Underwater Weddings at Coral World, USVI

You’ll definitely have the most unique wedding photos in your crowd if you opt for an underwater wedding at Coral World Marine Park and Underwater Observatory on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.

The ceremony takes place on the Sea Trekkin’ Trail in full view from the windows of the park’s Undersea Observatory, located 100 feet offshore and accessible by walkway. Your guests will descend stairs and have the chance to peek at life 15 feet beneath the surface including your unique ceremony. You don’t have to be a scuba diver (or even a swimmer) to take part in this unusual ceremony; the bride and groom wear specially fitted helmets. Your hair won't even get wet!

If you don't want to get married underwater, you can also exchange vows on the adjacent Coki Beach.

And after the ceremony's over, you'll find plenty of reception options right on site, too--regardless of the size of your wedding party. Groups of up to 1500 can be accommodated at St. Thomas’s Coral World Ocean Park, so invite away! Indoor and outdoor venues range from the undersea observatory to an 80,000-gallon Caribbean reef encounter, a wheelchair-accessible facility perfect for guests with mobility issues or for guests with strollers. The park can even arrange for catered dinners at the reef encounter so you and your guests will feel like you're beneath the sea.
