She was very knowledgeable of the island and shared this information freely. Upon meeting her we knew everything was going to be perfect. She is so sweet and genuine and loving in nature. She was able to find words for the feelings in our souls when even we couldn’t. We would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married on St John. They say she’s the best because she is.”

We felt a deep connection to you, to the earth, to the universe, and, most importantly to each other. We vow to do our best to follow your advice and wisdom to honor each other and be kind to each other all the days of our lives.

We have fallen in love with St. John and hope to visit again and again.

Until then, with much love, blessings, and Thanks!”

Dear Anne Marie,
“Since being home we’ve been to two traditional weddings. In both cases, the bride and groom told us they wished they had gone on a destination wedding. After telling them how stress-free everything was the women admitted they were a little envious. You made our big day so memorable, and beautiful words can never express how graciously humbled we are. You exceeded our expectations by far. Thanks again and all our blessings.”
Mr. & Mrs. Peter Grasso

We try to tell everyone the special meaning that was shared between you and the newly married couple and the people in attendance…And you really are an ANGEL.”

Ben & Alane Merriman
Minnesota

“When Dave and I came to St John via Windjammer cruises, as you said you would, you met us at the dock and immediately put us at ease. We had been somewhat stressed by the wedding plans made with someone we had never met. You had also called us back promptly more than once when we called you from the states in a panic over some questions we forgot to ask. The trip to the courthouse in St Thomas to get our marriage license went exactly as you told us it would. For all of this, we are so thankful to you.
We got married on Hawknest Beach and it was absolutely breathtaking and we thought the Island Beach ceremony was beautiful. We could not have asked for a lovelier spot in which to get married or a more beautiful service.

We came to the island by ourselves to get married but never would we have believed that we would leave feeling as if we had had a dear friend performing the ceremony. You truly have a calling for the services you perform and the gift of yourself you gave to us was more than we could ever have expected. Saying thank you hardly touches on our gratitude. You made our wedding wonderful.
Thank you so much, ”
Dave and Diane King
Fort Worth, TX

Your warmth, your sincerity, and the fact that you didn’t read from a book made us feel that it was a special ceremony for you as well. The ceremony felt so personal and we felt connected with you. The beginning of the ceremony when you had us close our eyes was particularly intense. Here’s how I’ll always remember it:
As I felt the sun and the gentle breeze on my face, I closed my eyes and heard the waves behind Ann Marie’s soothing voice, the sand on my bare feet while I held the hand Of the man I would spend the rest of my life with -And I just thought This day could not have been any more perfect.”

“Stephanie and myself wanted to thank you for the beautiful ceremony on July 12th. It was a real pleasure getting to chat with you and being able to share that moment with you. We really loved how you listened to us and incorporated some of our stories into the ceremony. Anyway, we just wanted you to know that we were both so happy with the way everything turned out and we loved our stay in St. John.”
