Caneel Bay wedding - let the dream come thrue
Weddings at Caneel Bay are generally held on grassy Turtle Bay Point, which overlooks Turtle Bay Beach. The reception and rehearsal dinner can be held at any of the resort's restaurants or in the sugar mill ruins. The resort's staff works with local photographers, videographers, florists, and entertainers to create customized events. Bouquets can feature tropical or traditional flowers, and the musicians can play any type of music from classical to calypso-reggae. Wedding cakes, created on-site, may be white, hazelnut, red velvet, lemon, rich chocolate, yellow, or coconut, with fillings ranging from cappuccino mousse to chocolate Caribe, flavored with mangoes, papayas, and rum. Couples looking for a simple affair can opt for the resort's Casual Elegance Wedding Package, which includes arrangements and fee for officiant, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, champagne or wine, a 6" one-tier wedding cake, Turtle Bay Point location fee, and site coordination. A three-night minimum stay is required for wedding couples. The U.S. Virgin Islands are increasingly popular as a wedding venue. Each island boasts wedding consultants who work hand-in-glove with resort hotels, and take care of everything from airline tickets to flowers. Although there are some independent small consultants, we have found that the best deals are arranged by a specialist at one of the resort hotels. Among the favorites is included Vera Payne at Caneel Bay on St. John. Marrying in the U.S. Virgin Islands--No blood tests or physical examinations are necessary, but there is a $25 license fee, a $25 notarized application, and an 8-day waiting period, which is sometimes waived, depending on circumstances. Civil ceremonies before a judge of the territorial court cost $200 each; religious ceremonies performed by clergy are equally valid. Fees and schedules for church weddings must be negotiated directly with the officiant. The guide Getting Married in the U.S. Virgin Islands is distributed by U.S.V.I. tourism offices; it gives information on all three islands, including wedding planners, places of worship, florists, and limousine services. It also provides a listing of island accommodations that offer in-house wedding services. Couples can apply for a marriage license for St. Thomas or St. John by contacting the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands. Marrying in the British Virgin Islands--There's no requirement of island residency, but a couple must apply for a license at the attorney general's office, and stay in the B.V.I. for at least 3 days while the paperwork is processed. You'll need to present a passport or original birth certificate and photo identification, plus certified proof of your single marital status, including any divorce or death certificates pertaining to former spouses. Two witnesses must accompany the couple. The license fee is $110. Local registrars will perform marriages, or you can choose your own officiant.
