Thank you both! It's good to know about Buck Island and Christiansted, and I will post a message on the forum that you suggested, Petunia.

Hi Everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me. I have been working with the Carambola Beach Resort now for almost 3 months, and just as we were about to sign the contract, they almost doubled the room rates and increased the per person price from $35 to $60 from what they had stated on the proposal. Despite trying to discuss this with Christine, the new catering manager there full of attitude, she said she's "sorry" that she misquoted us on the proposal, but that's just the way it is. Although we liked the quoted prices better, it's the idea that management doesn't honor their agreements, and are difficult to work with, that we feel the need to go somewhere else. So, after all that work, my fiance Adam and I are now looking for another place to get married/have a reception on St. Croix because most of his side of the family has already purchased their plane tickets. We have a little over 7 months left to plan a wedding for 35 people. Any suggestions on a nice place, with nice people to work with, would be a great help to us. We feel a little lost at this point. Thank you so much!!

I've heard about the party that is held on Fridays, and from what I understand it's kind of a big affair! I agree, sharing your wedding reception with many strangers is not ideal. Thank you for sharing your story, I may definitely have questions in the future!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I'm up to 3 posts now! I'm unstoppable :-D I'm already getting lots of good info!

Hi! I'm getting married in St. croix (Carambola Beach) with a small ceremony and about 25 guests. We are planning a small reception to follow, but right now it's basically just a dinner. Is there usually entertainment, such as a DJ or live music, at a reception so small, or is it generally just a dinner that follows the beach ceremony? Thanks!!

Thank you for the welcome! I just found the "search" option...that should keep me busy for a while

Hi, My name is deb. I've never belonged to a forum before, but I thought this was a good opportunity to start! My wedding date is January 3rd, 2009, and it's a destination wedding to St. Croix. Any information that anyone has on destination weddings in St. Croix, in particular Carambola Beach, would be much appreciated! Thanks!
