Reverend Dr. Kathy Hurley - St. John Virgin Island Wedding Consultant

Kathy has been a resident of St. John, affectionately referred to as "Love City", for over a decade. She spent 20 years island-hopping between St John, Key West, the Bahamas & Manhattan, but finally settled into what she now calls paradise.

In New York, she was an Executive, Manager, and Director for one of the nation's leading telecommunications and entertainment companies serving the metropolitan areas of Boston, New York, and New Jersey. She became an expert in special event planning and facilitating seminars for 1,000+ people. Her former career was the perfect stepping stone for becoming a leading St. John VI Wedding Consultant.

Kathy is an ordained non-denominational minister and Doctor of Divinity. She offers a diverse array of ceremonies, wedding traditions, and special touches to meet the needs of her clients on one of the most important - and memorable -- days of their life. Kathy's goal is to create a ceremony that is meaningful for you and reflects your personal taste. She will consult with you on the telephone or in person to ensure you have as much or as little to do with the planning process as you'd like. After all, this is your day!

With her inside knowledge of the island, Kathy will gladly share her network of photographers, videographers, florists, caterers, musicians, bakers, and any other resources that will make you and your guests feel at home. back to the top
