    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!!

    Beautiful Saint Thomas wedding

    Stuart was wonderful! Made our ceremony feel so personal and added humor as well. The florist was closed the day of our wedding so he went out of his way to meet the florist on our way to the wedding site to pick up my bouquet. Such a wonderful experience and couldn’t be happier with our special day!

    Personalized Perfection

    I had the pleasure of working with Stuart for my 2016 wedding and he was WONDERFUL! We had a few last minute emergencies with the boat docking an hour late and he stepped in and helped us. He was an advocate for us when the courthouse personnel didn’t treat us with respect and took the time to get to know our story. He incorporated it into our vows and with his great sense of humor made it a wonderful day.

    Stuart was our officiant and he was great. Picked us up and drove us around the island after getting our marriage license. He talked with us to get information about us before the ceremony and made it about us. It was great.

    Above and beyond

    Planning a wedding that is going to happen 1,000miles from home is stressful, especially when 75 guests were involved. But Island Bliss Weddings went above and beyond to make my experience as smooth as possible. The day of the wedding went more perfect than I could have imagined. The decor and all the details were perfect!! Aaron was an amazing officiate and spoke absolutely beautifully. I highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    Bad day of my life!!

    Stuart was absolutely wonderful. From the moment he picked us up we both felt comfortable, he walked us through the courthouse and made it all seem so seamless. He personalized our ceremony with our story in a matter of minutes. The ceremony was beyond anything I could have hoped or imagined. Stuart and Island Bliss made our wedding day everything I dreamed of!!!

    There is not enough good I can say about Stuart Scott and his wedding officiant services. My fiancé and I eloped in St. Thomas in Feb of 2017 and Stuart was right there at the cruise port to pick us up and it was smooth sailing from there. It was a breeze and Stuart made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering getting married in St. Thomas! Nancy & Jim

    Stuart was everything we hoped for and more for our officiant! My husband and I got married on Lindquist Beach, St. Thomas in January 2015. Stuart listened exactly to our preferences and shared some beautiful, personalized words with us and our guests. Stuart was professional, more than pleasant to work with, and eager to make our ceremony perfect. Stuart conducted our ceremony with love, thoughtfulness, smiles, and laughter. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone and I have no doubt he will make your ceremony as perfect as ours was!

    Stuart officiated my wedding last week, and he did an amazing job! When I went down to St. Thomas this spring to plan my destination wedding, he came to meet me at my resort and it was great to meet him! He customizes ceremonies and we wanted a nonreligious ceremony, and it was perfect. He met with my husband before the ceremony to learn some facts about us, and used them all in the ceremony, even the names of our beloved cats! Several guests approached me after the ceremony and mentioned what a great job he did, and how it seemed like he was a family friend. After the ceremony, he promptly filed our certificate for us and even mailed it personally to us back in the States. We really appreciate all that Stuart did for our wedding, and would recommend him to anyone!

    Stuart was amazing! My husband and I wanted a quiet ceremony on the beach, stress free. Stuart was very responsive and helpful from the very beginning (with us asking all the usual questions like "What if it rains") to helping us out with our paperwork since I had procrastinated and waited until the last minute. It was nice to know he was just a phone call or email away :) He was also extremely flexible, it rained all night the night before our wedding, into the morning and with just half an hours notice I called Stuart and he said it would be no problem to move the wedding to the next day :) He made us feel comfortable and the ceremony was beautiful. Thanks Stuart!!!!

    Stuart Scott is the absolute best wedding officiant in St. Thomas! He made our wedding day a breeze. He was PROMPT, HONEST, and very PROFESSIONAL. If I had to do it all over again I would choose Stuart. When I first contacted him about our October 22nd wedding on Pretty Klip Point in St. Thomas he immediately followed up with an email including everything we discussed. He also allowed payments to be made and always followed up with an emailed balance. The vows that he had prepared for us were wonderful and he personalized them with history he obtained from my husband before the wedding. I was so nervous to trust someone so far away but everything was GREAT!!! When i doubt choose Stuart Scott

    My husband and I recently got married earlier this month at Lime Tree Beach and booked Stuart Scott as our officiant. We chose to customize the readings and Stuart was very accommodating. It was also a nice surprise for me to walk up to the alter and hear Stuart talk about our relationship, how we met, etc. Apparently he got some details from my husband before I walked down the aisle. The ceremony was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have imagined it any other way.

