No passport needed since St. John is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, all you need to fly is a government-issued REAL ID. Starting **May 7, 2025**, a REAL ID will be required for all flights within the U.S. and its territories. If you don’t have one by then, you’ll need a passport to board your flight.
To reach St. John, you'll first fly into Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in St. Thomas, USVI. From there, it’s about a 35-40 minute drive to the Red Hook ferry terminal, where you’ll catch the ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John, which departs every hour on the hour. Taxis are easily accessible at the airport for this drive, but you also have the option to hire a private taxi if you prefer. The ferry ride itself is a quick 15-minute trip, and once you arrive in Cruz Bay, the venue is just a short drive away.
The Hills St. John offers stunning accommodations right where the ceremony and reception will take place, with options for 2, 3, and 4-bedroom villas. We highly recommend booking directly by calling 1-800-727-6610. When making your reservation, be sure to mention the Adams wedding to receive a special discount. Booking directly ensures you avoid additional fees often associated with third-party services like Airbnb and guarantees the best possible rate for your stay.
No, you don’t need to rent a car! Taxis are readily available on St. John and can easily take you from The Hills to downtown Cruz Bay or to the beach. Just keep in mind that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft don’t operate on the island. If you’re not comfortable driving on the left-hand side of the road (a unique twist on island driving!), a taxi is a great option. The island's terrain is quite hilly with lots of switchbacks, so while you can walk to downtown Cruz Bay from The Hills, be prepared for a bit of a workout. For those who want to explore the entire island at their own pace, renting a car is a good option. For a more relaxed experience, taxis are the way to go!
To book your stay, contact Vacation VI’s reservation team. Nicole and Ginger will be happy to help you secure your accommodation, whether it's at The Hills or at the Marketplace Suites. Just call 1-800-727-6610. Be sure to mention the Adams wedding to receive a special discount! Again, avoid booking through Airbnb, as there are extra fees. Booking directly through Vacation VI will help you avoid those fees and guarantee you get the discount!
We adore your little ones, but we’ve decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this will give everyone a chance to relax, let loose, and enjoy the festivities. Thank you so much for understanding!
Since our wedding will be outdoors at sunset, we ask that you dress in "Island Fancy" – stylish and sophisticated, but comfortable, as it will be warm! No need for tuxedos or formal suits, but we encourage you to wear something that’s both stylish and sophisticated. For men, linen suits or linen shirts with slacks are perfect for the island vibe. For women, think summer dresses or chic, dressy attire. Dress for the occasion and embrace the relaxed yet elegant island atmosphere!
St. John is full of amazing activities to explore! From beautiful beaches to hiking trails and snorkeling, there’s something for everyone. For more details on what to do during your stay, check out our “Things to Do” page for recommendations and tips on the best spots to visit on the island.
