Coconut Cove Resort & Marina

had a fantastic wedding at coconut cove. my husband and i went and previewed the location, put a deposit down and went one other time during the year. everything was done via email and Paul and Magda couldn't have been more accommodating then they were. it was so nice to be able to communicate and not feel bad if i wanted to change anything up until two weeks before the wedding. will be recommending this resort for years to come!

I can truly say having my wedding at Coconut Cove was the best idea ever! If you’re not sure well let me tell you how AWESOME our experience was! From day 1 Paul and Magda made the planning process as easy as possible (the questionnaire was a life saver!) and the whole event was only limited by my imagination! Paul, Magda and the whole Coconut Cove team went into action. Paul was on top of all the pre-planning and Magda was my go to person the weekend of the wedding. They took my idea and made it into a dream come true. We had just about all our guest stay at the resort for the weekend and I highly suggest anyone having their wedding at the resort do the same! Together we saw the resort transformed from an awesome keys resort to my dream wedding within hours. The wedding and reception were so much more that I could have imagine. The coconut cove team was on point and ready to do whatever was needed to make sure the night went without any problems and they did an awesome job!!

They take the stress out all your wedding planning needs. All you have to do is tell them what you want and they will make your dreams come true. We booked their entire resort for a couple days during the wedding and truly enjoyed ourselves on Island Time. Paul and Magda were by our sides through the whole day assistaning us with any needs, they are truly one of a kind. I would recommend them over anyone else. SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!

Paul and Magda provided us a totally "stress-free" wedding!! Talk about having the world at your fingertips!! Scott and I had seen about 15 different sites in the Keys, and all the other places had strict "do-not" lists or were so out of our budget it wasn't even funny. Coconut Cove had EVERYTHING we wanted, and if they didn't, they knew someone who could provide it. I strongly suggest booking the resort (20 rooms) so you can have full run of the facilities without disturbing other guests. The food, bar, decorations, photos (sunset wedding is a MUST...great pics done by Magda who knows all the spots), officiant (Paul rocks!!!), DJ, flowers, make-up/hair, everything was top notch!!! They have book that you can look through to customize everything and a check-list to make sure you get what you want.

The only downside I experienced (call me practical), was the "Honeymoon suite". Don't get me wrong, the bathroom is BEAUTIFUL, however it is a huge tub with a short hose shower (you have to squat to shower... kinda had to shave your legs for the big night) with no curtain... can we say goosebumps? The staff provided us left-overs in the mini fridge (cause who can eat at your own wedding??) but didn't leave a note to let us know. Also, get with your bridesmaids to ask them to prepare the suite for the wedding night, because that was overlooked... Last thing you want is to do as a new bride is clean up all the stuff you threw around the room from getting ready for your big day...

My husband and I had an inimate wedding ceremony and spent the majority of our honeymoon at Coconut Cove. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The setting was beautiful and family oriented for my guests. Paul provided a personalized and memorable wedding ceremony. The flowers and photography by Magda were personal and gorgeous. Paul and Magda went above and beyond to help us make our day easy and unforgettable. Patti, the resort manager, worked hard to make our few guests feel like they were at home. I cant say enough nice things about our services and I would refer to Coconut Cove for a wedding or vacation in general. We plan to return to remember our special time and visit with our new friends in the future!

Believe everything you read about Coconut Cove. My experience was a fabulous one!! They made my day perfect!!!

I had always wanted a laid back destination wedding whenever I got married. Calling other venues in the Keys almost made me change my mind, until I spoke with Paul! He is so organized and easy to deal with! I never saw the venue before the week of the wedding. Through numerous emails and phone calls, Paul and Magda planned my dream wedding! Every detail was perfect! I keep replaying the night through my head, it was so magnificent I would not change one thing! Paul assured me everything was planned exactly how I wanted it, but it was so easy I couldn't believe it! They are so professional, yet still feel like family when you leave. Magda is like superwoman! She will make sure you have everything you want done perfectly throughout your whole stay, take amazing wedding pictures, and just about anything else you could possibly think of! The setting is probably the best in the Keys! You feel like you are in paradise! I didn't want to leave, and we will definitely return in the future!!

Paul and Magda created a wedding for us that was more beautiful and fun than we'd ever imagined. So many of our relatives commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

AWESOME!!!
We highly recommend them for your wedding.
Our pictures were absolutely beautiful.
Paul and his wife were the best.
Easy to work with, very friendly and professional.

