that it was my wedding. It was absolutely breathtaking. The reception itself was amazing. The food was delicious and the terrace was the perfect spot. Everyone had such a great time which was the most important aspect for me. The staff was completely attentive, there wasn't a minute that someone from the staff wasn't trying to help me out, whether it was getting me a drink, making sure i had tried all of the cocktail hour or fluffing up my dress. The only problem I had was that the cake was cut and served inside so no one ate it because they were having fun outside. If I would have known, I would have asked for the cake to be served with the sundae bar outside because everyone missed out on a delicious cake! It was an expensive venue but I wouldn't change the location for anything. Because it is a hotel in Old Town Key West, weddings have to be done at 11PM which kind of stunk but that's one of the few issues I had
As a destination wedding planner I have the privilege of working with many venues around the world. My latest wedding this past weekend took place at The Reach in Key West and I have to say I would love to return in a heartbeat. Everything about my planning experience and the execution was perfect. Finding a beach in the Keys is rare but the one at The Reach is authentic and intimate. Besides the beach, there is a lovely and romantic gazebo available for ceremonies so brides have a difficult decision to make. My couple chose the beach and everything about the experience was wonderful. On wedding day the beach was covered in sea grass which had washed up overnight, but the grounds crew took care to rake and prep the ceremony location for our sunset ceremony. Chairs and decor were set just as requested and given the location of the beach, we really had a private ceremony at sunset.
Nicole and her assistant, Marina were professional and yet very fun to work with. They take their jobs seriously, but clearly enjoy themselves and make their client's relaxed and comfortable. From start to finish, we had a wonderful planning experience and of course the wedding day was flawless. My couple chose the grill buffet and the food was plentiful and delicious. Every detail and request was tended to with a smile, which I appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Reach in Key West to future couples.
Planning a destination wedding is not easy; this is an understatement. However, the attention, care and service we received from The Reach, and specifically from Catering Manager Nicole Noyes, made our wedding planning and execution about as easy as it could possibly have been.
Nicole and the staff at The Reach were always available for our numerous (also an understatement) inquiries and promptly returned any calls or emails; usually within an hour or so. Nicole assisted us in using only the services we wanted and that fit within our budget; at no time did we ever feel pressured to use any service that we were not absolutely sold on. She lent us assistance in contracting with other vendors and helped us understand what we should be asking. This was an ENORMOUS help.
Our wedding went off without a hitch - absolutely fantastic. The staff at The Reach ensured everything was PERFECT, down to the smallest detail. When a drink was spilled by a guest on the gazebo, there were three staff members there within 2 seconds to clean it. Yes, this was the only thing that went "wrong".
The terrace and banquet room were decorated BEAUTIFULLY and surpassed how even we had envisioned it. The food, which was grilled on the terrace by one of the chefs, was simply amazing. The bartenders and servers were fast, courteous and incredibly friendly; and always visible for any needs of our guests. Every piece of furniture, decoration, and lighting/sound equipment was in the precise location. The banquet manager was present and ensured that every detail was followed flawlessly.
The most amazing part of our experience was Nicole being so present and available on the day of our wedding. She took personal care to make sure that not only the bridal party, but also the parents and guests of the wedding, were where they were supposed to be at the exact times they needed to be there. At no time was there ever a worry; she addressed all possible issues before they could ever become "issues".
The only criticism I possibly have is that we were never able to truly thank each member of the staff personally for the incredible job they did in making our wedding dream become the perfect day.
If you are considering getting married here think again!
Seriously some of the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.
My journey started out speaking on January 19th with Marina who I was dealing with over email. I asked her a handful of questions and instead of having them answered I was sent a form letter. This was fine, I am sure they get a lot of emails, so I kept chugging forward. As of February 9th I said that I wanted to book my ceremony there and possibly food, but I was not sure on the food yet.
After this I heard nothing for three days, on day 3 I was reached out to by someone named Nicole, who asked if I had been helped. I said no, and asked her to assist me in booking my ceremony and letting me know more about the food options available. Three days passed and instead of getting my questions answered I was asked all the questions I already answered when trying to book with Marina. I again thought, that's fine they must be busy, so I answered the questions again.
