st thomas transportation
Transportation~ To Top
Here are a few ways to get around the island and to your wedding.
 

st thomas taxi serviceTaxi Services:
You can have a van pick you up at your hotel cruise ship,escort you to the court house to pick up your marriage licence, 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 40 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 you in saffari vans to popular tourist desinations 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 45 minutes depending if you are having photos. 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. You can always get a taxi to bring you to your wedding location and find another taxi to bring you back when you are ready to leave. Remember that you should go back to the court house after your ceremony to finalize your paperwork (see step #9 on the steps page).

If you are staying at a hotel then you can arrange for your taxi at the front desk of your hotel when you get here.

st thomas car rentals Car Rentals
If you are staying on island at a hotel or villa we HIGHLY recommend renting a car or jeep while you are here.
This will give you the freedom to explore the island as well as get you to and from your wedding. If you are here for a week taxi rides will get expensive. Taxis charge per person not per vehicle. Therefore, to go just about anywhere you will pay on average $20 per couple one way and another $20 per couple to get to another location. You can rent a car for the whole day for what a few taxi rides will cost you.

Most car rental companies will deliver the car to you at the airport or your cruise ship.

Rates vary around $60 per day or $250 per week

st thomas photographers catching the memories.

We wanted to express how pleased and happy we were with the wedding at Magen’s Bay. Everything turned out wonderful, even better than planned. Our minister was just wonderful and so was our photographer. We had our 4 month oldhappy newly wed family daughter with us, and our minister and photographer were so accommodating. They really made our wedding that much more special. The ceremony was very touching and meant a great deal to us. The pictures were fabulous. The flowers were so fresh, beautiful and fragrant. The limo (Honey Bee Limos) with Buela was just great. She picked us up right there at the dock and took us to the courthouse and personally walked us in so we knew right where to go. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate all you did, to make our wedding day so special, and stress free!! It turned out so much better than I could have imagined. It was just so smooth and stress free and went so well. Thank you!

Melinda, Jim & baby Rachel
