Comparing St. Thomas wedding packages should feel like the easy part of planning, not the confusing one. The truth is that most of what shapes your day — and your budget — comes down to a few simple choices: how many people you’re bringing, whether you’re staying on-island or arriving by cruise ship, and how much you want handled for you. This guide breaks down the four wedding packages at The Mary Anne Boutique Hotel, exactly what each one includes, and how the costs actually work, so you can picture your celebration before you ever pick up the phone.

How St. Thomas Wedding Packages Are Priced

Before the individual tiers, it helps to understand what goes into the cost of any St. Thomas wedding. Three pieces are consistent no matter which package you choose:

• The marriage license. A USVI marriage license is a flat $200, paid directly to the territory. It’s the same for everyone and separate from your package.
• A service fee. The Mary Anne applies an 18% service fee on top of the package price — worth factoring in from the start so there are no surprises.
• Your add-ons. This is the variable part. Florals and a flower arch, a private chef dinner, spa and beauty services, a sunset sail, extra nights, or additional guests all adjust the final number.

Because every couple builds their day differently, exact package pricing is quoted on inquiry rather than listed as a flat rate. What stays constant is what’s included — and that’s where these packages really distinguish themselves.

Anchored in Love — The Cruise Ship Wedding Package

If you’re arriving on a cruise, this is your package. Anchored in Love is built for couples who want a genuine island wedding during their port day without an overnight stay, and it’s one of the most popular St. Thomas wedding packages for exactly that reason.

What’s included:

• A private day-use room at The Mary Anne for wedding preparations (up to 6 hours)
• Your ceremony at The Mary Anne or next door at historic Blackbeard’s Castle
• A non-denominational officiant to lead the ceremony
• A staff photographer
• A tropical bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere
• A sparkling toast for the two of you after the ceremony
• Full concierge coordination, including transportation from the port to the venue and back

The team handles the clock so you don’t have to — coordinating around your ship’s schedule so you’re back on board with time to spare. It’s the least logistically stressful way to marry on the island when your visit is only a day long.

Wedding Story — A Celebration for Two

For couples staying on property, Wedding Story is the elopement-style package: elegant, unhurried, and focused entirely on the two of you.

What’s included:

• A 3-night stay at The Mary Anne for the couple
• Continental breakfast each morning
• A champagne and fruit welcome tray
• A personalized wedding planner with an on-site coordinator
• A non-denominational officiant
• A tropical bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere
• A 6-inch wedding cake
• A bottle of champagne
• A one-hour photography session (unedited images)

This is the package for couples who want to wake up in the place they’re marrying, take their time, and let the island set the pace. Add extra nights, floral décor, or a private chef dinner to make it your own.

Island Escape — Celebrate with Your Closest People

When it’s not just the two of you, Island Escape opens the day up to a small wedding party. It carries the same thoughtful inclusions as Wedding Story, with room for the people who matter most.

What’s included:

• A 3-night stay at The Mary Anne across 2 rooms
• Continental breakfast each morning
• A champagne and fruit welcome tray
• A personalized wedding planner with an on-site coordinator
• A non-denominational officiant
• A tropical bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere
• A 6-inch wedding cake
• A bottle of champagne
• A one-hour photography session (unedited images)

Popular add-ons at this tier include additional guests, a flower arch, a sunset sail or private boat charter, airport transfers, and spa services like hair, makeup, and massage. It’s the sweet spot for couples who want the full experience with a handful of loved ones present.

Signature Celebration — The Ultimate St. Thomas Wedding

The top tier among these St. Thomas wedding packages, Signature Celebration is designed to showcase the best of the island and the property.

What’s included:

• A 3-night stay at The Mary Anne across 3 rooms
• Continental breakfast each morning
• A champagne and fruit welcome tray
• A personalized wedding planner with an on-site coordinator
• A non-denominational officiant
• A tropical bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere
• An 8-inch wedding cake
• A bottle of champagne
• A one-hour photography session (unedited images)
• A rum tasting experience for the groom and groomsmen at Blackbeard’s Castle

It’s the most complete celebration on offer short of taking the whole property — a full weekend built around your ceremony, with a distinctly St. Thomas touch.

Want the Whole Property? The Full Buyout

For couples who want total privacy, The Mary Anne can be reserved in full. A property buyout includes all six rooms, the private rooftop pool overlooking Charlotte Amalie Harbor, the game lawn, the full kitchen, and a dedicated on-site host — for up to 15 guests. It turns any of these packages into a private weekend that belongs entirely to you and your people.

Which of the St. Thomas Wedding Packages Is Right for You?

• Complete privacy for up to 15? → Full property buyout

Tips for Choosing Your Package

A few things worth knowing as you compare:

• Book early for peak season. December through April is the busiest window; the shoulder months of May, June, and November bring beautiful weather and better availability.
• Handle the license ahead of time. You can apply online through the USVI Superior Court before you travel — give yourself two to three weeks of buffer.
• Think in add-ons. Start with the package that matches your guest count, then layer on florals, dining, or spa services to shape the rest.
• Ask about ceremony locations. Every package can include a ceremony at The Mary Anne or next door at Blackbeard’s Castle, one of the most photographed spots on the island.

For broader trip planning, the official Visit USVI tourism site is a helpful resource for your guests.
