Plan Your Keys Wedding From Off-Island | Free Guide

This week on the feed

5 things off-island couples don't think about until they're already on the Overseas Highway.

These are the recurring planning gaps that turn a Pinterest board into a 4 a.m. text thread.

The arch that won't fit in the Uber

You bought the 6-foot ceremony arch on Etsy. You shipped it. Now what? Where does it go when it arrives? Who anchors it in the sand?

The place cards vs. the ocean wind

You hand-addressed 80 place cards. They lasted nine minutes in the Keys breeze. Here's what survives outside and what doesn't.

The hotel ballroom doesn't take pallets

You shipped 30 boxes of décor to the hotel. The front desk is not a warehouse. The venue coordinator is not your setup crew.

The midnight packing tape

Last song. Cake's gone. Guests are in Ubers. And 14 centerpieces, 80 place cards, an arch, and a signage wall are waiting to be packed.

This is what we do.

Ship the décor to us. We receive, store, set up, anchor, and pack it back down. You show up for the ceremony, not the setup.

Common questions

FAQ

Is the guide really free?

Yes. No credit card and no email form. DM “KEYS” and we’ll send it.

Who is this for?

Couples planning a Florida Keys wedding from off-island. Especially: couples bringing their own DIY décor, couples without a full planner, couples who want a calm execution on the wedding day.

Will you keep messaging me?

No. We’ll send the guide and ask one relevant question. If you only want the guide, no explanation is needed.

Do you also do the setup?

Yes. Setup, storage, and breakdown are core Seaside Setups services. The guide shows how we think before you ever ask for a quote.

What if our wedding isn't in the Upper Keys?

Most of the planning checks apply throughout the Florida Keys. Service area and travel depend on the date and scope, so ask when you DM.