We had the most amazing wedding at coconut cove resort. Magda and Paul were amazing at making this wedding planning so stress free. Everything was all written up for us, the only thing we had to do was sit down and make the choices. Everything was provided there, every detail was outlined perfectly. I had absolutely everything laid out for me. Flowers, DJ, photography, officient, you name it, they were prepared. I would recommend anyone doing a beach destination to have it here. By far the most amazing wedding and most compliments from family and friends. No bridezilla or groomzilla needed here. No stress. And they work with you on a budget so you can have a beautiful wedding at low cost. By far more amazing than I even dreamed.

We chose Coconut Cove as our destination wedding venue because of the privacy it afforded us and all of our friends. The resort is not open to the public, so we were able to have the place all to ourselves since we rented all 20 rooms for the weekend. It is probably the closest thing you could get to renting a private villa. The only real staff are the owners, reception and caretakers - other than that you're basically on your own, and the party never stops! We all stocked the huge Tiki Bar 2 nights before the reception so our guests didn't have to pay $8 a drink like at some other resorts while lounging around their fabulous pool. Of course our actual wedding reception was catered, and the food was fantastic! They recommended an awesome dj, and the owners Paul and Magda officiated the ceremony and did all the flowers and photography - it could not have been any easier to plan since it's basically a "one stop shop." All around a great experience. Many of our friends said it was the best wedding they've ever been to!

We were very pleased with how our wedding turned out, everything was perfect. All of our guests rant and rave that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.

Coconut Cove gave us an amazing wedding day!! They provided a high standard of professionalism and services personalized to us with a warm feeling as if we were old friends. I highly recommend having the family rent out the full property for the weekend and enjoying the local activities a few days before and after the wedding. The flowers, photos, food, decorations, and delicious cake all were above our expectations. The rehearsal dinner added another night to spend personal time with loved ones also highly recommended. Thank you Magda and Paul for the beat wedding we have ever been to :-)

Coconut Cove would be the place I would have my wedding again and again and again.... It went by so fast and was so amazing that we are glad we had the whole resort for our family and friends for almost 5 days! If you need a destination wedding idea, this would be it....the weather, scenery and complete wedding planning provided by Paul and Magda could not be repeated anywhere else. I looked at 20 different venues in the Keys since my family has vacationed there for over 15 years and I wanted to have my close family and friends experience the true Keys atmosphere. Magda and Paul provided me with complete confidence that they could do everything and actually care more than anyone else since they are a family run business. Our local friends raved about the wedding and reception and that says alot as there are alot to choose from. I wasn't impressed with many other venues since most of those people don't own the business and thus do not care as much as Paul and Magda do. It was extremely easy to plan from 1000 miles away because Coconut Cove provides everything! Ceremony, Photography, Flowers, DJ, Video, Hair, Make-up, Catering, 5 Star Bar and FIREWORKS! The fireworks were a last minute add for us and it was worth the small investment for a lifetime of memories. Our pictures and video are amazing and the food and entire resort was perfection. We can't thank you enough for hosting our family and friends for 3-5 days of a wonderful vacation. We will definitely be visiting you next spring to say Hello! Thank you for making our wedding as beautiful and stress free !

Paul and Magda and their whole team did the most wonderful job with our wedding. They were so amazing and did the best job with our wedding. We could have never planned a more perfect wedding! Everyone keeps complimenting the ceremony, the food, the bar, the view, the decorations, and of course the fireworks! It was such an amazing wedding and they did everything that I had asked. They listened to what I wanted and didn't want. They really tried to get to know me and figure out how to make our wedding as special as possible. We cannot be more thankful for everything! We are so lucky to have had our wedding here and to have all of the wonderful memories that they helped create for us on our special day! Thank you all so much!!!!

Months later, friends and family are still talking about what a great time they had, and how beautiful our daughter's wedding turned out. Coconut Cove Resort & Marina is the most beautiful and (most important) private setting. All of the hard work planning every last detail perfectly was done by Magda! The table settings/decorations were perfect, right down to the cute salt/pepper shakers. The flowers by Magda were just beautiful and the bouquets very unique (they lasted almost two weeks!). Food was outstanding and the catering staff was very professional & kind (making special plates for late arrivals). The key lime wedding cake from Bob's Bunz was the best I've ever had - everyone was raving about it! Magda is also a very talented photographer, providing us with beautiful memories we can look back on for years and years. The wedding party and some of our guests also stayed at their hotel and made a mini vacation out of the weekend. They had such a good time that I am sure they will visit Paul and Magda again. Needless to say, we highly recommend Coconut Cove Resort & Marina to anyone looking to have the most memorable beach wedding!

