Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This welcoming, laid-back restaurant perched right on Florida Bay started as a family-owned fish market in 1948 and is now an icon in Islamorada. There's a reason this place has been around for over 75 years: the bay views, the docks, and the open-air setting make for a genuinely romantic backdrop that's hard to replicate anywhere else in the Keys.
  • Celebrate with your toes in the sand at Beach Side, a spacious beach area bordered by the sparkling waters of the Gulf. An adjacent pier makes a stunning spot for sunset photos or golden hour cocktails, as the sky is illuminated in cotton candy hues of pinks and oranges. On the second floor is Zane Grey Lounge, an inviting space perfect for intimate, breezy dinners—and offers an equally scenic backup in case of rain, an important perk that's rare in the area.
  • Fresh-caught seafood, vibrant tropical flavors, and classic American favorites are highlights of the diverse menu, which offers near-endless options for customization. You might start with a Caribbean raw bar, bursting with juicy stone crabs, fresh shrimp and oysters, and housemade sauces, and finish the evening with their famous key lime tart—in between, treat your guests to abundant hors d'oeuvres, buffet or plated dinners, and even a late night snack bar!

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Islamorada Fish Company, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Booking Islamorada Fish Company in Islamorada starts with a location fee that covers exclusive use of the Bridal Suite above Fisherman's Pier, your beach ceremony and full site setup: ceremony seating, dining tables, linens, a cake table and a reception table. Food and drinks are priced separately, with buffets at $40–45 per person and hosted bar packages from $11 per person per hour plus a $50 bar setup fee. A day-of coordinator is $750, and a service charge and 7.5% sales tax apply to everything, including the location fee.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Islamorada Fish Company, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, you can do both at Islamorada Fish Company. Ceremonies happen on the beach overlooking Florida Bay, and receptions can stay outdoors at Beach Side, a sand area with an adjacent pier for sunset photos that holds 120 people, or move upstairs to the second-floor Zane Grey Lounge, which holds 75. The Bridal Suite above Fisherman's Pier is yours for getting ready, with a view of the bay and beach.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Islamorada Fish Company or do we have to use yours?

Food and drinks at Islamorada Fish Company come from the restaurant's own kitchen and bar, and outside alcohol isn't allowed. The one exception is wine: you can bring your own with 30 days' notice and a $25 corkage fee per bottle. For other vendors, the team keeps a referral list of local pros, and any outside vendor needs to be disclosed 30 days before your event with proof of insurance. Weddings over 50 guests need a professional planner or the venue's $750 day-of coordinator.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Islamorada Fish Company, and is there a minimum?

At Islamorada Fish Company in Islamorada, plan on a location fee starting at $3,000, plus food and drinks priced per person. Buffets for 50 or more guests are $40 with two entrées or $45 with three, and plated entrées run $20–38 per person, from Pasta Primavera to Roasted Prime Rib. Hosted bars are $11 per person per hour for wine and beer, $13 with call spirits and $15 with premium spirits, plus a $50 bar setup fee. Extra time beyond your 4.5 hours is $250 per hour, and a day-of coordinator is $750. A service charge and 7.5% sales tax apply to everything, including the location fee. Your guest count is the biggest lever, since you're billed on your guaranteed count or actual attendance, whichever is greater.

How long do we get at Islamorada Fish Company, and when does the music have to stop?

Your event space at Islamorada Fish Company is reserved for 4.5 hours, and extra time is $250 per hour. Standard setup starts no more than two hours before your start time, and earlier decorating access, when available, costs 50% of the hourly rental rate. A music end time isn't published, though amplified music is allowed indoors and outdoors.

If it rains on our wedding day at Islamorada Fish Company, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

If the weather turns on your day at Islamorada Fish Company in Islamorada, your celebration moves indoors to the Zane Grey Lounge, the second-floor lounge that serves as the rain backup. Management makes the call, and it has to be made by noon on your wedding day, since the team can't prepare two setups at once. The Zane Grey Lounge holds 75 people, and the outdoor Beach Side space holds 120.
