Sunrise & Sunset Timetable
Timing is everything for a sunrise or sunset wedding!! Please be advised that depending on the number of people, weather conditions, etc., we will determine the best time to start your sunrise or sunset wedding. Most start 30-45 minutes before a sunset wedding and about 10 minutes before a sunrise wedding. During a sunrise wedding you may be rushed a bit for photos, that’s because the sun comes up very quickly and we only have a few minutes to capture those beautiful sunrise images!

Weather Policy - Please Read!
This policy does not apply to our Cruise Ship clients.
Because of the nature of our business, being primarily a beach destination venue, we understand the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. Hand in hand with preparation, our chief concern rests with the safety of our clients, their guests and our Weddings To Go staff and equipment.
We rely on the most up to date national weather forecasting data, as well as reports from several surrounding communication facilities right here in the Keys. We always err on the side of safety, by never trying to out - guess an approaching storm. In the Keys, there are sometimes pop up storms that are not detected by radar, meaning last minute decisions are called for.
If your wedding will be affected by an imminent weather event, please note that the following policies will be implemented at once:
You will be offered the option to reschedule to a date and/or timeline when Weddings To Go and it’s vendors can retain the full package options of your original contract.
If you do not have the flexibility to extend your stay for rescheduling, your original contract will be forfeited, WITHOUT REFUND of any deposits or final payments.
In the event that you prefer to move forward with the ceremony at the contracted date and time, and YOU can arrange through your hotel, guest house, rental house or reception site to allow an “officiate only” ceremony indoors on the premises, we will accommodate that request.
We will not provide any type of set up or décor indoors, on their premises.
In the event of a mandatory evacuation due to a hurricane, you will have the option of rescheduling your event with no penalty, with the exception of incidentals such as cake and flowers if they have already been prepared. We strongly suggest that you purchase “Wedding Insurance” to cover any expenses incurred due to postponement of your wedding.

Because you are only here “in port” for a few hours, we do make alternative plans for your wedding. You WILL leave Key West married …however, in regard to any and all beach decorations and set ups, we are not allowed to do set ups at private locations. You will have to forfeit those items if it rains, and we must move to an alternative site. There will be no refunds for decor in this scenario. In addition, our vendors will not work in the rain or get their equipment wet.
