Key West Wedding Testimonials

“My fiance John and I visited the Lighthouse Court on June 6-7th. We researched your Inn’s on line because we were looking for a place to hold our upcoming wedding. Our research led us to the Lighthouse Court and the Hemingway Suite there; it’s across the street from the Hemingway House.  After looking online we wanted to see the place and get the vibe in person.

“We were not disappointed! From our first impression of the grounds to meeting with the staff, everything was great. We had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Denice Suriner. She helped us visualize our ideas, provided us with local contacts and helped us with our guest accommodations. She is definitely a bonus and you are lucky to have her on your staff!

“We are planning our Key West wedding in October  and we are booking the Hemingway Suite for us as well as bringing 18 of our friends with us! They are all staying at the Lighthouse Court as well.

“We look forward to our upcoming wedding and spending time at your lovely resort ”

-Michelle O’Neill and John Powers

“I just wanted to send a quick thank you to you and your staff for making our stay in the Merlin Guesthouse a memorable time. You all were extremely accommodating and patient with us and all our requests.  I hope it wasn’t too trying for you.  Everything turned out beautifully and we all had a wonderful time, in spite of the tremendous heat, which no one had any control over. Thank you again! We will be sure to contact you when we plan to stay in Key West again.”

-Shelley and Paul Calandra

” We really just can’t thank you and your staff at the Lighthouse Court for everything; from the pre-planning of rooms for the wedding, to the reservations, to the actual visit.  This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Lighthouse and it will continue to be the place that we come back to when we visit Key West.  This time, obviously being there for a week in September for our wedding, is our best stay yet! I have to say we had the option to stay at the Hyatt where the actual wedding was – however we chose the Lighthouse Court because we knew it was clean, accommodating, and really what Key West is all about for us. We had 50 people staying there for at least 4 days and not one of them had any complaints…that’s impressive. We have even had people come up to us after the wedding and the reception and tell us they were glad that we were all staying at the Lighthouse because the Hyatt was nice, but the Lighthouse is like nothing other.  I mean, really, who can beat being a block off Duval, of course a prime location for Key West nightlife, waking up every morning with a spectacular view of the Hemingway Key West home and the Lighthouse, 4 blocks from the Southernmost Point; it really doesn’t get much better.  So again, we thank you, and look forward to staying with you again soon.”

” Thank you ALL so much for a wonderful wedding weekend! Our guests loved the Merlin Guesthouse; it was a great environment for our entire group and we loved having the hotel to ourselves!

Thank you SO MUCH, Denice, for taking the time to show us as many rooms as you did. We really appreciate all of your help in planning all the details for our very special event. Please say hi to Jordan the big, funny house cat and to all the staff, especially Kate, who helped make our stay so memorable!!”

“Our wedding on 12/10/10 was just beautiful! We would recommend any event at the Historic Key West Inns in Key West, Florida. The event planner, Denice Suriner, I spoke with over the phone before our major event made me feel confidant that she was able to make our wedding special and she live up to our expectations. She had every detail in place from the officiant, photographer, beautiful bouquet, and gazebo.  If you are looking for a place to get married or renew your wedding vows, this is the place.
