1. Licensed Courthouse Official
Get Legally Married
I, Island Mike, am a bona fide, licensed courthouse officiant. Which means, yours truly, is permitted to perform legal weddings anywhere within the boundaries and waters of the US Virgin Islands. So rest assured, you will be official and legal when I’m done with you.
2. Assist with choosing & reserving a ceremony venue
Beaches, Gardens and Jetties, oh my
St. Thomas is a gorgeous island. The highlights are the beaches. And 85% of my weddings are on a beach. 12% are at Pretty Klip Point a jetty near Sapphire Beach and 3% are at another venue such as a garden or dark alleyway. I’ll share all the spots and give my thoughts and recommendations. Most of the venues charge a site fee ranging from $100-$600+ depending on size and duration.
3. Fresh Tropical Flower bouquet and Boutonniere
Bright, vibrant tropical flowers
A standard size bouquet and boutonniere including gorgeous, tropical flowers. If you have colors you like just share with me and I’ll get the order in. .
4. Professional Photography
Amazing photos of your wedding day
Includes time with a professional photographer. The photographer will arrive prior to your ceremony and take a few establishing shots. Then as you (and your guests) arrive they’ll capture every moment of your ceremony. After the “I do’s” the photographer will take family and friend group photos and then couple’s portraits. The photos will be edited and you’ll receive the edited images digitally. You’ll have full ownership to print and share every image. An additional hour of photos is $500.
5. Assist with hiring additional vendors – Musicians, Cake, Videography, Chairs, Decor, etc.
I’ll make recommendations and assist with lining up additional wedding vendors
I work with all the available vendors on island. Some I can book directly for you. Others, including hair and makeup, bakers, and others I’ll make recommendations and you can feel comfortable knowing you are working with the best. 🙂
6. Arch & Aisle Provided by Styled in the VI
An elegant addition
Included is a rental, delivery and setup of a 2-post bamboo or copper arch from the island’s premier decor company Styled in the VI. You can also upgrade to other arches – circle, 4-post and others. Just let me know what you have in mind and I can get a quote.
7. Couple’s Champagne toast
Grab the bubbly
After the ceremony you’ll pop a bottle and the two of you will toast your marriage! Great for photos and for a quick buzz (as we know, almost everything is better with a buzz). 🙂 Or, if you prefer, we can do sparkling cider.
8. Bluetooth speaker and Music Coordination
Music is the soul of the ceremony
Even if you would like a live musician we’ll bring a powerful bluetooth-enabled speaker to play any playlist or song you create for your ceremony. We’ll also make sure the songs are played when and in the order you prescribe.
Other Goodies:
We can add just about anything to any of the packages. So I can line up chairs and have them delivered and setup before you arrive.
If you want a steel pan player I can make sure you have an amazing musician to serenade you and your guests.
So just let me know what you have in mind and I’ll make it happen!
Think of me as your wedding wingman
After years of officiating weddings (and observing behind the scenes) as a side hustle, I saw too many exhausted, stressed-out couples who definitely didn’t seem relaxed and stress-free: like they were on vacation. And I said to myself, “Mike, that ain’t right.”
So I took all my knowledge, put it in a bottle, and let it drift out to sea…
Just kidding. That would be crazy!
I kept the good parts that actually worked, distilled it, and replaced the parts that no one enjoyed with things that matter. Things like having fun at your wedding, having a stress-free day, and being able to choose your own details.
I also threw in things my couples didn’t know were options: like paying only for the services you want (instead of paying a premium for “included” things you don’t).
THE RESULT?
🗸 A PLANNING PROCESS THAT’S STRAIGHTFORWARD AND EASY, WITHOUT BEING LIKE EVERY OTHER WEDDING PACKAGE
🗸 A WEDDING DAY THAT IS PERSONALIZED AND FOCUSED ON THE DETAILS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU.
🗸 MOST IMPORTANTLY, COUPLES WHO AREN’T STRESSED ABOUT THEIR IMPENDING WEDDING, BUT INSTEAD ARE EXCITED TO CELEBRATE!
Heavy right? I know, I’ve got chills too.
You Might Be Wondering

02. Do you plan elopements, vow renewals, same-sex weddings?

Wedding Planning Advice
We think planning a wedding should feel less like a research project and more like skipping the line at TSA – with margaritas, that are frozen, with limes.
