Meet Kay-Annie - Bermuda Wedding Planner

Kay-Annie Reid-Young, a Jamaican national, has been planning weddings and events for 11 years. She joined 9 Beaches in 2007 and already has planned more than 20 weddings at the resort.

9 Beaches provides a stunningly beautiful backdrop for that special day in couples’ lives. Kay-Annie helps couples determine how to make their 9 Beaches’ wedding perfect for them. “But what is most memorable for me about the weddings I have planned for 9 Beaches are the stories of the couples themselves,” says Kay Annie.

Prior to joining 9 Beaches, Kay-Annie had become one of the most sought after wedding planners in the Cayman Islands. She has been featured on the Travel Channel’s “Weddings Away” series, as well as Destination Cayman magazine and several bridal publications. She received her certification from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Kay-Annie’s Tips for Prospective Brides and Grooms

- Know your date and approximate number of guests before you plan
- Know that all questions and ideas are welcome
- Make the wedding your dream come true (not someone else’s) and have fun planning

Bermuda Music Festival

The Bermuda Music Festival was a hit! Four spectacular nights of music from perfomers such as The O’Jays, Chrisette Michele, Lionel Richie, Natasha Bedingfield, Smokey Robinson and Earth, Wind & Fire, and was hosted by comedian Steve Harvey (again) because boy, is he funny!

Guests Angela Thomas, Barbara Devine, Gwyn Jones, and Audrey Burgher came to Bermuda from Philadelphia, PA for the first time ever to see the Bermuda Music Festival, and their favorite performer - Smokey Robinson!


They loved 9 Beaches and can’t wait to come back again for next year’s Music Festival. Their favorite part? Listening to the water as they fell asleep in their cabana.

Making Friends is Easy at 9 Beaches

Whether adult or child, it just seems so easy to meet new friends at 9 Beaches. Why do you suppose that is? Perhaps it’s our relaxed and ultra-casual atmosphere.

Jenny “Sunshine” Gould (age 6) and her brother Jonathan (age 8) from Boston met up with new friend Colin Smith (age 9, middle) on Windward Beach, a great gathering spot for kids. The children were supervised by Jenny & Jonathan’s mother Kerry who was just off camera relaxing on a beach lounge and reading a book.

A quick survey (with a sample of 3) proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that kids love 9 Beaches. Best liked features in order include the beaches, cabanas, freedom and food.

PS - It won’t be long before they are all grown up like the lads below. Enjoy the youth while you can. See you soon.