    I would definitely recommend Stuart as an officiant. My husband and I went to USVI to have a private wedding and had no idea what to expect with both never meeting him and wanting a low key ceremony, and he not only met but exceeded our expectations. He really makes you feel like you've known him for a while and that he is officiating for close friends. Would highly recommend him!

    If you are getting marred in the U.S Virgin Islands Stuart is a must! We got married at Lindquist beach on Saint Thomas. He met with my husband shortly before the ceremony to ask a few questions and go over some specifics. We went with the non religious vows and they were absolutely beautiful. He incorporated our story and made is seem like he was there to see it all happen. I was a little nervous about not having a rehearsal but Stuart did a great job of discreetly telling us what to do and when to do it. He even stood to the side so the photographer had better photo ops! Not only did we love him but our friends and family couldn't stop saying what a great job he did!

    Stuart was very professional and just a really nice guy all around. He met us at the site and got some information from my husband to incorporate into the ceremony. We did a mixture between the traditional and religious. He waited for us to get our pictures done and then took us back to our cruise. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We would definitely recommend him!!

    It felt like we had known Stuart forever! He created a ceremony that we never thought possible for a destination wedding. He had the audience and us laughing and crying at the same time. It is was such a special day that would not have been nearly what it was without him!

    We were asked which type of vows we would like to share since we did not have our own written. We just wanted a non religious ceremony and wanted to just go with the flow of what he has chosen for us. And we are so glad we did, the vows were beautiful, not too short but not too long for how scorching hot it was outside that day! Depsite how much everyone was sweating including Stuart himself he was so professional and helped us along each step of the ceremony!

    One of the best parts of our simple ceremony was our pastor!!! He was so funny an amazing to my nervous(possibly tipsy) husband. He had all of us laughing and crying. My day was truly made special because of him. My only complaint is that he's not here in Arkansas becuase he's that great!

    I need to be able to give this man 10 stars...he was everything...he set the flow for the whole day. My husband loved him, I adored him, my old church granny thought he was the best. He ran so smooth and so genuine and just so reassuring and captured the spiritual essence of the day which is what mattered the most to us. He was great with the little flower girls and....I just can't explain how much he will mean to us always. Then, he turns around becomes this impromptu wedding coordinator!!!! My goodness, it was awesome and just such a natural flow from him. My husband's grandmother couldn't make it last min (and she was supposed to be our officiant) and God deff sent an angel when He sent Stuart!!! God Bless you always!!!

    Stuart was a wonderful officiant for our destination St. John wedding! We booked him indirectly through our wedding planner, so we never communicated with him directly before the wedding, and still it was amazing. Stuart took the time before the ceremony to ask my husband about how we met, so the ceremony still felt personal and intimate. We were able to customize our ceremony by adding readings and creating our own vows and prayers, and Stuart pulled it all off beautifully - again without any prior preparation - we just handed him a copy of the ceremony when we arrived! He even helped smooth over a hitch when one of our readers was late to the ceremony. We knew it was a good sign when a local asked us previously in the week who was marrying us, and responded with "Oh yeah, he's the best" when we told him it was Stuart. I think he was right! I would recommend Stuart to anyone planning a USVI wedding!!

    If you need an officiant for your wedding in the Virgin Islands, Stuart Scott is definitely who you want. He married us on Neltjeberg Beach on April 14th, 2015 and was responsive to all questions I had before then. He puts you at ease from the moment you meet him and goes above and beyond to help make your day run smooth and be memorable. He knows a lot about the islands; everything from where to go to proper etiquette in the courthouse when picking up your marriage license. The ceremony was beautiful, had personal details, and the right amount of laughter / tears in all the right spots. He's a very genuine person with an interest in your day and you can tell that in the way he delivers a ceremony. We had a photographer for 2 hours and Stuart was kind enough to make an extra stop and get us water on the way down to the beach which was much appreciated! We even received our license within a week of the ceremony which was fantastic! Thanks Stuart for our unique and memorable experience.

    Stuart was the officiant for my vow renewal. We thought he was wonderful! He was very professional, cheerful and he put us at ease right away. He had some very lovely and inspiring things to say. I would 100% recommend him for your ceremony!

