I found Aaron thru Yelp only 3 weeks prior to our wedding in March 2019. We had a cruise booked to celebrate our 21st anniversary together and decided last minute to get legally married on the beach. The cruise ship's 1st stop was Key West (Celebrity Edge - highly recommend that boat!). We've never been to Key West & didn't know how to make things happen. Just wanted a simple ceremony on the beach with our friends that we were on the cruise with. Aaron helped us get the marriage license 1st thing in the morning at city hall (took 30 - 40 min), then met us at Smathers Beach for the ceremony. His words were carefully chosen, there was a calmness to the entire ceremony where I was able to fully focus on my husband and be in the moment. If I could compare his voice to someone's you might remember - the late, great, radio host from American Top 40, Casey Kasem. Aaron also had a terrific photographer booked who exceeded our expectations (Tony Gregory). He did some directing with photos to get the essential wedding shots, but some of the best pics were taken when he was quietly in the background and catching our moments as they were happening naturally. Afterwards Aaron got us into a fantastic restaurant on the water for lunch - Louie's Backyard - food and champagne were top notch. Then back on the boat we went and our cruise continued for the next 6 days. It's a small island, he's been there for a long time and knows everyone needed to make things happen smoothly. I appreciate Aaron & thank him for making our day special and about us. Jeff & Karl Montana - NYC read more

I can't say enough about Aaron and how he handled every detail of our simple elopement marriage on Smather's Beach, Key West. Since we first communicated by email, he gave me every detail I needed to have to make it the most stress free, romantic, fateful day of my life! I was able to order my marriage certificate ahead of time online based on the recommendation by Aaron rather than doing it the day of at the town hall. Leading up until the date of the ceremony, he not only contacted me by email but also by phone. He is a very courteous and friendly yet professional man who takes pride and happiness in what he does. The flower bouquet and boutonniere were included and we got to choose the arrangement. We were also provided a wonderful photographer to take up to an hour of photos. As for the ceremony itself, I never expected to feel so emotional during the actual ceremony. His words were profound and deep. He made us feel a spirit around us and the vows he gave us to exchange to one another were sincere and beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Aaron's Key West Weddings for your own wedding! Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions! read more

When my husband & I decided on an April wedding in Key West, we are so beyond pleased we contacted Aaron. From day 1, Aaron was extremely responsive answering all of our questions leading up to our big day. We planned on having an intimate wedding on the beach and Aaron exceeded all of our expectations. He made the entire process so relaxed and stress free. It was a pleasure meeting Aaron the day prior to our ceremony as he explained to us what to expect & the procedures of the ceremony. The day of, my bouquet & groom's boutonnière arrived to our hotel, Aaron even checked in to be sure they were received. He continued to update us up until the point when we arrived to Smathers Beach. Aaron's voice and words were perfect! Although there were a few other people on the beach, we truly felt like we were the only ones there wrapped up in the moment. Our photographer did a fantastic job as well! He took his time to capture our special day and had us take shots from different angles with the gorgeous beach scenery. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work! Thank you Aaron for making our wedding the perfect day for us! read more

After three years of planning for a big wedding, my now husband and I decided to change our entire plan and elope in Key West where we got engaged. We wanted to skip all the stress and have a beautiful, intimate, effortless ceremony where we could really be present with each other in the moment and focus on the true meaning of the day. And thanks to Aaron, that is exactly what we got! I contacted him about two months before our trip, and he helped us arrange a private ceremony at the Ernest Hemingway Home. He secured the photographer, who was also amazing, by the way! He met with us the day before to go over the ceremony in detail and make sure we were comfortable with everything. We got married on a Sunday afternoon in a quiet corner of the gardens on the property. It was easy and stress free. It was beautiful and romantic. It was truly a day for us. Everything turned out absolutely perfect, and I would do again exactly this way in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Aaron for a fantastic experience and memories of our special day that we will treasure forever! read more

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with Aaron officiating our Key West wedding. During our phone consult, he asked engaging questions about our relationship and told us his approach for performing ceremonies. However, he was open to modifications in his approach as my husband and I requested a change in the order of his officiating speech which he accommodated. On the day of our wedding, we were grateful that he took our answers into account in selecting the beautiful words he spoke about our relationship. In addition, we found Aaron to be calming as he guided us through our ceremony, and extremely professional from our initial phone call to the day of our ceremony. We also appreciated that the on the first business day after our wedding, Aaron took our Florida marriage license to the courthouse (one less wedding planning detail we had to worry about)! I strongly recommend Aaron to any couple, gay or straight, marrying in Key West! read more

We had an great experience from start to finish with Aaron. Anytime I needed to call or email with questions or to review details of the ceremony, he was quick to respond as well as very informative. Being we are from out of state, we came to Key West for our destination wedding. Aaron met with us two days before the wedding to rehearse over everything as well. He was very professional the entire time. And very familiar with the lay out. He even thought to have my husband and I switch sides on the beach based off of which direction the wind was blowing so my hair wouldn't blow in my face and ruin the moment and pictures. He went Above and beyond paying attention to each detail. We got our marriage license and handed it over to Aaron and he took it from there. We were told our marriage license was to be mailed to us and it came in the mail just like he said in a timely manner. I can't thank him enough! read more

We are very confident we made the right choice in selecting Aaron as our wedding officiant and could not be more pleased with the ceremony he directed and the entire process. After finding Aaron online, we met with him in person a couple months before our wedding. He spent a little time to get to know us and find out what we wanted in a ceremony. Our ceremony was held on a catamaran sailboat and Aaron was the first to arrive on the day of the ceremony. Everything about the ceremony was perfect. A couple of our guests commented afterward that Aaron's ceremony was the best they have attended. The bonus for us was he made the entire process simple and seamless. As a side note, when we were looking for officiants, there did not seem to be many online reviews for same sex weddings. For same sex couples looking for an officiant, you can be confident you will have a fantastic ceremony with Aaron. read more

