Well, a little update. Wedding planner got back with us, apologized, and is refunding our money. I must say, as mad as we were, she dealt with it the right way, and we are grateful. Catering, equipment rental, flowers, ect, all got booked this week. The people we have dealt with couldnt be more awes...

Well, heres the cliffs notes. I hadnt talked to her since late August, tried calling her cell and work, and emailed her numerous times. I had a week off from work to get stuff planned, and couldnt get a hold of her. She calls me back Tuesday, and gives this long story about she went to NY for vacati...

Thanks Capt Dan and Ruby, I appreciate the advice! We already have 2 villas booked in the Virgin Grand Estates, and look forward to exploring the island. Im still concerned about our planner, still havent heard from her in a month. Now we have 17 days to go, and were trying to scramble. All we think...

Yes. I did call the villa company, and the girl whom Ive dealt with, who is very nice btw, was on vacation. But I did let someone in the office know. Its unfortunate that its the planner they recommended though. I believe they are trying to get a hold of her too. Starting to do the planning myself n...

Well, a little update. We havent heard from our planner in almost a month. Its 19 days away, and Ive called her cell, business, and emailed numerous times. Her voice mailbox has been full except once. 19 days, and the only thing shes quoted us for is food. No flowers, no decorations, no alcohol, no ...

Sorry to add to this, but I too was wondering about this. Id be more interested in a day sail with a catamaran that'll fit 6-12 people, in October. Any suggestions? Ive briefly looked at S.Y.Orion, Scubadu, and Calypso.

Well, were wanting to use Stacy, but shes booked on the day we wanted, so maybe well do friday Oct. 7th instead. She has given som egood recommendations for villas, but when we called cateredto, of thew 44 villas they have, the most any one will allow is 20, including the wait staff and caterers. HO...

Yup, weve got the list. Thanks for the replies. Now looking for good wedding planner recommendations. Also, we may move it to October.

Well, anyone have some good suggestions for a wedding planner. I notice from the post above someone whom I shouldnt call.

Thanks again for all the great info. I think its time to find a good wedding planner instead of trying to do this ourselves. Were both older, and thought we could hack it, but its way harder than we thought, never have been to the USVI and all.

Thanks! Were actually planning for September 17th. But when you say the island is closed around then, we may move it.

We would like to stay around 10,000 for a villa or 2. Were definitely a little flexible, depending on what it is.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. Were shooting for September. We need anywhere from 5-7 bedrooms, so splitting them between 2 homes is ok, preferably close-by. All adults, no children. The north shore beaches look to be the best, but at this point, its not as important as having a place for the re...

Hi all, my name is Joel, and my fiancee is Kyra. Were having a wedding in St. John, and were looking for some advice on a villa. There might be about 40 people total at the reception, which we want to have at the villa. Weve never been to St. John, and arent sure exactly where to stay. Island stones...