    Janelle from Island Bliss Weddings had Stuart as our officiant and we couldn’t have been more pleased. If I had to chose one moment that I loved most from our day, easily, it would be our ceremony. I loved our vows! My husband and I (ha, I can say that now!) had never spoke or met Stuart until our wedding day on 11/7/14… and from our first meeting, he was so personable and kind. He seemed to genuinely care about making our big day special. He did an amazing job at directing us and making our ceremony truly ours, heartwarming & memorable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    Absolute perfection! We could not have imagined anything better, Stu was simply amazing. Our experience was flawless (despite hurricane Gonzalo)! It was like having our ceremony performed by an old friend who knew us for years. We don't know how he does it but he does. He made our entire experience so personable and deeply meaningful. He provided awesome support from our first email contact; from obtaining our documents to putting us at ease through the storm, he took care of everything. We cannot thank him enough for our beautiful, lifelong memories! Thank you so very much Stu, from the bottom of our hearts!

    Janelle at Island Bliss Weddings set us up with Stu as our wedding officiant, and I'm so glad she did! He's a really nice and personable guy, and he made the ceremony so upbeat and fun. We first met and talked with him when he picked us up from our cruise ship, and he drove us to the court house and to the our ceremony site at Lindquist Beach. He chatted with us the whole way, plus gave us a bit of a tour en route to the beach and showed us a really beautiful spot called Drake's Seat. He also asked the groom several questions about how we met, pets we have, and things like that, and then incorporated them into the ceremony. My mother-in-law especially loved when he talked about our cats Orrie and Oleander during the ceremony!

    Our ceremony was definitely the best I've ever seen, and I'm not just saying that because it was mine :) Stu really made it personalized and everyone loved it. I highly recommend him!

    Stuart provided all of the necessary planning for our wedding in St. Johns, USVI. During the whole process he was very responsive to our questions and email requests. We felt very comfortable that the wedding would go off without a hitch and that is exactly what happened. His ceremony was personalized, thoughtful and perfect. We would not change a thing and would HIGHLY recommend Stu to anyone considering a wedding in the Virgin Islands.

    Stuart Scott is AWESOME!!! Stuart married my husband and I on February 22, 2014 at Trunk Bay in St. John, and we could not have been happier. We hired Stuart through his wife Janelle at Island Bliss Weddings. We couldn't have picked a better officiant.

    Stuart also picked us up at our villa, drove us to the beach for the ceremony, then drove us to Waterfront Bistro for dinner after the ceremony. It was awesome getting to chat with him a little bit before we got to the beach to get married. He's a friendly guy who is easy to talk to. His ride was really nice too!!

    Stuart did an awesome job with our ceremony. He pulled my husband aside before we started to have a little chat, and ended up adding in some personal info that made the ceremony super special. He even mentioned our kitty cats back home, which I thought was cute.

    If you hire Stuart for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!! Thanks Stuart for making our special day so smooth and easy going :) You rock!

    No need to look further, Stu is awesome! I did research online and thankfully found Stu, read the reviews and he sounded perfect for the job! He captured exactly what we were looking for and I only spoke to him a few times through email and one phone call. We could not have been happier and our family still talks about the ceremony! Thanks again Stu!

    We chose Stuart Scott as our wedding officiant due to all the positive reviews, and we are extremely happy to say that he certainly deserves all the accolades. He takes some time with you beforehand to get know a little bit of your story, and then incorporates it into the ceremony to have the personal touch. He makes the happiest day of your life feel like it absolutely is. His words are inspiring and bring joy about the sanctity of marriage. The ceremony was simply amazing, and everything we hoped it would be. Stuart helped us make memories that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Stuart and Janelle (wedding coordinator from Island Bliss Weddings) because they make a great team!

    Stuart officiated my wedding at Bolongo Bay (amazing place and wedding staff) on their beach. He was fantastic! He was funny and added personal touches from a conversation he had with my husband. We did a very nice sand ceremony with our moms, my step daughter and the two of us. He was very nice and easy to work with.

    From my first correspondence with Stu, I knew I wanted him to be our officiant. Stu was able to personalize the ceremony as if he'd known us for years -- brought tears to everyone's eyes.