Having a destination wedding at a location I have never seen nor know anyone that has ever seen made me a little nervous, not going to lie, but it was my dream to get married on the beach and I was willing to take that chance... I am SOOOOO GLAD I DID!!!
I had called a couple other resorts in the Florida keys to get quotes for our wedding, some told us that they don't do weddings in march due to spring breakers and others took weeks to get back to us. My now husband was helping me look since I was getting fustrated about finding the perfect place that was affordable and classy, not to mention they would actually get back to me in a timly matter. (not all of us are on island time :) )
He came across the Coconut Cove Website and asked me if I called them. I thought what the heck why not... BEST CALL I HAVE EVER MADE!!!
Paul and Magda where awesome. When i called or emailed with any question big or small they got back to me in less then 24 hrs. When we got there they took such good care of us... the resort was ours.
We stayed at the resort for 7 days and each and everyday Paul and Magda and thier staff made sure we were taken care of the entire time! I know we would have not gotten this kind of treatment at any other resort.
Then there was the wedding... i could have never dreamed that it would have been as spectacular as it was. They had every detail down, from the awesome amazing flowers (which all i did was send a couple pictures to Magda and she did the rest) to the table decore to they way they set up the guest book table and seating arangements. The food, I will go back and bring my 57 guest so that we can just enjoy the fantastic food!

Paul and Magda and thier staff truly allowed us to have a worry stress free wedding. Truly amazing!!! Everyone had an awesome and 2 weeks later Im still getting facebook messages on how awesome the...

Paul and Magda REALLY know what they're doing! They are the BEST!! My wedding was beyond my wildest dreams!! Beautiful venue, flowers, decorations, and great food!! My guests had a blast! I can really say we have no complaints!! If you want a stress free wedding experience in paradise go with Magda and Paul at Coconut Cove Resort and Marina!

I can't explain how PERFECT our wedding was. They got every detail and handled everything with grace and elegance. The food was out of the world! The presentation was first class.
I don't believe people whem they say they will deliver prefection, but you can count on them!!!!

What a jerk. Beautiful location, great sales pitch. Not treated like a valued guest and after spend $30,000 for a "dream wedding" I was left feeling disappointed. Over promised, under preformed.. Once you are there, you are left alone. What i would have given for a proper event cordinator. Someone to give direction and keep the wedding on track. Paul is not a nice person. Basically, sold a promise of "stress free" and given a crying bride and a quite car ride home. Oh, and the first night we had to ask Magda to clean up the used condoms all around the property. I didn't what my dog to eat them.... that's the truth..

LOVED IT!!! Was beyond our dreams... I highly recommend getting the fireworks. Paul and Magda will feel like family at the end of it all. Our guests had a blast! They all say they've never been to wedding even close to ours. It was absolutely wonderful!! I wouldn't change a thing.

Paul, Magda, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that our wedding was the very best. I'm not sure how they did it, but they even got the weather to cooperate and we had beautiful evening ceremony :-) The location was beautiful. The comments that we have received in regards to the pictures that were taken by Magda is that they look like postcards. We would strongly recommend this location to anyone that is looking for a memorable beach wedding.

You can not go wrong here! Coconut Cove is by far a one stop dream wedding local. Magda, Paul, and their incredible staff take care of you as if you are one of the family. They want nothing more than to make you happy and make sure that you get everything that you want. Everything was absolutely incredible (the flowers, the food, the drinks, fireworks, pictures, etc.) I could go on and on about all the "little things" that they did to make it such an amazing day. If you are looking for typical this is not the place for you, but if you want yourselves and your guests to have memories that will last a life time, this is definitely the place. Don't hesitate, it will definitely live up to the expectations of a "dream wedding."

What can we say... Absoluteley the top of the line wedding.Completely our dream wedding. From the atmosphere to the food to the flowers>The surprise fireworks:)) Totally the best wedding ever.My guests were floored at all the special touches all around.The service, impeccable and we were treated like royalty. Did not want the evening to end! Thank you tremendously for a fabulous day!!

