Weddings

Ragged Island

Destination weddings are not a usual affair in Ragged Island. The first one on record was a couple from the United Kingdom in July 2014, and you’ll certainly be making history by having yours here. The locals are keen to assist with whatever you might need, with appropriate notice—including your cake, food and drink, decorations and even adorning the bride. And, there's no need to worry about your guest list; the residents of Duncan Town would be happy to fill in. Timing is critical, though, to ensure that someone is there to conduct your service, and arrangements will have to be made in advance.

San Salvador

Have a beach wedding at Landfall Park on San Salvador and you’ll be retracing the steps of Christopher Columbus, making history of your own. Other settings provide a more rustic tropical feel or you could choose a stylish ceremony at a resort or traditional religious ceremony in a church. Hotels offer wedding packages that are all-inclusive or they could be tailored to your needs.

Long Island

You can choose to have an intimate barefoot ceremony on an exclusive beach with stunning views, a more elegant affair on the grounds of your hotel, or go traditional in one of the historic churches. Resorts offer customized wedding packages with all the amenities and services you would like, including accommodations, decorations and a professional event planner. Meal plans are also available.

The Exumas

You won’t find a more perfect place than The Exumas for your wedding. Have it anywhere outside and you’re sure to be surrounded by beauty, including miles of gorgeous beaches offering picture-postcard shots with turquoise waters reaching over the horizon behind you. If your fantasy is to get married on a deserted island, there are many options among the 365 islands and cays, including a mile-long sandbar in the ocean. Charming historical churches, like St. Andrew's Anglican/Episcopal Church (circa 1802), are an ideal choice for your special day if you choose a religious ceremony. A variety of cultural sites provide endless possibilities for other backdrops and you can embrace the culture of The Bahamas by incorporating some of the elements into your wedding service—the nuptial garb, reception food and beverages, music and decorations. Resorts and certified wedding professionals are available at most hotels and resorts to assist with all of the arrangements to make your special day a dream come true, whatever setting you choose, and packages can be tailored to your needs.

The Berry Islands

You’ll find all the essential ingredients here to make your day very special. Have an intimate setting on a secluded beach with a spectacular sunset or a party where the community joins in to dance under the stars to a local band. And, after you’ve taken that plunge, dive into the deep at Hoffman’s Cay. Your hotel or a local travel agency can assist in making your arrangements.

Cat Island

Cat Island has one of the most ideal climates in The Bahamas, because its location near the Tropic of Cancer means that the temperature range is mid-60’s in the winter and high 80’s in the summer. So, you will likely have good weather for a beach-side wedding at sunrise, sunset, or any time of day, and on your choice of colored sand. For a unique experience, have your ceremony in the medieval-style chapel on Mount Alvernia at the highest point on Cat Island, or go traditional in an historic church built in the 1800s. Choose a garden setting at any of the resorts for your ceremony and follow it with your wedding party strolling barefoot on the beach, complete with flowers and tiki torches. Or, a number of down home restaurants can provide that authentically Bahamian experience. Whatever you wish, hotels here can assist with your plans. Packages can be tailored to include whatever amenities and features you wish, plus accommodations.

Acklins & Crooked Island

The secluded, magical setting here offers intimate hotels with warm, friendly staff that take care of you like family. Nature and the sea are part of every experience. You can have a unique service walking up an aisle decked with local seashells to wed under a gazebo on the waterfront. That and more are possible here in a package tailored for you.

Bimini

Capture the magic of Bimini in a wedding ceremony that will leave you with memories you won’t make in any other place. Whether you prefer to go traditional in a church, want to feel the sand between your toes or take to the seas on a yacht, you can do it here. Quaint churches with unusual architecture—one built in 1862—will provide interesting backdrops.

Rum Cay

In the laidback, rustic atmosphere of Rum Cay, much happens on the fly. It is not the norm for visitors to make any wedding plans before arrival, so this locale is definitely for adventurous persons who are not afraid to wing it. Upon arrival, the first order of business would be to make arrangements with the priest for the ceremony and when that’s confirmed, there are a few ladies in the community who would be willing to assist with your decorations, cake, and whatever food and refreshments you want. And if you need a bridal party or guests to help celebrate your nuptials, persons in that small community would be more than happy to fill in. Choose one of the three tiny churches if you would like a religious ceremony. All of them are on the same street, but quaint St. Christopher’s Anglican Church has lush grounds offering memorable shots from every angle. If you prefer a waterside ceremony, any of the beaches here will provide a stunning setting for your special day and your choice would be based only on what you wish to have as your backdrop.

