The Flow of Your Fort Zach Wedding
One of the greatest joys of hosting your wedding at Fort Zachary Taylor is the incredible variety of stunning settings across the park:
- The Sunset Ceremony: Exchange vows right on the pristine beachfront sand or on top of the historic fort, where you'll overlook panoramic ocean views and catch some of the most legendary sunsets in Key West.
- The Cocktail Reception: Hosted atop the historic fort or shaded by the breezy tiki area next to the calming waves. Watch leisure boats cruise past as guests sip tropical cocktails and enjoy our Complimentary 2027 Cocktail Hour Grazing Spread (artisan cheeses, fresh tropical fruits, and island meats included with all 2027 bookings!).
- The Grand Dinner: Celebrate with dinner served right inside the fort's historic brick arches or on the lush green lawn under the starlit sky.
