Florida Keys Wedding Planning & Services

Selecting Your Date

In order to ensure your special date is available, we recommend you select it at least three months in advance. Please check with your Catering Manager to see if your preferred wedding date is available as we only accommodate one wedding per day and weekend.

Site Inspections

Site Inspections are available and must be scheduled with the Catering Manager in advance.

Deposit and Payment

In order to reserve your preferred wedding date we require a $2,500 non-refundable advance deposit. This deposit is in addition to the advance deposit required to reserve your beach houses. Group Bookings require a deposit of 50% of the total block at the time of booking and must be paid in full 60 days prior to arrival.

Service Charges and Taxes

All food, beverage and facility fees are subject to a 21% taxable service charge; as well as all applicable sales tax per Florida State Law.

Weather Policy for Outdoor Functions

In all cases Tranquility Bay reserves the right to make all final decisions if lightning storms or severe weather conditions are expected in the vicinity. Should there be a forecasted report of 30% or more chance of rain in the area, the scheduled function will take place in the designated back-up area. Temperatures below 60 degrees and/or wind gusts in excess of 20 mph shall also be cause to move the ceremony and reception indoors depending on the location of your event. This decision will be made by the resort no less than five (5) hours prior to the scheduled starting time of the ceremony and reception.
