From Producing Concerts To Building an Ultra-luxury Travel Agency: Here’s an Inspiring Story

By John Stanly

With a laser focus on the most delicate details, Blue Sky Luxury Travels offers its elite clientele personally cultivated dream vacations and corporate retreats at the world’s most exclusive private islands and villas, including Necker Island, Laucala, and Mustique. Their specialty for world-class service includes yacht and jet charters, dining experiences, booking concerts & events, and concierge services.

Using the services of Blue Sky, you will be doing good and blessing our planet’s less fortunate animals as the company donates a percentage of its profits to Caribbean animal shelters through her nonprofit Blue Sky Relief Foundation. She also started Blue Sky Global Logistics to support disaster response, including rebuilding efforts following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. April 2010, Shanna Dickerson had been in Nashville, TN, for nine years in the music business producing major concerts, music festivals, and corporate events. She produced the most prominent artists in the world, but she was losing her drive for the music business. So on April 27, 2010, she sold everything, downsized into a couple of boxes & moved to St. John, US Virgin Islands, to start a business. Everyone told her that she was crazy, but it’s good that she doesn’t listen to most people! She went with her intuition. Once on St. John, she got a job as the live-in property manager, thanks to country music star Kenny Chesney, at the Peter Bay Beach House. It was a trade deal. She lived there for free, drove the owner’s car, and in return, managed the villa & rental guests. But she was broke from spending most of her savings to relocate to St John and was struggling to make ends meet. Therefore she figured out one way she could make money would be to provide provisioning services for guests coming to St. John. It started with one villa. Then she had four villas. Then something happened that changed her life forever.

Shanna Dickerson has truly created a world-class travel company. Here at Blue Sky Luxury Travels we are happy to help book your vacation or corporate retreat, host you at the world’s most exclusive private islands and villas, and curate a bespoke travel experience. No request is too big! If you can dream it, Blue Sky can help you book it.

Forbes released their "23 Best Places To Travel In 2023" and guess which island from the Caribbean made the list at #8?!……..The British Virgin Islands!

American Airlines also announced a new direct flight from Miami (MIA) to the British Virgin Islands. Starting June 2023, the BVI will become much easier to visit!

There are so many great ways to explore the BVI. Blue Sky can help you book an island hopping vacation on a sailing yacht/motor yacht. Or, if you prefer to stay on land, we have great private island/resort recommendations. If you choose a land trip, we can also book a day charter, so you can get a taste for exploring the islands by boat.

With all this said, there are options for beautiful ceremonies and large receptions! Consider the following venues for a wedding on St. John.


Calichi at Picture Point

At Picture Point, you are able to rent the entire complex. The rooftop deck on The Tower Villa makes the perfect location for a ceremony. How special to exchange your vows on the highest point of St John with 360 degree views of the surrounding islands!

The area can accommodate seating for 30 guests and can be followed up with a poolside reception. This can include cocktails by the pool, a dinner (seated or buffet) in the al fresco dining area and a dance floor and DJ booth.


Estate Lindholm

Situated about a 10-minute walk from downtown Cruz Bay, the adult-only Estate Lindholm offers boutique accommodations on the site of a lovely, 18thcentury Dutch estate. The lush, green landscaping and remnants of the original buildings provide a feeling of elegance, seclusion, and historic charm. All 16 homey, island-style rooms can be rented for your wedding party! Each room has free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and private balconies.


Gallows Point

This resort is well suited for large weddings! Gallows has two lovely venues to choose from with water/sunset views and both can accommodate up to 120 people. Booking a group of 5 or more rooms requires a five night minimum stay and all event catering is provided by their onsite restaurant, Ocean 362.


The Windmill Bar

The Windmill has a beautiful location for the wedding ceremony and reception. Lodging is not on-site, but their wedding team is full-service. If you’d like, they will coordinate transportation, lodging, excursions, hair and makeup, the rehearsal dinner, marriage license + officiant, flowers, photography, food including wedding cake, and entertainment.


The Westin St. John Resort & Villas

The Westin has 47-acres of lush land on the shore of Cruz Bay. With so many different rooms and villas, all wedding sizes can be accommodated. Whichever option you choose, The Westin will be sure to deliver an elegant and comfortable experience for your wedding guests.
