Planning a Special Event in Key West, Florida?

Continue a great tradition of galas and celebrations dating back to 1832, and hold your event in the serene tropical gardens behind the Key West's Oldest House,  322 Duval Street.

This historic property has been the scene of many intimate weddings, lively garden receptions, elegant sit-down dinners for up to 250 people, and parties, large and small, to celebrate a variety of occasions.

The gardens are central to Old Town Key West's lodgings, churches, and guest services, but tucked away from the bustle of Duval Street. The spacious lawn and meandering brick paths offer endless possibilities for individual events. Tents can be rented from party rental companies in the Keys, if desired. The Oldest House can be opened upon request to add a unique historical perspective for your invited guests.
