About weddings in Key Largo
Key Largo lets you get married underwater. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park runs ceremonies at the Christ of the Abyss statue, a bronze figure standing on the reef floor in about 25 feet of water, and couples genuinely do it in scuba gear. There is nowhere else in America you can do that. Above the surface there's Bungalows Key Largo, Baker's Cay and Playa Largo for resort and sunset bayfront weddings. It's the first island in the Keys, an hour from Homestead, all hardwood hammock and mangrove and narrow coral-sand beach. No ballrooms, no golf. A venue costs about $11,660, food is $127 a head, and an open bar adds $55. A 120-guest wedding runs about $47,800, which is nearly $4,000 under Key West further down the chain.