    When our beach ceremony with just ourselves turned into a group of 25, Stu recommended the wedding planner, Janelle, at Island Bliss Weddings (who just happens to be his wife) - best decision I've made. Everything went off smoothly. This is the road to go if you're thinking of a destination wedding.

    Stu and Janelle make a fabulous team both professionally and personally! You won't regret hiring them.

    I was a bit nervous about having an officiate and ceremony by someone I had never met but by the end of our wedding day, I felt like I had known Stuart my entire life! Guests kept asking me who he was, thinking that he must have known me and my husband because the ceremony was so personalized to us. We booked Stuart through our wedding planner (Janelle at Island Bliss Weddings) and would highly recommend both to anyone! Tell Stuart that Kathy and Mike say hello!

    If we could give Stuart 6 stars, we would. He was so patient, flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process (we coordinated everything ourselves from the East Coast) and beyond. His ceremony was meaningful and touching, and his presence was calming on such an important day. He took care of everything from photography and flowers to assisting us with all the paperwork accompanying an international wedding between a US and a non-US citizen. Stuart is knowledgeable, kind, and all around great. He would be a perfect choice for your special day.

    I have to say that I really appreciated stuarts experience and professionalism. We were joining two families with our children acting as the wedding party. It was a magically day and I believe that Stuart was key in ensuring it was a success. He is like the perfect bridesmaid! He ensured we knew what to do and thought of many little details that I would have never thought of. He even went as far as to ensure my dress was perfect for the ceremony (remember my bridesmaids were 10 and 11). :-). Great guy!

    Stuart exceeded all of our very high expectations! He made everything stress free and went above and beyond the call of duty helping us make arrangements. In addition to personalizing our vows and making our ceremony unforgettable, he helped us with virtually EVERYTHING on our wedding trip including honeymoon suggestions. He even arranged a private boat charter to the BVI's for us. HIGHLY recommended!

    If you are getting married in the Virgin Islands, Stuart is your man!

    Thanks again Stu!!!

    My wife and I were married at the Ritz in St Thomas a couple of weeks ago. Stuart was absolutely amazing throughout the whole thing, I cannot recommend him enough. He walked us through the entire process before we arrived; took us to the courthouse to do the official paperwork and generally made us feel calm about the whole thing.
    We aren't very religious and Stuart's version of the vows was refreshingly modern yet deep and meaningful and it managed to bring tears to the eyes of many. During the ceremony he was an excellent guide and genuinely made all the nerves just disappear. He has a great working relationship with the folks at the Ritz and between them they made sure everything was absolutely perfect.

    Stuart S. married my husband and I on St Thomas, USVI on April 4, 2012. He is a very genuine and kind hearted person. He is very caring and professional. He makes you feel at home from the moment you step foot on the island. He and his wife Janelle are truly amazing. I feel the both went way above and beyond to make our day extra special and they will never be forgotten. Stuart and Janelle from the bottom of our hearts, thank you and really we cant say thanks enough for the incredible service you guys provided to us.

    My Wedding is actually still 3 weeks away but this review is a must because words do not describe how incredibly nice, helpful and thoughtful Stu Scott has been. Since contacting Stu about my wedding plans back in October I have been relieved and at easy planning my wedding with all of his help. His wife is actually a Wedding Planner herself so ask him about that if you need a planner( She's GREAT). Stu does not treat you as just another crazy bride that has a million and one questions. He is so helpful with every information you could possibly need to make your Wedding Day special. Trust that choosing Stu for your Wedding is the absolute best choice of your day beside your Groom of course :) I will post another review after my Wedding but I am 100% confident that Stu will make it just Amazing as I dreamed it to be.

    Stewart picked us up at our cruise ship and brought us to the courthouse to pick up our wedding papers. From the moment we met him, we knew this was going to work out great. He then whisked us off to the ceremony site on Megans Bay Beach.

    He made our ceremony fun, enjoyable and memorable. He personalized the ceremony and had guests giggling in their seats. Just what we asked for!!!

    Down the road when we plan to re-do our vows....Stewart and his wife (owner of Island Bliss Weddings) will be the first ones we call!

