Jason Sent on 11/26/2019Flawless 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. -

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. 💜 -

Robyn Sent on 05/16/2015Panning 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! -

Kelly Sent on 11/21/2011Tina Olive was our wedding planner for our destination wedding. She made everything so easy and stress free! Most brides are frantic months and days leading up to the ceremony, and I will have to admit I was close to the end but only because other people made me wonder if things were really being taken care of thousands of miles away! But after speaking to Tina the week of the wedding, I knew there was nothing I needed to worry about. When I arrived at Magens Bay for the ceremony, I noticed there were 2 other weddings about to take place. My photographer Eric Johnson told me the spot Tina picked was the best of the three spots. Apparently, Tina arrived at the sight very early in the morning to secure the location - smack dab in between two beautiful palm trees! The pictures are gorgeous! Tina took care of everything! the flowers, the cake, the food & drinks, the music, the videographer, the arch & the aisle. All of her hard work made my day wonderful and stress-free! All of the details came together to form the most perfect affair! Thank you Tina and to your crew for making my dream wedding come true! -

Our Perfect Wedding
Weddings the Island Way ensures everything was perfect! From months before, ensuring that the marriage license was ready to go, to the day of running to the store for last minute things, they helped us plan, prepare, and execute our perfect wedding day including a ceremony, sunset cruise, and 2 receptions! Thank you! Would highly recommend!!!! -

Erica @ Weddings The Island Way Far Exceeded Our Expectations
We hired Erica for my daughter's wedding on 6/7/19 and she was professional, detailed, creative, warm, friendly and experienced. She managed every little detail from the planning, wedding license, flowers, music, cake, beach alter and seating, and officiant. She supported my daughter through the pre-anxiety wedding planning emotions all the way through the ceremony. She is a delightful person to work with and we could not have been happier with her services. I highly recommend Erica and Weddings The Island Way! -

Clara Sent on 08/13/2018If we could, we would rate Weddings the Island Way much higher, but we could only give them a 5/5. We gave our travel agent a list of visions/wants/needs and she shared them all with Erica. We never actually came into communication with Erica until meeting her on the cruise port in St. Thomas an hour before our wedding. However, the minute we saw each, we greeted each other with great big hugs and kisses! It was like she was a cousin and/or friend and we have known each other forever. She drove us to the courthouse, while our guests went to Lindquist Beach via transportation Erica arranged for our guests. It was a HOT St. Thomas July day and refreshing water bottles were provided to everyone on the way to the wedding. Once we set foot onto the beach we got teary-eyed. It was EVERYTHING we envisioned; from the colors, to the location, décor; minister, etc. Erica knew us without knowing us; she was delightful to work with the day of the wedding and everyone she hired for us (steel pan player, photographer, minister, cake baker, caterer, bus drivers) worked with us and were all extremely pleasant. Our wedding was literally like something you only see in professional photos on the internet; in our eyes, it was perfect in every sense! We did had a hiccup with our plans; originally we were suppose to get married at Magen's Bay. We were very disappointed when we found out it wasn't going to be possible but once Erica explained to us why, she quickly had a back-up plan! She went to Lindquist Beach, took pictures from her phone to show us what Lindquist Beach looked like. It was comparable to Magen's Bay and end of the day, we became Mr. & Mrs. in St. Thomas, where we wanted our wedding to happen.
We felt like our wedding was the most beautiful beach wedding ever and we also felt as if we left that day with a new set of St. Thomas friends! Erica, Juliet, Rudy, and Angela, we are going to hit you up next time we are in St. Thomas!!! Erica, can't THANK YOU enough! -

Marisa Sent on 06/07/2018Weddings the Island way is the absolute best route to go if you’re planning your dream destination wedding on the islands!
I cannot say enough great things about the process of putting together my big day and the woman who made it all happen! Erica was able to accommodate every request I dreamt up and had a lot of great ideas to bring to the table as well. She made my fairytale wedding come to life and we could not have asked for a better person to do so!
Erica makes you feel welcomed right off the bat. Almost like a family member or friend rather than a company. You will be the best hands and trust me, Weddings The Islands Way will make your dreams come true too.
Thank you again for everything! I still look back and can’t help but smile and at how perfect everything came out. My husband and I are so grateful.
