Eloping To St. John USVI

"You made us feel right about the decision we made to elope. We are so grateful for that"
Greg & Kerin Hiem

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. Ferry Schedule

"You made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we felt as if we'd known you forever. It was romantic and beautiful and we appreciate you and your service and your thoughtful manner.
You gave us a memory for a lifetime and we haven't stopped raving about how amazing our elopement was."
Aliza and Neil

Trunk Beach

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."

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.

At first, the former Francesca Pellerano thought she wanted a big wedding. "We had originally planned a big hoopla wedding," she recalls. After some reconsidering, Francesca and Andrew changed this plan. "I did not want my day to be stressful and we agreed to do it our way," she adds. "We had an elopement!"

The Ceremony itself was held on Trunk Bay Beach and presided over by Anne Marie Porter. Francesca wanted a "very casual, elegant and still kind of sexy feel. A lot of brides are really scared...but be brave and do it," Francesca encourages."
