How to compare your options
List the couple, officiant, photographer and any assistants before allocating the remaining elopement places to guests. A tiny audience can still exceed a ten-person total. If guests are staying in Old Town, request transport quotes using the actual Stock Island address and the contracted finish time; keeping the ceremony and dinner close together may simplify the schedule more than a small rental saving.

Questions for your Key West venue

- What time is included for vendors versus guests?
- Is our reception a separate booking and fee?
Ask for one written total
Have the venue separate rent, required services, food and beverage minimums, service charges, tax and deposits. Confirm which payments reduce the final balance and which are extra. Request the cancellation, weather and overtime terms with the quote.
If coordination is included or required, compare its scope with a wedding coordinator or day-of coordinator before hiring additional help.
