WEDDINGS TO GO

KEY WEST™

877-WED-TO-GO

We are very much for real, and we perform weddings, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies…here in Key West and throughout the Florida Keys. We perform them….every single day…365 days a year…and most importantly….we perform them….one wedding…at a time. EVERY SINGLE WEDDING…is INDIVIDUAL, and every single wedding…is SPECIAL. We never book weddings close to each other….ever.

1) We are LICENSED with the City of Key West, Florida.

2) We are LICENSED with Monroe County, Florida

(Be sure to ask if anyone that you are even considering to do your wedding….is licensed. Better yet, ask for their license numbers. Unfortunately….many…..are not.)

3) We are well known at the Monroe County Court house, the people who issue all of the Marriage licenses.

4) We are members of the Key West Chamber of Commerce, the Key West Innkeepers Association and our sister company, Commitments To Go! Key West is a member of the Key West Business Guild.

***We recently had a bride from New Jersey call us in a panic on a Friday afternoon….just before boarding the plane to come here, telling us that the “wedding company” that she hired had just sent her a “one liner” email….telling her that “Something has come up…and we won’t be doing your wedding.” No phone call…no nothing. When the bride attempted to call them…..they got what she describes as……”the run around”. POOF!!!! NO WEDDING!

This is certainly NOT the norm here…but it can and does happen occasionally, unfortunately.

This…is where being LICENSED comes in. Just like anywhere else…..PROFESSIONALS…must be LICENSED with the City of Key West and with Monroe County. It makes a difference. Be very sure that you ask….to avoid disappointment.

YOUR WEDDING: It’s true, we perform lots of weddings. We have become extremely popular. Some of you might fear that we are too busy….and that you will be rushed. YOU WILL NEVER BE RUSHED. This is our personal guarantee…to you. (Just read all of our testimonials.)

Consider this:

1) From sunrise….to sunset….there are 13 daylight hours.

2) If we only perform 2 weddings….during that 13 hours, and there are 31 days in a month….that’s 62 weddings! If we only perform 3….that’s 93 weddings a month! That leaves 3 hours…..between each one! No rush.

3) We don’t “RENT” photographers, (whoever might be available). We ARE professional Photographers….with years and years of experience. Big difference.

We also work with two videographers who are professional…and reasonable. We also have an additional team that does weddings with us….on exceptionally busy days like Valentine’s Day.

All top professionals. All hand picked by us. All….very experienced.

4) We pre-schedule everything….when you book your wedding with us. Everything that we do for you logistically…is already done….when you arrive here. That’s why we tell you that “all you have to do is to show up at the beach….barefoot….and with your marriage license!” It’s true! SO easy…you might even feel guilty!

We want to sincerely thank all of our fantastic clients for making 2008 a truly amazing year! We appreciate you all, and really appreciate all of your positive emails to us. We’ve had lots of fun with you, and lots of laughs! We are the most thankful….for all of you.

LOCATIONS: Couples that come to Key West…..come here for a reason.

The beach. If they wanted to get married in some stuffy little 10 foot wide “closet” with a few chairs jammed into it, surrounded wall to wall by noisy shops…they could just stay at home, right? Right.

There are lots of great wedding locations here. We perform weddings…at all of them, and enjoy doing that…..BUT….we mostly perform weddings on the beach….because there are NO site fees. Many locations here charge to use their properties. The fees are usually reasonable, and certainly understandable as well…..just please be aware that those locations aren’t free.

We are happy to go anywhere here that you want to perform your wedding.

NO SURPRISES: We will never try to “UPSELL” you by offering you what’s called a “price leader” base package”…to get your attention, and then attempt to hit you with all kinds of “extras” or “beat you up” on the phone. OUR prices…are 100% all inclusive. We never use the words: “Starting at”. We feel that’s deceptive. What you see….is what you really get. We also try really hard to keep your prices down, by providing reliable, really good vendors on our website…..for you to choose from.

WE DON’T HIDE OUR PRICES: Just like with anything else, if someone refuses to show you their prices right up front: a) They’re going to try to “trap” you when you call into paying much more…..or b) They just charge much more to begin with, and don’t care.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER: 100% of your wedding photos, done by us, regardless of the package, are shot by a professional wedding photographer with years of experience, not just by somebody’s wife or husband that just bought a flashy new camera.

You’ve been waiting a long time for this moment…do you really want to trust your wedding photos…to an amateur?

PRINTS: Let’s face it, times have changed. It’s not 1964. You can now walk into any CVS, Kinko’s, Office Max etc., that all use expensive, super professional NORITSU digital professional photo processing equipment, and get the very same top quality prints….for a tiny 15 cents each. (That’s only $15.00……for 100 full size 4×6 matte prints!) This….is why we don’t offer prints. You’d be foolish to pay us…lots more money…..for 4×6’s.

WEDDING PHOTO ARCHIVES: Recently, a well known and very good Photographer’s home burned to the ground. She…went out of business, lost everything, and is still trying to recover from it. No fault of hers whatsoever, but many wedding photos were lost in the fire. Some of them, from very recently done weddings were gone as well, impossible to recover. No wedding memories.

