Your wedding day can be spent snorkeling our colorful reefs or sailing our crystal clear Virgin Island seas.

Eloping to St Thomas or St John in the Caribbean is the ideal way to avoid the stress and expense of a big stateside wedding that may leave you exhausted before your wedding day. You will save money and time when you elope to the Caribbean and your family and friends can celebrate with you upon your return home.

Here's how it works - apply for your marriage license before you fly down to the US Virgin Islands. Pick up your marriage license in St. Thomas. The marriage license office is on the same highway as the airport. Take the ferry to St John from Charlotte Amalie or from Red Hook.

During your honeymoon vacation, Anne Marie will meet you at the beach, marry you, file your marriage license with the court and mail you a certified copy. This way your wedding can be about the two of you making your commitment to each other in a relaxed focused way rather then trying to meet everyone else's expectations. Leave your family history and politics behind and have a meaningful marriage ceremony on the beach with Anne Marie. You can float softly from your beach wedding to your romantic honeymoon.

"Because our families were not there, your genuine joy and serenity helped us to feel more enjoyment and security as we made our vows to each other. You are an angel - you captured our nature - loving essence and soul mate beliefs as if you had known us all along."

"The ceremony you performed was perfect, and all of our family and friends were most gracious and thrilled when they finally heard from us about our secret St. John wedding. The peace and love you brought to our vows has made a lasting impression that I want you to know how very special it was to have our relationship of three and a half years honored with such a beautiful special wedding."

"Thank you for the beautiful ceremony on June 6 on Jumbie Bay. Greg and I have been forever changed by that magical day. We were so happy everything turned out so beautiful, the water and wind seemed to embrace the three of us and I felt truly blessed. Your words and those vows were so moving I feel the need to read them every day.
Thank you again.
In love,"

From golden mornings, to sweet sunsets, to glorious full moons,
You Choose The Time!
From National Park beaches, lovely island villas, romantic sailboats,
historic sugarmill ruins, or quaint island churches,
You Choose The Place!

All island ceremony locations are exquisite.The weather is always wonderful, even if it rains, it's brief and frequently followed by a rainbow . Rather than a stressful, stateside production, your St. John wedding can be just for the two of you, with pelicans, turtles and maybe even a donkey. Unlike other islands, St. John is 2/3 National Park, where unspoiled nature is your wedding chapel.

Eloping to the islands for a Caribbean beach wedding is one of the best decisions you can make. Just ask your friends who have had a big stateside wedding production if it was fun and meaningful. Beach weddings in the Caribbean are the stress free way to go.
