Some common questions to help you determine whether we are the right venue for your event here in St. Thomas.

What services does 13W provide?

We provide every service you could imagine for your event. Tables, chairs, linens, catering, decor, music, wait staff, photography, flowers and more. We also offer our event planning staff for both planning the event and day-of coordination.

Can I bring my own food and beverages?

Want to bring your own caterer and beverages? No problem! We work with most caterers on island and welcome them to our venue. If you prefer to buy and bring your own beverages we will provide storage and coolers and staff for servicing drinks and the food. Some caterers will bring their own staff and that is welcome too! For some vendors that we haven’t worked with in the past, we request they provide proof of insurance. That’s it!

Is parking available at 13W?

Only off-site parking is available. There is a public parking lot that’s a 5-minute walk away. The vast majority of our groups rely on taxis for transportation to and from the event. The taxi drop off/pick up is right at our front doorstep. Some of our packages include transportation to and from your resort, villa or cruise ship.

What are the capacity limits of your event spaces?

We have hosted private events for 10 people and up to 150 people. For groups over 80 there may be some limitation on the type of event we can host. For example, a plated, sit-down dinner is not as feasible. Instead, we can do food stations or a buffet with more casual seating. To ensure you have the perfect space for your gathering, reach out to us with your specific requirements, and our team will guide you through the available options and help you choose the ideal details that comfortably accommodates your guests.

Are there any hotels nearby for out-of-town guests?

Yes, there are several options. Our favorite spot in town is The Pink Palm Hotel. A more economical option is The Windward Passage. Both are within a 4-5 minute walk away. Less than 10 minutes away by car are The Westin/Buoy House and Emerald Beach Hotel. But the nice thing about our small island is that all the resorts on island are within about 20 minutes from Charlotte Amalie.

What is the minimum amount of time you can rent the venue?

We don’t charge by the hour. We charge by the type of event. Our simplest and shortest event is two hours. This event is usually for cruise ship wedding receptions or cruise ship family reunions. But many of our events last for 4-6 hours covering a cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Our packages are customizable though to fit your exact vision.
