Audubon House & Tropical Gardens is a historic gem and museum in the heart of Key West. The grand home, built after the 1846 hurricane, commemorates John James Audubon's 1832 visit and displays his artwork alongside extensive family heirlooms. It is open daily for guided and self tours, with a small fee benefiting the upkeep of this lovely venue.
The space is also a stunning and absolutely gorgeous location for weddings and events. Many describe it as a perfect, hidden gem and private oasis with lush, beautiful tropical gardens that provide a lovely backdrop. The venue feels intimate and closed off, creating a dream setting. Staff are consistently noted as wonderful, kind, friendly, and fabulous to work with, contributing to a perfect day. Visitors love how Key West keeps such historic places alive, appreciating both the house itself and the beautiful pieces inside, including a beautiful surprise in the third-floor green room and a pleasant second-floor porch. It is an absolute dream and highly recommended.
It a beautiful three story home with a lot of interesting history! I'm really glad we stopped to see it, everyone found it well worth it!

I had the privilege of photographing a wedding at the Audubon House last March. It's a beautiful, fun backdrop for an intimate wedding and I can't wait to come back! The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful. If you're looking for a wedding venue in Key West, I highly recommend!
