Yes. I am Independent and Certified by the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada (WPIC)
My specialties include elopements and micro to medium-sized weddings, ranging from just the couple up to 150 guests. My focus is creating personalized, memorable experiences that capture the essence of your love story, whether it’s an intimate or slightly larger celebration with close family and friends.
I am not a wedding designer, (one who concentrates solely on the visual and stylistic elements of the wedding) but I can assist in identifying, communicating with, and coordinating designers and other vendors on island who can bring your vision to life.
As a wedding planner, I focus on the logistics and coordination of the event -the timelines, vendor management, budgeting for example.
I bring over 15 years of experience in planning, coordinating, and executing private, academic, and corporate events.
In 2018, I took on the challenge of coordinating every detail of my own wedding, which sparked the creation of The Scarlett Orchidea. Our wedding hosted around 120 guests, with nearly 60% traveling from overseas. I carefully arranged their accommodations, local transportation, and curated pre- and post-wedding activities, allowing our guests to fully enjoy the beauty of Antigua.
When needed, I collaborate with a trusted network of experienced vendors and professionals to ensure each event is flawlessly executed and meets the highest standards.
In addition to being a certified Wedding Planner, I have a strong background in Business, Finance, and Public Financial Management.
This expertise is invaluable when it comes to setting realistic budgets, carefully managing expenses, and ensuring that every investment delivers quality and value for money.
My financial acumen ensures your wedding is not only beautiful but also cost-effective and well-organized.
All packages currently listed are available.
At this time, we specialize in partial wedding planning, consultation, and month-of coordination.
While full wedding planning and coordination are not available as standard services, certain elements may be included through our customizable Vanda Magic Red Package.
We can discuss these options in detail during your free initial consultation to tailor our services to your needs.
Please note consultations are currently done on Saturdays and Sundays.
A booking link is available on this website for your convenience.

Yes, I am happy to collaborate with international travel agents to enhance the destination wedding experience in Antigua and Barbuda for your clients.

I do not offer rental services directly. However, I can help identify and coordinate with local vendors to source the items you need for your special day.
No, I do not accept payments from vendors. Vendors are selected based on their merit, including the quality of their service and their reputation. All contracts are directly between the vendor and the client. This approach ensures that The Scarlett Orchidea is solely focused on your best interests, not influenced by vendor relationships.
Currently, same-sex marriages cannot be legally performed in Antigua and Barbuda.
While our primary focus is on couples living abroad who are planning a destination wedding in Antigua, we do consider local weddings on a case-by-case basis.
