Weddings in the US Virgin Islands
By Andrea Milam on 22nd March, 2024
The Virgin Islands, with breathtaking landscapes and laid-back vibes, have long been a coveted destination for couples seeking a romantic and unforgettable wedding experience.
Virgin Islands weddings are accented by gentle breezes rustling through palm trees, the sun sinking slowly into the ocean, and the soothing sound of waves lapping at the shore. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, this tropical paradise offers a myriad of options to make your special day one you’ll remember forever. With three main islands and numerous islets and cays, there are plenty of wedding destinations to choose from. St. Thomas offers bustling Charlotte Amalie and Magens Bay Beach for couples and guests who are looking for a more active destination wedding, while St. John’s natural beauty lends relaxation and stunning backdrops for your wedding day photos. St. Croix, the largest of the three main islands, beckons with a perfect blend of history, culture, and pristine rolling hills and beaches.
Venues in the Virgin Islands range from secluded beaches to luxurious hilltop villas overlooking the ocean. Planning a destination wedding can seem a daunting task, but a well-established wedding industry provides your pick of planners, caterers, photographers, florists, and everything you need to make your day exactly as you’ve always dreamed. Hiring a wedding planner is a smart choice. Let them handle the permits, logistics, and all the details, allowing you to relax and focus on your big day.
The vibrant culture of the Virgin Islands can add unforgettable flair to your wedding. Hire a steel pan player to bring island vibes to your celebration, and toast your new union with a painkiller, a signature Virgin Islands drink. An added benefit of getting married in a beautiful tropical paradise is that you can begin your honeymoon right after saying “I do.” Stay in the territory after you exchange vows and bond with your newly betrothed over snorkeling, hiking, and exploring historic sites, or simply relax on the beach and soak in the unparalleled beauty that surrounds you.
Say “yes” to a Virgin Islands wedding, and let the enchantment of this beautiful destination help you create memories to last a lifetime.