    We were so very fortunate to have Stuart preside over our wedding ceremony. His wife Janelle of Island Bliss Weddings assisted in planning our ceremony. Stuart was extra early to pick up my bridesmaids and I before the ceremony and allowed us to take our time to finish all last minute touch ups. Stuart had talked to my husband before the wedding to learn about our relationship. When he talked about us during the ceremony, he didn't miss a beat, it was like he has known us for years. We stuck to the traditional island vows and they were beautiful. Many of our guests raved about the way he performed the ceremony and some said it was the best ceremony they have ever been to. Will certainly request for Stuart to perform our vow renewal when the time comes.

    Stuart was awesome! Even though we only met him moments before the ceremony he made me feel relaxed, comfortable and performed the service as if he had known us for years. We received lots of compliments from our guests about Stuart's service! I highly recommend him!

    Stu was arranged as our officiant by our wedding planner so we didn't 'hand-pick' him... but we would have anyways in hindsight! He was great! I'm sure he is capable of any type of ceremony, but we wanted something that would match our personalities, and we wanted it short and sweet. He gathered some info from my husband before the wedding and used it to create a fun and sweet ceremony that we absolutely loved. It was very 'us' and had our families smiling and maybe tearing-up a little too. Hopefully someday we'll make it back to St. Thomas and we can renew our vows with Stu as the officiant!

    Five stars for Stuart, who was absolutely fantastic. He put both my husband and I at ease prior to the ceremony. The ceremony itself was absolutely lovely and had all of our guests in tears. Stuart was extremely kind and helpful, and seemed to genuinely care about making our big day special. Definitely recommend.

    We put a lot of time in looking for (and communicating with) many of the officiates and wedding planners on St. Thomas. Once we found Stu, we knew he was right for us. Nobody else was as friendly and responsive, and after meeting him I definitely understand why he has more positive reviews than any other officiant on St. Thomas.

    We're so happy with our choice, and Stu made our wedding personal and fun. He's charasmatic and funny, everyone loved him, and he arrived early and spent time with me discussing our relationship and history before the wedding. We requested a non-religious ceremony, which worked out very well. The vows were unique and wonderful, and the service itself couldn't have gone better. We are so fortunate to have found him.

    One warning - it seems like he's (understandably) very popular! We booked him about 4 months before our wedding and took the last spot he had available for the day.

    Stu did an absolutely wonderful job on a VERY short notice. My husband and I decided to get married in St. Thomas only days before our trip. Not only did he help us choose the absolutely perfect location, Saphire Point, but he hooked us up with others on the island to plan our entire weekend to make it special and certainly unforgettable. Since our families were unable to be there, he put our parents on the phone so they could be a part of the ceremony and hear the exchange of vows. He was able to find a great photographer, videographer, and a native to the islands to play the steel drums during the ceremony. He had a friend of his take us on an "island hopping" boating venture on Sunday; we went from St. Thomas to St. John, to Tortolla, to Jost Van Dyke and the "Soggy Dollar Bar" etc.. Scott Macomson was the captain and he did a great job. I can't say enough great things about our experience. -highly recommended. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact Jill or Nick from Destin, Florida, at 2 0 5 - 6 4 1 - 1 8 8 0 or 2 0 5 - 9 0 7 - 1 2 6 5 !! God Bless ; )

    Stuart was absolutely fabulous! My husband Mike and I got married last Friday at Pretty Klip Point, located at Sapphire Beach on St. Thomas. Mike and I decided to get married on St. Thomas just about a month ago, so we didn't have much time to get everything done, but when I contacted Stu everything just fell right in place. Not only was Stuart great but he also gave me a name of a videographer that was simply awesome to work with.

    Stu went above and beyond what I even expected from him. Since it was just my husband and I at the wedding Stuart made it a point to tailor the wedding to fit us. I loved how he included many of our personal details about our relationship throughout the service. We were both so impressed with how Stu remembered every little detail Mike shared with him and included the things that mattered to us most like our dog Bailey, friends and family! It made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

    To top things off Stu took us back to our hotel after the wedding, let us change and then offered to give us a ride to Megen's Bay! Along the way he was the best of host, telling us all about St. Thomas and stopping for us to take photos.

    I honestly can't say enough about Stu... I feel like he is a really genuine guy who lives life to it's fullest. Don't spend another moment looking for anyone else on St. Thomas, Stuart Scott is the best on the island.