That…..won’t ever happen to your wedding photos. We ARCHIVE every wedding that we do, electronically….and the images are stored in 3 separate locations. Should you ever lose your wedding disc containing your cherished wedding memories……just call us! We’ve got them, and we can make copies…..in minutes.

Because they’re stored in 3 separate locations…no matter what happens to one of these locations……the other 2 are still there. Your wedding images….are safe.

As long as Weddings to Go Key West is in business…..you’ll be in business!

BUT…WHAT IF YOU’RE SICK OR SOMETHING ON MY WEDDING DAY???

NO problem. We plan for that. We have DUPLICATES…..of EVERYTHING…including STAFF! We have duplicate Photographers and Officiants available at all times. We have exact duplicate camera set-ups ready to go, even duplicate Vans for your transportation, duplicate computers…..duplicate…EVERYTHING. Think about that…while you are making your decision about who will be performing YOUR wedding. It’s a very serious and BIG consideration.

Background MUSIC: You WON’T…hear it. It’s that simple. You must remember that although the thought of romantic “background music” may seem nice in your mind’s eye, in reality….it’s highly impractical…..on a wide open beach. We used to offer it. We stopped. At best, the music comes from some $89 “boom box”. Think about it. How good can it sound?

Even if you crank it right up, your music will sound highly distorted at best, and lousy.

We’ve witnessed too many bride’s faces, (including our own), turn from smile….to frown…..when they finally realized how bad that “$89 boom box” sounds on a beach, (and we used a $200 system!), along with all of the other extrinsic noise around from the palms, other people, the road, planes….etc.

A live performer will provide much clearer sound and a far better presentation for your wedding. If you want background music we strongly suggest a live performer.

We never do any print advertising. It costs money, which creates overhead…..that ”somebody”….eventually must pay for. You and I both know that “somebody”….will eventually be you. It increases costs….which, in turn….must increase your costs.

Our unbelieveable success has come only, and directly from one place……YOU! Word of mouth. We thank you for all of your referrals!!

We focus on keeping your wedding day SIMPLE. We really do provide STRESS FREE weddings. (Just ask any of our married couples. Just read all of our feedback. The most commonly used term by you…..is SIMPLE.)

“DAY OF” COORDINATION: You selected a BEACH wedding….for a reason. You selected Key West as a wedding destination….for a reason. SIMPLE…is that reason. Think about it. Why…on earth….would you need a “rehearsal” ?

Isn’t that….one of those things that you really don’t want??? All of that formality? Isn’t that….what you left back home?

IF you really feel that you need a rehearsal…for a beach wedding….let us know. We are happy to go over everything with you…..free.

We have never believed in trying to “trick” you by only putting a few “doctored”, heavily “Photoshopped” photos on our website for you to see. We put ALL of our photos there…..for you to see. 100% We have never had to shoot “hundreds” of photos just to provide you with a handfull of good ones. Each shot counts, and they’re all good.

FREE TRANSPORTATION: Not tightly squeezed into the too small, totally uncomfortable “mini” back seat of some tiny, mini station wagon, or some old, beat up used car… but in the large, comfortable, spacious seats of our brand new climate controlled Honda Odyssey luxury vans. You won’t be wrinkled when you arrive.

We offer this service on all of our packages. Please…if you don’t have transportation, simply tell us when you book your date. That’s all that we ask. We must schedule our “wedding mobiles”. Not telling us until you arrive here…..never works. We don’t want you upset. Again….PLEASE! If you will need transportation….book it when you book your wedding!

But….for YOUR wedding day,

do you really want a cheap imitation…..

or the original?

As long as Weddings to Go Key West is in business…..you’ll be in business!

WEATHER: What if it rains??? Good question! Key West is located in the “SUB-TROPICS” . The weather here is very different than Miami’s weather just four hours north of us. Remember, you are getting married OUTSIDE…on a beach!

USUALLY when it rains here:

a.) it lasts a very short time, not all day

b.) USUALLY…the sun comes right back out, everything dries up, and it’s not an issue

BUT…sometimes it might be really pouring and there is thunder and lightning and heavy wind, or that is the forecast for your wedding time.

Here are your options then:

We simply re-schedule your wedding to:

a.) the same time on the following day or…

b.) re-schedule for a “drier” time the same day or…

c.) perform your wedding at the place whre you are staying, under cover, in the rain…provided they will allow it.

SO…PLEASE DO NOT plan your wedding day at the “end” of your stay here when you and /or your guests have to leave the following day. Plan it for the beginning of your stay….leave yourself a buffer for re-scheduling…if needed! That way you won’t be disappointed.

BUT…WHAT IF YOU’RE SICK OR SOMETHING ON MY WEDDING DAY???

NO problem. We plan for that. We have DUPLICATES…..of EVERYTHING…including STAFF! We have duplicate Photographers and Officiants available at all times. We have exact duplicate camera set-ups ready to go, even duplicate Vans for your transportation, duplicate computers…..duplicate…EVERYTHING. Think about that…while you are making your decision about who will be performing YOUR wedding. It’s a very serious and BIG consideration.

Remember: Many try to imitate us.

But….for YOUR wedding day,

do you really want a cheezy imitation…..

or the original?
