Vibrant Key West Destination Wedding at Ocean Key Resort
Jamileth and Garrett’s love story began in 2017 at a lively bar in Orlando, Florida. Garrett noticed Jamileth across the room, bought her a drink, and they ended up talking for hours. That night sparked a connection that led to years of adventure together… and the rest was history.
A Surprise Proposal in New Orleans
Garrett’s proposal was as unforgettable as their love story. He planned a “fake BBQ judging competition” weekend in New Orleans and booked a hotel by the river. That morning, he suggested testing their camera at the Riverwalk. Suddenly, a second line band appeared, followed by their family members. When Jamileth turned around, Garrett was down on one knee. Through tears and surprise, she asked, “Is it happening now?” to which he smiled and said, “Yes, Jams, it’s happening now”.
A Dream Destination Wedding in Key West
After six years together and living in over ten cities, the couple fulfilled their dream of a destination wedding in Key West at the breathtaking Ocean Key Resort & Spa. They wanted an island vibe without leaving the country, and Key West provided the perfect tropical backdrop.
Guests wore colorful formal attire to complement the sparkling ocean views, and the couple’s modern tropical wedding style was brought to life by WCO Events and Love in Bloom. The vibrant florals and bright, airy décor perfectly reflected the fun, celebratory atmosphere they envisioned.
Ocean Key Resort weddings are known for their stunning waterfront views, and Jamileth and Garrett’s day was no exception. With catering by Hot Tin Roof and music by DJ Popo, their “Finally, the Party!” reception became an unforgettable night of food, laughter, and nonstop dancing under the Key West sky.
Highlights and Meaningful Moments
One of the most unique parts of their wedding was that, after six years of marriage, this was the first time their families and friends were all together. Their heartfelt vows during the ceremony were incredibly meaningful—they had never spoken vows to each other before this day.
The reception quickly became the highlight, with incredible music, delicious food, and the kind of celebration they had always dreamed about. Jamileth and Garrett’s Key West wedding truly reflected their love: vibrant, joyful, and full of life.
