Beautiful Real Destination Wedding in St. Thomas

If a picture tells a thousand words... a video tells a million more. 

This St. Thomas Caribbean Wedding was covered by High Definition Video LLC and featured on Vimeo. I think it shows the trend in wedding videography... no longer a simply collection of candid moments caught on tape, but a well edited masterpiece. Enjoy! 


St. Thomas is serviced by all major airlines, including United Airlines & American Airlines.

Why are destination wedding buffets so popular?

About 90% of my brides choose a buffet reception rather than a plated & served meal. While the later is more often associated with a formal affair and therefore a higher price, it is not price alone that fuels this decision. Destination Weddings often serve as family reunions and therefore, even the most civilized of guests has a hard time resisting the urge to mingle with relatives they haven't seen in years. As any catering company will tell you, a restless group of clients is a logistical nightmare when trying to serve a 4-5 course meal on schedule. Buffets solve that problem by keeping food warm and allowing guests to get up, move around, and eat at leisure. Sure, you can still assign seating, create fun place cards, and employ servers to assist with beverage service and the buffet line. So, if you are one of those brides who feels a buffet is not the perfect fit for your even, consider the facts above when making your decision!

Why is St. Thomas such a popular Destination Wedding location? Because of one tiny factor - you do not need a passport to visit the US Virgin Islands! This is a major consideration for some brides who don't want to burden their guests with any costs on top of the travel expenses.
