Villa Paraiso Azul in St. John

What Is A Destination Micro-Wedding

A destination micro-wedding in St. John, USVI is your essential wedding ceremony and/or celebration taking place at a special location or the villa itself you have rented, but on a much smaller scale then normally seen in your traditional wedding. Micro-weddings are made up of a small number of guests, so it’s less stressful to plan and provides you with a more controlled budget. A destination micro-wedding also provides the means to add even more personalization to your big day.

So, if you want a private St. John destination wedding but not all the hassle that can come a long with it, a micro-destination wedding is probably perfect for you. Many couples describe St. John as an intimate and romantic island and dream of exchanging their vows here. While some come to the adoring island to renew what they have already promised each other. A few of our villas can accompany up to 60 people, and others just allow you to enjoy the intimacy of exchanging vows in the presence of your closest family and friends with gorgeous backdrops and scenery for the most memorable moments.

What a Destination Micro-Wedding Looks Like

Our company, Unique Island Assets, manages 15+ villas located all over St. John. Feel free to reach out to us and let us assist you in planning your destination micro-wedding on our beautiful island. We insist on making it our job to help you execute a stress-free wedding day.

We recommend planning to arrive a couple days before your event so you can. spend a few days relaxing and having fun, but also have the opportunity to organize a pre-ceremony rehearsal dinner or get together with no rush.

On the day of the event, you should always plan to start early, because things almost never go minute for minute when you’re on “island time.” Starting somewhere around 9 a.m. with a planned brunch is the perfect way to begin your big day. We provide plenty of options for places to make reservations, private caterers and chefs, or provisioning services for a DIY approach.

We have multiple creative companies and designers that can create the most gorgeous brunch spread you’ve ever seen. Then all that’s left is you relaxing while the wedding spot for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all taken care of and set up. All a bride and bridal party need to worry about is getting ready and making incredible memories.

By 4:00 p.m., the wedding party should plan to be ready, and by 6 p.m. is when all your guests should plan to arrive. The magical moment everyone strives for is sunset, and as it can set quicker some days and weather can be unpredictable, a cocktail hour is suggested to help cushion your ever-changing timeline. This allows for extra time planned so that your guests can find your surely unfamiliar location and get settled in.

With the breathtaking Caribbean turquoise waters as a backdrop, cocktail hour is perfect for some daytime pictures before your ceremony as your friends and family are distracted with appetizers and drinks. Once ready the wedding party can move to location or into position at the villa for the ceremony.

After the newly Mr. and Mrs. say their “I do’s,” it’s time to celebrate at your reception!
