At Fabulous Ceremonies Aruba, we believe your ceremony is the soul of your celebration.
As an ordained, non-denominational, and interfaith Aruba Wedding Officiant, native islander, Rev. Dr. Franklin Croes crafts bespoke, story-driven vows and rituals that feel unmistakably you. We blend heartfelt writing with calm leadership, island expertise (light, tides, trade winds), and multilingual warmth (EN/ES/NL/PT) so every moment flows.
Our promise: meaningful, memorable, simple—and stress-free.
Let the ocean witness your “I (still) do”.
Your One Happy Ceremony starts here.
I craft your custom script and vow guidance; you approve every heartfelt detail. This bespoke process guarantees a ceremony that is entirely and authentically yours. You’re present, relaxed, and fully in the moment. I’ll guide the rest with warmth and grace, ensuring your celebration is the beautiful, magical memory you deserve.
Meet Rev. Dr. Franklin Croes
Officiating isn't just my profession; it's my heartfelt calling.
As a fully ordained Non‑Denominational and Inter‑Faith Minister, I have had the immense privilege of uniting over 608 couples in marriage and vow renewals across the stunning landscapes of this island I call home.
Why Aruba? As a native Aruban, this island's warmth, beauty, and “One Happy Island” spirit are woven into my soul. My passion lies in blending this authentic island charm with a deep, personal connection to each couple. I listen to your story, understand your journey, and translate your love into words and moments that resonate with heartfelt emotion and lighthearted joy.
Love is the greatest story ever told, and I believe every ceremony is a sacred opportunity to honor your unique chapter in that story.
Mission: To ensure your day feels personal, stress-free, and profoundly magical—leaving no detail overlooked and every heart touched.