Absolutely amazing!! Paul, Magda, and staff made our wedding magical, wonderful and perfect in every way. From the day we met them they were professional, friendly, responsive and flexible. They handled virtually everything for us; ceremony, reception, officiant, flowers, music, food, photography, etc--exactly what we were looking for--and all handled in a way that allowed us to have exactly what we wanted. The answer to every one of our requests was always " we will do whatever you want that will make you happy". They promised a perfect wedding, one where our guests would say-- "this is the best wedding I have ever been to"--and many of them did! Weddings at Coconut Cove are not like a standard wedding in a catering hall that many of us have attended, they are a weekend party where people who have either not seen each other in a very long time or had never met prior bond, have fun, renew old friendships and establish new ones. Their staff is extremely hard working and attentive, nothing we needed or wanted was ever a problem, and they anticipated our needs well in advance of us even realizing we would need something!!! To sum up, never, ever have I been to such a wonderful wedding, and I'm so thankful it was mine!! Coconut Cove has our highest recommendation--there is absolutely no better place anywhere. Thank you everyone at Coconut Cove for making our wedding fantastic. --Karen & Andy

Indescribable and incredible!!! If you are looking the the most amazing, stress free, tropical wedding this is definitely the place! Paul, Magda and thier staff are more than accommodating. They are there every step of the way to make sure your wedding is flawless, exactly what you want, and most of all worry free! The food is to die for, the decorations are beautiful, and the flowers are breathtaking! Paul preforms a timeless, customized, intimate ceremony, I absolutely recommend Paul for your officiant. I had the time of my life, the wedding of my dreams, and the only thing I would change, is if I could have made it last forever!!!

The wedding of our dreams was a reality thanks to Paul & Magda at Coconut Cove, and their staff! It is hard to even begin to do justice to them with words... I think they may have outdone even our dream! They were there to calm, give suggestions or just listen. All my guests were just awed by the beauty of the site and the ceremony with all the personal touches! The only complaint of my guests, was that I didn't warn them how emotional it would all be (of course, I wasn't prepared for that either!) The emotions are still fresh in my memory as I type this... such love exudes from Paul & Magda, their family and their place - it was magical!! My friend who has been to MANY weddings said they think our's was the best one they've ever experienced!! My sister's fiance' is upset as he doesn't know how he can compete with it! We are so thankful & blessed to have found Paul & Magda, and Coconut Cove - it was really a once in a life time, dream come true wedding!!

Paul and Magda gave us the wedding of our dreams. They were both very professional and delivered everything that they promised for us. The site is very beautiful and our guests were wowed by the view. Paul created a ceremony that we will never forget. He included my husbands children and brought everyone to tears. The food was to die for. The photography by Magda and flowers were the best. I recommend this venue to all of you who want a tropical wedding with professional services.

Magda and Paul were great wedding planners. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted. The location was beautiful. I would recommend them to any bride searching for a wedding venue.

Our experience was completely stress-free. Our family and friends had a great time. I did not even have a chance to visit the venue prior to our event but could not have been more pleased. Everything is completely customizeable and the place was transformed for our special day. I would recommend going down a few days before your even so that you can enjoy the islands and relax. Magda did an amazing job with our flowers and was able to give me exactly what I had pictured without ever meeting me beforehand. The food was amazing but we wish we had left the food out longer as everyone was wanting seconds and thirds! Their menus are completely customizeable to meet everyones tastes and they were able to provide great direction on things that our guests might enjoy. Paul and Magda really take the time to get to know their brides and grooms and really make your day special. I would recommend a destination wedding at Coconut Cove to everyone.

It is amazing place and Paul and Magda make your wedding like a dream. Everything is very professional, but in friendly a stressless way. Thank you again Magda and Paul for our beautiful wedding. We recommend to everybody to do your wedding in Coconut Cove Resort & Marina.
Sincerely Petra a Miroslav

My close family and friends cannot stop talking about how amazing the wedding was every time I talk to them! If you are looking for a destination beach wedding, this is the place to go. Paul and Magda are two of the most caring, loving people you will ever meet. This is what they do, make dreams come true, and you can tell from talking to them that this is their calling in life. Thank you, Coconut Cove, you made our dreams come true!

If you are looking for the perfect beach wedding in Islamorada, this is tne place for you. Coconut Cove & Resort provided my husband and I as well as all of our family and friends with a beautiful vacation, perfect wedding, and executed the entire event from beginning to end FLAWLESSLY. I never would have expected it to be even more perfect than I had dreamed of. Paul & Magda really went out of their way to make sure we had exactly what we wanted, at a great price, and at a personal level you could never get at another venue. The fod was amazing, the resort was relaxing and most of our family and friends stayed at the resort with us the entire weekend. My husband and I still get compliments on how great our wedding was 6 months later. I cannot stress enough how incredible our stay was because Paul & Madga took care of everything from hotel room accomodations, to photography, to flowers, the DJ, food, and the ceremony. Coconut Cove is the best in the keys!

