Paradise Planning Paradise Planning provides Wedding, Event and Vacation Planning Services in the US Virgin Islands. Upon her arrival on St.

Michelle (Fage) Cawthron of Paradise Planning moved to the Caribbean in early 2011 after having spent over 8 years living in Los Angeles. While working for the ESPN X Games, ASA Events, Mercedes Fashion Week and celebrity stylists, she was privy to the requirements of anticipating high profile client needs. Her extensive knowlege of wedding and event planning comes from planning and executing nume

rous events around the country as well as around the world. John, she immediately went to work for local wedding planners. In her time on island, she has close to 40 weddings and events in her portfolio of work. Michelle quickly learned that her approach to wedding and event planning is very different than what was and currently is being offered on the island of St. John and made the decision to start Paradise Planning. You have a vision for your wedding or special event and Paradise Planning will do everything to realize that vision. Michelle's experience with traditional stateside weddings, as well as destination weddings, has helped her understand what the “Modern Bride” is looking for on her special day. She loves designing and creating an event that meets and even exceeds your expectations. Of course there are obstacles to planning any destination wedding or event, and Michelle's role is to help you every step of the way and to ensure that your day is YOUR day! Think of her as your friend, not your “planner”. Contact Michelle at (310) 968-3789 or [email protected]

Returning to work after a few breaks the last month, I have had some time to reflect on 2025 so far and WOW, It's been a GREAT year!! Very grateful for so many amazing weddings and events. And many more to come!

I am even more grateful for some of the sweetest clients I have had the honor to work with. The Planner/Client relationship is so important and when you click with couples and their guests, it makes their weddings even more special to me, personally.

Anna and Tommy's gallery arrived to me overnight and I am in AWE of the magic that Brooke Heikkila captured.

I cannot wait to share more of this wonderful wedding but for now, here's a pic beautiful bride just sent to me that brought a smile to my face

Also, shout out to .d.sa (great action pic!)
and the whole crew at Lovango for making each event wonderful!

Truly blessed to be able to do what I love for work and to have so many talented vendors join in on the magic!

There are some wedding days that are dreams that come to life in front of your eyes. Roxy and Brad's Wedding Day was one of those ones!

Arriving to an island that was set up for the most magical ceremony was literally something out of my dreams on what looked to be a cloudy, May morning.

The sun broke through those clouds and the sky turned blue just in time for the Ceremony.

Roxy and Brad--your love is amazing. Your friends and family are even more amazing. Forever grateful to be a part of your love story and to now call you friends.

Cheers to Roxy and Brad! And shout out to ALL those who made this day one of the absolute best weddings ever!!!

✨ When the sun shines bright, so does the bride! 💍☀️ There's something incredibly chic about a bride rocking her favorite pair of sunglasses on her big day. It’s the perfect blend of elegance and fun, adding a unique touch to her bridal look. Could you imagine a more fabulous way to stay cool while soaking in all the love? ⁠
