Even Better Than I Ever Imagined!

I had Christina and Laysha from Irie Matrimony + Events plan my wedding for me and they blew us all away with their abilities! Christina and Laysha are my new favorite people in this world! They’re on top of EVERY LITTLE DETAIL, even the one’s you won’t think of! I live in the states and took a big leap of faith when I chose them as my wedding planners, especially since I was really busy working (10hr/daily) and couldn’t find the energy to be super involved. Also, because they run their business on the island and there wasn’t much for me to involve myself in (eg; cake tasting)

Although I wasn’t able to communicate with them on a regular basis while they planned the wedding because of my work schedule, I was able to send them some inspiration photo’s and stress to them what was truly important to me (my arch was the most important) to have at the wedding. Not only did they get EVERYTHING right, but they nailed it with the arch!!! I was shocked. They are so talented and so professional.


Another reason I recommend that you hire them as your wedding planner is because they will do their best to work with you to keep costs down as much as possible. They’re not just about ripping you off and over charging you. They’re truly amazing. They made me feel so much better on my day and I loved them so much that I asked them to come an hour earlier than expected and they literally did! Just because they knew how nervous I was!


Christina and Laysha: thank you both so much for everything you did. My family loves you so much and so do I! PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU ARE VISITING MY OUR STATE! I have to see yall!

Amazing ceremony on the beach and reception at Sunset Grille

This venue was gorgeous. The beach is great! I did not plan my entire wedding through the resort, just booked the venue and used a different planner. We had our reception at the open-air restaurant on the beach, Sunset Grille. It was affordable with customizable options for food, drinks, etc.
Jessica and Kelly were so helpful and set up some decorations that we brought for us. We purchased some appetizers for the table and also some "passed" appetizers and Kelly brought them around to everyone which felt very fancy. We are very happy with everything!

We took a huge risk and brought our friends and family from the Midwest to St. Thomas. After reaching out to many restaurants we found this gem (Sunset Grille) on Secret Harbour Resort. I reached out to Jessica Hume and she was extremely accommodating and comforting from the moment we first spoke. She was flexible and patient with me throughout the planning process and was confident that it would be a beautiful reception. Once the details were set in place, I rarely needed to check in with Sunset Grille because I felt assured that everything was going to fall into place perfectly!

The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL the beach is GORGEOUS and the food is DELICIOUS! This was the best meal we had on the island the entire week we were there. Jessica and her team were welcoming to our wedding party and went above and beyond to provide the best experience we could have imagined!

When we return for our anniversaries, we will ensure to always stop by Sunset Grille for dinner. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Jessica and Sunset Grille Team!

My husband and I were married on October 26, 2016 and had our reception at Secret Harbour Sunset Grille. This is a beautiful location for a reception! The food, staff, and bar were amazing! Our family and friends still talk about the painkillers and crab cakes and how awesome they were! I could not tell the staff thank you enough. There was not one time myself or a guests had an empty glass whether they were sitting or on the dance floor. The private area is right on the beach and close to the bar and restroom. The restroom is gender neutral which was not a problem, but there was slight confusion at the beginning. Sunset Grille also provided the linens for my reception which were all nice and steamed! The only thing I would move is the cake and welcome table. The welcome table was tucked away in a corner where some guests did not go and the cake table was in the sun, which caused my buttercream cake to melt.... I am not sure if the placement of the tables were Sunset Grille or of my planner, but just something to pay attention to.

My husband and I got married last week and had our cocktail hour and reception lunch at Sunset Grille which is located at the Secret Harbour Resort. Our wedding party was 12 of our family and friends (plus my husband and I) so we wanted to keep things small and intimate. Therefore, we opted to have a plated lunch (instead of buffet) in the private wine room and it was absolutely perfect. The room had AC so it was nice and cool and the tables were well decorated. Our wedding planner had worked with the staff ahead of time to have a vegan entree available on the menu and they were very accommodating. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our group had everything we needed and even hooked up her phone to the stereo system to play a Pandora station for us while we ate. The food was absolutely spectacular and the vegan option was a delicious tofu pad thai. Both Jessica and our waitress were very attentive, always checking on us and our guests for drinks (we had an open bar) throughout the meal. Speaking of drinks, they were fantastic! Our guests most enjoyed the key lime colada and the mango daiquiris. The private wine room was the perfect location for our lunch and everyone had a great time. We would highly recommend Sunset Grille to anyone looking to have a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner on St. Thomas.

