Wedding planner extraordinaire Sandy Malone helps to make couples’ dreams come true in the new TLC series Wedding Island. Set to premiere on July 17, 2013 at 10pm before it settles into its Thursday nights at 10pm time slot, Wedding Island is set on Vieques Island in the Caribbean and follows Malone as she coordinates weddings on the tiny island.

The Plot:

Vieques Island is known for its beautiful beaches, breathtaking views, and unfortunately, limited resources and supplies. For couples in love, it is the perfect romantic destination, but for Sandy, the only wedding planner on this remote island seven miles off the coast of Puerto Rico, it’s all business as she manages strict schedules, large crews, and endlessly complex details.

A wedding planner with a feisty personality and a “get it done” attitude, she is a bride’s only hope to having the perfect dream wedding. With the inherent obstacles of this tropical paradise, Sandy and her small “Weddings in Vieques” team, including her husband, SWAT team commander-turned-wedding-staffer Bill, must rely on vendors who set their watches to the unpredictable and usually lackadaisical “Island Time,” while praying for the mercy of not only Mother Nature, but often her demanding brides-to-be, who will stop at nothing to see their dream day become reality.

Each week, Sandy tries to pull off the impossible for two couples, sometimes on the same day. Whether she’s scrambling for limited supplies, rushing bridesmaids to the emergency room, ordering dramatic last-minute helicopter arrivals, or designing intricate parade floats, Sandy and team never rest until each and every couple gets the wedding of their dreams.