Mayaguana

Nature and water lovers will find their bliss here. You can say “I do” on a beach or in a church, and you will be among some of the very first visitors to do so. Choose sandy, rocky or tree-lined seascapes that overlook the sparkling sapphire waters of the Atlantic Ocean and have all manner of wild creatures looking on. A traditional ceremony in an iconic church, most of the Baptist denomination here, will add a cultural element to your wedding. Locals can provide any of the amenities and services you will need, like great Bahamian cuisine, and your hotel will make all the arrangements.

Inagua

There's no better place than Inagua's natural surroundings, together with its remote and secluded locale, for a beautiful destination wedding. Due to the limited places to stay, though, you will probably have to keep your guest list small, but that might be a good thing! You have a choice of several intimate small inns — one has three houses side by side and overlooks the beach — and can feast on traditional Bahamian cuisine. The properties offer all the usual amenities and services, infused with island flavor, and can assist with your wedding arrangements at the venue of your choice. Find your own private stretch of beautiful white-sand beach, under the sun’s spotlight, with a set of greenery on one side and sparking blue water on the other. Or, use one of the churches built in the 1800s, which will give your ceremony an old-world traditional feel. One is now a ruin (used only for an annual service on the patron saint's day) but provides a unique setting.

Nassau & Paradise Island

Nassau/Paradise Island offers a distinct blend of international glamour and tropical ease, plus multiple options for your destination wedding, whether a simple ceremony or lavish reception. Whatever denomination you follow, join your hearts and hands in one of our quaint local churches. Add some local color to your wedding with an infusion of Bahamian culture and join in with the Junkanooers and show your partner your rhythm. Say "I do" in one of our beautiful gardens surrounded by lush vegetation, accompanied by the fragrances and sounds of nature. There is no better place than one of our beautiful beaches to have your ceremony overlooking the ocean. Photo ops with sand in your toes define a destination wedding. Get aboard a yacht for a sunset cruise in Nassau Harbor while exchanging your vows. Or, don a wet suit for a ceremony beneath the ocean with the divers at Stuart’s Cove. You can choose from many specially designed packages at one of our resorts, or opt for an à la carte wedding package where you can add all the features you would like.

The Abacos

The Abacos are known as one of the world’s top boating and sailing destinations, but they’re also known for their spectacular wedding sites. The turquoise waters that surround the islands make beach weddings a must. You’ll also find quaint colonial towns, three golf courses, miles of stellar beaches, great fishing, spectacular diving and a wonderful selection of resorts, restaurants and bars for you and your guests.

Andros

The island of Andros is The Bahamas’ most extraordinary natural wonder. Stunning powder-soft beaches, a fringing barrier reef just offshore, bucolic forest trails, and amazing blue holes are just a few of its highlights that could act as settings for your spectacular wedding. You will likely feel that you've gone back in time having your ceremony in one of the iconic churches here, including a stone temple in Mangrove Cay (circa 1891), or a former schoolhouse from the 1900s. Weddings in the Blue Holes National Park are a unique experience. The lush green forest and the shades of blue in the holes provide an ideal backdrop for photography. Whether an informal private ceremony in a romantic setting or a larger gathering, wedding packages are available for every budget, and resorts can help you plan your special day.

Eleuthera & Harbour Island

Eleuthera effortlessly keeps travelers near its pink- and white-sand beaches, ranging from secluded coves to endless stretches along the coastline, while Harbour Island charms travelers with its colonial architecture, in addition to its legendary pink-sand beach. Both are dream destinations that you'll want to add to your list. The beauty in having a seascape wedding on a stunning beach here is that your reception can follow just a few steps away from where the ceremony took place. A number of properties have lush gardens that can provide a flower-strewn aisle for you to walk down, ending in a colorful canopy under which you could be wed. And, you can add some history to your day with a religious ceremony at legendary Preacher’s Cave, site of the first worship service here, or St. John’s Anglican Church, the oldest religious foundation in The Bahamas. Wedding packages are available that include everything you'll need to make your day very special, plus a number of wedding professionals who can offer guidance with your planning.

Freeport

Your special time deserves to be celebrated in an equally special place. Many couples choose Freeport as their wedding destination because we have our own way of performing and creating unforgettable ceremonies. Combining the excitement of an exotic destination wedding with the glamour and luxury of a resort will make you the envy of your friends. You’ll find the memorable mix of historic charm, modern attractions, and ecological wonders perfect for starting your life together. The Garden of The Groves, a certified wildlife habitat, offers a romantic setting and a unique nature experience with a canopy of old shade trees. For a religious ceremony, you will have a choice of venues, from a quaint chapel in the garden to one of a variety of churches with unique architecture, many of which are lined up in a row. Any of the resorts can arrange a romantic oceanfront wedding celebration, away from the crowd or right in the heart of activities, with an Atlantic Ocean sunset as the backdrop. Many special amenities are offered, no matter what type of ceremony or locale you choose, and certified wedding professionals can provide assistance.
