    Highly Recommend!

    If you're looking for simplicity yet professionalism, Marcus is your person! Since my husband and I are both spontaneous, he coordinated everything with such a short notice. I couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful day! From the flowers to the view, we were blown away! Would recommend to everyone and anyone who is looking to elope in one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.

    Great Experience with Marcus and Thouzand Wordz

    My bride and I had a trip planned to St. Lucia for several months. As luck would have it, we got engaged a few short weeks before our trip. This was a second marriage for both of us so we did not want to plan a big wedding in the states. We decided to get married in St. Lucia and reached out to Marcus for help. Marcus was absolutely wonderful! He worked under a tight deadline, met us at our resort the day before to get all the papers signed, and then arranged the most beautiful wedding we could ever imagined! We loved everything he did, loved our officiant and photographer. Honestly, the whole wedding experience exceeded all of our expectations. On top of it all, Marcus is a wonderful person; kind, caring, reliable, and hard-working. We can't recommend Marcus highly enough.

    It was stellar!

    Marcus was amazing! He had all of our paperwork ready to go with just our signatures needed. He was at our villa within two hours of us getting off the plane for the signatures and to get the bouquet design locked in. He was responsive and accommodating to all our communications and requests. He easily handled a last minute change for the location where we readied for the wedding, which was important for hair and makeup. He made sure we had everything we needed, including a steamer for a suit jacket. The beach spot was beautiful. The woman who married us, Imogene, was incredible and we could not possibly have imagined a more perfect ceremony. The photographer had us cracking up! He took pictures and video. The shots are gorgeous. The entire process was handled seamlessly. Everything was very reasonably priced. Marcus is a consummate professional and we can't recommend him highly enough.

    St Lucia, the magical love island

    We had an amazing experience with Thouzand Wordz and Marcus "Mufasa" in arranging our wedding on St. Lucia! Marcus's calm demeanor, expertise, and attention to detail made our special day more memorable. The fact that he was able to handle everything with such care and efficiency, even with just two weeks' notice speaks volumes about his professionalism and dedication to creating unforgettable experiences for his clients. He exceeded our expectations and left such a positive impact on us and our guests. St. Lucia is an incredible place for a wedding, and with Marcus and his team at Thouzand Wordz, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

    Exceptional service for an exceptional event

    We wanted to renew our vows while vacationing in St. Lucia. Several resorts offered the service, but ours did not. We got a recommendation from the resort of a planning service that was well regarded but not local, meaning there would be extra costs for transport and setup where we were. We came across Thouzand Wordz and another planner after a Google search. We interviewed all and were particularly impressed with Marcus.

    We weren't sure what we wanted and felt overwhelmed, especially since there was only two weeks until the event. Talk about last minute! Marcus patiently guided us through the process, making insightful suggestions at every step as we created our special day. His experience really showed. Special requests were not a problem.

    We arrived on the island and met with Marcus to discuss the plan the day before the event. Rain was a distinct possibility, so we were concerned because the ceremony was to be on the beach with the Pitons and ocean as the backdrop. He had a contingency plan that would allow us to still have the event on the beach.

    All of his service providers (photographer, musicians, officiant, etc.) were warm and friendly and true professionals. The cost was much more reasonable than a resort would be, and the service was every bit as exceptional. We also liked the idea of supporting local businesses rather than a corporate-owned resort. Some moments you can only celebrate once. We are very glad we chose Thouzand Wordz to help us plan our 30th anniversary.

    Catamaran wedding in St. Lucia

    Marcus coordinated a small wedding on a catamaran for us on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. Marcus is responsive and attentive to his client's needs. We had a great time, and all went without a hitch. He arranged flowers and candles for our suite, a guitar player and music for the boat, the officiant, photographer, et al. He is well known in the local community and obviously well-liked. I would recommend him without hesitation!

    Excellent destination wedding/ elopement planner

    Marcus was so helpful, he took care of all the details from booking hair and makeup, to photographer, to the timeline. Our original wedding plans were destroyed by a hurricane a month before the date, so we decided to elope in St.Lucia instead. Everything went smooth Marcus planned everything in like a week and i’m so thankful! He came to our hotel the day before to go over everything and personally delivered our pictures before we left to go back home. He is punctual and responsive.

