Ties optional. The path to the ceremony grounds is older uneven stone, with the ceremony taking place on grass. Women may want to consider a thicker heel or flats. For men, dress shoes or loafers are recommended; please no flip flops.

Q + A

Passport Requirements

You do not need a passport to travel to St. Thomas if you're a U.S. citizen! However, you will need to fly with either a REAL ID or a valid U.S. passport.&nbsp;If you’re planning to use your passport, please double-check that it’s not expired. If you're using your state-issued ID, make sure it’s REAL ID compliant (look for the star in the corner).

AIRPORT DETAILS

Cyril E. King Airport (STT)

When you arrive at the airport in St. Thomas, there are taxis there than can take you to your accommodations. Most taxis will wait to leave until the entire car is full and there will be multiple stops to get to your destination. If you have a large party and want to avoid stops, you can arrange for a private taxi or cab to drive you and your family (see our recommended travel agency at the bottom of this page to help coordinate!). Plan this ahead of time! Be sure to bring cash as they are not equipped to take Credit Cards. Only one taxi company leaves from the airport so these are all safe!

The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa

Discount Code: therathbun2026 This place is so cute and fun to stay at- beautiful views, great dinner and drinks, friendly staff, and close to lots of other restaurants and bars. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Things to know before booking: there are a lot of stairs on this property, with no elevators (however, the staff will transport your luggage whenever needed.) The restaurant only serves dinner, so make sure to make other arrangements for breakfast/lunch as needed. The Pink Palm has ocean views and a nice pool/hot tub, but it is not directly on the beach.
