Flawless Execution on Every Level

Do yourself a favor, hire them now! My wife and I wanted a destination wedding without the hassle of working through all the logistics and difficult planning ourselves. Not only was THIS made reality, but on the planning side, things could NOT have gone better. We started contact with our coordinator around 6+ months out. And every time we talked she provided thoughts and ideas when they were needed but was equally open to our input and ideas on how we make this day OURS. Which brings me to THE day. Everything went EXACTLY as planned. The smallest of details were handled with the utmost care. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Everything was as it was described. There were no surprises, no let-downs, no "I wish we'd thought of THAT." Flawless execution. I am 100% recommending their services. In addition, the companies they partner with from the transportation to the photographer are top notch pro's. If you want the complete worry-free package, you've found it. Trust me.

Everything I imagined

My husband and I were recently married at Magens Bay in St. Thomas. We live in Wisconsin so of course I had a lot of questions and quite a few changes due to it being a destination wedding. Erica was able to answer every question and/or request we had. We had a vision of our perfect wedding and Erica made it happen! She’s so kind and professional and I’d highly recommend her to anyone getting married in St. Thomas. 💜

Panning a wedding so far away can be extremely mentally taxing, HOWEVER Erica and Angela made is so easy and so much fun!!! No question/ request was to big or small, their communication was excellent, both in email and phone calls and they covered every detail you could imagine. I found them after having a really unpleasant experience with another planner who looked more reasonably priced, but really wasn't and was a pain to work with. Brides check to see if the marriage license is included in your package (it's expensive in the USVI). Weddings the Island Way includes it and makes sure its correct before filing everything for you. I simply could not have asked for better, they made everything so easy and made us feel like the most important couple in the universe. From our transportation, helping us play our selected music, the wonderful officiant, the delicious cake (that had added piped lace design as a special last minute request, at no additional charge), setting up our sand ceremony table, and many other special decorations that we brought with us. It was the PERFECT DAY!!! I am so happy that we choose them, I am so picky about everything and I cannot say enough good about them, 5 Stars simply isn't enough. Thank You Ladies, for the most perfect wedding day EVER! It was so breathtakingly beautiful and I loved everything about it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
