WHITE GLOVE SERVICE
  • Your ceremony, performed by a licensed Florida Officiant.
  • We will perform one of many standard wedding vows, (slightly buffed up, of course), or we will recite vows that you come up with, (which is kind of nice, and even more personal).  Filing of your license included.  (Please, if you decide to write your own ceremony or vows, we need a copy of them at least 15 days before the event.)
  • Personal “Day Of” Coordinator: For your piece of mind, we’ll assign you a personal “Day Of” wedding coordinator to make sure that your day runs smoothly.  Your coordinator will contact all of your vendors to make sure that they know where to go and what time to be there.  You won’t need to worry about anything!!  Your job is to enjoy your day.
  • Beautiful hand-tied tropical bouquet and complimentary matching boutonniere: You may choose from one of 50 lovely bouquets with matching boutonniere or you may decide on a “designers choice” bouquet and boutonniere with your chosen colors.  All of our bouquets come from a highly respected Key West florist, not a local grocery store.  Disclaimer:  Due to availability, and quality, we may make substitutions with flowers, while trying to keep the same shape and feel of the original order.
  • Professional Photography: A combination of candid, causal and posed formal shots.  LOTS…of pictures!  Visit our “wedding albums” page by clicking HERE.    We don’t count…we just shoot what we see.  (If you require additional photography for your reception, etc., please give us a call to discuss your needs.  Additional hours are always available at great rates!)
  • Live  Musician: Your choice of one of many of Key West’s most popular performers.  Your musician will be there to greet your guests and play background music before, during and after your ceremony.  Your choice of steel drummer, guitarist or harpist.
  • Hair and Makeup:  Our professional hair and makeup artist will come to your hotel to make sure you look your best on your wedding day.
  • High Resolution CD of your wedding photos: The CD is NOT copyrighted.  That means that the pictures of you…are yours!  No need to pay us for prints.  You can make as many photos as you’d like for yourselves, family and friends from this disc.  We’ll mail the CD to your home, usually within 24 hours.
  • DVD Slideshow with Music: Play it at your reception on a DVD player or on a computer.  See a sample of the slideshow on our Video/ Slideshow page. We’ll send it along with your photo CD’s.
  • Parents CD Albums and DVD Slideshow: We will send 2 parent photo CD’s and 2 additional DVD Slideshows for your parents in addition to yours.  Great for holiday gift giving!
  • Your own Online Wedding Album: See our wedding albums online by clicking HERE. You may choose to have your album public or private.
  • BEACH DECOR: Wedding Arch with Arch Flowers to match your bouquet, up to 60 chairs included, white runner, conch shells lining runner, beach torches, delivery, set up and removal is included.
  • PHOTO ARCHIVES:  Recently, a well known and very good Keys Photgrapher’s home burned to the ground.  Unfortunately, she…went out of business, lost everything, and is still trying to recover from it.  No fault of hers whatsoever, but many wedding photos were lost in the fire.  Some of them, from very recently done weddings were gone as well, impossible to recover.  NO wedding memories.  That…won’t ever happen to your wedding photos.  We ARCHIVE every wedding that we do electronically, and the images are stored in 3 separate locations. Should you ever lose your wedding disc containing your cherished wedding memories…just call us!  We’ve got them, and we can make copies of the disc…in minutes!  Because they are stored in 3 separate locations…no matter what happens to one of these locations…the other 2 are still there.  Your wedding images…are safe.  As long as we’re in business…you’ll be in business!
  • Personalized copy of your wedding ceremony.
  • COURTESY TRANSPORTATION: for the bridal couple from your hotel or cruise ship to your wedding site and back.
***We are happy to provide you with absolutely free transportation, for our “all inclusive” packages, and for all cruise ship clients in our new climate controlled, comfortable “wedding mobile”.  To be fair to everyone…it must be scheduled.
*Please, if you need transportation, schedule it at the time you book your wedding, WE SCHEDULE EVERYTHING…in advance.  If you don’t book transportation…WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR WEDDING, we may NOT be able to accommodate last minute requests.
RENEWALS: For any couple we’ve married.  Any time you are coming back to visit us in Key West, just let us know.  We’ll renew your vows for the rest of your lives….for free!

Below, is a plea from http://www.brandonbitner.com; BRANDON is yet, another teen who felt ZERO opportunity or alternative to the bullying, homophobia and abuse he endured.  PLEASE take a moment to honor their instructions to the best of your ability.  Enough is ENOUGH!

THE LETTER:
Another bullied teenager committed suicide early Friday morning. Brandon Bitner, a 14 year old boy from Mount Pleasant Mills, PA, walked several miles from his home around 2am on Friday to a busy intersection and walked in front of a tractor trailer.
Brandon left a suicide note at his home and several audio recordings for his closest friends. His note was not full of resentment and hate, but of love and hope. Brandon explained in the note that he was constantly bullied at Midd West High School in Middleburg, PA, where he was a freshman. Bullies called Brandon gay, girly, fag, and geek. He stated in the note that a humiliating event in school this past week was the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”
In the first part of the note, Brandon made it clear that he does not want this outcome for anyone else in the world. He said he wants his family and friends to fight to bring awareness to the bullying issues in today’s society. He told his friends in the audio recording and in the note that he wants them to have fulfilled lives and the strength to follow their dreams. It is now up to us, the members of this society, to explore bullying further and start a strong, solid movement to prevent bullying and suicide.
Please use your strong voice to spread Brandon’s story to the people of the world. We can use Brandon’s story, and the story of the several other recent tragic bullying fueled suicides, to create bully and suicide awareness for people of all ages. Using hate tactics to destroy our peers is not acceptable and it will not be tolerated.
Brandon succumbed to his pain but left a clear message: everyone needs to learn from this, live their lives and follow their dreams.
Thank You,
[insert your name]
