Thank YOU all for making our day the most incredible and special day. Everything was perfect, and all of our guests were impressed by not only Little Palm but every detail and how amazing everything was. We’ve heard from many of our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you so very much. There is not one single thing we wished we had done or had gone differently. We also received many compliments from the guests on Little Palm when we were at the pool on Tuesday that they were taking photos and sending to their daughters for wedding inspiration. The Little Palm staff moved all of our flowers to our room so we were able to enjoy them throughout our stay there. We are so happy.

– Ali and James

Thank you and the entire staff at Little Palm for making our wedding so wonderful.

Your team start to finish truly creates not only a dream get away but a dream wedding too!

Special thanks to Renda who went above and beyond to help us. Also special thanks to Liz and Aziz who also make each stay special!

Our guests were all delighted and wowed!
Thank you!

– Jeannie

I just wanted to thank you so much for all of your help and organization for Rachael & Bryan’s wedding. It was beautiful and everything that they wanted! Kat was amazing too. She is such a sweetheart and was on the ball! We are so happy with the whole experience and absolutely LOVE Little Palm Island! I am so glad that we were able to make our little girl’s dream of getting married there come true!

Thanks again! We really appreciate it!

– Robin and the Laskey Family

Just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for everything you did to make our wedding such a success. Everything was superb and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Karen did an excellent job taking care of every detail. She really put me at ease, allowing me to stop thinking/worrying about anything. Our guests had an incredible time and I imagine will be reserving their future visit to LPI upon their return home.

Thanks again to you both and we look forward to returning and perhaps making this our annual anniversary trip!

– Thanks, Sheila

Kevin and I just wanted to thank you both for everything you did to make our wedding day so special! From the planning and organizing to managing everything the day of…every last detail was perfect and we could not have asked for more. We are both so amazed at how wonderful things turned out and are truly missing Little Palm Island already! Please thank Renee for me as she did such a great job with my hair and makeup, I couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out! Thank you again for everything you both did to give us the perfect wedding day!! We hope to return to Little Palm Island one day soon.

– Lindsay and Kevin

Thank you so much for all your assistance in planning and coordinating our wedding! I really appreciate your patience in helping us to add the little elements that made our day special. Eric and I truly had the perfect wedding and appreciate all of the hard work you put in to make it happen!
Thanks again!!

– Molly

Our wedding was absolutely perfect!! We could not have asked for anything more. I’m a huge fan of Julie’s! She was incredibly responsive and anticipated our every need from start to finish. And really everyone we worked with was great.

Thank you for all your help in the beginning and with the guest arrangements, etc. Also, the flowers you had sent to our room were beautiful! We will most certainly be back for many anniversaries to come and I suspect more than that. 🙂

My mom summed up the experience beautifully: “It was magical!”.

Thank you for everything!

– Jeff and Bob

We’re slowly coming down from an amazing high and deep appreciation for all that you did to make our time on LPI so special. From our first meeting almost a year ago, you have been a total delight to work with. Our guests (and we) were overwhelmed by your meticulous attention to detail and incredible hospitality. Everything was perfection… Your friendly, attentive and wonderfully professional staff, the sumptuous meals…EVERY one of them… The ambience and camaraderie unparalleled! Please know that it was a most memorable, special, once in a lifetime adventure for us all!

I trust you will pass long our most sincere thanks to all of your wonderful staff. You are the best!! We also thank you, Troy, for the lovely watercolor – a treasured memento!!
Best,

– Sally

Wanted you to know how happy we were with our stay there this week. Our wedding was perfect! We’ll be back next year for our anniversary. Again, thanks for everything. It was perfect!

– Nancy and Ike

Thank you for the most perfect day ever!!! It was all that we wanted plus much more – truly a dream. I appreciate all your assistance in making this day, one that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Once again, thank you for everything. With kind regards,

– Pat and Ern

We had an absolutely fabulous time!! Everything was perfect, including the sunset the day we got married!!

Tracy & I cannot say enough good things about Little Palm and especially the staff!! Everyone, and we mean every single one of them, just had these amazing, pleasant, happy attitudes (never a bad day), never too busy to stop and talk or answer a question, and were truly, truly a joy to interact with!!!

And of course, Kat was incredible!!! She did such a fantastic job, answering any questions, making us feel completely comfortable, accommodating any little (or big) change(s) we ask for. Tracy’s flowers were absolutely beautiful and looked even better than the pictures she sent. The florist matched what she wanted far better than Tracy imagined they could!! The special turndown services were perfectly wonderful!! Rhenda (and Kat) did a magnificent job of individualizing each one of them so that nothing was duplicated, even accommodating our wish for something other than the champagne.

Susan, Little Palm Island itself is fabulous but what makes the experience and will certainly keep us coming back is the staff!!!

