What an amazing day

If you plan on getting married in the USVI, there is no better officiant than Island Mike. It is as if the gods themselves put him on earth to do just one job. Perform Weddings. From the very first video we saw of him drinking rum on his advertisement, we knew we had our man. Don't let the rum fool you, he was 110% professional the entire time. He walked us through getting our marriage license, helped arrange transportation, recommended venue's (we chose Sapphire Beach, and it was amazing). We had come in on a cruise ship, and had a very tight window, but due to Island Mike's skill, knowledge, and tutelage, everything went PERFCETLY. I swear, I think he even was able to control the weather, although that has not been confirmed. After our wedding we went for tacos at Greengo's in downtown St Thomas, and Island Mike is so famous, that even our waitress was married by him years earlier. (That is a 100% TRUE story) And Greengo's has the best tacos I have ever had! So to sum it all up, if you are planning on getting married, espoused, united, joined or hitched, Island Mike is your man!
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.