Aaron officiated our wedding last weekend at the Southernmost Beach Resort. We can't say enough about how happy we are with his services. First, he was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process. He promptly responded to all my emails and questions. I felt so at peace because he remained so calm and patient throughout. He met up with my husband and I in advance to talk us through all our options and get to know us a bit better. My husband and I really didn't know what we wanted and he guided us through the process, incorporating all our interests and questions. Then, he planned and executed a beautiful ceremony. I received so many positive comments from my guests about how well it all went. I highly recommend Aaron for his calm, patient nature and his beautiful presentation style! read more

We got married at Sunrise on Smathers Beech, Key west in Sept 2018 From the moment we contacted Aaron, he was extremely helpful and would respond with any questions we had promptly. This made our elopement marriage, stress free and overall I couldn't fault any of the services. The flowers we ordered through our package with Aaron were delivered to our hotel room the day before, they looked beautiful. Just a shame we couldn't transport them home to the UK. The photographer was really good, and helpful. Getting some excellent shots, plus we had the photos sent to us via email with no name print on them the same day for us to download and print as we like. I would definitely recommend Aaron's Key West Wedding's it was faultless and was really nice. Thank you very much Aaron. Ben & Rachael. read more

When you try to plan a wedding from out of town with people you've never met, it's a bit scary. Thank God I booked Aaron. He was absolutely everything that I could have hoped for. He always responded immediately to any emails that I sent, gave me tips on the island, was completely professional without being stuffy, walked us through everything we would do the day before, and his vows were perfect.

Aaron did an absolutely beautiful job officiating our ceremony, and he helped us coordinate many other details of our wedding day. From choosing the flowers to booking the violinist to recommending the bakery for our wedding cake, Aaron guided us through every step. From our first phone call, it was clear that Aaron is an experienced officiant and he grounded us in his expertise. We planned our wedding from out of state, so it really helped to have Aaron's advice to rely on during the planning process. The ceremony he wrote was perfect, and he was very accommodating when we decided at the last minute to incorporate our own vows and other personal touches. I'm so grateful to Aaron for all he did to make our wedding day exactly what we wanted. read more

Aaron was really amazing. My fiance, Jen, and I decided to elope rather last minute and chose Aaron based on his great reviews and wonderful website. Aaron made the process so easy and walked us through every step in the process from obtaining the marriage license, picking out and receiving the bouquet and boutonniere, and our location on the beach. He chose a truly beautiful area of the beach. The bouquet was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Aaron also has two amazing photographers, Tony and Mandy. They are incredible photographers and our wedding photos turned out even more beautiful than we thought possible. I would highly recommend Aaron. He is a truly great person and wonderful at what he does. read more

Aaron did a wonderful job of combining our personal wishes and his vow renewal services. Our 40th anniversary renewal ceremony was beautiful, meaningful and creative. We incorporated live music, readings, and our own vows and Aaron was open to it all. He had wonderful suggestions as well. His voice is mesmerizing and his delivery of the vows was serious without a hint of condescensoon, or preachiness. The setting on Smathers Beach was beautiful as well. I just wish the wind hadn't been so blustery. It was very romantic, but my hair! The photographer did a nice job as well. He was friendly and supportive. I highly recommend Aaron for a wedding or vow renewal. read more

We eloped on 6/25/25 at sunset on the sunset terrace. We would highly recommend Aaron. We loved Aaron from the first conversation we had months ago to meeting him in person the day before. He is professional, courteous, organized, and very easy to communicate with. He is Quick to respond with any concerns or issues. He also is Upfront about costs and you will never feel pressured to do anything we did not want to do. We spoke with many other companies when picking an officiant for our small elopement and felt no one actually listened to what we wanted. Thank you again Arron for marrying us and making our little elopement feel so special to us! Kim & Mike read more

We decided to celebrate our 15th anniversary by renewing our vows in a simple ceremony on the beach in Key West. Our anniversary is also New Year's Eve which is a very busy time in Key West. However, Aaron was able to make it happen for us. Not only did he meet with us prior to the ceremony to go over everything, but he also drove us to and from the location. He was very professional throughout the whole process! What really blew us away was his powerful words during the ceremony. He absolutely chose the best words to describe our feelings and made it seem so special. If you choose Aaron for your special day, you will not be disappointed! read more

We were so happy to have chosen Aaron to perform our ceremony services last week. Leading up to the wedding, Aaron and I had only communicated via email, and he was always very responsive, kind, and informative. We only met him in person a couple days before our wedding. Upon meeting him, we knew he was perfect. His calm demeanor was reassuring during a stressful time. We didn't have a wedding party, so there was no formal rehearsal. He took the time to do a quick run through of what to expect. The ceremony service (non-religious) was beautiful. I would highly recommend Aaron for anyone in the Key West area! read more

From the time of our first contact to the goodbyes following the ceremony, Aaron was responsive, accommodating and attentive. My husband and I decided three weeks prior to our wedding to get married during an already planned trip to Key West so I needed things to come together fast. In the planning stage, Aaron answered all my questions and addressed any concerns quickly and thoroughly. He made the process so easy and comfortable and the ceremony was perfect. Everything, including the pictures from his chosen photographer, turned out beautiful! We are so glad we chose Aaron to be a part of our special day! read more
