[VJMR101010]

Hi all!! I am new to this site ... ive been looking around some and I could REAALLY use some help!!! Im getting married on Oct 10th of this yr in St Thomas at Frenchmans Reef Marriott Hotels resort.

 

Has anyone personaly stayed there? How is the beach? Which places would you suggest for a welcome/rehersal dinner? How about fun activites outside the resort? Our budget is pretty small but I was wondering if I could find a less pricey place for the welcome dinner and or also the reception following the ceremony. I was thinking of doing the reception at the resort where everyone will be all inclusive anyways.

 

Any and ALL help would be MUUCCH appreciated!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!

First off congrats on your wedding! I was a guest off a cruise at this resort and it's gorgeous!!! I can't speak to any of the questions you asked other than to let you know how beautiful it is. I know my friends who were married there spoke highly of the people they worked with. Best wishes!

Congrats Vanessa!! I will be staying at the Frenchman's this August..for about 5 days. We are thinking of getting married there next August so I have some information! haha I have some of the Marriott reception prices and packages if you want to see. Also contact information for the Marriott as well as Havana Blue! Have u gone to their website yet? The food and drinks look amazinggg! They have some good options for cocktails and dinner service. I have the wedding coordinator there Kate Atwell her information so just PM me & lemme know!

congrats. you will find lots of information on this site, use the search button and search your resort. This has helped me a lot. Because sometimes there are threads with people who have had experiences but that are not active.

 

Cheers. happy planning.

Hi Vanessa,

 

I featured a st thomas wedding on my blog and here are a few pics

 

This is Havanna Blue which looks amazing for a reception or welcome dinner

 

 

 

 

 

The bride used Island Bliss Weddings Wedding Planner St Thomas Wedding Planners St John VI Wedding Venues Planning for on site WC for the day and I have heard a lot of great things about them

 

Here's the website for Havanna Blue HAVANA BLUE - Passion - HavanaBlue story

 

and she used DJ Eric Snow Eric Snow DJ At Large | Mobile DJ Services for St Thomas & St John who according to the photographer the party went on late into the morning because everyone loved him so much

 

Elisha Orin www.elishaorin.com was the photographer and she lives in St. Thomas. I love her work, she took the above pics of Havanna Blue and below of the Water Front Bistro.

 

I also featured another wedding where the guests all stayed in St. Thomas and for the reception went over to St.john to the Water Front Bistro, the menu makes my mouth water at this place lol Home
