When is the deadline to RSVP?
The deadline to RSVP is February 28th, 2026. If you do not RSVP, you may lose your space. The venue has a strict limit in our guest count.
There are two resort options. What is the difference?
Sonesta Ocean Point is the luxury, all-inclusive, adults-only resort, and offers access to both adults-only and family-focused amenities.
The Sonesta Maho Beach Resort is the family-friendly, all-inclusive resort in the same complex.
The key differences are the target audience (adults vs. families), luxury level (Ocean Point is a 5-star property with exclusive features), and access to amenities (Ocean Point guests have access to Maho facilities, but Maho guests do not have full access to Ocean Point's adult-only areas).
Is a passport required?
Yes, a valid passport is required to travel to Sint Maarten.

Are wedding guests required to stay at the resort?
No, but it is suggested due to room block and discounts. If guests are not staying on the resort, a daily fee will be required to attend the wedding and reception.
Is there a deadline to reserve your room?
Yes. We recommend booking your room as soon as possible. The reduced group rate is available on a first-come, first-served basis and may sell out before the booking deadline. All reservations must be made at least 60 days prior to check-in, with one night’s deposit due at booking and the balance due 60 days before arrival. If rooms are no longer available through the room block link, please let us know and we’ll contact the resort for additional options.
Can guests arrive early and/or leave later than the reserved room blocks?
Our room block and booking link reflect an arrival date of Thursday, October 22 and a check-out date of Monday, October 26, 2026.
There is a 3-night pre and 3-night post stay option for guests who wish to arrive earlier or depart later than the main event dates (at the same rate). These extended dates are subject to the resort’s availability.
Guests interested in booking pre/post nights will need to contact the resort directly, as these dates are not available through the group booking link.
What is the dress code for the wedding festivities?
Boho chic, beach vibes.
Are kids welcome?
The wedding will be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening! We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the little ones at home so that you can celebrate with us.
Are we allowed to bring a plus one?
We’d love to celebrate with everyone. Due to our venue’s limited size, we can only accommodate those guests listed on your invitation for the wedding and reception. Thank you for understanding!
What is the easiest way to get to and from the wedding venue(s)?
There will be a shuttle to our welcome event. The wedding will be at the Sonesta Resort.
What time is hotel check-in?
Check-in time: 3:00 PM

Is a rental car needed?
While not strictly necessary, renting a car in St. Maarten offers the freedom to explore the island's diverse beaches, restaurants, and towns at your own pace, which is highly recommended by many visitors to truly experience its variety. The resort is a five minute ride from the airport. You can get around using taxis, buses, and but these options can be more expensive than a rental and limit your flexibility, especially if you plan on visiting multiple areas.
Taxis are readily available but can add up quickly, especially if you plan on frequent travel.
Buses offer a cheaper way to get around but operate on set routes and schedules, which might not align with your plans.
Uber is NOT available on the island.
Private Chauffeur Services: For a more luxurious experience, you can hire a local private chauffeur for a more intimate and personalized tour of the island.
