VILLA NORBU

Recite your wedding vows on Villa Norbu’s stone Eden Grotto overlooking St. Thomas’ turquoise waters. Pose for photos surrounded by lush foliage, then ascend the steps to join up to 80 guests for a champagne toast at an elegant reception with gorgeous views. Place settings and printed menus that match your theme, dancing, event programs, twinkling lights and flower-filled arches are among the touches you can incorporate into your special day. Several destination wedding packages are available, accommodating anything from an intimate celebration for an eloping couple to a more elaborate affair with a delicious catered meal, custom cake, flowers, DJ or live music, and even carnival dancers. Villa Norbu can also arrange a coordinator to help plan your day, a professional photographer to capture images, assistance with filing for a marriage application and more. Ask the concierge team for recommendations on nearby lodging.

THE HIDEWAY AT HULL BAY

Gather family and friends for a private destination wedding at The Hideway at Hull Bay. Choose to tie the knot under a pavilion, on a lush lawn, at sunset on the beach or with a hillside view overlooking Hull Bay. Explore the peaceful estate that includes Hideaway Farm, which grows herbs, fruits, flowers and vegetables. You can even choose to get married surrounded by banana and palm trees in the farm’s tropical garden. The Hideaway team uses its own farm-to-table harvest to create wedding menus, whether it’s the after-the-ceremony meal, group breakfasts or to mix up farm-to-glass cocktails for a reception. Two three-bedroom villas and eight cozy cottages, accommodating up to 36 guests, are just steps from the beach. Your group is welcome to use the pavilion for gatherings, in addition to taking dips in the pool.

SAND DOLLAR ESTATE

Imagine your oceanfront wedding festivities with views of Magens Bay from verandas and a pool deck at the gorgeously appointed 2.5-acre Sand Dollar Estate. Walk down a flight of stairs to reach the private beach, where a wedding planner will ensure that your shoreline ceremony matches your vision. Afterward, wander the grounds, posing for more keepsake photos with gorgeous greenery in the background. There’s room at the estate for your entire bridal party — 30 people in all — to stay in luxury in the six-bedroom main villa, three-bedroom guest cottage and two bungalows. The on-site private chef and impeccable staff will take care of all your requests, with a mission to surpass expectations each day. Couples and guests can get ready for the big event with spa treatments like massages, hairstyling and nail services at the rooftop Sand Dollar Spa.

THE RITZ-CARLTON, ST. THOMAS

The name The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas conjures images of opulence, and with good reason. Schedule your dreamy destination wedding at this stunning resort that overlooks the aquamarine waters of Great Bay. The expansive property offers every luxurious amenity imaginable. Hold your ceremony in the pavilion, courtyard or terrace overlooking the bay. Indoor and outdoor spaces can accommodate receptions ranging from a small group of 20 people enjoying Caribbean breezes in a beachside gazebo to 350 guests in an exquisite ballroom. As day turns to dusk, guests can enjoy a spectacular sunset, no matter which venue you pick. The Ritz-Carlton staff helps plan each detail, arranging everything from elaborate meals to ocean view suites with terraces, bridal party facials and group sailing tours.

BOLONGO BAY BEACH RESORT

Bring your wedding party to Bolongo Bay Beach Resort, an all-inclusive 65-room sanctuary made for making memories. The intimate setting offers a perfect palette for the resort’s romance director to help you plan the ceremony and all activities during your stay. The a la carte packages for parties of up to 20 people let you customize your event and itinerary. Whether you choose a beachside ceremony or exchange vows on a sailboat, everything can be provided. There’s no need to worry about an officiant, bouquet, boutonniere, music, chairs, champagne or a cake. Your attendees will be mesmerized by the Caribbean Sea views from their guest room balconies. But it won’t be hard to get them together for fun activities like a bonfire, snorkeling, kayak races or just lounging around the pool.

SECRET HARBOUR BEACH RESORT

There’s a wedding package to match your desires and budget at Secret Harbour Beach Resort, where you can relax on a beach sipping umbrella drinks while watching sailboats bobbing in Nazareth Bay. The Bare-Bones package is just that, and includes a room upgrade, beach site fee, and the services of a wedding coordinator and officiant. Those who upgrade to the top-tier Ultimate Beach Wedding in Paradise package can invite 50 guests and receive photography and videography services, live music, a DJ, hair and makeup artistry, a cake, flowers and more. Choose to use the on-site Sunset Grille for your reception, rehearsal dinner or day-after brunch on an open-air deck overlooking the water. The resort’s individually owned condominiums, ranging from studios to three bedrooms, include full kitchens ready to cook a fresh catch. Be sure to take in local experiences — visit the dive shop to book a water excursion or explore the shops and restaurants of Red Hook, just one mile away.

THE WESTIN ST. THOMAS BEACH RESORT & SPA

Trust the certified wedding planners at The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa with the arrangements for your special day. The 392-room resort hugs the shore of Morningstar Bay, offering panoramic views of the aqua waters. With 85,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, venue options for a wedding ceremony include one of the 20 indoor spaces, on the beach or in the elegant gazebo with panoramic views. Several customizable packages include tailored menus featuring coastal cuisine and drinks for brunches, dinners and cocktail hours. Select one of the open-air restaurants to take advantage of the Caribbean breezes and ocean views. Whisk your group away for a sail on the resort’s Flying Frenchman catamaran, take a snorkeling trip and unwind during a couples massage in the spa. Or simply relax with a drink from the Edge Bar in a poolside cabana. You can also walk to the sister property next door, Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove, to dine and enjoy more shared amenities.

VILLA BOTANICA

An exquisite Villa Botanica wedding offers your own tropical paradise atop a mountain, where guests are welcome to stroll leafty pathways through the manicured property. The hard part is deciding which enchanting setting to choose for your ceremony. The hilltop lawn boasts sweeping views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. After the ceremony, gather at the pool for cocktails, then host a reception in the dining room with cathedral ceilings and archways offering garden and water views. In the garden venue, the site of a former sugar plantation, opt to say your vows to the soothing sounds of a waterfall, or choose the poolside stone terrace with ocean views. Enjoy alfresco dining after the ceremony. As the sun sets and your celebration continues, gaze below as the lights begin to twinkle in bustling Charlotte Amalie.

MUSE

Host your wedding guests at a first-class venue in the heart of Charlotte Amalie. Walk the cobblestone streets to reach Muse, where history meets sleek design and the latest technology. A wedding concierge can help you plan the perfect day for 100 seated guests, or 240 standing for a reception. They’ll supply a list of local vendors, including caterers, florists, photographers and entertainment, although you’re welcome to choose your own. Ask about the outdoor patio for additional activities. You’ll want to step outside the venue for a photo session using the city’s colorful buildings as a backdrop. During their stay in St. Thomas, your guests will want to return to Charlotte Amalie to visit the many downtown shops and restaurants.