Finally February 19th rolled around and after I sent a 2nd email I finally received a response. Again however my questions were not fully answered. I decided to call, when I called I was put in touch with Jason. He told me about the menu options and we agreed to one of the very limiting options. A contract was finally sent.
Once we received the contract we agreed that the food options were just too limiting, so I emailed asking if we could order straight from the menu. Again five days passed, so I sent a second email, still not getting a response I called and this time I was once again put on the phone with Marina.
Marina said she would ask and get back to me. I told her if we were going to be so limited then I was going to look into other places for dinner. At this point I was told that regardless of what I decided that my date and time were secure and that my quests could feel totally comfortable booking their trips. So my guests began booking their flights and their stay at the Reach.
Marina got back to me later that day letting me know we could not order from the menu that we had to stick to their limited options. I understood why they had to do this so I asked for them to change the contract back to just the ceremony.
Now today, three months before my wedding with most of my guests already booked. I was told that I could no longer get married at 5PM, but they would be happy to move my ceremony to 2PM. When I asked why, I was told it was because we decided to eat at a different location, even though in the beginning I was told that I was perfectly fine booking the ceremony without a reception. And only a day prior I was told over the phone by Marina that the date and time was secure for the ceremony and that my guests could feel safe booking.
So now today, I have had to scramble, to find a new location for my event since we wanted an evening wedding. I have also had to have all my guests cancel their hotel reservations.
Thank God however I came across the Southernmost at the Beach. It is right next-door to the Reach. Within three hours I was able to book a wedding, food, and guests rooms and had the most amazing customer service experience.
I would avoid the Reach at all costs, their service is extremely poor.
We knew when we saw photos of The Reach Gazebo out over the beautiful teal water of KW that it was the perfect location for our ceremony. Then we met with Nicole, their wedding planner/catering manager and that sealed the deal for us! She helped us every step of the way by providing us with preferred vendors lists, a wedding planning guide, etc. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her staff!!! Every vendor we chose through the preferred list also did not disappoint and that is because they have very high standards. We did bring our own photographer from our hometown, but she worked with him to assure that everything was in place and that he knew the resort to capture all of the great shots available here. They now plan to add him to their preferred vendors list too! For this bride that is quite OCD, our day was seamless and everything we dreamed and hoped it would be! We have to thank Nicole for this as she assured that everything would start on time, everyone would be exactly where they were supposed to be and it went exactly as she said. They even shut down one side of the beach to allow your group to capture photos as the sun sets! Thank you Nicole and The Reach for helping to make our day so perfect!
Nicole helped us and the wedding and reception was great!! They had everything just as we wanted it and the guests are still talking about the amazing food!! This was such a good time and Nicole made sure we had a drink in our hand at all times!! If you are on the fence I would definitely use them! You won't be disappointed!!
My fiance and I wanted a small destination wedding and had our hearts set on Key West. We had booked a venue and fell in love with it and then 2 months later found out that our Catering Manager double booked our space. (I will not name the other property here) So we went back down to the Keys to find a new venue. We had looked at several places and The Reach was not on our list to begin with - since it was a Waldorf Astoria I had assumed that it would be way out of our budget. So we had the car parked and were on our way back to Miami but were still not in love with any of the places we have met with so we decided to stop at the Reach to look around. We did not have an appointment but Nicole, the Catering Sales Manager was there and was more than happy to show us around. She made us feel so comfortable and we instantly clicked with her - we walked through all of the menu options and found one that was perfect for us. The place is absolutely gorgeous - they have the most beautiful gazebo on a pier on the water for the ceremonies and you really dont need any additional decor. So we signed a contract that day and had our wedding set! Throughout the entire process Nicole was friendly, responsive and helpful - we never had to wait on anything from her which is wonderful when you are trying to plan your wedding from 1500 miles away! When we arrived for the our wedding and met with Nicile it wil like meeting an old friend by that point - she reassured us that everything was going to be perfect and went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed. On the day of the wedding she was amazing and was right by our side the entire day. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. We really could not have asked for anythign more. We had 40 people total and had our ceremony on the pier with the reception and dinner on the terrace. Nicole knows all of the vendors as well so she worked directly with them on the day of the wedding to make sure all was set at the right times. I honestly dont think I would have changed one thing about the entire experience - if we had to do it all over again we would do everything the same! We used Lenka for florals with Simply Unique Floral and she was amazing - the flowers were exactly what we had hoed for! Solaris and Marcela were our photographers - they were a delight to work with - we still have not see the pictures yet since our wedding was just last week but I know they will be perfect! Lori Bollander did our hair and make-up - I highly recommend her - she was easy to work with and we had a blast getting ready with her. We really gave her little direction - just showed her a couple of pictures and we were all thrilled with what she did for us. All in all it was a great experience - I would recommend the Reach to anyone planning a destination wedding in Key West - it was seriously a top notch event - all of our guests are still commenting on what a great time they had and how beautiful everything was.
