My husband I along with our 2 friends traveled to Aruba (Radisson) to celebrate our 20th Wedding Vow Renewals. I contacted the Radisson to make arrangements, but they were way out of our budget. I found Reverend Robert Gibson through some forums and was lucky to have contacted him directly. What a pleasure he was to work with!

We made all arrangements through email and he arrived precisely on-time and performed a beautiful ceremony for us right on the beach. It was amazing, super romantic and so full of spirit and energy.

I HIGHLY recommend Reverend Robert Gibson for renewing vows - and if we choose to go back for our 25th, etc., I'll be calling on him again!

My husband and I will be heading to Aruba in June to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I thought it would be a great idea to renew our vows while we are there. I have never been there before and my husband has been there many years ago. This is all new to me so I don't have any idea on where to begin. We are staying at the Paradise Beach Villas right across from Eagle Beach, which I hear is beautiful. I would like to have a special little ceremony with some pictures, but nothing outrageous and within a budget. I'm looking for some suggestions and contact information. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Andrea! I'll see what I can do. I'm very excited to do this and my husband seems to be getting into the idea too.

Shout out to Rev Robert Gibson . . . glad the renewal of your vows was so amazing and congrats on celebrating 20 years! I keep reminding my bride it is "til death do we part" and she keeps reminding me how easy that is to arrange . . . it keeps me on my BEST behavior (or behaviour for us Canadians) . . . LOL

Just another option. My wife and I stay at LaCabana and last year we renewed our vows on Eagle Beach and then walked the shore to our dinner at Passions. Our officiant was Geoffrey Banfield and our photographer, who also coordinated the event including reserving Mr. Banfield, was Jason Margarita. I can't say enough about both of them. Mr. Banfield was outstanding as was Jason and his staff.

I was finally able to secure Reverned Gibson for our vow renewal. We are currently conversing through emails to work out all the details. Thanks to everyone with all of your suggestions!

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows for our 50th wedding anniversary on the beach at sunset. It was such a special feeling as if we were getting married for the very first time. The ceremony took place on the exact day and date which made it even more meaningful. Please view the photos to see how happy we look

If you managed to get a Reverend already I would recommend Jason Margarita for your photography, and everyone agrees he is the best on the Island. He recently did my wedding and I received the 1st draft DVD this morning and the pictures are magical! He deserves all the praise he gets and I hope you are lucky enough to book him for your ceremony.
