Optional Excursion - Tour of the BVI's


British Virgin Islands Tour 
Monday, April 22nd
If you do one excursion while on this trip, we would definitely recommend joining us for a day of fun-in-the-sun for a private speed boat charter to the BVI's. 

This event is completely optional so please do not feel obligated to attend. 

All total the tour should cost approx $200 per person, including the cost of the tour, customs fee, lunch & drinks off of the boat (all drinks on the boat are FREE). 

We will be chartering the speed boat, New Horizons II, to take us on a tour of the BVI's. Breakfast and unlimited drinks on the boat are included (beer, rum punch and Painkillers!). Stops on the tour will include The Baths on Virgin Gorda, snorkeling around reefs at various islands, lunch at the original Pusser's on Marina Cay, followed by an afternoon at The Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke. 

Price: $138 per person + $30 customs fee (cash) + Lunch at Pussers & drinks on Soggy Dollar

If you would like to join us for this tour please let Jessica know ASAP so she can add your name to the list. You will not pay until you board the boat, credit cards accepted, however you must pay $30 customs fee in cash. 


**Note: Valid Passport is Required

What do I wear?

On the invitation we indicated the Welcome Party Happy Hour dress code was "Beach Casual" and the wedding was "Beach Formal" but what exactly does that mean?!

Being someone who likes specifics when planning outfit options, and pictures when possible, I totally empathize and wanted to elaborate.

Beach Casual: The Beach Bar, where the Welcome Party will be held, is a very low key spot, literally on the beach, so the dress code is basically whatever you feel the most comfortable in. Shorts and t-shirts, sundresses or even board shorts and beach cover-ups are perfectly acceptable. You're also certainly welcome to glam it up if that tickles your fancy. Most of all we want you to enjoy yourselves and be comfortable. Also, since the party starts at 5pm and we know many of you will be flying in that day, The Beach Bar is located steps from the ferry dock on St John, so you can literally come over and store your luggage at the bar instead of going to your hotel first - if you're in a crunch for time.

Since your toes will be in the sand, flip flops or sandals are recommended for footwear (guys this means you should probably clip your toenails).

Also, since we will be right on the water, there may be a breeze so a wrap or cardigan might not be a bad idea.

Keep calm and beach on!!

island vacation :)







Beach Formal: Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the Villa Kalorama so no need to worry about sand-friendly footwear, although it's always wise to bring a pair of sandals to change into for late night dancing! When outfit planning, think nice sundress or a summer cocktail dress for the ladies, men can get away with khaki pants, and a nice blazer and shirt, or a summer suit if they're so inclined. Again, we want you to look and feel great, so whatever you're most comfortable in, as long as that is not Bermuda shorts or a Hawaiian shirt ;)
