About the couple

Kristal & Brittany, a vibrant couple from Pennsylvania, dreamt of a Curacao wedding that was more than just a ceremony; they craved an experience. A celebration infused with their unique personalities and punctuated by unforgettable moments.  Imagine their dismay when their dream venue, a charming boat, suddenly disappeared just four months before their big day!  With time slipping away and stress levels rising, they entrusted their vision to Caribbean Blue Weddings.


And oh, what a rescue it was!  Our team of expert planners swooped in, calming their anxieties and weaving their dreams into a breathtaking reality.  We understood their desire for a wedding that was truly them, a reflection of their vibrant love story.  From securing a picturesque new venue to orchestrating a symphony of unique performances, we ensured their special day was nothing short of spectacular.


Kristal & Brittany's Curacao wedding became a testament to resilience, love, and the magic that happens when the right planning team steps in.  Their story is a reminder that even amidst unexpected challenges, a dream wedding in paradise is always within reach.



About the couple

Gaëlle & Jeroen's love story kicked up a notch when they got engaged in August 2022, and they wasted no time in setting their wedding date for October 2023! With Gaëlle's roots from Curacao and Jeroen from the Netherlands, their wedding planning journey was an exciting blend of both cultures reflected in every choice they made.

Their wedding was a delightful fusion of fun and flavor, featuring Caribbean-inspired food with a twist, embracing a Fall theme amidst the tropical vibes, and a mix of music that harmonized both their backgrounds. It was a celebration as unique and vibrant as their love story!

About the planning

Kristal & Brittany's Curacao celebration was a whirlwind of vibrant energy and personalized touches, a true testament to their unique love story. They envisioned a wedding experience that unfolded like a captivating story, with each chapter revealing a new delight. And oh, how we delivered!


From the moment guests arrived, serenaded by the smooth sounds of a saxophonist, to the lively cocktail hour accompanied by a talented guitarist, the atmosphere was electric. As day transitioned into night, a DJ took the stage, keeping the dance floor alive with infectious beats. But the real showstopper?  Carnival dancers and mesmerizing fire breathers, igniting the night with their incredible performances!


Orchestrating a wedding with so many moving parts is no easy feat, but the result was pure magic.  Their chosen color palette of black, white, and emerald green set the stage for a striking aesthetic. Lush white and cream florals intertwined with pampas grass created an elegant contrast, while flickering candles of varying heights added a romantic glow to the long table setting.


And the pièce de résistance? A color-coordinated dress code that brought the whole celebration together! Guests shimmered in emerald green, the wedding party glowed in white, and our stunning brides, Kristal & Brittany, radiated in classic black. Every detail, from the entertainment to the decor, was a reflection of their love, creating a truly one-of-a-kind wedding experience.



About the planning

The choice of ceremony location held a special significance as Gaëlle had fond memories of swimming at Avila Beach Hotel while growing up. Embracing a Caribbean Fall theme, the color palette featured rich burgundy, burnt oranges, and soft peaches.

Lighting played a crucial role in setting the mood and paying homage to the stunning locales. At De Gouverneur, the ambiance was transformed by the enchanting glow of fairy lights, suspended from the center fountain, casting a magical aura. Continuing the Caribbean Fall theme, mason jar centerpieces adorned wooden slabs, complemented by delicate gold votives, adding a touch of rustic elegance to the celebration.

Review 

Our wedding planner, Gigi, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We initially planned our wedding ourselves, but in December, our venue/boat disappeared. When our original plans fell through just four months before the big day, she stepped in and saved the day. Gigi's communication was prompt, professional, and genuine, making us feel valued and understood throughout the entire process. She asked all the right questions to bring our dream wedding to life, and her transparency with pricing ensured we stayed within budget, even with last-minute changes.

Gigi's choice of vendors perfectly matched our personalities, and her entertainment recommendations were spot-on - our guests had an unforgettable time, especially with the fire dancers and DJ. Gigi exceeded all our expectations, bringing our vision to life with grace and precision. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, leaving us free to enjoy every moment without worry. From the stunning decor to the delicious food, every detail was perfection.

If you're planning an event and need someone to reliable, attentive, and creative, Gigi is the one to call. We couldn't have asked for a better planner, and we're forever grateful for her expertise and dedication.

Review 

Ghislaine has lifted all the stress off’ our shoulders by planning every step of our wedding day as well as activities before and after the wedding. This included transport to and from the airport, arranging special rates and a room block at the wedding venue and excursions around the island by bus and boat.

Ghislaine has also made a mood board to share her vision while incorporating our wishes for our big day. All vendors and communication was taken care of without any hassle. Special shout out to the dream team of vendors Ghislaine gathered for us. From the location to decor, live music, food, cake & sweets, photographer and videographer, and hair & make-up!

Our wedding day was everything we’ve dreamed of and more. Thanks a million, Ghislaine!
