"Hi Katie Shea, Now that the dust has settled and we are back to our lives (missing St John!) I wanted to take a moment to let you know what a fabulous job you and your staff did for our welcome party as well as our wedding. We couldn't have asked for better service and the food was amazing. All of our guests had very positive things to say about Katilady! To say that you all were "on point" would be an understatement. Being in the service industry myself, I tend to be a critical judge of other's service, but you definitely exceeded our expectations and for that I want to thank you. If ever in need of a reference, we would be very happy to offer one! Hope you are well and aren't dealing with too many "bridezillas!" Thank you again. P.S. Almost forgot to mention the cake...that cake was the best cake we have EVER had in our entire lives! Tell the pasty chef that he/she is doing something right!"

Ceremony Locations |
||||
| Beaches | ||||
| Annaberg Sugar Plantation | ||||
| Available for a wedding ceremony of up to 60 guests. Annaberg is the remains of one of the 25 sugar factories which were active on St. John. Besides sugar, molasses and rum were also produced by Annaberg. The name Annaberg means "Anna's Hill" which refers to the infant daughter of William Gottschalk, a plantation owner from St. Thomas. The ruins are maintained by the National Park and the site can be rented through KatiLady. Inquire for site fees, usually under $200. |
|
|||
| Cinnamon Bay | ||||
| Cinnamon Bay is also located on the North Shore within the National Park. It is the longest beach on St. John offering fantastic coves and inlets that are perfect for a wedding ceremony. We encourage early morning or late afternoon weddings to avoid the crowds. |
|
|||
| Gallow's Point | ||||
| This spacious waterfront suite property has three beautiful locations for a wedding ceremony. There are two wedding gazebos and an open grassy space in the landscaped grounds. All locations have beautiful views of the water. |
|
|||
| Hawksnest Beach | ||||
| The first beach on the North Shore Road followed by Caneel Resort is Hawksnest Beach. This is a beautiful location within the National Park offering less crowds and more shaded spaces for bridal parties. The out cove on the far end of the beach near the rocks is a perfect site for a romantic Caribbean wedding. Parking is usually available and pending the north shore swell the beach can be perfectly suited for a ceremony with up to 50 guests. |
|
|||
| Oppenheimer Pavilion | ||||
| Rich in history and a popular local beach, Gibney Beach plays host to Oppenheimer Pavilion. The pavilion is rented through the Parks and Recreation via KatiLady Events, Inc. and makes a wonderful location for rehearsal and welcome dinners. This is a great venue for small and large groups alike. Suggested for events that want a laid-back beach party setting. |
|
|||
| Trunk Bay | ||||
| Deemed “Most Beautiful Beach In the World” by National Geographic Society, Trunk Bay Beach is located on the North Shore. Beautiful waters and wonderful white sand keeps Trunk Bay the most popular beach on St. John. Trunk Bay is part of the National Park and is the only beach on St. John that has an admission fee. Fees are collected from 8am to 4pm, which makes us suggest a wedding later in the day. The beach is a popular stop on tour itineraries and can get very busy on days when there are several cruise ships in port on St. Thomas or anchored off of St. John. |
