Dear friends and family,
We're thrilled to invite you to celebrate our wedding on the beautiful island of St Barths. What started in San Francisco has led us to this incredible moment, and there's no one we'd rather share it with than you.
We know a destination wedding is a bigger ask than a local celebration, and we're deeply grateful you're considering the trip. We've created this site to make planning as easy as possible, from flights and ferries to villas and itineraries. Everything you need is here.
We couldn't be more excited to have you there if you can make it. It means the world to us to celebrate this moment surrounded by the people we love most, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
With love and excitement,Lisa & Galen
Dress code: Resort chic. The bride and groom will be wearing white and ivory.
Join us for our first night together in St Barths. We'll gather for dinner at Bonito to kick off the weekend with good food, wine, and toasts. Come at 5 so you don't miss the sunset. Bonito has one of the best views on the island for it!
Dress code: Beach formal. Saturday's events will take place outdoors and on sand, so flat or block heels are suggested.
Cocktail hour starts at 5:00 PM with passed hors d'oeuvres and champagne. Dinner with wine pairings to follow, then dancing and an afterparty.
The night doesn't end at midnight. Join us for dancing, cocktails, and the legendary St Barths nightlife. Group transport provided from the reception venue. Optional, but highly encouraged!

A few practical notes to help you plan
St Barths sits about 1,200 miles southeast of Miami in the northern Caribbean. There are no direct international flights, so getting there involves a connection, but the connection is part of the charm. Here's what we'd suggest.
Fly into San Juan on any major US carrier: American, JetBlue, United, and Delta all run frequent nonstops from most US cities. From SJU, connect to St Barths on Tradewind Aviation, a fifty-five minute flight on a Pilatus PC-12 turboprop. Tradewind has interline agreements with the major US carriers, so your bags check through and your itinerary lives on a single ticket.
St Barth Executive also flies the SJU–SBH route as another premium option, though check which aircraft you're booked on, as their Pilatus PC-12 NGX (pressurized cabin, business-class) is more comfortable than the smaller Tecnam STOLs they also operate. San Juan is US territory, so there's no foreign customs going down. Allow at least ninety minutes between flights.
Air France, KLM, and other European carriers fly directly into Princess Juliana Airport in St Martin. From SXM, take a ten-minute hop to St Barths on St Barth Commuter, Winair, or St Barth Executive (business-class option, varying aircraft; confirm what you're booked on).
Allow at least two hours of layover at SXM, since you'll need to clear customs, collect bags, and re-check in for the second flight at a separate terminal. (Note: Tradewind does not operate the SXM–SBH route.)
Three operators, Great Bay Express, Voyager, and St Barth Ferry, run high-speed catamarans from St Martin to Gustavia harbour. Forty-five minutes to an hour, depending on the route.
A pleasant alternative if you have the time and prefer the sea to the sky. One important note: the crossing can be choppy, especially in the afternoon. If you're prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand and book a morning departure when the water is calmer.
Most hotels arrange airport transfers (sometimes complimentary, sometimes for a fee); send your flight details when you book and they'll coordinate. The drive to anywhere on the island is fifteen to twenty-five minutes.
For independence, renting a car is highly recommended. The island has neither Uber nor reliable public transit, taxis are scarce, and a car gives you the run of the place. Hertz, Avis, Budget, Sixt, Top Loc, and Maurice all have desks at SBH airport.
Choose small. The roads are narrow, steep, and winding, and the average American SUV looks out of place. The Suzuki Jimny (a compact 4×4) and Mini Cooper are the popular picks, and both handle the terrain beautifully.
A note on Mokes. The open-sided Mini Moke is the most photographed car on the island and undeniably charming, but they lack air conditioning, have no enclosed luggage space, and offer little protection from sudden tropical rain. Picturesque, not always practical.
Most of you have your accommodations sorted already. For those still deciding, a few notes below. December is high season, so book as soon as you can.
Gustavia is bustling and central (and where Friday's dinner is), St Jean is beachy and lively, Corossol is quiet and artistic, and Anse des Cayes has the sunset views. The wedding is at Anse de Toiny on the island's southeastern coast; anywhere on the island is within about twenty-five minutes of it by car.
Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com cover the island's private homes and apartments; the boutique hotels book directly. Villas tend to offer more space and better value for groups. Look for parking, beach access, and proximity to the venues.
Not sure where to land? Reach out; we know the island well by now and are happy to point you somewhere good.

Please reply below for you and your guest, if your invitation includes one. Travel details can follow later; send those whenever your plans firm up.
To help us coordinate ground transportation and day-of logistics, share your travel details below, now if you have them or once you've booked. Submitting again simply updates what we have.
Plan to arrive by Friday afternoon, 11 December; the welcome dinner begins at 5 PM in Gustavia, timed for one of the best sunset views on the island. If you'd prefer not to feel rushed, Thursday, 10 December is a comfortable option. Most guests will depart on Sunday 13 December, or extend your stay if you can.
Friday · Resort chic: linen, light fabrics, color for an evening by the beach. The bride and groom will be wearing white and ivory. Saturday · Beach formal: long dresses and light suiting. The ceremony is outdoors, so flat or block heels are suggested.
As soon as possible. St Barths in mid-December is high season; flights, hotels, and villas book up months in advance. See Travel & Stay for suggestions, or reach out if you'd like recommendations.
Plus-ones are noted directly on each invitation. If yours mentions a guest, they're warmly invited; if not, the invitation is for you alone.
Group transport will be provided from Le Toiny to the after party. Optional, but highly encouraged if you want to keep the party going.
Most likely no. St Barths is a French overseas collectivity; US, UK, Canadian, and EU citizens do not need a visa for short stays. You will, however, need a valid passport, ideally valid for at least six months past your return date. If you're traveling on a different passport, please check the requirements for your country.
