Key West – Havana Beach Wedding with Luncheon or Dinner Package
Ray and Eileen were wonderful to work with. People were great, the decor was beautiful, and our wedding went off without a hitch. In short, the day turned out better than I had hoped for. We upgraded to the Key West Havana Luncheon package and are glad we did. El Siboney is a local favorite for a reason and our family has not stopped talking about the food. They offered a variety of menu choices which met the needs of everyone in our group. Nobody left hungry! Highly recommended if you’re thinking of upgrading your package. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
How much more easy and stress free can it get??
We have had so many couples ask us for a “dinner” reception and now we have one! A taste of old Key West with it’s Cuban influence is available for your DINNER or LUNCHEON reception at the world famous El Siboney restaurant, a locals favorite for over 30 years. We will transport your group from their accommodations or cruise ship to your beach wedding location, then on to your reception. After 2 hours we will pick up your group and bring you back to your starting point. How easy can it get? (Package price is based on 20 people BUT, you can add more if you’d like, at an additional cost.)

ABOUT THE RESTAURANT:
El Siboney is a family owned and operated restaurant, proudly serving Florida’s lower Keys community since 1984.
El Siboney changed owners in 2004 and is now owned and operated by the de la Cruz family along with many of the same employees that have helped make El Siboney the popular destination that is remains today. We are proud of the recognition that our restaurant has received including Key West’s Best Cuban Restaurant every year since 1993. But most of all, we are proud that so many locals and visitors have had a rewarding experience at our restaurant.
We are committed to upholding El Siboney’s reputation as Key West’s top restaurant for authentic Cuban food, Paella, and local seafood. We hope you enjoy the food, the service, and the friendly atmosphere that our customers have come to expect at our restaurant.
ABOUT THE CUISINE:
The cuisine of Cuba quickly became part of Key West’s food heritage when Cuban families began to settle on the island in the 1860’s. The food served in Key West homes and restaurants was excellent, but lacked the spice and zesty flavorings the Cubans brought with them. The seasoned, (but not spicy like Mexican), Cuban food was a welcome change. The special aromas, so much a part of old Key West and other Cuban communities are still here. The smell of the fragrant tobacco of fresh Cuban cigars pervades the air, mingling with that of pungent garlic, onions, Spanish olive oils and other mouth watering scents from the kitchen of El Siboney, a local family owned and operated restaurant proudly serving Key West’s locals and visitors since 1984.