We would definitely stay at Secret Harbour again. The beach is beautiful and the staff works hard to keep the grounds clean for guests. All the rooms are individually owned, so they all look different. I saw 4 different rooms, including ours, and they ranged from good to great (ours was great)! You feel as if you're on a private beach at times which is why we decided to have our wedding here. We went to other beaches and they were beautiful, but Secret Harbour is more quiet and relaxing. They have a dive shop on site and the Cruzan Beach Club, a restaurant/bar with delicious food and great drinks. You'll love it!

Secret Harbour is a little slice of heaven, and it is the perfect destination and location for a wedding and reception. We have enjoyed past visits to Secret Harbour and quickly identified it as the best option for our spring destination wedding. The beach at Secret Harbour is one of the locals favorites and offers an intimate location for a wedding ceremony. Cruzan Beach Bar and Sunset Grille proved to be fantastic back drops and hosts for our wedding cocktail hour and reception with views of the sunset and ocean while guests enjoyed the celebration. The food is delicious and the venue is accommodating based on the type of meal and style of meal you're interested in. The Secret Harbour Beach Resort management and staff is first class! They are so happy to have you vacation with them and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable. We found them to be very accommodating with our wedding guest reservations, additional events at the hotel we planned during the week, and often checked in to see what else they could do to help. Secret Harbour is also a very good resource in terms of activities and attractions in nearby Red Hook, St. Thomas and the surrounding islands. Last, but certainly not least, our wedding coordinator/planner at Secret Harbour, Laysha Powers, is incredible! She is knowledgeable, creative, helpful and thoughtful in her important role. Laysha help manager our vendor relationships, was candid in her feedback about our ideas, and was accessible despite a busy schedule. Laysha was the mastermind behind our dream wedding and has become a lifelong family friend as a result of her tireless hard work and commitment to pleasing her clients. Overall, Secret Harbour is a gem and we highly recommend it as a resort to consider for a destination wedding or for a getaway to St. Thomas.

WE planned our daughter's wedding with Laysha Powers at Secret Harbour. Every detail was taken care of by Laysha and the wonderful management and staff at Secret Harbour. Laysha was very responsive and creative in her approach to helping us plan from Michigan and Chicago. She coordinated guest reservations and vendors beautifully. She communicated perfectly with all involved. I simply can't say enough kind words to thank Laysha. East End Florists provided amazing flowers, Tim West, DJ, was excellent, Morgan Rael provided wonderful music for our ceremony and reception. Kelly Lorenz, KLIMAGERY.com , our photographer was also amazing. We can't wait to see and share photos. I encourage others to plan their wedding at Secret Harbour. The resort is lovely, Rooms are clean and decorated nicely. See their website for more specifics. The Sunset Grille and Cruzan Beach restaurant group coordinated by Jessica Hume provided us with an excellent reception at the resort. Our daughter and her husband are so happy with all that was provided for them and their guests. Give strong consideration to planning an event at Secret Harbour. We will return to there soon with lots of excellent memories.

This place is an excellent venue for a wedding reception! We our from Illinois and scheduled Harbour Beach as our reception for a post wedding luncheon. Reservations were scheduled over the phone or email - responses were very timely and professional. We had 11 guests. We were extremely pleased with the service and our waitress TISH. I had shipped candles to place on the reception table and there were no issues. Secret Harbour had set up our table so nicely at no extra cost they added island flowers and shells. We had our reception table on the patio with a curtain behind it for semi-privacy. Secret Harbour also cut and served our cake to guest for a small fee. The ocean view was perfect! The food was good and reasonably priced. Me and my husband had their fish tacos which were the best I've EVER had!

My wedding coordinator was Laysha and she did such an awesome job. She is very responsive and made me feel that my wedding was very important to her. She really walked me through everything and I could not have had the beautiful wedding I had without her. Everything that I wanted she made happen. I highly recommend her. My wedding and reception was absolutely perfect at Secret Harbour and I would not change a thing about it.
