About

Stuart Scott is a non denominational wedding officiant that provides wedding services on St Thomas and St John in the gorgeous United States Virgin Islands. He can provide simple wedding services that include helping you file the paperwork, picking you up at your hotel or cruiseship, bringing you to the courthouse to pickup the paperwork, and then on to your ceremony site and of course back again.

All of his ceremonies are personalized with information he collects from the groom on the day of the wedding. His ceremonies are upbeat, with a little humor, and of course some tears. He can perform ceremonies on a boat, deserted island, beach, villa, anywhere you can imagine even underwater for those SCUBA enthusiasts. He can also provide some simple wedding planning items like champagne with glass flutes, bucket etc, and assistance in booking flowers and transportation.

He has also officiated many interfaith weddings with and without a Jewish officiant, same sex commitment ceremonies, vow renewals, and even group weddings and vow renewals. He tries to make each and every ceremony he performs personal and reflective of the couple and their needs and backgrounds. He works for all of the major hotels on the islands, including the famed Ritz Carlton Resort, as well as many of the idependent wedding planners so he can always give you advice if you need it.

If you ask, he will make it happen.

Fantastic Officiant!

Stuart was an amazing officiant. He was incredibly professional, knew how to navigate the ceremony beautifully, and has a great sense of humor.

We would highly recommend Stuart for any USVI wedding.

Amazing!

Stuart did such a phenomenal job with officiating our wedding! He is so personable and so relatable. We were really worried about the ceremony being stiff and he made it super relaxed yet super intimate! We were only a group of 22 but he had us all laughing and smiling the whole entire time. Stuart and his wife Janelle with Island Bliss Weddings are such amazing people! We were so lucky to work with them and they made our special day truly unforgettable! :)

It doesn't get any better.

Stuart is incredible. Had our wedding 2/28/21. Could not be more pleased with the way he did our ceremony. Every word he said was amazing, we didn't even know what he was going to say. It worked out perfect because we were STUNNED at how good it was. He speaks with clarity and decisiveness. Stuart, if you see this.. THANK YOU. It was a pleasure.

Couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

Stuart was the absolute best; he was super nice, fun, personable, and just a blast to be around. When it was time for him to speak at the ceremony, it felt like he had known us for years. He made us feel so comfortable on the most important day of our lives. He even went above and beyond and picked up our signed marriage license. We cannot recommend him enough!

Wedding Officiant

Stuart was the officiant for our elopement to St. John and booked through Island Bliss Weddings. We are a fairly easy going couple, so did not meet with Stuart prior to our wedding day to go over the ceremony - we left it all up to him and he did an excellent job. He made our ceremony feel so personalized and special. He even asked some of the swimmers to move over a bit so our pictures would be stranger free lol :) Would definitely recommend!

Made our dream wedding come true!

We had one crazy travel experience, to shorten, we had already planned a wedding and stay but there was a mix up as to what island we should have been on! We arrived to St Thomas the day before what was supposed to be our trial, and 2 days before the official wedding day.
We were recommended to Stuart to help us plan a new ceremony since we wouldn't be able to make it to the original island where the plans were set.
Stuart was so efficient, friendly, flexible and helpful with our last minute wedding! He arranged the license (also gave us transportation to and from court house, as well as to and from the ceremony), photographer, videographer, hair stylist, musicians, florist, etc. The ceremony was beautiful, he did an amazing job. Although this week was not at all what we had planned, he made our island wedding a dream come true. Highly recommend!

Perfect ceremony!

Stu was our officiate. He was amazing and we get complimented on the service quite a bit. He was sincere, personable, nice and fun. It was well seen that he has done this for a long time and that he really enjoyed doing so. He made our ceremony all about us, when only meeting him a few minutes before the service! He even snuck Zion (our cat’s name) into the service as a cute little surprise.
We were SO VERY HAPPY with him and can’t thank him enough for officiating our best day of our lives (to date)! We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else. Thank you, Stuart!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I see all the different ceremony officials on St Thomas and St John and Stuart Scott is the best. He takes time to get to know the bride and groom and doesn't say the same old thing everytime. You cannot believe how often I hear other officiants say the same passages time and time again. He actually customizes the ceremony to fit exactly what you and your friends and family are all about. To not use Stuart Scott, in my opinion, is to not to know any better!
