Before you arrive in Grand Cayman we will arrange a time and date for the first meeting. You will be given telephone numbers to contact us should any questions arise during your stay on the island. When you will be travelling on a cruise ship, time is at the essence and you will meet the minister and coordinator about 30 minutes prior to your ceremony. Please note that most email correspondence will be done with Desiree Evans, but it will be her or one of her colleges assisting you on the day itself.
