A Dreamy Islamorada Wedding at Cheeca Lodge & Spa

Cocktails on the Dock, Dinner Under the Stars

This wedding was the definition of tropical chic. Planned perfectly by Alexa Kritis Events, the couple exchanged vows with the ocean behind them on the rooftop terrace at Nikai, followed by signature cocktails on the dock over the lagoon (yes, it’s just as dreamy as it sounds). Guests wandered between tiki torches before settling in for dinner beneath string lights on Spa Island where they listened to Matt Freedman play all night.

I’ve seen a lot of stunning venues, but there’s something truly special about this one.

Tucked between the turquoise waters of the Atlantic and lush island palms, Cheeca Lodge is a hidden gem that blends laid-back island charm with effortless elegance—perfect for couples wanting a destination wedding that feels like an escape. Whether you’re planning a small elopement or a larger wedding weekend, there’s space to make it feel like your own private island.

Even as a Floridian, Islamorada always makes me feel like I’m on vacation.

If you’re planning a wedding in the Florida Keys, our work is modern, editorial, and deeply rooted in storytelling—and a relaxed, island vibe is just our thing. We’d return anytime to this dreamy place.