We are so happy we chose Little Palm Island for our wedding and honeymoon!
Thank you for helping to make the experience special beyond our dreams!!!

– Paul & Tracy

You did a fantastic job and we could not be happier. The whole experience was fantastic. The attention to little details was outstanding. Letterhead – before and after. Door names – before and after. Little signs around resort. Staff were great and Karen was amazing. We were so relaxed and enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see the professional pictures. Have had many friends inquire about doing the same thing and we can’t speak highly enough.

We will be back!

– Robert and Kelly

We have attached a thank you note that we request you share with staff for our appreciation to everyone who contributed to our spectacular family honeymoon celebration.

The service philosophy employed by Little Palm Island personnel is extraordinary and should be considered a leader in the hospitality industry. Your resort’s exemplary service makes Ritz Carlton and Nordstrom, often referenced five star service leaders, look like junior varsity players!

Thank you, thank you, thank you…

– E & T

Where to begin? We are at a loss for words because of the unbelievably outstanding service your entire staff provided to us during our wedding weekend. From the moment we got to the island to the moment we left was absolutely breathtaking. The attention to detail your staff provides daily does not go unrecognized. Every single person on your team knew exactly who we were and treated us like royalty throughout the entire time we were there. All we can say is THANK YOU!!! We will never forget our perfect little, intimate and romantic wedding. It was everything we wanted and more.

We would like to send a huge thank you to Kat. She was an absolute sweetheart that managed to keep us calm during our most nervous moments. She made sure everything was perfect and always reassured us everything would be just as we wanted. Without Kat, our day would have never been as magical as it was. She is a doll.

Please send our sincere gratitude to Carol, Nancy, Diane, Julio, Belinda, Aziz, both Bob’s and especially Brittney for making this bride feel like a princess. Every single person we mentioned made our stay memorable. We left out a few names but please also thank the young man that coordinates the water activities, the entire staff at the restaurant and all the staff we never got to meet. Your entire team is just perfection!

Thank you again. We will forever be thankful and grateful to have chosen your hotel for our happily ever after…

With much gratitude,

– J and L

I can’t thank you enough for our amazing time! Everything from the hospitality of everyone, to our lovely suite and lush ambiance…it was just magical! Everyone from Rolando and Liz at the pool, to Davis, Liga and Patrick in the restaurant – everyone was so nice, so accommodating and so peaceful.

You have such a gem, that island. Adam and I were so relaxed, so happy, so present with each other. We will definitely be back! It was such a pleasure working with you as well!

– Sarah & Adam

Thank you for making the wedding that we had hoped and dreamed for. Our entire experience was so wonderful with you which made our wedding effortless, enjoyable for us and so meaningful. Our wedding day in paradise here at Little Palm Island is unforgettable. You as the wedding planner made it beyond what we had expected! I would recommend this place to everyone…but especially you as the planner.

Love,

– Karen and Keith

Jr and I had a perfect wedding day. Everyone was great. I have already recommended it to several future brides 🙂 I’m at a loss for words to describe Karen. She was AWESOME!!! She planned everything so perfect for me. It was truly a day we will never forget. Thank you for everything.

Regards,

– Margaret

I wanted to thank you for all your help in making our wedding so special. It was truly a perfect day and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to make Little Palm our wedding destination. I was wondering if you knew about how long it took for us to receive copies of the photos that were taken by the photographer. We are very eager to see those as you can imagine.

Again, thanks for all your help!

Regards,

– Brittany

Words, neither spoken or written, can describe the gratitude I have for you. You made the little girl inside of me dreams come true. Your attitude, grace, and care for me on my wedding day made it a very special occasion. Gonzalo and I want to thank you for all you did. My family was so pleased and had never received the attention given to them like on that day. Although there was not a lot of loud music playing, and your “typical craziness” that occurs in most weddings, there were lots of smiles, laughter, and love felt on that day. Thank you, YOU ARE THE BEST! See you on our one year anniversary 🙂

Regards,

– Margaret

My husband and I eloped to Little Palm Island in November and from start to finish our wedding day and weekend was perfect! Susan was our coordinator and answered all of our questions leading up to the big day and really put us at ease throughout the process. Dianna from the salon did my hair and makeup and it came out beautifully, she listened to everything I wanted and I couldn’t have been happier with the final result. Overall, the ceremony, the food, the staff, and the whole experience was wonderful and I would recommend Little Palm Island for anyone looking to elope or to just have a romantic weekend away.

Thank you again for everything and hopefully we will be seeing you soon!!

