St. Thomas Welcome Dinner Recommendations


Tonir

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to plan a welcome dinner for the night before our wedding. Most of the guests are arriving on Sunday, and we get married on Tuesday, so rather than have a "rehearsal dinner" we want to have a welcome dinner. I think my fiance and I will be paying for it ourselves so I would like to keep it casual and inexpensive. There will probably be about 35 people.

 

We are having the reception at our villa (Sea Star) so I think I would rather have the welcome dinner somewhere else that way the guests still think the reception is special/different. I was thinking of having it at one of the bars on the east side of the island, near where we are staying, like Funghi's or Duffys. Any recommendations or suggestions?

I never went to Funghi's, but if you are looking for a super laid back party atmosphere, Duffy's is an awesome choice. I had a ot of fun there. I was pregnant during my wedding in St. Thomas so I wasn't able to fully enjoy Duffy's selection of beverages but it is a pretty awesome place and the vibe is great.

 

Iggies Bar and Grill at the Bolongo Bay Resort is also really fun. That's where I had my reception. Wednesday (during a specific time of the year) they have Carnival nights which is super fun. There is also various entertainment on different nights of the week. Prices are reasonable and everyone loved the food.

Hey Jess!!! I was thinking about doing my reception at Iggies Bar and Grill also. How was the pricing? I have a limited budget but this place looks pretty laid back. I left msgs from the number on the website and havnt heard back. How did you get ahold of them to set things up?? Thanks for you help!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
