Many choose to get married on St. Croix because it is the most beautiful and unforgettable experience two could ever share together. The beautiful beach and views at Cottages by the Sea has been a backdrop to scores of weddings and honeymoons.

Since the U.S. Virgin Islands is an American Territory it operates under the laws of the United States Government, making your wedding seamless. First you would request an application for a marriage license from the Territorial Court of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Write to the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands, Family Division, P.O. Box 929, Christainsted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I., 00821 or call (340) 778-9750 and request a marriage license application. After the completed and notarized application is received in the islands, there is a required eight-day waiting period. Applications will not be returned, but must be picked up in person at the Courthouse upon arrival to the island. The eight day waiting period can be waived if you let them know ahead of time the dates that you will be on the island.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept wedding parties larger than 4 people during the high season months of December through April. Simple two to four person weddings are possible on a space availability basis during those months. The best months for larger wedding parties are August through the first half of November.

Whether you are looking for a simple low-cost wedding or to bring your friends and relatives with you for a larger gathering, Cottages by the Sea can make your wedding experience truly special, all at a great price! Give us a call and let us know what kind of wedding you would like to have and we can make you an offer you cannot refuse.