Sincerely,

– Lindsay & Doug

To the entire magnificent staff at Little Palm Island: Many may describe a vacation, a trip, or even a wedding as being paradisal — but they were not at the “real” paradise called Little Palm Island!!! There just are not words to do justice as it was truly a personal experience for me in every way – the wedding of my son and his partner, known as “The Misters”. The first person we met was Susan Howarth who took care of our car and luggage. She was so engaging, I liked her immediately. From there we went on the boat and were shown the grounds as well as our fabulous villa. Every staff member was so wonderful to us all..superior in all respects. The wait staff were all amazing. ..And the chef, whew, OMG, just stellar to say the least…and the decadent wedding cakes…Chef, you are indeed a genius!!! The sunset wedding was timed perfectly and lasted for all words spoken. As the sunset left our vision, there were many long reddish-pink pointed streamers in the sky. Love and nature “found” me as never before. I must return to your “paradise” to “get lost” again. Thank you for your most impressive organization of this memorable event that meant so much to all of us. Sincerely, Linda

My wife Merle and I have wondered for more years than we can count just what Little Palm Island has to offer. What to our pleasure was the receipt of our invitation to the wonderful weekend wedding celebration of our dear friends this past March 7-10. Our fondest fantasies of what we might experience paled in comparison to the marvelousness of our actual stay. The nuptials, of course, magnified and multiplied our experience of the place, but we would be remiss if we did not take a moment to mention the setting, the service, the sun-swept beaches, seclusion and surfeit of delights which awaited us. We look forward to our next stay at Little Palm Island.

– Daniel and Merle

Sherrie and I would like to thank you and the entire LPI team for providing us and our friends an extraordinary five days. We were sad to leave and will count the days until we make it back. It was far and above the best vacation we’ve ever taken. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

– Chip and Sherrie

Thank you so much for all your help and attention to detail in helping me prepare for our wedding at LPI! Everything was spectacular and way above and beyond what I dreamed of. The entire staff at LPI was amazing! We were so over-the-moon with all the attention to details. It will be an event we will remember and cherish forever! Our guests were also delighted with the whole event. My in-laws say they feel like it was a dream! Please thank everyone who helped us. I am sure that Rob and I will be back to celebrate. Hopefully, sooner rather than later!

Thank you again and again.

– Nerilda and Rob

If someone told me I could plan the most perfect wedding imaginable with one phone call I would think they were mad! But it’s true! You can! And it was flawless! Many thanks to you and your staff for creating the ultimate wedding. I’m not sure how you pulled off the perfect sunset that evening, but good work! A wedding on Little Palm Island is a treasure forever.

– Pam

Words can’t do justice for the experience that you created for Linda and I. Everything was better than I expected. I had approached this with the intent of doing something special for Linda. However the outcome was nothing short of an experience that neither of us will ever forget. The intimacy of the simple and perfect personal experience was what I could only have imagined, but the three of you created and made it a reality. Simple and perfect!!!!

Thanks to all of you.

– Ray

I was looking for the perfect spot for a small, elegant wedding within a very limited timeframe. The wedding experience at Little Palm Island met these needs perfectly! Susan Howarth was extremely responsive, and knew exactly what I was looking for after one brief phone call. Susan took care of all of the details, from confirming our desired wedding date, arranging for the Captain that conducted the ceremony, arranging for my hair, makeup and nails to be done on the property, arranging for a bouquet of tulips (even though they were out of season!) and ensuring we had the perfect table for dinner afterwards. Every detail was taken care of; we even had a congratulatory message on our dinner menu, and a “Just Married” sign by our room! We really appreciated all of the little details that made our day so special. And the best part was, there was zero stress involved for my husband and I; we just had to show up and enjoy the day. Susan was also kind enough to upgrade our suite; as a world-wide traveller and frequent guest of 5-star resorts, I have to say Suite #13 is one of the most stunning rooms I have ever stayed in. The room includes a private fire pit, jacuzzi, hammock, lounge chairs, outdoor shower….there are too many perks to mention!

Thanks to the staff and especially Susan for making this such a memorable, romantic experience. We look forward to coming back on our first anniversary!

– Cara and Ken

My husband and I recently eloped on Little Palm Island. We chose LPI because it has the feel of a remote Caribbean island but is in the United States, making it accessible for future trips and anniversaries.

There is only one word to describe our wedding experience: “Magical.” It was far better than anything we ever could have imagined. From the time we stepped foot on the Island until the time we left, we were in a trance of serenity, romance and joy.

Susan Howarth, our wedding coordinator (and now adopted family member), surprised us with an upgraded suite with breathtaking views of the ocean, sunset dock and hammocks and fire pits scattered along the shore. Outside of our suite hung a wooden sign displaying our last names – as if to welcome us home. Inside was a bottle of complimentary Champagne, fresh fruit, a handwritten card from Susan and personalized stationary.

The next day, we exchanged vows on the beach at sunset. Following pictures, we had a private dinner for two complete with rose petals strewn along the torch-lit sand, Key Deer as attendants and custom menus. It was a real life fairytale and a night we will never ever forget. Our honeymoon over the next few days was perfection to the last and tiniest detail. From the “Just Married” sign hanging outside our suite, handwritten cards and trinkets at turndown, stationary with our married name and amazing cuisine – including Chef’s creation from the red snapper my husband caught off the dock – to the first-class and unmatchable staff, we felt as though we were the only people on the Island.

