Travel

St. John is the smallest and most idyllic of the three US Virgin Islands, and is often referred to as "Love City" (how romantic is that?!). It is best known for its many white sand beaches, turquoise bays, endless vistas of green velvet hills....and now the location of an epic wedding weekend with our friends and family! Planes and taxis and ferries, oh my! Because St John is so small, there is no airport on the island. To get there, you need to take a quick (and beautiful!) 20 minute ferry ride. All the travel details are below, but please feel free to reach out to our wedding planner, Mary Bartolucci (mary@islandstyleweddings.com) with any travel related questions. Mary's lived on the island for over 21 years and is a wealth of information and a local expert! She will also be sending an email out to offer her help/services particularly around booking accomodations on the island. There are many housing options and she can steer you in the best direction for your needs.

Best for couples, as the rooms are not that large, the hotel is walking distance from the ferry dock and most other attractions in Cruz Bay.
