Transportation~ To Top
 

Here are a few ways to get to your island wedding:
st thomas taxi serviceTaxi Services:
You can have a van pick you up at your hotel or cruise ship, escort you to the court house to pick up your marriage licence, and take you to and from your wedding destination.
Rates vary pending on number of persons and length of time needed.

If you are coming off a cruise ship you should definitely pre-arrange a taxi to pick you up from the ship, take you to the court house and then to your wedding location (this will take about 45 minutes). It is not a good idea to arrive without your transportation set in place. There will be taxis when you arrive but they will be shuttling passengers in safari vans to popular tourist destinations and it will be a daunting task to find a taxi to take you to the court house and then to your wedding location.

You can have the taxi take you one way and arrange for that taxi to come back and pick you up at a pre-determined time OR you can simply catch another taxi when you are ready to go. You can also have the taxi that takes you there wait for you while you have your wedding but you will have to pay while the taxi waits.

Your wedding will be about a half hour to one hour depending if you are having photos and/or champagne. If you are going to a beach you may decide to bring your swim wear and stay at the beach for a few hours or the rest of the day. After your ceremony you can choose to go back to the court house to finalize your paperwork or you can have your minister take it back for you and you will get it in the mail. (see step #9 on the steps page).

If you are staying at a hotel or villa then you can arrange for your taxi at the front desk of your hotel when you get here or better yet, rent a car for your stay on island.

st thomas car rentals Car Rentals
If you will be visiting St. Thomas via cruise ship, we don't recommend renting a car for your the day. Getting your rental car, dealing with parking, and then driving yourselves to your wedding location can add unnecessary stress to your wedding day (we drive on the left!).

If you will be staying in a hotel, renting a car will save you money and give you the freedom to explore the island without the expense of using taxis on a daily basis. However, it is still a good idea to get a car with a driver to pick you up for your wedding, especially if you would like to have champagne. :)

Most car rental companies will deliver the car to you at the airport.