When we had to leave and return to reality, our hearts were heavy. They lightened, however, when we got into the car and discovered a notecard summing it up perfectly: “Don’t be sad that it is over; be happy that it happened.” We are forever grateful to Susan and everyone at LPI for giving us the wedding and honeymoon of our dreams. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend LPI to anyone craving a respite in paradise.

– Jennifer and Frank

Our wedding ceremony and night were magical! The whole weekend was magical! We had THE best time! Karen was amazing, just like everyone at LPI. And, our accommodations… well, WOW. We truly cannot thank you enough for the upgrade. We will never forget that suite or your sweet gesture. Truly, my only regret is that we didn’t stay the extra day. What a mistake – just like you said! But, it just means that we’ll be back even sooner.

And, THANK YOU for all your seamless, amazing help and arrangements. From soup to nuts, it was a perfect weekend that Eric and I will never forget.

All our best,

– Catie and Eric

While this card is not nearly big enough to express our true and heartfelt thanks to all of you, it was important for us to acknowledge the wonderful and meaningful work you do, most of which is behind the scenes – but it does not go unnoticed and is felt by all your guests. Thank you for taking such good care of Evan, myself and ALL our guests during our wedding stay. We will forever be grateful for all you do.

THANK YOU!

– Amy and Evan

We just wanted to thank you and your team for all you did to bring together such a wonderful wedding. We’re already cherishing the memories, and planning many return trips to Little Palm Island to celebrate our anniversary as the years pass!

Tony and I would like to thank you for making all our dreams come true on Little Palm Island. It was truly a fairytale and something we will remember forever. The food, staff, cocktails, gorgeous scenery, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect. We are missing the special treatment everyday but can’t wait to visit you again in the future.

Love to you!

– Doree and Tony

We cannot thank you enough for all you and the fabulous staff did to make our wedding so special. We are still basking in the glow of our magical experience here and we will be for some time to come. Thank you for engineering our incredible day! And thank you very much to a few notable folks that without, our day and stay would have not been the same – Karen, Todd and Lizzie. You have a very special group here and we can’t wait to come back soon.

Heartfelt thanks,

– Gavin and Ivor

There are no words to say how grateful we are for you and Little Palm Island for making our wedding even better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to come back! 

This 4 day wedding week-end was a PURE DREAM. We had this dream and it became true…So many thanks. And it became true in a PERFECT way : everything came out right, outstanding, and you Susan, first, to be shared with all LPI’s team, deserve a standing ovation : not only were you open to any suggestion and idea … and we had some crazy fantastic ones over the stay … not only was the execution totally professional in all fields from set ups to cooking to music to all activities, team dedication etc …but you added on top of all that personal involvement, personal enthusiasm and affection. It makes all the difference!

Magical, wonderful and perfect – what more can we say? We cannot thank you and Karen enough for handling everything for us, the entire weekend surpassed our every expectation. See you for our first anniversary.

Little Palm Island was an amazing experience that exceeded all of our expectations. LPI even controlled Mother Nature for us (LOL). Much like everyone we met on the Island, we will be back.

I wanted to send you a well overdue message to thank you again for everything you did for us. I still can’t believe what a beautiful wedding we had, and we keep telling everyone it was all because of you. We plan on coming back to the island on our 5th anniversary and can’t wait to see you then. You are a gem. Say hi to the key deer for me!

I can’t thank you enough for everything!! I couldn’t have imagined a better destination for our wedding and honeymoon!!! The weather certainly was in our favor!!! We are looking forward to seeing the pictures, I can only imagine how beautiful they are!!! You and the entire staff of little palm were unbelievable!!!!!

I wanted to send you both an email to thank you for the most amazing wedding experience last week. In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined a more special wedding experience than what we had on Little Palm Island. Even with the rain, the day was wonderful, fun, special and amazing (although it was a little nerve-wracking when I heard the thunder). I have my fingers crossed on the wedding photos because of the rain, but I absolutely cannot wait to hear from Solaris and see the proofs/pictures. If they are half as amazing as Karen’s pictures on her smart phone we will be blown away! In case he emails me a large file and my email server here blocks it, can you ask him to send the proofs to my other email address as well?

Beyond the wedding, the Island was just beautiful. From the spa to the pool to the deer to the staff, every single moment was one to remember. I have already gone to the Noble House site to see how I can get the mattress and pillows like we had in the room! I think I slept the best sleep of my life on that bed!

Thank you again for all of your help helping us to plan the most important day of our lives – so far. It was wonderful!

Sincerely,

– Bernadette and Patrick
