Why St. Croix?
St. Croix is a wonderful blend of our sister islands, offering a laid-back charm that still boasts many options for your wedding. Historic ruins and churches, sugar mills, beautiful beaches and elegant private estates on which we have specialized in planning events for years, just to name a few. Opportunities abound for intimate group outings and activities.
Do I really need a planner?
If your vision for your wedding day is something special and memorable to you as a unique couple, then yes you need a wedding planner. While the resorts and hotels can provide some wonderful space usage assistance and food and beverage services, their banquet and sales staffs are not equipped for the personalized details that a wedding requires. They also will not have the time for continued one on one communication with you or your various vendors. That is why a dedicated planner is imperative. Timelines, special inventory, vendor communication, it should all be handled by your wedding planner. A special day requires special planning!
