The Key West Garden Club at West Martello Tower is truly one of the most magical wedding venues in Key West. As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing multiple weddings here, and each time I’m reminded why this location is so special.
The lush gardens, historic brick arches, and oceanfront views create the perfect blend of tropical elegance and old Key West charm. Every corner offers stunning backdrops, from vibrant blooms to peaceful shaded walkways – an absolute dream for photos!
The intimate, romantic atmosphere makes it ideal for couples who want a unique, picturesque setting for their ceremony and reception. Sunset weddings here are particularly breathtaking, as the golden light filters through the gardens and reflects off the water.
The staff is always accommodating and wonderful to work with, ensuring that each wedding runs smoothly. I highly recommend the Key West Garden Club to any couple looking for a beautiful, serene, and unforgettable place to say “I do.”

Seriously, you need to go to this garden, and when you do go leave a donation. It is so amazingly beautiful! I think out of all the parts and paid activities I did while in key west, this was one of the most beautiful places! Leave a donation!
The staff are exceptionally welcoming!
Stopped here with the family and had a great time. It’s a nice way to pass some time, especially if you enjoy taking a leisurely stroll through beautiful gardens. The grounds are really cool and relaxing. I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
