About

Hey there, lovebirds! I'm Wendy. Dreaming of a wedding in the Florida Keys? Well, you're in luck, because that's definitely my thing! Key Destination Weddings is a full service wedding planning and design company standing by to help bring your "Big Day" dreams to life!

Here's a quick bit about me: I've been working in the event industry in the Keys for 27 years, and for the past 12 of those, I've been all about weddings. From ocean front hotel to bayside boutique, from Ocean Reef Club to Postcard Inn - you name it, I've planned it. And it's not just about the beautiful venues; it's also about the hard-working people behind the scenes and all the hidden gems each spot has to offer. We know them all.

What makes me different? After so many years in the business, I've established wonderful relationships in the community, I've learned when to listen and when to take action, and I've learned to see an issue before it becomes a problem. Share your wedding dreams with me, and I'll help bring them to life. With our powers combined, we'll lock down the perfect location, build a team of amazing vendors, and sprinkle in all those little extras that'll have your guests talking about your wedding for years!

But hey, enough about me. I wanna hear all about YOU! Tell me your story, how you two met and what you're envisioning for the big day. My mission? Making sure you and your partner have the best day ever.

Still on the fence? Check out our raving 5-star reviews. If you like what you see, give me a shout. Let's make some wedding magic together!

Our Key Largo Wedding

We are from Indiana, so having a destination wedding can be difficult especially when you’re not from the area. Wendy was helpful is every way when planning my wedding states away! And she was even more helpful the day of the wedding. I never felt overwhelmed even when things didn’t go as planned. She was in constant contact with me the entire month of my wedding. I cannot recommend Wendy more. Especially if you’re having a destination wedding!! She’s everything you want and need in a planner!!!

Made The Day SO Smooth

We hired Wendy and her team as our Month of Wedding Coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were coming from New Jersey and we wanted someone who not just knew the places but could also help us in that final crunch time. She made so many great recommendations after I gave her some invoices and pointed out things I should look into or do. One example was getting string lights for the beach area which I never would have thought of if not for her and our guests talked about how good of an idea that was. The day of the wedding also could not be more smooth. She was there early to make sure we got everything we ordered and were all in the perfect places. I am a worrier and I was nervous I was going to be anxious the whole day and during the wedding but Wendy put my mind at ease and we had the absolute best day ever in large part due to Wendy and her team.

Professional

Wendy and team were excellent. Poured rain on our wedding day, Wendy and team made the day low stress and was there to help with every decision. She made the day that much easier and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her staff to anyone.

What is not to like? I've worked with Carin and Wendy 5 times and have enjoyed making their promotional films for the Florida Keys Destination Wedding Show as well as the show film. Look around for detail oriented people and then look at these two. They seem to have it all organized beyond anything you'd expect. Every bride I've met who has used them can't be live how lucky they were to find them. One of the premiere wedding and event planning companies in the Florida Keys.
