Dear family and friends, We are pleased to share that our destination wedding will take place in Key West in April 2027, with a welcome party on April 15 and the wedding on April 18. Hotel reservations typically open between April and June 2026. Please note that no room blocks will be held; recommended hotels and discount codes are available on the Travel page of our website, theknot.com/mrandmrsemanuel. Since rooms will not be reserved, accommodations will be first come, first served, though you may look up typical April pricing now to plan ahead. While we hope you can join us, we completely understand if travel is not possible. We are so grateful for your love and support. To assist our planners, please RSVP by June 1 on the website and include your anticipated arrival date and whether you will attend the April 15 welcome party. With love and gratitude, Josette &amp; Nicholas

Wedding Information

These are discounted hotel rates from our wedding planner. We chose this option instead of a room block this way there are different options to fit everyone’s needs. The bride &amp; groom will be staying at the Santa Maria Suites because that accommodates the space they need for the week they are there! (Update : Waiting to hear back from Santa Maria they may be renovating during April 2027) Feel free to choose whatever is best for you! This is a small walkable area so we would all still be close to one another.Thank you so much for traveling to be apart of our special day! I also listed some other options without codes at the bottom of the page! Key West is filled with hotels and air bnb options for all to browse! highlight, copy &amp; paste the link under each option into your web browser to see, get an idea of pricing. However the actual booking for April 2027 is available 1 year to 10 months in advanced depending on option.

Travel

Go check out the Southern Most point marker around the corner from the Southern Most resort! 

The Southern Most point 

Take a stroll down Duval street for shopping, eating, and nightlife. Duval Street stops serving at 4am! 1.25 miles in length, but the hyperbolic nickname stems from the way it runs from the northern tip of Key West to the Southernmost Point, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean! Friday night would love if everyone would head out to Duval in their best Jimmy Buffet florals! Even if you do your own thing we could somewhat bar/restaurant hop!

Duval Street 

All plans for Friday & Saturday are totally optional! You can choose to do your own thing based on what works for you! There are plenty of restaurants to choose from.   Things to check out during your stay: Cuban coffee queen, Sloppy Joes, Fort Zachary Taylor, even take a ride on a Conch Train.

Things to Do

Registry

Whats with Jimmy Buffet floral night!? Jimmy Buffett's significance to Key West is immense, as he helped define the island's laid-back, tropical rock vibe, making it world-famous through his music and lifestyle. He first arrived in 1972 and was inspired by the local culture, which led to hit songs and the creation of his Margaritaville empire, establishing Key West as the quintessential escape and becoming a central part of its identity. His legacy is deeply ingrained in the city, from landmarks like the Shrimp Boat Sound studio to the annual Just a Few Friends celebrations that honor him.
