Hey Tara!!! That is so awesome. MARRIOTT BRIDES UNITE!!!! I'll be sure to tell you all about our wedding when we get back. Yes, we have already made our deposit and booked a block of 10 rooms. I was worried about the pricing of the Marriott for all of my guests so I have inquired at Bolongo Bay. Lorie from Bolongo has already gotten back to me with information about our reception/party and I hope to get info about the rooms next week. While the Marriott has what I want as far as elegance for our wedding, Bolongo seems to be the place to party! Good luck with your planning and keep us posted! JQ

Thanks for the advice Ms.Foxxy. We have considered Havana Blue..very nice but pricey. Although my mother is paying, I still want it to be reasonable. I may consider going to Bolongo Bay for our reception. On my STD/Pre-Invite that I am doing electronically, I am giving my guest thelink as an option to stay there instead of the Marriott if they would like. Hopefully we can work out a deal. Anywho....Thanks again and Happy Planning! JQ

Hi Everyone. ....I am also a St. Thomas Marriott bride!  Our wedding date is May 20, 2012 and we are soooooo excited! Although I initially insisted on not having a reception there....I wanted to wait until we returned home. My mother insist on giving us one.  Although the location at the Marriott is wonderful for the wedding, their reception facilities are VERY expensive for not much at all.  Does anyone have any ideas on where we could have a small reception?  We are expecting 25-30 guests.  We want to be close by and not require our guests to pay an arm & leg to get around.....Thanking you in advance......JQ

Is it possible to use a TA if you have already booked the block of rooms with the hotel?  My wedding is over a year away and we wanted to make sure we had our rooms blocked but I am still unsure about the airfare.  Would it be possible to use a TA instead?

We have booked!  I am so nervous & excited at the same time! I have gone back in forth in my head about whether or not we should have left the deposit for the block of rooms.  But we did so, ready, set, book!

Congratulations on your wedding!  Thanks for the excellent post.  I am actually getting married at the Marriott Frenchman's Resort next year...May 2012.  I considered the Wyndham but I did not get a warm & fuzzy feeling after speaking with the other coordinator at the Wyndham...he seemed very unconcerned when I spoke with him. Anyway....Thanks for the great advice regarding the license...We are scheduled to arrive on the Friday and therefore we only have a day to pick up our license.  Thanks again!
