USVI Wedding Budget? - Page 2

Thanks Ashleigh! Did you use the photographer she offers? I think if I am going to keep a low budget on the ceremony/reception, I want an awesome photographer to capture all the good stuff! I was looking into flying in someone, but they will cost just as much as everything Angela offers!

I looked in the thread about budgets... I really didnt find any info about ppl who had weddings in the USVI.

I really wished there was a budget section for each location area with its own forum Thread. Like one for The Islands, Jamaica and for each section listed of Mexico. It makes it easier to find something IMO.

We used St. Thomas Wedding Transfers | Air Force 1 Fun Island Tours and Beach Trips for guest transportation. The driver was awesome and the guests really enjoyed the ride.

THANK YOU!! How many guests did you transfere? I got a quote for $16pp, I don't know who the company is though. Just curious what it ended up per person..

Thanks!

You can start a budget thread for your location and if nothing else you and the other brides from your area can help the next bride with the info you've compiled :o)
