Your villa. Your rules. I handle the rest.
Tell me your vision and I will find the right villa, handle the legal ceremony, and run the entire day as your Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer and WPIC-Certified Planner.
Glenn Ferguson
Licensed Marriage Officer · WPIC-Certified · BREA Licensed · Nassau, Bahamas
"In 24 years coordinating villa weddings across Nassau, Eleuthera, Exuma, and Harbour Island, I have seen the same problem come up: couples book a stunning villa, then discover they have no Licensed Marriage Officer lined up, no one to arrange the affidavit through a Bahamian Notary Public, and no one who knows how the Registrar General's Department actually works on the day. A villa wedding requires exactly the same legal steps as any ceremony in the Bahamas. Because I hold a Government-issued Marriage Officer licence, WPIC Planner certification, and a BREA Real Estate licence, I am the only person in the Bahamas who can match you to the right villa and handle every legal step myself. That is what makes the day genuinely effortless."

Most couples research resorts first because they are easier to find online. A private villa gives you more control, often at lower total cost, with no shared spaces and no approved vendor lists. I coordinate both and will tell you which one genuinely fits your vision better.
Private villa Glenn recommends
Resort wedding
"A villa wedding gives you the feel of hosting at your own home, except your home has turquoise water, a private pool, and palm trees. For 20 to 50 guests, it often costs less than a resort while giving you more privacy, more flexibility, and a better experience for everyone."

I have performed ceremonies across Nassau, Paradise Island, Exuma, Harbour Island, and Eleuthera. I inspect every villa I recommend or have someone I trust confirm the details. Guest count, travel logistics, and your aesthetic are the three factors I use to match you to the right island.
Largest vendor network, direct airlift from the US, UK, and Canada. Beachfront villas along Cable Beach and western Nassau. Best for 30 to 100+ guests who want premium vendors and no travel complications.
Nassau weddings →Private villas near Atlantis and Four Seasons Ocean Club Estates. Guests enjoy resort amenities while your ceremony stays completely private. Some of the most exclusive villa rentals in the Caribbean.
Paradise Island →Private cays, crystal-clear water, no neighbours. Grand Isle Resort and private estate properties accommodate 10 to 80 guests. The iconic sandbar backdrop. Best for couples who want absolute seclusion.
Exuma weddings →Three miles of pink sand beach, pastel cottages, boutique luxury. Villa rentals with garden courtyards and private beach sections. Intimate and photogenic. Best for 10 to 40 guest weddings.
Harbour Island →Two coastlines, dramatic Glass Window Bridge, eco-chic villa rentals near The Cove Eleuthera and French Leave. Best for couples who want rugged natural beauty and complete privacy away from Nassau.

Online photos can hide bad beach access, construction noise next door, kitchens that cannot support a catering team, or HOA restrictions that would end your evening early. I inspect every villa I recommend, or have someone I trust do it. Six things I check on every property.
Where will the ceremony happen? I check sightlines, shade, wind patterns, and how guests will be positioned relative to you and the photographer. No surprises on the day.
How do guests move from ceremony to cocktails to dinner? I check layout for bottlenecks, shade during cocktail hour, distance between areas, and accessibility for older guests or children.
Can a catering team work from the villa's kitchen? I check counter space, refrigeration, service entrance access, and whether the setup can handle your guest count and menu.
Where do guest vehicles park? Is there a drop-off area? Can vendor trucks access the property for load-in? I check every logistical detail couples do not think about until it becomes a problem.
Are there close neighbours who might complain? Is the villa in an HOA with noise rules? I check local restrictions and confirm you can have music and late-night celebrations without issues.
Every villa I recommend has a workable rain plan: covered outdoor space, a large indoor area, or a veranda that can serve as a backup. I confirm this before recommending the property.
"I do not recommend a villa unless I have been there or had someone I trust confirm the details. Photos can hide a lot: bad beach access, construction noise next door, a kitchen that cannot handle 40 plates. That is why I inspect before I recommend."

Glenn organized our wedding with precision, professionalism, and flexibility. He had all the paperwork completed for our arrival and organized a priority wedding license at the government building before taking us to the beach for the wedding.

31-day elopement · Nassau
I think it is safe to say that we would not have gotten married in Nassau if it were not for Glenn. He enabled our entire marriage process from beginning to end and was the most responsive person I have had the pleasure of dealing with throughout our wedding month and day. Glenn is a true professional.Verified Google Review

Glenn was amazing. He picked us up from our hotel and escorted us to get our marriage license. The whole process took about 20 minutes. He picked up our license the next day and even met us at the airport to give us our other paperwork. I would recommend Glenn to anyone.Verified Google Review
