Island Bliss Weddings

Who does the detailed Event Planner Bride call for their dream wedding? ISLAND BLISS WEDDINGS!!!! To those of you who actually read these reviews, let mine guide you into helping you to choose your wedding planner. ;-) As an Event Planner & owner of 2 additional businesses, there are a few things that are extremely important to me: Customer service, the DETAILS, communication & professionalism. Janelle possesses all of those things & more! From the moment we began planning our wedding, until the day of, we must've exchanged over 1,000 emails, easily! While Janelle is VERY busy (which is a good sign), the one thing that stood out to me the most was...I ALWAYS FELT AS IF I WERE HER ONLY BRIDE. I felt like I was made a priority & she responded to EVERY question, text & phone call. I had a vision of how I wanted my wedding to look, all the way down to the agate stone place cards on the table. On our wedding day, I did not leave the room until it was time for me to walk "down the aisle". Janelle had placed every floral arrangement, napkin, sign, candle, etc exactly where I envisioned it! & let me tell you, as an Event Planner, it is sooooo hard to let go of the control & allow someone to execute your vision. Lol Needless to say, we couldn't have been more happy with Janelle's services. She assisted with transportation for our guests, handled custom items that I had shipped to the islands, etc. If you're looking for a detailed, professional, attentive, responsive, creative Wedding Planner in the Virgin Islands, Island Bliss Weddings is the one! Happy planning!

Working with Island Bliss Weddings was a dream come true. If it’s your first, second, third or whatever wedding and you want an elopement, intimate ceremony or a full wedding and reception with zero stress or regrets or anything negative, I highly recommend you book through them. Their recommendations for photography, videography, bakery, the florist they work with, the food, musicians, their set up crew, day of coordinator all of them are absolutely top tier, amazing, friendly people and the best to work with. As for Stuart and Janelle I don’t think I’ve ever communicated with someone for almost a year that was so responsive, full of tips and tricks and again so kind. There was no nerves, awkwardness, or anything like that and they played a big part in why it went so smoothly. It felt like we’ve been good friends for years. The day went perfect and shows they know what they are doing. Every small detail or problem they had planned out perfectly or a way to fix it. Once again I highly recommend booking your wedding through Island Bliss Weddings!! You won’t regret it!

Island Bliss Weddings truly went above and beyond for us from the very beginning of the planning process through the very end of our wedding day. Planning a destination wedding felt overwhelming, especially from far away, but they made the entire process so much less stressful. I had many, many questions throughout the planning process, and they were always patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful. I genuinely don’t know how we would have navigated everything without them.

On our wedding day, they were absolutely amazing. They kept me informed without overwhelming me, handled the behind-the-scenes details, and made sure the entire day stayed on track so that I could actually relax and enjoy it. Their coordination with the venues and vendors made everything feel seamless, and we never had to worry about what was happening next.

Aaron was fantastic during our ceremony. Even though we had only met him that day, he made the ceremony feel incredibly personal, warm, and meaningful. It felt like he truly understood us and the kind of ceremony we wanted.

Marissa was incredible throughout the entire day. She kept everything moving, was always one step ahead, and was such a calming presence.

And Janelle and Stuart were truly a godsend. Their help and support throughout the experience made such a difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they did for us.

The entire Island Bliss team made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. They took so much of the stress and logistics off our shoulders and allowed us to focus on what really mattered; celebrating with our family and friends and enjoying every moment of our wedding.

We could not recommend Island Bliss Weddings more highly. If you’re considering a destination wedding in St. Thomas, hire them. You will not regret it. They are incredibly talented, organized, responsive, and genuinely care about making your wedding day everything you dreamed it would be.

If you are planning a wedding in St. Thomas, do yourself a huge favor and book Island Bliss Weddings. The owners, Janelle and Stuart, are absolutely incredible at what they do. From start to finish, they were phenomenal to work with.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Janelle and Stuart quickly answered every single question I had. They completely put my mind at ease and calmed every single nerve along the way. Everyone they work with was so incredibly kind and professional.

A special shoutout to our on-site coordinator, Marissa, she was absolutely phenomenal, and we truly couldn’t have had a better day without her! Marissa and the entire staff at the Sapphire Beach Bar went completely above and beyond when my three-month-old niece started getting overheated. Their quick thinking, care, and helpfulness showed just how much they genuinely care about their clients and their families.

Island Bliss has put together the most amazing team of vendors:
The Decor & Flowers: The decor was beautiful and the flowers were absolutely stunning. Everything looked exactly how I envisioned it.

Janelle and Stuart were absolutely amazing to work with! They were so helpful, responsive and made the whole wedding process as easy and enjoyable as possible! They totally nailed our vision spot on through our inspo pictures we sent them! Marissa and Aaron were fantastic day of and made everything run so smoothly! We could not recommend Island Bliss enough.

We can’t recommend Island Bliss Weddings enough! Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but they made the entire process completely seamless from start to finish.

From the very beginning, they provided a clear, step by step guide on what to do and when, with a detailed timeline that kept everything on track. Their communication was incredible.

What truly set them apart was how they went above and beyond. Not only did they flawlessly coordinate the wedding details, but they helped us plan excursions for our guests, making the whole experience unforgettable for everyone.

Every vendor they connected us with was top notch. It was clear that they have strong relationships and only work with the best.

If we could give them 10 stars, we would!

Janelle and Stuart were absolutely amazing to work with. They were helpful in organizing everything from the wedding to the reception and everything in between. I can’t recommend them enough!

Janelle and Stuart of Island Bliss Weddings brought our February 2025 destination wedding in St. Thomas beautifully to life. They are incredibly organized, knowledgeable about the islands, and made the entire planning process feel seamless.
They helped us choose the perfect venue for our 90 guests at Villa Botanica, kept us on a clear planning timeline, and provided an excellent selection of trusted local vendors. They also planned our welcome party, helped with my bachelorette planning, helped with guest accommodations, and coordinated packages from the mainland. On the wedding day itself, everything ran beautifully! We couldn’t recommend Janelle and Stuart more highly.

We had the absolute best experience with Island Bliss Weddings and Aaron as our officiant. Our situation was a little different since our actual elopement was planned for St. John. All we needed was help in St. Thomas from the airport to turn in our paperwork and then make it to the ferry on time. Aaron and the Island Bliss team were incredibly kind, accommodating, and understanding of exactly what we needed.

From start to finish they catered to our plans, made everything seamless, and removed all stress from the process. They were punctual, friendly, and truly made us feel taken care of during our short time on St. Thomas. Everything was handled efficiently and with such a positive attitude.

This was hands down the easiest and smoothest getting married experience we could have imagined. If you are looking for a stress free, professional, and genuinely caring officiant, we cannot recommend Island Bliss Weddings and Aaron enough.
