The planning process was a luxury experience from start to finish. Mary is poised, connected, sophisticated and highly experienced. My wedding week presented a number of challenges due to weather. Mary and Brenda went above and beyond what I ever expected to provide me with a fool-proof alternative for my wedding day. Not only did Mary ensure the success of our wedding day, but she gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to enjoy the days leading up to my wedding day, which was invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Island Style Weddings for anyone looking to plan a five star event. Please feel free to message if you are considering Island Style Weddings. I would be happy to provide further details about my experience.

Her wedding packages made it really easy to see what different options you had in wedding locations, transportation, flowers, photography, videographer, and of course special touches to add to the ceremony. Her website was very helpful! She puts out all of the important information you need in applying for the marriage license to simple reminders about sunscreen to avoid funny tan lines. Mary really did do it all! From helping us choose our wedding location - flowers - transportation for us and all of our guests - photos - being our Officiate. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner!

Also the planets were in perfect alignment 12.11.21 (LITERALLY)! How cool is that? Invited 118 people, 75 RSVPd, 45 came! They say only 30% show to a destination wedding. So how much does it cost to have a destination wedding? We didn't have any rich family members to fund our wedding, so we planned and saved accordingly. Our initial budget was 20k we spent about 30k. I used the knot budget planning app. Those figures include our outfits, honeymoon, flights,transportation, yacht party. Premium dinner & Premium open bar. Photography, videographers, and floral. Ceremony & Recepption Villa Norbu is to die for. We toured the island a year prior and fell so in love we canceled all of tours. Unfortunately, if you have a later wedding it gets dark and you can't see the true magic of it for that long. The food was top notch and so was the staff. We had lamb & lobster among other things. Our ceremony was at lindquist beach. In December while still in the 80s it's their winter so you will see some seaweed. It was also a little windy which helped us stay cool in the heat. Island Bliss Weddings Review Great communication with Janelle & Scotts officiating was top notch! He weaved our story together beautifully. I cry every time I play the video (you can watch them on my IG @TherapyWithAsh I didn't realize we didn't pay for Janelle to coordinate until it was too late. Our wedding coordinator for the day didn't seem to be comfortable with our group. Idk if they didn't like giving directions or what? But no one knew what to do ...and then the coordinator would come to me confused. I asked if they told our guest what to do, they looked at me dumbfounded, and then I or my husband would give a direction and it was done. I didn't understand why they couldn't just talk to our guest and give directions! I.E. after the ceremony everyone was supposed to go to the cocktail party. The bridal party stayed behind for beach photos. But the guest never left and the transportation waited. The wedding coordinator simply had to tell them to get on the bus. But instead the wedding coordinator came to me and I had to direct people to get on the bus and go! Same thing before the ceremony. No one was sitting down and the wedding coordinator came to us and we had to pass the message for people to sit down. I was pulled in every direction. Literally being pulled: from the wind; to take this photo; do this; do that; and I never knew how chaotic a wedding would be! I did enjoy sitting down to eat and listening to speeches! We used DJ Dell his rates were the best on island. But he messed up some transitions and needed reminders. I think he was tired that day to be honest cause I met him on zoom THREE times! He legit forgot to play the song my husband was supposed to walk down to then remembered. Overall I'm happy we did it!

I found Misty Winter Photography by googling Real Estate Photographers & Architectural Design…read morehoping to find someone with an artistic eye for capturing the beauty of the surroundings as well as the subjects - this was for our wedding on St Thomas USVI, and WOW, Misty did not disappoint !!!! St Thomas provided her the perfect backdrop to unleash her creative talents. Our photographs exploded the with the vibrant colors from Caribbean, the island's living artifacts, the natural habitation, and my personal favorite she incorporated ancient ruins. Misty exudes professionalisms and patiences, after all we're not models, or millennials. She carefully orchestrated every detail of the shot, including taming my flying hair, to ensure the photographs were complete. I totally recommend Misty Winter Photography for all your events in life worth capturing in storybook detail.

Our wedding…read morewas more beautiful and memorable than we could ever have imagined, and so much of it was thanks to her! We are originally from the midwest, and most of our planning happened remotely, over the phone and through email. Amber was incredibly professional and responsive throughout, even during the birth of her baby! And not only that - she made wedding planning fun! We looked forward to our calls with her and she did a great job actually listening to what we wanted and then executing it. The vendor connections that Amber has are top-tier, and her attention to detail - down to our cute paper straws - made the day feel uniquely us. And it was extremely organized - Amber made it so that all we needed to do was show up. We didn't have to worry about a single day-of element because she had it handled. If you are considering a wedding in the Virgin Islands, I highly recommend Blue Sky Ceremony.

My wedding was in June this year in St. John and Stacy was our wedding planner. She is the BEST!!!!…read moreStacy is wonderful and did an absolutely amazing job. She was quick with the emails, follow-ups, and even called and greeted us on the island when we arrived. She made sure we were taken care of. She set my hair and make-up appointments up with two local beauty salons. Both of the ladies came in time to our villa and did an outstanding job. From the beginning to the end, Stacy was on top everything, including consultation, hair and make up, bouquet, aisle runner, permits, photographer, private car, and cake. My husband and I highly recommend Stacy to any couple who wants to get married in USVI. She is a remarkable wedding planner!!!

I want to start by saying that Nick is undoubtedly talented. During our wedding day and our boat…read moreday, he was absolutely great to work with. He has a way of making everyone feel so comfortable, almost like he was just another member of the family celebrating with us. We were happy with most of the wedding photos and the work he did on the boat day was wonderful. However, the professional experience following the wedding was incredibly stressful. We got married in August, and despite his website advertising a 30-45 day turnaround for wedding imagery, we did not receive all of our photos/video until the end of March. The most frustrating part was the total lack of communication. For months, we reached out at least two or three times every month via emails, calls, and messages, most of which went completely unanswered. It reached a point where Nick actually blocked me on both Instagram and Facebook while he still owed us our wedding footage. I only finally received a response after I commented on a public photo he posted. Ironically, that response came on the same day he was meeting with our wedding planner for a different event, which did not feel like a coincidence. Beyond the delay, there are pieces of our day we will never get back. We have no video footage of our first dance or any of the speeches made. Because we hired a professional videographer, we specifically asked our guests not to record those moments, so those memories are now unfortunately lost to us. Additionally, the two canvas prints included in the package we paid for were never delivered. I take responsibility for not realizing there was no specific timeline written into our contract, but I completely understand that creative projects can take longer than expected. However, the lack of updates and the decision to block a paying client is deeply unprofessional. I have since learned that I am not the first bride to have this experience with him, and I am sharing this so that no one else has to deal with this kind of unnecessary stress surrounding their wedding memories.

I saw the other negative review and was shocked because this was NOTHING like our experience. If you sign any contract with any wedding planner it's common practice that the deposit is non-refundable. No changes were made to our contract throughout the process.
