Five-time Wedding Wire Couples Choice winner. Restaurant-quality food cooked on-site by the family behind La Trattoria. From Fort Zachary Taylor to Sunset Key, we’ve catered the weddings Key West guests still talk about.
A small, senior-led team. Real chefs in real on-site kitchens. Service staff who’ve worked these venues for years. We don’t do everything — we do the events that matter, and we do them better than anyone on the island.
The reason most couples find us. Custom menus, on-site cooking, full-service bar, professional staff, one point of contact tasting to last call.
Welcome dinners, rehearsal parties, milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, and the events the locals call us for.
Executive retreats, board dinners, conference catering, charter yacht service, brand activations. Discreet, professional, on-time.
Most Key West caterers are good. A few are great. The reason couples drive past three other companies to book us is rarely about price — it’s about how the night actually unfolds.
Our fully-equipped mobile kitchens cook fresh at the venue. Nothing reheated from a chafing dish. The food on your plate is identical to the food you tasted.
You won’t be handed off three times. The catering director answering your first email is the same person walking your venue with you the day before.
Fort Zachary Taylor, Key West Garden Club, Hemingway Home, Casa Marina, Sunset Key, Audubon House, Truman Annex, Smathers Beach. Timing, access, what each venue allows.
Catered Affairs grew out of La Trattoria, a Key West dining institution since 1982. The kitchen culture and service standards come from running real restaurants — not a banquet hall.
Severe peanut, tree-nut, and shellfish allergies are handled with cross-contamination protocols pulled directly from our restaurant kitchens. Vegan and gluten-free designed in, not bolted on.
Hire us for food only or as the operational backbone of the entire reception. Most couples choose the second. Fewer vendors, fewer surprises, fewer 11pm phone calls.
Three generations of Lays. A catering director who’s been running our weddings for over a decade. A captain team that’s worked Key West venues for years. The same people who answer your first email are on-site the day of your wedding.
Real venues. Real menus. Real numbers. We update this monthly — not a curated highlight reel from 2017.

We’ve worked every major Key West wedding venue and most private estates in the lower Keys.
“On the day of our wedding, everything was flawless. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the execution was seamless from start to finish. Our guests are still talking about it.”
“I’ve been to 36 weddings in 5 years. Catered Affairs surpassed our expectations and then some. If I had to do it again I’d use them every time.”
“As a bride with a severe peanut allergy I was nervous. Catered Affairs made sure there was zero cross-contamination and made me feel at ease.”
Key West wedding catering typically runs $125 to $275 per person all-in, depending on menu style, service level, bar package, and venue requirements. A full-service plated dinner with passed hors d’oeuvres, three-course meal, professional wait staff, bar, and rentals usually starts around $185 per person.
Yes — this is what our mobile kitchens are built for. We cook fresh on-site at every Key West wedding venue including Fort Zachary Taylor, Key West Garden Club, Hemingway Home, Audubon House, Casa Marina, Sunset Key, Smathers Beach, Higgs Beach, and Truman Annex.
Most Key West weddings book 9 to 14 months out. Saturday dates from October through April book first — for those, plan on 12+ months. Off-season dates (June–August) often have more flexibility and meaningful pricing differences.
Most of our weddings are destination weddings. We handle the entire process remotely — virtual planning calls, photo proofs, vendor coordination, contracts — with one in-person tasting at La Trattoria Oceanside when you visit Key West.
We accommodate all major dietary needs — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher-style, severe peanut/tree-nut/shellfish allergies. Our on-site mobile kitchen lets us control prep surfaces and prevent cross-contamination the way a restaurant does.