    Stress free, Wonderful experience

    We booked our wedding with Marcus back in March 2022. He did all the work for us as far as legalities go, planned the entire wedding & set the venue up. As time got closer, he messaged us what type of flower bouquet we wanted, what type of background we wanted etc. On the wedding day, Marcus sent a driver to pick us up from our resort at Caille Blanc to take us to our destination, which we got to pick for the ceremony called La Haut. He was all ready to go, officiant, photographer, and even a wedding singer (which was a last minute add on). It was magical and exceeded our expectations.

    So in love with you and Tina's down to earth island spirit :-) Beautiful day. Wishing you many happy married years, many blessings :-).

    Dream come true

    Highly recommended. I was nervous working with a vendor from a distance but Marcus understood and worked with me to make me feel more comfortable. He met us and took us to view the venue upon arrival to the island, signed paperwork with us and did all the work needed to get marriage license and certificates. The flowers and cake were absolute beautiful. Although I’m sure they do many weddings, they made us feel very special and the vibe was loving and laid back.

    Thank you, Cheresse for such a wonderful review. The photos look stunning :-)... Wishing you and Raphael a marriage filled with laughter and good health. Many Blessings.

    Marcus, A True Blessing

    Before you can appreciate the depth of this review, you would first have to know the experiences that led to us finding Marcus. My husband and I are from Tampa, FL and were planning an elopement on the beautiful island of Saint Lucia. 5 weeks before our wedding day, our previous wedding planner went MIA! Like, not responding to any calls, texts or emails type of MIA! I cannot explain the level of anxiety that this caused myself, the bride. In pure desperation I started searching for another wedding planner that would be willing to pick up where our previous one left off with such a short time frame. That's when we found Marcus. From the very first conversation I had with Marcus I was put at ease as he not only apologized for my previous experience (quoting "that is not how business is done on the island") but ensured me he could accomplish my vision with ease. From planning to execution, Marcus was knowledgeable, helpful, and confident. When you are planning a wedding/elopement in another country communication is key, Marcus was incredibly communicative and offered many suggestions that would make our day even more perfect! Marcus was involved with every step of our planning from the resort we stayed at, photography/videography, venue, florals, music, day of coordination, and even helped bring to life my adventurous idea of taking a photos/video on a rock in the middle of the water! Marcus was kind, funny and personable the whole time. There are not enough stars for Marcus, honestly. Our day was perfect because of him!

    Thouzand Wordz's reply:

    Hi Nikki - Thank you for such a wonderful review, I saw miracles at work the first day you arrived in St. Lucia :-). You and Jake are truly meant for each other - I can't wait to see the photos :-) - Beautiful day! Many many many blessings upon your marriage.

The service provided by Thouzand Wordz was superb, He Handled every aspect of my wedding professionally with a touch of grace, the legal assistance with marriage license, photography, DJ, hair & make up if I needed and most importantly the catering. All other requests were arranged and fulfilled as agreed.

    Exceptional Service with ownership and agility!

    Marcus was one of the best services I’ve hired for my wedding! 🙂 Planning a destination wedding is not easy, distance and “island time” makes it difficult to get ahold of people and some tasks becomes quite difficult at times, but not with Marcus!

    My heart desired to get married legally in the island, but I was discouraged to do so at first, as it would add extra costs and unnecessary paperwork. However, I gave it a shot and texted Marcus, and very quickly, we were able to get our first video call setup and he was quite flexible with our timing differences which gave me a confidence booster that we were in the right path and things would work out!

    On video, seeing his face was so much better than a simply phone call! It put me at ease that he was going to take care of it, meaning ownership! Not even mentioning his smile and energy are endearing! 😃

    After the wedding, Marcus shipped the marriage certificateto our address in United States right away! The mail got lost at the carrier and I was very concerned but he made sure we got a 2nd copy, very fast and effective! Impressive!

    As of today, I'm in the process of getting it validated in the United States and changing my last name as well. I don't foresee to have any issue in the process but I'm sure if I need, Marcus will be there to support me with anything that I need! He's our guy!
