Hidden Key Marina 786-877-4787

WEDDINGS & EVENTS

Hidden Key Marina is one of the Upper Florida Keys’ best-kept secrets for intimate, affordable waterfront weddings and events. Located just past the Monroe County line near MM112 in Key Largo, our small marina is tucked into the calm waters of Manatee Bay—offering old-school Florida charm without the crowds, resort pricing, or ballroom formality.

This is not a polished hotel venue. It’s a place where tiki torches replace chandeliers, palm trees sway instead of draped linens, and nature does most of the decorating. At dusk, our signature almond tree comes alive with lanterns and fairy lights, creating a naturally romantic setting that feels relaxed, personal, and effortlessly beautiful.

 

A Flexible Waterfront Event Space

Hidden Key Marina offers approximately 3,000 square feet of open-air waterfront space, making it ideal for:
  • Micro-weddings & elopements
  • Affordable Florida Keys destination weddings
  • Proposals & romantic dinners
  • Welcome parties & rehearsal gatherings
  • Private celebrations & creative events
The space is intentionally flexible, allowing planners and couples to design events that reflect their style—barefoot ceremonies by the water, boho lounge seating, food trucks parked dockside, or sunset cocktail receptions with boats gently drifting in the background.

Vintage Details You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

What truly sets Hidden Key Marina apart is its character. Our venue blends natural waterfront beauty with vintage, story-rich details that photograph beautifully and feel authentic to the Keys:
  • Two vintage yachts for unforgettable photo shoots or overnight stays
  • A vintage 1976 VW Westfalia camper bus / mobile tiki bar for cocktails, guest experiences, or styled shoots
  • Space for food trucks, live music, and relaxed lounge setups
  • A quiet marina backdrop that feels intimate, not commercial
This is a venue designed for couples who care more about atmosphere, connection, and good energy than traditional formalities.

Newly Upgraded Indoor Bar Space

To complement the outdoor waterfront setting, Hidden Key Marina now offers a newly upgraded indoor bar space—perfect for weather flexibility, evening gatherings, or events that want a true old-school Keys vibe. The bar features vintage dive posters, nautical décor, warm string lighting, a full-size pool table, and an iconic ship’s transom barthat feels pulled straight from a classic fishing vessel.
The space works beautifully as a dry bar, allowing hosts to bring in their own bartenders and caterers. It’s ideal for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, after-parties, and casual celebrations that lean more “Keysey” than curated. Guests naturally gravitate here—cue sticks in hand, drinks on the rail, stories flowing late into the night. Used on its own or paired with the outdoor waterfront area, the indoor bar adds versatility while preserving the relaxed, nostalgic spirit that defines Hidden Key Marina.