Nicole and her team really created a wedding that I didn't even know could exist! A destination wedding with the least amount of stress was my dream. Of course there are arrangements that need to be made especially if you don't hire a wedding planner like I neglected to do. Even without a planner, Nicole and her team stepped up to make sure everything went as planned.
The ceremony was held on their beach gazebo. I was crazy nervous and Nicole helped calm my nerves before the long walk. The cocktail hour was held on the ballroom terrace and my guests could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was. The fried shrimp was a BIG hit by the way! And finally, the reception was held in the Caribe Ballroom. We thought there wasn't enough decorations, but Nicole made everything work together. I swear it was like walking into a dream when we finally made it to the reception after pictures. And looking back, I could not have asked for anything else. The service, the food, and the location was simply perfect. I would most definitely recommend this resort, the location, and the service team to host your wedding! They exceed expectations!
After several trips to Key West and touring a wide variety of venues for our wedding, we finally went to The Reach and absolutely fell in love! We got married at The Reach Resort in November 2013. Nicole and Marina were amazing! From start to finish, they made planning the wedding easy and fun. No detail was left untouched by them and they took the time to go above and beyond for every detail of the event. The location and views are breathtaking. The staff is warm, courteous and helpful. The food is phenomenal! The price is comparable if not better than other locations on Key West. It is certainly worth it, because they truly care about you and want to make your day the best it can be! Also, they have parking at the hotel- this is huge for Key West as parking can be limited depending on the location. Nicole, Marina and The Reach will always have a special place in my heart and we will certainly be back to The Reach soon!
Thank you Nicole and team at The Reach, in Key West!!! we had an amazing day and you made it sooo easy!!! The site is beautiful and your staff is sweet and helpful, it could not have gone better! thank you!
Our wedding at The Reach was spectacular. It truly is one of the most beautiful locations on the island to be married, it’s hands down breathtaking. Nicole Noyes was amazing, she was on top of all of the details for our big day; working with our wedding planners to make sure everything was to our liking and perfect. Nicole even helped us find our officiant Steve, who was equally amazing. The pier where we were married offered an amazing view with a great breeze and shade to keep our guests comfortable. Our cocktail hour was lovely on the terrace and the drinks & hors d’ oeuvres were served quickly and there was more than enough to go around. The lighting that was set up on the terrace where we had dinner was also gorgeous. My only complaint was that our entrees came out very slow and the chicken was not a favorite for our guests, our guests did however love the grouper fish. The desserts offered by the hotel that accompanied our cake were delicious and left no need for a dessert bar. Overall I would absolutely recommend The Reach it’s totally worth the money… Five Star all the way.
Our wedding weekend could not have been more special! Planning a wedding from hundreds of miles away is no easy task, but Nicole and the staff at the Reach were wonderful! Always quick to respond to all of our questions, ready with whatever we may have needed, and they bent over backwards to accommodate us during the weekend of our wedding! I received rave reviews from all of our guests that traveled from over 10 states to attend our wedding. I have to say I had high expectations going in to it and they far exceeded them! I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day without having to worry about any of the details. It was all we could have dreamed of and more! Thank you for making our wedding day so special!
Unforgettable day! Nothing but perfection, food was great, service great and a breath taking view. If you want it all have you wedding at the Reach Key West.
