    Dream Wedding

    I chose Key West for our destination wedding simply because I found The Audubon House on this app! I did not see the venue in person until the day before wedding a blown away by how beautiful it is. My dream wedding in a plush and tropical space. The location was also great for guests to get to and close to duval street to be able to walk to after our reception for an after party. So happy with this venue!!

    Audubon House & Tropical Gardens's reply:

    Amazing!

    There’s really not anything I can say that hasn’t been said by other reviewers. I will start with the venue itself, it's stunning. The venue is the perfect combination of tropical oasis and wedding venue. I booked the venue sight unseen, and it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The pictures do not do justice to the property. Aside from the setting, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Laura. Laura helped us bring our wedding vision into reality after a nearly three year Covid delay! She was absolutely amazing and was always there to answer any of our questions and offer her expert opinion. This venue is all around amazing.

    Customer Service and Helpfulness was extraordinary

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura at the Audubon House helping me plan my daughters wedding! She went above and beyond her duties to ensure that we all felt comfortable with all of the arrangements. She communicated with all of the other vendors as well to make sure everything was in place. The grounds are beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for my daughters small and intimate wedding. However the venue would accommodate more! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful garden wedding .....thank you Laura!!

    Audubon House & Tropical Gardens's reply:

    Wow Karen, thank you for such a wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure being part of Brenna and Ben's wedding and working with you! I'm happy to hear that it was a magical and memorable day for all! If you ever make it back to Key West, please stop by and say hello. All my best to you and your family.
    Warmest regards,
    Laura

    Dream Venue

    When I first did a venue tour through Audubon House grounds, I knew this was the perfect place for our Key West wedding. The grounds themselves don’t need much decor to look totally done up, because the gardens are so beautiful in their own right. We rented string lights for the courtyard (note to future couples, say yes to the lights, most magical vibes) and it really brought the place together. This was the perfect size venue for our party of about 75. Intimate enough to feel like everyone is at one big dinner table, but big enough to not get claustrophobic. The set up was perfect for dinner and dancing - we had plenty of space on the dance floor, but not too much space where it felt empty and had a great time all night!! Our guests continually commented on how beautiful Audubon House was! Laura was also absolutely wonderful to work with - seamless interactions from start to finish. We could not have picked a better place to have our long awaited Covid postponed wedding!

    Audubon House & Tropical Gardens's reply:

    Hi Kristina,
    Thank you for such a wonderful review on WeddingWire! I love the pictures you posted of your wedding. They turned out beautiful. I have always thought the gardens look magical in the evening, especially when everything is set up and they certainly did for your wedding! I'm happy to hear that it was a memorable evening for all! Wishing you and Carl all the best!
    Warm regards,
    Laura

    Amazing experience at Audubon House

    Truly the most beautiful day of our lives. The Audubon looked stunning and the service was outstanding! I would recommend to anyone considering getting married in KW. Special thank you to Laura at the Audubon.

    Wonderful venue!

    This is truly one of the most beautiful places to get married in Key West! It is full of historical charm, and the tropical gardens are pristine. On top of that, the staff is very professional and accommodating! We loved having our wedding at the Audubon House, and we highly recommend it to others with a discerning eye for all that is quintessential Key West!

    Padavano wedding

    Laura and everyone at Audubon house did an amazing job with our wedding! We’re from Pennsylvania so trying to plan a wedding from a far was tough but Laura kept me updated and made suggestions every step of the way. I felt totally at ease on my wedding day and everything went perfect. We had weather concerns and Laura was able to help us get a clear tent at the last minute (we ended up not needing it but it still looked beautiful). I highly recommend Audubon House for your wedding if you’re looking for a tropical wedding but different than your normal beach wedding.

    Audubon House & Tropical Gardens's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful review! I'm happy to hear that you were pleased with everything and loved our venue! It's people like you that make my job so rewarding. Wishing you and Justin a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Best wedding venue ever!

    We were just married at Audubon House this past weekend. I must say, the photos do not do this place justice. This venue is absolutely beautiful! The garden is filled with amazing flowers, which makes decorating so simple. You really do not need to add much to the already lush gardens. The back drop for the ceremony, which is the house, was absolutely perfect! The staff is so friendly, kind, and attentive. Laura was so nice and helpful with the planning process. I must add, the lanterns they have throughout the garden are more than enough to light up at night and help to create that romantic feel. You don’t need to spend the money on the string lights if you don’t want to. I would highly recommend Audubon as your wedding venue for both your ceremony and reception.

    Beautiful Amazing Property!

    We had just our ceremony at this location and it was absolutely perfect! We had the location reserved for an hour and was a perfect amount of time. The Event Coordinator onsite was extremely easy to work with and very helpful planning from far away. The property itself is extremely beautiful and in a really great location. I'd highly recommend getting married at this location.

