St. Thomas & St. John

The US Virgin Islands, along with Puerto Rico, maybe one of the most hassle-free locations for a Caribbean destination wedding. There are several direct flights to St. Thomas (and St. John is only a short boat ride away), airfare is typically reasonable, the US dollar is the official currency, and mobile phone reception should be excellent. Because it's a major stop on many cruise lines' itineraries and is relatively developed for the Caribbean, St. Thomas might seem a little congested at times. Nonetheless, it is filled with natural beauty. While St. John is a little more difficult to get there, it is more rough, unspoiled, and higher-end, with fewer large resorts.

Visit Charlotte Amalie, the capital city of St. Thomas, to view historical attractions including For Christian, which was established in 1672, as well as duty-free shopping. St. John is recognized for its numerous and easily accessible snorkeling locations, including Trunk Bay, which includes underwater signs identifying the species, as well as its national parks, which may be visited through one of the many hiking paths or by renting a vehicle and driving through them.
