Colosal Weddings

We had an amazing experience with John as our engagement photographer in Aruba. He was professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured such a special moment for us perfectly.

We’re so grateful for these memories and couldn’t recommend him more!

Everything was perfect! They were very flexible when it came to planning and the attention to detail was amazing. The photography was nothing short of incredible and would recommend booking. 10/10

I came across John & his team 2 years ago, he made sure we got our dream wedding & took the most beautiful pictures. My husband & I are now expecting our first baby & wanted to do a baby moon so ofc we had to reach out to John for our maternity shoot & he did a BEAUTIFUL job AGAIN and even provided us with teasers that same day. We are so thankful for him, he’s truly so talented, professional and just simply the best.

John and his team were fantastic! From our first zoom meeting I was sold!!! He pulled off an amazing wedding from across the pond !!!

We cruised into Aruba on 11.11.25 and John met with me around 10:30 am . I was late due to being on ship time and not Aruba time but he was patient and gave me tour of Aruba by foot. We saw beautiful buildings , resorts and casinos .

He introduced the culture to me, he let me know about the Dutch culture , and his experience of living in Aruba !

We chose the sunset kiss package ! John and his team provided transportation to eagle beach for my guest and groom and I rode in a separate vehicle!

The ceremony was beautiful, the minister was the greatest touch , he made us laugh, cry , and he made my entire family extremely happy he set the vibe ! After the wedding , John’s team did about an hour of photography, our children enjoyed the ocean for a few minutes and we ended the night at Lucy’s with the transportation provided by John’s team !

From beginning to the end everything was amazing ! I would recommend this team to anyone looking to book a destination wedding in Aruba !

We had such a beautiful ceremony. It was everything I had imagined.

It was truly a memorable moment. I was so happy the weather cooperated and the sky was beautiful.

The gentleman who did our service spoke beautifully, it was as if he knew us. I couldn’t have asked for more.

My bouquet was perfect, the colors matched the arch perfectly.

It was perfection from beginning to the end. The planning was seamless. John was constantly in touch. I would definitely recommend them.

Planning a destination wedding from the United States could have been overwhelming, but working with John made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, John provided us with all the necessary information to have both a civil (legal) ceremony and a symbolic beach ceremony in Aruba.

He walked us through the entire process with exceptional attention to detail. John clearly outlined which documents we needed, where to obtain them, and how to submit everything properly. Thanks to his knowledge and organization, we felt confident and supported every step of the way.

John not only coordinated all of the legal requirements for our civil ceremony, but also arranged for it to take place at the government office and handled transportation. On the day of our wedding, he met us at the civil house, guided us through the process, and even offered to take photos to capture the moment—something we truly appreciated.

A few days before the wedding, John took the time to personally meet us at our hotel to review all final details and answer any last-minute questions. His professionalism and genuine friendliness made him a joy to work with.

Everything was seamless and perfectly executed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better planner to help bring our vision to life. If you’re considering a destination wedding in Aruba, we highly recommend John Zimmerman for his outstanding service and dedication.

Thank you, John, for helping make our special day truly unforgettable!

John was such a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive in our communications. He was willing to work with our schedules and always punctual. Would recommend

John and his staff were amazing in setting up and making any changes we had along the way. We planned this wedding from the USA and coordinated it with our cruise. He had all the answers to get our group of 24 from the ship, to the wedding venue and back. I had to change my wedding colors 3 weeks prior to wedding and he was more than accomodating. This was the easiest and most amazing wedding EVER. The photos were also so in the moment. He has pictures of everyone in posed positions and in the moment captions. We had a sunset wedding and he made sure to capture the most amazing sites. A million stars he should get!!

John and his wife with Colosal Weddings are absolutely amazing!!!! My husband and I have never visited the island and did not know where to start in planning our destination wedding. John answered all our questions, made everything easy on us and was super responsive. He thought of every single detail to make our wedding perfect and it was absolutely perfect! It’s a day I wish I could relive over and over again! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and was the happiest day of our lives thanks to John! I would not recommend anyone else but him! Thank you John and Colosal Weddings!
