St. Croix, USVI Venue Scouting // Destination Wedding Planner, Vida Events

It’s hard to name our favorite spot in USVI, but we’re rounding it out with three of our favorite wedding venues!

King Christian Hotel

A waterfront fixture in downtown Christiansted, the King Christian Hotel overlooks Fort Christiansvaern which has been welcoming visitors for almost 300 years. As a small hotel on St. Croix, The King Christian sits directly on the Christiansted waterfront and the Christiansted National Historic Site, where the history and charm of the Danish West Indies comes alive with architecture, duty-free shopping, and historical sites all steps from our door on the wharf. Take the water taxi across the harbor to Cay Beach, featuring incredible snorkeling, swimming and breathtaking views.

The first hotel in St. Croix to be built and operated by an island family, The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort is one of the most iconic and historic luxury resorts in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Villa Norbu

TRANSFORMED FROM OUR HOME TO YOUR PRISTINE DESTINATION

Villa Norbu began as a first home. Then just 2000 square feet, it was a small gem surrounded by lush tropical plant life that totally obstructed the ocean view and sea breezes. With the utmost care, we began the landscaping process, honoring the rare indigenous plants while selectively removing others. We then hand-gathered and planted more than 100 coconut seedlings from nearby beaches along with orchids and date palm trees found at a local nursery.

In early 2008 a couple seeking a luxury wedding venue called our waterfront property a “jewel” and a sanctuary for good vibes.  From that day on it became known as “Norbu” – the Tibetan word for jewel! 

By 2009, they had expanded to 5000 square feet to accommodate groups with up to 65 guests – balconies, indoor & outdoor dining, pool, pavilions with a quarried stone bar overlooking the ocean, commercial kitchen with industrial freezers & refrigerators.  In 2016 we completed the project by constructing a cliffhanger gazebo built with sustainable Brazilian hardwoods, which has become one of the top wedding destinations in the Caribbean.