We got married here on 03/27/2010, and everything was just wonderful. Paul was extremely helpful in the pre-planning stages and the day of they made sure everything was executed exactly how I wanted it.

We got married on 2/6/10 and Paul and Magda were absolutely great. They exceeded our expectations and made everything perfect!! Even though I was told to expect something to go wrong on our big day, not a thing went wrong. The venue and the decor were perfect. Paul performed a beautiful ceremony and did everything he could to make sure this day was exactly what we wanted and it was. Magda did a fantastic job with the flowers and everything was gorgeous. I cannot help but say everything was perfect. If you want the wedding of your dreams and a perfect day, definitely go to Coconut Cove. Everyone keeps telling us that it was a "fairytale wedding" and the fireworks topped it all off. Thank you Paul and Magda!!! We will remember this day forever!

Coconut Cove Resort & Marina HIGHLY exceeded our expectations!!! We had the best wedding EVER!!! Our guests were so impressed with the venue and attention to detail. We danced our first dance on the beach with Paul's fireworks lighting up the night sky...it was the most memorable moment and it was fantastic!!! The food was delicious, the decor was perfect! We cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff. The location is perfect, the staff is wonderful and willing to do anything to make your day special. The owners, Paul and Magda, are two of the nicest, most giving, honest, and kind people we have ever known! They have become like family to us! We HIGHLY recommend this venue to everyone. We will DEFINITELY return to Coconut Cove for future events!

We are receiving wonderful words of praise on Eric and Michelle's wedding.
Every detail was attended to. It was so BEAUTIFUL...
THANK YOU, to Magda and Paul

My husband and I recently got married at Coconut Cove Resort and Marina and the wedding was absolutly amazing!!! The staff is exceptional and the place is beautiful! It was exactly everything I was wanting out of a beach wedding. Paul and Magda were wonderful. They took care of everything I needed or asked for. I didn't have to worry about a thing! The location was perfect, the cake was beautiful, the ceromony was sincere, and the photographs were georgeous! Everyone who came had a wonderful time and I wouldn't have changed a thing! If you're looking to have a destination wedding definitely check this place out!

Paul & Magda did a fantastic job at making our dreams come true. The entire planning process was stress free – we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and the photos by Magda turned out better than I could have ever dreamed.
Thank you Paul & Magda for giving us our dream wedding, and memories that will last a lifetime!

Everything was perfect from the preparations, setting, and friendly service to the food and fireworks! Everyone from Laurie at the front desk to the wedding day staff were so helpful and pleasant. We didn’t have to worry about anything which was great! This was the second wedding for both of us so we were thrilled that we didn’t have to put it all together… They supplied all the vendors! I was able to rely on Paul and Magda (owners/wedding planners) to ensure that our wedding day would be perfect and it was! And our parents were very impressed with all the festivities. My mom even cried over the fireworks!
I have included some comments we received from family and friends:
“Yours was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been too!” friend of bride
“The setting, your friends and your family really made for an enjoyable evening. Joy liked the fireworks” friend of groom
“I’ve never been to a wedding that had fireworks. This definitely puts yours at the top of best weddings” friend of the bride

Paul and Magda made our wedding day really beautiful yet relaxing! They are easy-going, romantic, and professional. A perfect wedding planning team! They did everything as we wanted. We have had a very special and unforgetable wedding because of them! Thank you, Paul and Magda.

A perfect wedding site and planning team! A+++

I have nothing but amazing comments about Coconut Cove and the owners, Paul & Magda Bates.... Everything on our wedding day went together so well, actually it was perfect; all due to the great experience of Paul, Magda, and their wonderful staff. The best part was just enjoying our fabulous event... we were able to relax and soak up every beautiful moment.
The staff turned the already paradise-like location into a gorgeous tropical wedding site.
The food was absolutely delicious; couldn't ask for a more beautiful & yummy cake too (Thanks to Bobs Bunz!)
Magda is a phenomenal photographer... she really used all elements of the resort to her advantage (and ultimately to our advantage) The pictures turned out amazing.
The steel drum player was terrific, as was the DJ... the dance floor was full all night!
It will be a day (actually weekend) we will never forget...
We highly recommend Coconut Cove Resort for your wedding ceremony & reception.

