A dream come true

I honestly don't even know where to begin - Gigi is the most incredible person/wedding planner and I highly recommend hiring her for all your wedding/event needs. Not only will she deliver your vision to its entirety, she is on her game from the moment you begin to plan to the moment it is over and then on. Her response rate is incredible, no matter what you need she is always there to help and take on any challenge you give her. I could not have asked for a better person to have by my side planning my special day. Our wedding was absolutely incredible and I give it all to her. Thank you Gigi, you will always be a special part of our day

Caribbean Blue Weddings is the best!

We are very grateful for everything Ghislaine did for our amazing wedding day!
Since we live abroad and are almost always busy with our job, we really needed a weddingplanner that could help us with everything in the process of planning our wedding. Our weddingplanner Ghislaine did an amazing job at this. She took care of everything. Ghislaine is an expert, she has a lot of patience, she responds to messages/mails very quick, she has excellent connections on the island and she made everything we wanted possible. Besides that she is really nice and she has an incredible team.
We trusted Ghislaine fully and we were not stressed at all on our wedding day, because we knew everything was well arranged.
We are really happy with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Ghislaine and her team!
Thanks once again for everything Ghislaine ❤️.

Want the best? Hire Gigi

Hands down the best possible experience from start to finish. Our wedding was incredible thanks to Gigi working with us. We are two working professionals who didn’t have the time nor in depth contacts on the island to make this wedding possible. Gig made it possible and more.
Photography, DJ, busses around the island for our three day extravaganza, personal tours, great food, everything was made easier and possible.
