The U.S. Virgin Islands really make wedding planning easy-the hard part is deciding where to hold your ceremony!

Whether at the beach or on the patio of a beautiful villa, you won't find a more idyllic and affordable place to exchange your "I do's." Here's just a few of our favorite wedding destinations in the U.S. Islands.

Magen's Bay, St Thomas, USVI

Magen's Bay is located on the north end of St Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. In 2011, Magen's Bay ranked top of National Geographic's ten best beaches of the world. This pristine natural reserve prides of a lush tropical scenery and sugar soft white sands. It's an amazing horseshoe shaped bay, and boats are kept far off short so that swimmers can enjoy the calm waters. This bay is gorgeous at both sunrise and sunset, so you've got some interesting options when it comes to choosing the time of your wedding. The bay’s topography guarantees a minimum of waves and currents, making it a perfect peaceful location for a beach wedding.

Trunk Bay, St John, USVI

Trunk Bay, at the north end of St John, has been consistently voted as one of the best beaches in the world by Conde Nast Traveller. This lovely bay is one of the most picturesque places in all of St. John and all over the world. The bay's vista is complete with the lush green cover of tropical forest and a mountainous terrain, white sand beaches, and clear blue waters, and a serene atmosphere perfect for a romantic sharing of vows. We recommend a sunset wedding or weekday afternoon for maximum privacy. Be sure to check the cruise ship schedule so you can pick a day where tourists are a minimum!

Davis Bay Beach, St. Croix, USVI

On the northwest side of St Croix, you'll find the rustic and less crowded Davis Bay Beach. The seclusion that the beach offers is perfect for your dream romantic and peaceful beach wedding. The view here is stunning, with emerald peaks rising from pearly white sand and clear turquoise waters.

Also, sharing of vows in the U.S. Virgin Islands is recognized by the Government of the United States since its a U.S. territory. We recommend checking into one of the many wedding planners on island to make your wedding stress free and economical.
