25th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal

Island Mike was the absolute best! The setting at Frenchman's Reef was perfect. His words were very meaningful and including the kids in the vows was so special. (Although my youngest will not be upholding that vow to clean lol) He brought along Jade Dalton Photography to capture the moment with beautiful pictures and recommended Blooming Things for the beautiful flowers. We also took his recommendation to charter Kevin with CrewZen IV Charters and the day was absolutely perfect! Thanks again for helping us make memories!

Island Mike is the BEST!

We originally contacted Island Mike via email from his website. He was very responsive and helpful. He provided clear instructions for how to obtain our marriage license, helpful hints about travel to USVI, and recommendations for things to do while there. Every interaction was professional and informative. We wanted a sweet simple wedding at sunset with just the two of us and Island. Mike provided exactly that. Our ceremony took place around 5:30 at Limetree Beach on St. Thomas. He took some amazing pictures and enjoyed the moment with us. I highly recommend him.

Smooth sailing for our cruise destination wedding

Michael was the officiant for our intimate island wedding ceremony. We were only in St. Thomas for the day as one of our cruise stops, so everything had to be coordinated online! Michael answered every one of our many, many questions and was professional from beginning to end. He was also flexible with our changes and made sure we were covered when situations arose. Michael was a wonderfully charismatic officiant, and we are so happy to have made this choice. We wouldn't have done our ceremony any differently! Highly recommended!

10/10 Island Mike is THE BEST!!

10/10 would recommend Island Mike! We eloped on St. John in April 2023. Mike was incredibly responsive to all my questions leading up to the elopement. He helped us choose the right florist, photographer, and bakery for our day. Not only that, he offered expert advice about which beach would be best for our morning ceremony (Hawksnest).

Most of all, Mike is incredibly kind, funny, reliable and calm. Everything you want in someone who is marrying you!
When we arrived at the beach for our ceremony, the gorgeous floral arch we ordered was already assembled, and Mike greeted us with hugs.

The ceremony was sweet, laidback, and memorable.

Our marriage certificate and all the paperwork was expertly handled by Mike, and he even sent me the extra copies of the marriage certificate that I requested.

Mike's attention to detail and positive, sunny demeanor is everything you are looking for in a wedding officiant on the islands.

We are so grateful to Mike for making our elopement on St. John everything we hoped for.

Perfect day!

We had our ceremony on St. John and Mike and his photographer made our day so special. We are laid back people and wanted a simple ceremony and that’s exactly what Mike provided on beautiful hawksnest beach. His photographer was open to provide what we wanted and also helped us with shots she recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What a pleasure to work with Michael! He clearly takes pride in his work, creating a meaningful experience for each couple. Officiating a destination wedding requires a different kind of expertise having to do with weather, remote location, etc. and Michael was able to keep us on schedule for the sunset ceremony. If you're looking to elope or have an intimate ceremony on the Virgin Islands, I highly recommend Michael to officiate.
