Island Weddings & Events is a full-service, full time wedding and events planning company. A personal pet peeve of mine are vendors who take days /weeks to get back to you... I will always get back to you in a timely manner and you are always a priority for me.

 

Every wedding is unique and I love helping each couple to fulfill their vision of their dream wedding. I've coordinated some great ones, from barefoot on the beach weddings to weddings onboard the cruise ships to the most elaborate weddings, weddings for 2 to 400 guests, different themed weddings......every wedding as every couple is different! I cant wait to see what you come up with.

 

I am passionate about what I do. I am gratefull to be able to make a living doing what I love. I am emotionally invested and supportive of each couple I work with. You can rely on me and I will go the exta mile. It feels great to be able to help and support whoever and wherever I can. 

Island Weddings & Events offers different packages for couples traveling on cruise ships; from the basic to the all inclusive. Evening/Destination weddings take usualy more time in planning and need different services, therefore different packages are offered. As each wedding is catered to your budget each packages can be costomized, fitting your needs and desires. You tell me what you want and we create it together!

The "Unity Sand" ceremony is a popular additon to our weddings. It origins from the salt ceremony or unity candle. The bride and groom each will have a vase containing sand; this symbolizes their families and group of friends. Together they pour the sand in a centervase; the sand grains combined, and unable to be seperated,  symbolized the unity and eternity; 2 groups of families and friends becoming one.

To book your wedding we do require a $500 non-refundable deposit. This deposit will be fully credited against your final bill. We accept all major credit card, bank cheques or wire transfers. No personal cheques are accepted. Once your wedding is booked and all services confirmed we will instruct you about further payments.

When paying by credit card please do notify your bank about your travel plans and to expect overseas charges.

Vendor services cancelled 3 weeks prior to the wedding date are subject to a cancellation fee.

In case your cruise ship cannot dock we will refund apart from services which had to be pre-prepaired such as flowers and cake.

If you are already legally married we can arrange for a symbolic wedding. For a symbolic wedding or a vow renewal service you will not need a special Cayman Island license and therefore can deduct US$250 of any package fee.

Once your wedding is booked we will send you a sample of the vows. Any ceremony can be personalized, we can insert poems, readings, sand ceremony, jumping of the broom, breaking of glass, bindi, hand ceremony, involve children .... 

You will meet with the officiant before the ceremony to discuss the details. Your ceremony can be non-denominational; if you like to insert a prayer or blessing the officiant will love to do so and it will be spoken from the heart. As each wedding and each couple is different so is each ceremony!

Yes, we can arrange for your wedding on Sundays or a public holidays. There are some restrictions as to music, additional fees for the minister and set-up/decorations and opening hours of venues. When I know the specific date I can give you more details.
