Wedding transportation in Key West for destination weddings

Getting guests to the end of the road

Everyone rides down together, no rental cars.

A Key West wedding is almost always a destination wedding. Guests come from far away, and many fly into Miami International (MIA) or FLL, where there are more flights, then face the long drive down the Overseas Highway.

Ace can run that leg for them. A one way coach meets the guest block at MIA or FLL and brings everyone down to Key West together, so guests do not rent cars they will barely use on the island. At the end of the weekend, the same plan runs in reverse. For the one way transfer on its own, see Miami to Key West. Guests who fly straight into Key West International (EYW) are picked up at the airport too.

Shuttles on the island

One meeting point for each cluster.

Once guests arrive, they spread out. Key West weddings fill small guesthouses and inns in Old Town as well as larger resorts, and the ceremony may be on a beach, in a garden or on the waterfront.

The shuttle ties it together:

1. Guesthouses to the ceremonyFrom each cluster
2. Ceremony to receptionAfter the sunset ceremony
3. Late loops backTo the guesthouses after the party
4. Other daysA welcome evening or farewell brunch

Sunset ceremonies and island timing

The schedule follows the sun.

Many Key West couples plan the ceremony for sunset, so the shuttle schedule follows the sun. Give dispatch the time guests must be seated and the first run leaves early enough to make it.

Old Town lanes are narrow, parking is scarce and evening streets near Duval Street are crowded with people on foot. A minibus handles those streets better than a full size coach. Set one meeting corner for guests at small guesthouses without a front drive. For how Ace runs weddings elsewhere in the region, read Wedding Transportation.

Vehicle size for island and highway

Big coach for the highway, smaller for the island.

The two jobs may need different vehicles. The long run from MIA or FLL suits a full size motorcoach with luggage bays. The island loops suit something smaller.

A minibus for the couple and their party lets the sunset photos run long while the guests ride ahead.

Busy weeks and venue paperwork

In a busy week, book once the venue is set.

Winter is high season in Key West, and late October brings Fantasy Fest, when rooms and roads fill up. If your date falls in a busy week, book transportation as soon as the venue is confirmed.

Beach and waterfront venues often ask vendors for a certificate of insurance. Ace carries $5,000,000 liability coverage under USDOT 1310399 and sends one on request. Every Ace vehicle has GPS tracking, Wi-Fi and onboard cameras. Ace Tours Inc was incorporated in Florida in 1999, and the booking terms come on the written quote.
