We were married on Trunk Bay at sunset. Everything was perfect!...We re so glad we picked St. John as the place to start our life together!"- Kristina & Kevin L. (Bloomfield Heights, MI)

We'll all be back!" -Sherwood & Patty C. (Philadelphia, PA)
"I have to echo Steve’s sentiments about our week at the villa and the wedding itself. Great Expectations made everything so easy – all of our friends who stayed there with us just loved it. There was never anything we lacked – you and Chuck have really equipped the house well. From the kitchen supplies to books, island info to water toys, we were never in need. And the layout of the property made everyone feel they had privacy, while we still had plenty of room to gather as a group both inside and out. " -Carrie & Steve B., Warren, VT"...a word on the villa...a perfect retreat for both our families. There will be a wedding tonight on Trunk Bay beach and a reception at the Stone Terrace [Restaurant]...the villa is well-planned out for guests, right down to the pots & pans. You feel right at home the first day; a first-class operation! You get the Tradewinds from the east and sunsets to the west...There are may fine restaurants...but the main star is right here in the evening by the pool...We will take with us many happy memories of St. John and Great Expectations! What a beautiful place!"-Wayne, Debbie, Ryan, Heather & Wayne, Jr. [the groom] K. (Montauk, NY) and John, Marcy, Tracy & Jamie [the bride] A. (Hull, MA)
"We had a great time at the villa. We were so fortunate to be able to have our wedding in St. John and stay at Great Expectations.