Paul and Magda are the owners of the resort. They handle EVERYTHING! I told them what I wanted and they did it!! It made planning so easy. They do photography and videography too. Many of my guests said it was the best wedding the had been to! Because the resort is smaller, my family and I and my friends had the entire place to ourselves! Definitely go for the fire works, they add something spectacular to the day!

Very responsive. Very easy to deal with. Did exactly what was promised. The ceremony exceeded our expectations. Thank you Paul and Magda!

We had our dream wedding at Coconut Cove Resort & Marina! The owners of the resort, Magda and Paul, helped with all the wedding planning and created a gorgeous and memorable wedding ceremony and reception! Magda did all our photography and the pictures have amazed all our friends! We used pink and orange flower arrangements and had a sunset ceremony that was unbelievable. We had our first dance to fireworks. The night was perfect!

This vendor provided every service we requested. The service was provided in a professional manor that exceed my expectations, which were high. My unique needs were met including specific requests for substitutions in catering choices. The fireworks were spectacular and were a wonderful addition to our wedding. All of the guest were impressed by every aspect of our wedding and had an amazing time. Magda's photos were great and the photo book she made us is a beautiful format for reminiscing. I was able to send in photos of what I wanted my flowers to look like and Magda did a fantastic job replicating them. Paul and Magda were a pleasure to work with and they made all our wedding dreams come true. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a intimate beach wedding!

I had a very short time to plan my wedding. Paul and Madga, the owners, are amazing people. My family was astonished I found such a breathtaking resort with such welcoming charm. Especially when we got a little wild the night before the ceremony.

Paul was very easy to work with, extremely helpful and gave me great ideas to have a breathtaking wedding on a budget. Paul's humor and upbeat personality made my wedding stress free!

Madga was brilliant in her flower arrangements and photographs. She captured the life of party. All the pictures were absolutely incredible. One particularly reveals true love between me and my son.

Coconut Cove will always be a treasure of the Keys! I will definitely come back to visit Paul & Madga!

We loved getting married at Coconut Cove! They really felt like part of our family while we were there, and we are so thankful for everything they did to make such a memorable wedding. Now a few years removed, guests who were there still tell us with sincerity that our wedding was "THE BEST WEDDING I’VE EVER BEEN TO".

Paul and Magda from Coconut Cove were outstanding!! It was a very relaxing evening and I wish we could do it all over again! Everyone still talks about our wedding and how it was the best they have ever been to. Very romantic and the fireworks stole the show!!

Coconut Cove is an amazing location and the owners are so great to work with. Their only goal is for you to have the wedding of your dreams!

We found Coconut Cove when my husband's sister got married there. The ceremony was exactly what we were hoping to create, so when we started thinking about our wedding, we called Paul and Magda. When the planning began, we thought that we simply wanted to hold the ceremony at Coconut Cove and have a dinner after the ceremony at another site. Paul helped us to design the ceremony and then suggested sites to hold the dinner. However, as we got farther into the planning process we changed our minds an decided to hold the reception at Coconut Cove as well. Paul and Magda were always accommodating of our changing plans. We could not have been happier with our wedding - it was essentially a 36 hour party with a wedding in the middle. All our guests arrived at Coconut Cove the evening the before the wedding, and we had a cook out on the beach and relaxed. In the morning, we all had coffee and pastries at the tiki bar and socialized on the beach and at the pool. We then got dressed for the wedding, and held the ceremony. After the ceremony we held the reception at Coconut Cove and it moved at the pace we wanted. After the reception our family and friends continued to socialize until they were ready to turn in for the night. The next morning, we saw everyone off after coffee and pastries at the tiki bar. The service, food and photography were excellent, and we and our guests all felt welcome and well cared for. A couple years after our wedding, two of our friends held their wedding at Coconut Cove in the same style that we had ours. Their families thanked us many times for inspiring the perfect wedding. Thank you to our Keys Family for the perfect wedding!

The Coconut Cove is my favorite place to have a wedding in Florida. The staff is so friendly, professional, and personable. The property is a paradise. Every bride is thrilled here.

Wow! What can I say about one of the most sought after wedding destinations in the Florida Keys. The ambiance of the resort, the staff, the food, the fireworks, the presentation from owner/ operator, Mr. Paul Bates and his "pay attention to every detail" way of making every guest feel like they have just attended the greatest wedding ever! We are very fortunate to be a part of every wedding at the Coconut Cove Resort.....where the only thing they overlook is the Ocean!!!!!!