    Stu married us on 1-1-11. One word to describe it- PERFECT! Stu included everything that we wanted and more. My husband and I ran away to the Virgin Islands to get married, leaving our 7 year old son at home (due to his disability it would have made it almost impossible to have him on the island). Stu made sure to mention our son several times throughout the ceremony, which was absolutely perfect. The day couldn't have gone any better. Stu was lighthearted, funny and yet serious at the right times. We can't imagine our wedding any different than what it was. Stu even went the extra mile to stop on our way back to the hotel to show us a cool view. He went above and beyond our expectations! Thanks so much, Stu!!

    We wanted our wedding day to be stress free and fun and that's exactly what we got thanks to Stu! He exceeded our expectations and most importantly made our wedding day exactly what we wanted it to be! He has a wonderful personality and made us feel comfortable as if we had known him forever. We could not be happier and would reccommend USVI Services to anyone looking for a great wedding officiant.

    I can't say enough about Stuart Scott! He was kind, calming, and charming. My guests, my husband, and myself all immediately felt at ease with him - as if we'd known him for quite some time. Stuart even added a few lines about how my husband and I met to make the ceremony more personal. He is completely comfortable with incorporating your unique traditions into ceremonies and very professional.

    Stu did an awesome job. My husband and I are not religious and asked him to leave that part of the ceremony out, he did that and personalized it to us and our lives together. He had a great back story for us, compliments of my husband, and make the ceremony so nice and memorable. His pep talk before the ceremony was very much appreciated and it was great to get a sense of his personality before the ceremony. He was fantastic and perfect for the type of ceremony we wanted.

    Stu was a fabulous officiant! He went was willing to work with me on any aspect of the ceremony and really went above and beyond any of our expectations! He even ended up helping pick up my family from the airport and later helped line up a sailing trip for my parents! He really knew what he was doing as far as having us stand in certain ways so the pictures looked good. I have to admit, I thought his preferences were a bit unusual at first, but it became quickly apparent that he really knew what he was doing. We could not have been more pleased! - Michelle and Doug Lamansky

    Stuart, we cannot thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into helping us get married on your beautiful island! It is obvious that you love what you do and we are extremely lucky to have had you as our minister. It was a perfect day that we will always remember, and it would not have been possible without your help. Also, Ava says thank you for the milkshake. I think she would have expired without it!
    Stuart Scott goes above and beyond! I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

    Stuart Scott was the most amazing minister. It was just me, my husband, and Stuart on our special day in St. Thomas. He delivered the most beautiful ceremony and he made us feel like he had known us for years when really he met us the day of our wedding. We took our wedding video back home to show at our reception and we received numerous comments that our minister was amazing. I would highly recommend him to marry you if you venture to St. Thomas.

    Stuart was great! He and his wife Janelle at Island Bliss made our wedding day easy and seamless from the moment we stepped off the cruise ship. The trip to the courthouse was stress free and we were shortly headed to the beach to get married. Our family loved his delivery and the ceremony was short but personal and lovely, just what we wanted. We recieved our documents in the mail shortly after we returned home and couldn't have been more pleased with the service. I highly recommend Stuart Scott from USVI Services as well as Janelle Scott at Island Bliss Weddings. Thanks guys!

    I can't say enough good things about Stuart. Weeks after my wedding, friends and family are still commenting on what a wonderful ceremony we had, everyone is asking us how we know Stuart, as they all think we must have been lifelong friends! He really does feel like part of the family, as he gets to know you a little before the ceremony by asking questions about how you met and where you had your first date. I was so touched by his thoughtfulness to include some really personal and lovely stories from our life together. I could not have asked for anyone better!

    Stewart is in our opinion the one and only officiant anyone would possibly want to make their wedding day top notch! From our first inquiry via email there was not a doubt in our minds that this man was the one we desired to pronounce us man and wife. We both desired a real down to earth type day. One that wouldn't break our bank, had a beach bar to have a few celebration drinks, and yet would be the most memorable day ever. Stu told us that he had the perfect site. Lime Tree Beach on St. Thomas. {Breathtaking!} We traveled with a group of eighteen. The Rev. referred us to Papa Bear from Airforce One to shuttle our guests to and from Lime Tree Beach. Papa Bear was more than a pleasure. He had the gang singing party songs along the transport route. People on the streets were singing and dancing along with us. Stewart referred my bride to a local florist to arrange flowers. Affordable and perfectly beautiful. For our guests we ordered several bottles of champagne for the toast. Our man Stewart supplied the flutes. He also recommended a photographer for our use. She was phenominal!!! As for the ceremony itself.... words cannot describe well enough how incredible it truely was standing barefoot in the Caribbean while Stewart performed the most perfect wedding. Our entire group was in awe and we still are. Stewart Scott gave to us a fantasy wedding. One that most couples would only dream about. You are forever in our hearts Stu!