    Tropical Paradise Wedding

    Wow, that's the first thing I need to say about working with the team at Audubon House. Laura, my day of coordinator, works at Audubon House and gave me such great tips and advice, and because I was DIYing a big part of it, she helped me make budget friendly but still classy decisions. I really don't know what I'd do without her! She was happy to answer all my questions, was even helpful calming me down about my weather anxiety! I had 83 guests and it was the PERFECT number, not crammed, everyone had room to dance freely and most of the vendors I used already know the garden so it was a breeze to have them set up in the space. She loves the garden, respects it, and made sure all my wedding decor and layout worked perfectly on the grounds. It is SUCH an amazing venue, I'm sorry to say that I would pick it over and over again, it had so much more to offer than other venues in Key West. To any future bride, trust them and pick a theme that includes the garden and doesn't try to overshadow it, that's the beauty of historical landmarks and nature. Once again, thank you so much Laura and Audubon House, we had the best time of our lives.

    Gorgeous!!

    Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. I planned my wedding from 1200 miles away and picked Audubon House sight unseen. Working with Laura made me confident it was the right place to have our wedding. She was attentive and on top of everything. Audubon House is truly the most beautiful place in Key West to have a wedding. The pictures don’t do it justice. Our guest can’t stop telling us how perfect our wedding was.

    The Audubon House is beautiful and was the perfect place for our wedding! The house is gorgeous and the gardens are stunning!

    Tropical Dream Wedding

    The Audubon House was one of the first venues that I found online, and honestly, was the initial driving factor for having our wedding in Key West. We had both our ceremony and reception at the Audubon House and it could not have been more beautiful! We were also able to simplify things by having minimalist decor given that the garden is so beautiful by itself. This venue has only a few requirements for vendors (all of which are very reasonable) so we had the freedom to be creative. We were also able to go to the bars immediately after the reception given that the Audubon House is just right off of Duval. We had so many compliments from our guests that were blown away by the beauty of this venue. I can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else!

    I cannot compliment Laura, Jackie, and the Audubon House staff enough. Planning a wedding 1200 miles away is very intimidating but Laura was on top of everything. We exchanged numerous emails and phone calls and Laura never made me feel any question was trivial. The venue is beautiful and they definitely know what they are doing. I would highly recommend this vendor.

    It was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I love the outdoors and this was just yhe place to get married. Everyone was so impressed on how beautiful it was, with all the trees and plants. It was absolutely stunning and the Audubon House topped it off. Definitely would recommend to anyone. We loved it! The staff was wonderful and helped make the day special.

    The Audubon House was such a wonderful venue to have our wedding! The team was super helpful with finding local vendors when we were booking from very afar. I can’t say enough about how beautiful this garden is as a venue. All of the greenery and the gorgeous house have made our photos look like a professional prepared photoshoot. Having such a lovely venue helped our wedding day look as magical as it felt.

    I could not have been happier with the Audubon House as our venue! It is so beautiful you need MINIMAL décor to make this place look like a million bucks. Working with Laura was amazing - she was our day of coordinator as well. The groups are beautiful, the set-up is perfect, and it feels extremely intimate even though it is on a busier street.

    You have to bring everything in, but it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was. Laura coordinated with all of the vendors on logistics, so that made things a lot easier on me. Being able to bring in our own booze and just pay our caterer for bartending services was a huge plus - we were able to offer really top shelf liquor and wine for a fraction of the price you pay for an open bar through a caterer.

    We had about 70 guests at 7 tables of 10 and it was the perfect fit in the front garden area - the layout of the property was perfect for this size group, but I know they can do bigger.

    Laura and John were both amazing! Laura helped plan the intimate (like just the 2 of us) wedding of our dreams. It was so easy to work with her when setting up the event. The venue pricing was extremely reasonable and they were happy to work with us on timing as the museum closed. John met us the day of and stayed late to help us. He suggested great spots for pictures and helped us choose the ceremony location. The wedding couldn't have been more perfect! We can't wait to go back to KW and the Audubon House.

    We had our wedding at the Audubon House in December 2016 and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Laura was SOO helpful, accommodating and responsive! She let us rearrange the entire place and worked with us through everything! The Audubon House is pet friendly so we were able to have our dog there almost the entire time. Also, the property is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I was in love with it the moment I saw it and I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful location for our wedding. Definitely recommend the Audubon House!!!!

    Kelly,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful 5.0 review! We were thrilled to hear that you and Scott loved the property so much. You did an amazing job with your décor, so I'm not surprised that everything looked spectacular! It's always fun when not only your family and friends can attend and be part of your wedding day, but when your beloved dog can be included in the ceremony, that's special too. All the best to you and Scott:)! ~ Laura Mckenna
