When planning your wedding, do you want someone who works with the hotel's best interest in mind or yours? Hotel planners are great people and they do a good job (I know, I was one!), but when it comes down to it - they are on the company payroll. Their job is to make sure you have a great time, but their bottom line is to make the hotel money.

When you hire an independent planner, you are hiring an advocate who's dedicated to making sure that your wedding is exactly what you want while staying within your budget. We'll let you know if there is a less expensive way to go, we'll bargain hunt for you, tell you what your alternatives are and offer innovative ideas. Additionally, there is often a high rate of turnover in the hospitality industry, particularly in the islands. The hotel planner you are working with simply may not be there when your wedding date rolls around.

Even with the best of intentions, small details can be missed when passing the baton to a new employee. So, if you are planning anything more than a very simple affair - consider hiring an independent planner who works for you!

Because we all know... nothing in life is truly free.

ABSOLUTELY! This is your wedding – you are the boss. We’ll guide you to the appropriate venues and service providers that fit within your budget.

We know that some brides (and grooms!) enjoy investigating all the new trends and design options, for others it's a chore.  For those
clients that want the full service treatment we offer custom design services.  We’re flexible so that we provide just the services you
require.

We sure can! We live here and have worked with most of them. Yet, we're always looking for new and unique spaces. Since we are here in the Virgin Islands, we also know what venues are in areas under construction or need work – the little things that are hard to know from a website or brochure.

Yes again!  We are always testing and searching out new service providers.  We have discriminating taste, because the end result reflects upon us.  We only work with proven vendors that are reputable and have the same commitment to excellence that we have.

We work with local vendors on a regular basis.  By bringing them consistent and volume business, most of them are happy to work out deals and extras with us.  While we can not guarantee this with everyone, we do guarantee that we will negotiate the best available pricing available at the time of your wedding.

The islands are funny.  Most people move here to get away from contracts and mainstream business red tape, others are local businesses that are used to doing business with a smile and a handshake. You’ll find that in the Virgin Islands many vendors are trusting and laid back, so they just don’t have contracts.  However, contracts give you peace of mind that all parties understand the expectations, payment structures and responsibilities.  For this reason, we have created our own service agreements that we fill out, review with you and have vendors sign.  In this way we ensure that YOU get exactly what has been agreed upon and for the price negotiated.  If a vendor has a contract of their own, we go through it with a fine tooth comb to ensure that your best interests are met.

Without a doubt!  We make that our job so that you and your bridal party can relax and enjoy the islands.  We sweat the small stuff so you don't have to. Our goal is for you to be a guest at your wedding.

We find that many people prefer to do this on their own.  When planning a destination wedding, so many things are far away and out of your hands, this is something tangible you can work on where you are.  However, we are happy to create or review all wording on invitations.  We do recommend that any travel information at least be reviewed by us prior to sending to guests, so that we ensure they get accurate and up to date information on all travel plans.  That being said, we LOVE to create custom designed invitations, itineraries, programs, seating cards, etc.  Design is available at additional cost on a per job basis.  Visit our graphic design section

Most certainly!  This is the part we really love.  Each wedding is a unique expression of your new life together and we love to be a part of it. We’ll advise you on the newest trends, hottest websites and helpful resources.

This is a vital part of the coordination process.  There are various nuances related to deliveries… is a particular vendor known for being on time?  What kind of frosting is on the cake – should it be delivered to the venue just before the reception, or is there refrigeration available at the venue?  Do we need to count all the rented glasses before the delivery truck leaves? (YES!)  We highly recommend including onsite coordination as part of your contract.

You betcha!  Again, our job is to concentrate and stress over every little detail so that you don’t have to. You should be a guest at your wedding and leave the worrying to us – this is your day!

We consider ourselves an extension of you.  We check, double check and go back one more time to make sure that everything is in place just as you expect it to be.  We have no problem going the extra mile to ensure that your expectations are met.  We settle for nothing less.

We would be more than happy to handle all of your travel plans!  We can handle any travel including airfare and accommodations.
