Planning a Virgin Islands Destination Wedding: Other Considerations

Your Wedding Date

The best time for a tropical beach Virgin Islands wedding is the peak season, December to March. Keep in mind that hurricane season is between June and November with August and September prone to storms. If you want to get married during peak season, plan early because demand is higher. So are costs. If you want to avoid large crowds and secure better rates, April and May offer the perfect balance of great weather, fewer tourists, and more affordable rates. 

Virgin Islands Wedding Packages

An all-inclusive wedding package is a great way to plan a seamless, stress-free wedding. Packages include essentials like venue coordination, wedding officiant, floral arrangements, and photography. You can also upgrade with premium packages and extras tailored to meet your every wish and desire. Live entertainment, spa treatments, customized decor, and private beach receptions are available. Your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist understands how to navigate vendors and services to provide the seamless budget-friendly wedding of your dreams.

Marriage Requirements

It’s easy to get married in the Virgin Islands, especially for U.S. and Canadian citizens. There are no residency requirements, and you only need to arrive three business days before your wedding to complete the necessary paperwork. You can also obtain your marriage license right on the Island. Plan to show:

  • Valid passports
  • Birth certificates
  • Proof of marital status

Your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist can assist you with additional information.
