Ibis Bay/Stoned Crab made my wedding a DREAM! We had 140 people come down from Boston and everyone thought this venue for a wedding was amazing. We were able to host everyone on the small beach for the ceremony, the cocktail hour on the front beach at the Stoned Crab with a boat that served a raw bar to our guests, we had the wedding by the pool with a bridge going across the pool as a dance floor, we had the Key Lime Pirates for a band, everyone danced all night! The food was perfection! Kate was very helpful with sending photos and answering all my questions from afar! I would highly recommend this venue for any event!

Kate and Tricia were fantastic!! Everything went smooth and extremely hassle free. Both Kate and Tricia went above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing. They surprised us the morning of with champagne and coffee (exactly what I needed) and the set up was beautiful. It really was a perfect day and I was very pleased with everything. I would highly recommend the Ibis Bay Resort for their wedding services, the location is remote and secluded, fantastic backdrop for photos, and extremely economical. Thank you to the entire staff, Kate and Tricia thank you so much for a wonderful day!!!
