Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This dreamy Keys resort feels like your own private island escape, complete with swaying palms, turquoise waters, lush tropical foliage and colorful blooms, and serene waterfront beaches. Best of all, it’s moments from the area’s iconic places, including Bahia Honda State Park, Pigeon Key, and the Turtle Hospital.
  • Say your vows on the warm, white-sand beach, backed by the stunning sea and sky. There’s plenty of room to continue the party here, or join your guests for a reception in Breezeway Cove, a refreshingly modern space with glass doors that open onto the vibrant tropical gardens, or the Event Lawn, where golden hour sunshine cedes to glowing bistro lights and glittering stars.
  • Destination-friendly packages keep the planning process easy as key lime pie, covering planning support, coordination, and full setup, along with delicious island-inspired cuisine. Overnight guests will love the luxurious on-site spa (so will the wedding party!), pristine oceanfront pools and cabanas, indoor/outdoor movie room, and other fab amenities.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon offers destination wedding packages that cover planning support, coordination, full setup and island-inspired catering from the resort's chefs. A Marriott Certified Wedding Planner helps you with your budget, menu and table settings, and can source florists, photographers, bands and other entertainment for you. You'll pay a rental fee starting at $3,000 and meet a food and beverage minimum starting at $4,000, plus a 25% service charge and tax.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, you can do both at Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort. You can say your vows at sunset on The Beach at Faro Blanco, which has room for a tented dance floor and a fire pit. For the reception, you can choose from spaces like Parrish Lawn, which seats 250 for a banquet, Ocean's Edge Event Venue or Yacht Club Lawn, each seating 150, the Event Lawn with bistro lights and lawn games, or Breezeway Cove between the marina and tropical gardens for a smaller dinner of up to 50.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort or do we have to use yours?

Food and drinks stay in-house at Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, so your menu and bar come from the resort's culinary team, which serves island-inspired cuisine. For everything else, a Marriott Certified Wedding Planner can help you find florists, photographers, bands and other entertainment, and the resort can provide a PA system, microphones, event lighting, stack chairs and tables.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, and is there a minimum?

At Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon, plan on a rental fee starting at $3,000 plus a food and beverage minimum starting at $4,000, so your baseline is at least $7,000 before a 25% service charge and tax. Both the rental fee and the minimum move with the day of the week and your guest count. The package covers planning support, coordination, full setup and catering from the resort's chefs. Tax and service charge rates can change, so confirm them when you get your proposal.
