We came down to Key West for the week and hadn't originally planned to visit the museum. However,…read moreseveral friends recommended it, so we decided to go. I'm glad we did. The most striking thing, and something others have noted, is how low key everything feels. The structure, furnishings, and grounds are modest and very much middle class in character. Compared to how government operates today, the accommodations felt surprisingly austere. The exhibits and tour provide a fairly balanced view of Truman's presidency during that time. He seemed to have a more relaxed approach to the executive branch, often trading formal suits and ties for khakis and Hawaiian shirts. There are also reprints of newspaper clippings and political cartoons that don't always portray him or his administration in a positive light. To me, that made the experience feel more authentic, especially compared to the highly polished and carefully branded narratives often associated with modern political figures. Definitely worth the visit.

From 1946 through 1952, President Harry Truman used this house as his winter vacation home, and…read morebecause he spent 175 days of his presidency here, it became known as the Little White House. Originally built by the U.S. Navy in 1890, the Little White House served as naval command headquarters during the Spanish-American War, and also played roles in both World Wars and the Cold War. Since Truman's days, many other presidents have also vacationed here, including Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Today, the Little White House has been restored and turned into a museum. Also, don't forget to check the famous limousine while you are there. The only way to see inside the Truman Little White House in Key West is via a guided tour. But there is a small section near the gift shop that is free for visitors.

From start to finish working with Mark & Morgan was an absolute pleasure. They were extremely thorough in regards to getting to know us, and what our vision was for our wedding film. We are obsessed with ALL of our videos (Trailer, Highlights, Extended Highlights, and Archive of the Entire Day) and we find ourselves sharing them with anyone and everyone.... We just took a ski trip to Vail and we showed it to the guy sitting next to us on the plane, the people on our shuttle to the hotel, the staff at the hotel, a few people at happy hour... we can't stop sharing our videos! We ended up with a few new Facebook friends since some of the people we met wanted to watch all the videos we posted! If you are reading this review and want to see exactly what we are talking about, head over to Mark Pierson's website and watch the videos of Brooke and Matthew from 11/17/2019. We can't say enough great things about our experience, the footage we received, the people at MJP films, the reasonable cost, their punctuality, response to our vision, etc. We get to re-live the magic of our wedding day every time we watch our films. We are incredibly grateful and we will cherish the memories we made and the footage we have of our day forever. -Brooke & Matt

A few minutes into my initial meeting with Lona, I knew that she was going to be my photographer. All I wanted from my wedding is for my guests to be happy, and to have amazing pictures. She fulfilled every wish I had that day. I got a sneak peek of my pictures today. The pictures turned out so well, that here, less than 24 hours after seeing them, I had to write a review. Lona is so relaxed and doesn't make you feel like you're posing. She is just incredibly talented. The photos are simple and breathtaking from start to finish. Outstanding work. She really made my day that much more special. I now have incredible pictures that will hold better memories than my mind can ever recreate. We would highly recommend her to anybody!

We could not imagine better looking wedding photos! Betty and Vitalii were incredible to work with,…read moredelivered on every request, didn't miss a moment from our day, and edited the photos beautifully. We couldn't be more grateful for the beautiful album we received, and we will cherish our photos forever. Our friends and family are obsessed with our photos too, and we have been receiving non-stop compliments since we posted them to our social media. It took 3 hours to try and put together a Facebook album because we didn't want to overshare, and we ended up still sharing 500 because we had the hardest time eliminating! There is not a single photo we dislike, so we shared the entire 700+ album link with our family and wedding party. Please do not hesitate to book Lavryk for your special day, they did a phenomenal job, and we couldn't be happier with the results. -Brooke & Matthew

Located in Mallory Square for the Sunset Celebration, this caricature artist makes fast,…read moregreat-looking artwork. The prices on-site are cheaper than listed on the website ($20 per person for a color portrait; I forget how much it was for black and white), and the artist, Terry Riley, was super friendly. I got a caricature taken with my girlfriend, and he was able to get everything done extremely fast. The scenery around the pictures is fun, and it looks like he always tries to incorporate the feeling of Key West somewhere into the portraits, whether it's a sign or the Southernmost Point marker. One downside: the characters don't really look too much like us (you can't expect much more with caricatures, I think), but it really could be a picture of two random people - not us. That being said, the overall experience was great. If you're heading to the Sunset Celebration, I'd definitely suggest stopping by his stand and getting a caricature done.