    Rev. Scott married us recently and I highly recommend him to any couple planning to get married in St. Thomas. We used his wife for wedding planning services and he provided transportation for us from the cruise port to the courthouse then to the beach and performed our wedding ceremony. He had my bouquet and my groom's boutonniere with him, too. He was really friendly, nice, and had a great sense of humor which helped us relax and enjoy our special day that much more. We had a weather issue and he was great with helping us quickly figure out a plan B and keep the ball rolling in another (and in some ways even better) location. He performed our ceremony with beautiful words and is an articulate and pleasant speaker, you won't mind his voice on your wedding video!

    No stress what so ever throughout the planning of our wedding. Stuart was prompt to respond, give ideas, add or take things off the wedding, etc. He provided transportation, referred us to a beautiful wedding location and a wonderful hair salon. All around a great service to go with. Having the service like that makes me wonder how anyone goes through the extreme stress of planning a big wedding. It was overall just a relaxing wonderful adventure thanks to Stuart and his team.

    Stu Scott was personable and funny. He personalized the ceremony and even included a line about the Red Sox (DH's FAVORITE baseball team). He kept the guests in stitches. Like Joey from Friends said "You get a minister and an entertainer. A ministainer. There's no one better. There's no one greater."

    How did wedding planner make your day special? Janelle and her planning were fine, our problem was with her husband, Stu who we used for the officiant at our vow renewal. We had originally wanted to get married in St John, but were unable to, so after 5 years of marriage, had the "wedding" we'd wanted in the form of a vow renewal on Trunk Bay in St John at sunset. Janelle came highly recommended. I was very excited. When we got married, we were married in our home with just immediately family present and I wore a simple dress. This time I wore a bridal gown, had a gorgeous boquet of green orchids, had a private dinner at Caneel Bay, a gorgeous cake,and my family, my husbands family and extended family were all on St John for the ceremony, everything was the way we had wanted it to be when we'd gotten married in 2002. Stu took me aside before the ceremony and asked me for "sweet stories" about my husband. He took my husband aside and asked my husband what his pet peeves were about me. Not exactly a fair trade, huh? Now, my husband should have refused to answer but what he said was "she's messy" and Stu said "oh, so she's a slob? My wife's a slob too" My husband said "No, I didn't say that, I said she was messy" So during the ceremony, he goes through the "do you Joanna promise to continue to love honor and cherish Jim through richer and poorer, sickness and health?" and then he turns to my husband and says "Jim do you promise to continue to love honor and cherish Joanna through richer and poorer, sickness and health and POOR HOUSEKEEPING SKILLS?" Now, I don't know about you, but how would you feel if that was included in your vows during the ceremony that you'd planned and been so excited about and waited for and worked so hard to PAY for? How would that make you feel? Angry? Embarrased? Upset? Belittled? Humiliated? Check, Check, Check,Check and Check. You could hear my mother gasping and people were taken aback. It was completely uncalled for, I was completely humiliated. 2 sets of my husband's aunts and uncles were in attendance, who lives hundreds of miles away and have never been to our house, so they dont know that its not true, that our house isn't a total disaster. Yes, I'm slightly messy, but I"m not a slob my house is not a wreck, and I don't know if he thought he was being cute, but it put a black cloud over the whole experience and the memory. When I contacted Janelle about it, long afterwards, like well over a year later when I was still just seeing red every time I thought about it, I believe she told me that Stu didnt remember saying that but if he had he wouldnt have said it unless my husband had ok'd it. My husband is just as upset about it as I am, and he most certainly did not know he was going to say that in the ceremony. It was most inappropriate. And my husband has had to be the one to deal with the aftermath of an upset wife after the incident.
