St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a 28-mile stretch of protected Caribbean coastline where couples can plan a legally-binding wedding without a passport. Historic Danish colonial architecture, world-class Buck Island snorkeling, and a quieter pace than St. Thomas make it a compelling destination wedding pick.

St. John is the smallest and quietest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, with two-thirds of the island preserved as national park. World-famous beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay, protected snorkeling reefs, and an unusually low-density island character give weddings here a national-park feel that's unique in the Caribbean.

St. Thomas is the most connected and full-service of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, with a mix of luxury flagships, mid-range beach resorts, and Charlotte Amalie's historic harbor at the center of the wedding scene. Magens Bay's iconic curve of white sand and no-passport-needed access make it a compelling Caribbean destination wedding pick.

The Big Island of Hawaii is a wedding destination that doesn't look like anywhere else in the U.S. Black lava flows meet white-sand beaches, active volcanoes tower behind resort corridors, and the Kona and Kohala coasts host some of the most iconic luxury wedding properties in the Pacific.

Kauai is Hawaii's "Garden Isle," the oldest, greenest, and most cinematic of the main Hawaiian islands. The Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and lush north-shore rainforests give Kauai weddings a sense of scale and drama no other island can match.

Lana'i is the most secluded of the main Hawaiian islands, a 141-square-mile private-island escape with just 3,000 residents and a resort scene made up entirely of two ultra-luxury Four Seasons properties. This is where couples come when they want a wedding that feels like it's happening at the edge of the world.

Oahu is the gateway to Hawaii, the most connected of the main islands, and home to some of the state's most iconic wedding settings: Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head as your backdrop, Ko Olina's protected lagoons, Turtle Bay's North Shore surf, and the quieter Kahala coast east of Honolulu.

The British Virgin Islands is a chain of 60-plus small islands scattered across some of the calmest, clearest water in the Caribbean. World-class sailing, the iconic granite boulders of The Baths, and a low-density island lifestyle make it one of the region's most distinctive destination wedding spots.

Anguilla is one of the Caribbean's best-kept secrets: 33 beaches spread across just 35 square miles, a shade of powdery white sand that makes visitors do a double-take on their first glimpse, and a boutique-luxury resort scene that draws couples wanting privacy, world-class dining, and low-key hospitality.

The Antilles is where the Caribbean stretches south into the safe, sunny latitudes below the hurricane belt. Small islands, world-class reefs, Dutch-Caribbean culture, and a slower pace than the region's better-known wedding spots make this corner of the Caribbean a compelling pick for couples wanting something different.
