Are you planning a wedding and finding the venues in your hometown to be old and stale? Does your heart sink when you hear, “Oh my friends got married there”? Do you want something memorable, unique and exciting for your special day? Then a destination wedding at the beautiful Hawk’s Cay Resort in the sunny Florida Keys may be for you. Your wedding could include a romantic ceremony on a secluded beach, an entertaining reception with dolphins jumping in the cove and also overlooking a salt water lagoon, all while on a stress-free vacation with your love. Need more convincing? These are my top 5 reasons to tie the knot at Hawk’s Cay:

  1. You can get married in a tropical paradise. Hawk’s Cay Resort is located on Duck Key, a secluded island off the southernmost tip of Florida not far from Key West, and they have everything you would expect from a tropical paradise. Picture secluded beaches, turquoise waters, palm trees, warm weather and sand between your toes. This stunning tropical paradise could be the backdrop for your ceremony and reception. Not only will you save on decorations -- who needs tissue paper wedding bells with palm trees and a picturesque sunset as scenery -- you will have an unforgettable wedding for both you and your guests. 
  2. The honeymoon will start early. You will be miles away from home, ready to celebrate, and the honeymoon will start as soon as you arrive at Hawk’s Cay. You can spend a day relaxing together at the onsite Calm Waters Spa, snorkel the living coral reefs, or spend time in your luxurious suite. Being immersed in what feels like your own island will give you plenty of time to focus on what is important, each other. 
  3. Less Stress. Seating charts, linen rentals, unexpected expenses – Does this list cause you stress? Then I have good news, Hawk’s Cay provides comprehensive wedding packages with personal wedding coordinators to make your planning as stress free as possible. The Hawk’s Cay wedding coordinators work exclusively for Hawk’s Cay and know every detail and option available to help you create the wedding of your dreams. Maybe you want to stick with the basics and select a package or maybe you want to customize and personally select every detail. Either way they will be able to assist. The coordinators also handle the details on your wedding day. They will be there to ensure vendors, photographers, and guests all arrive on time. All details are in their hands so you can simply enjoy your day.
  4. More time with your guests. Have you ever been to a wedding where you have 3-5 minutes of face time with the bride and then suddenly the event was over? At Hawk’s Cay you will be vacationing with your guests. They may just come a day or two before the ceremony. Some may even choose to stay for an entire week. Either way you will have more quality time with your guests. You could meet poolside for drinks or have a fine dining experience at the onsite restaurant, Alma. Maybe even enjoy a sunset cruise offered at the Hawk’s Cay Marina, or swim with dolphins at the onsite dolphin connection with your guests. You can have as much, or as little, time with your guests as you would like.
  5. Plenty for the kids to do. Need to drop your little one off for a few hours while you get ready? Is your maid of honor longing for a few hours alone? Does the flower girl want to play on a pirate ship before the big day? Weddings are family affairs and Hawk's Cay hasn't forgotten the little ones. Their recently refurbished kids club offers an endless array of kid-friendly happenings and their dedicated teen room has a space just for them. 
  6. It’s affordable. Are you thinking that tying the knot in paradise may be outside of your budget? I think you may be surprised. Hawk’s Cay offers fair packages for weddings of all sizes. While all weddings are an expense, I found Hawk’s Cay to be affordable and reasonably priced.
