Peter Island's Storybook Weddings 
 
Peter Island Resort, surrounded with the sapphire seas of the Caribbean, provides the perfect setting for a storybook wedding and fantasy honeymoon. 
 
Beach ceremony
 
From the picturesque crescent of Deadman's Bay Beach to Sprat Bay's collection of 100-foot yachts  and the exquisite four-bedroom Crow's Nest Villa atop a rugged bluff, Peter Island Resort pampers lovers within 1,800 acres of lush, mountainous terrain and private beaches kissed by technicolor tides. 
 
Our staff will handle details such as  flowers, photographs, and music.  Couples are responsible only for their marriage license which can be secured within three days of arriving in the British Virgin Islands.

Favorite wedding locations include Deadman's Bay Beach, a mile-long crescent with towering coconut palms renowned as one of the "Caribbean's Most Breathtaking  Beachscapes," and "The Loop", a bluff carved into an unspoiled island hillside overlooking miles of the Caribbean. The Gardens lend tropical surroundings of hibiscus, bougainvillea and night-blooming jasmine near the Library which is framed by lush flora and the pool on one side and breathtaking views of Sir Francis Drake Channel and neighboring islands on the other. Crow's Nest Villa offers a spectacular backdrop of panoramic views in all directions. Tradewinds offers an open-air dining room  overlooking Sir Francis Drake Channel and nearby Tortola while the Yacht Harbour provides a handcrafted teak and mahogany arrival gazebo surveying Sprat Bay's collection of spectacular yachts from around the world.

After the ceremony, an intimate honeymoon awaits. The resort's "Island Romance" package offers luxurious accommodations for eight days and seven nights, a welcome bottle of champagne, arrival amenities, daily meals including a gourmet dinner and wine tasting event, a choice of a day trip to Virgin Gorda or Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, a windsurfing lesson for two, round trip transfers, unlimited ferry service to and from Tortola, and unlimited use of island activities such as watersports, mountain biking, day and evening tennis, swimming pool, and beachfront fitness center. 

For those who want the best of both worlds in their first days of marriage, Peter Island offers the "Ashore/Afloat" package with five nights of romantic resort accommodations and two nights aboard the 41-foot sailing yacht "Silmaril." 

On the island, newlyweds revel in the respite of five private beaches including Honeymoon, the resort's most romantic beach which offers only two lounge chairs beneath a single thatch hut.  Island tradition dictates that lovers pay tribute to the beach at least once during their  stay - one couple at a time, of course.

During escapes to remote White Bay, where fish literally eat out of the extended hands of snorkelers, island staff deliver exquisite picnic lunches and then remove the baskets when summoned. Or, with the help of seafaring service,  guests uncover one of the resort's 20 tranquil coves for their personal pleasure. 

For the more adventurous, the Peter Island Resort staff can arrange private crewed sailing and boat charters to surrounding islands, deep sea fishing, scuba diving through the resort's own dive center, tee times at Mahogany run on St. Thomas, eco-excursions to the  legendary Baths of Virgin Gorda with a on-staff naturalist, sightseeing and shopping tours, or simple self-indulgence at Sole Spa. 

After a full day of diving or dozing in seaside hammocks, newlyweds can enjoy signature cocktails before dinner, a sunset sail or privately guided island tour by resort rover.  Lovers dance under the stars to calypso, reggae or soca, or indulge in a moonlit stroll along Drake  Channel and Sprat Bay as yacht masts slap softly in the wind.  Later, partners retreat into their guest rooms for a complimentary bottle of champagne. 
 
Our basic wedding package includes the wedding license, registrar & coordination fees, taxi fares, bouquet and boutonnière, house champagne, and engraved champagne flutes for $740.00.

Many additional options can be added such as a photographer, videographer, wedding cake, sunset cruise, musicians.  Please contact reservations for more information.
  

 WEDDING PROCEDURES 
Getting married in the British Virgin Islands is as easy as one, two, three. Couples simply establish residency for three business days.  On the first day, a Peter Island Resort representative will escort the couple into town to: 

 1. Have an appointment for the ceremony with the Registrar's Office.

 2. Purchase B.V.I. stamps at the Post Office for the wedding certificate. 

 3. Apply at Attorney General's Office where the couple must surrender their passports, certified divorce papers (if applicable) and pay stamp fees. 

 The Registrar will return passports and papers with the Wedding Certificate at the ceremony. The couple may arrange for a Minister to perform the ceremony if desired.
