"The average couple spends $3,000 to $5,000 for a complete beach wedding with me. That is a fraction of what resorts charge. Atlantis starts at $5,650 for the ceremony package alone, before venue fees, a mandatory 24% service charge, and separate marriage licence costs. Sandals requires every guest to book a minimum all-inclusive stay before a single wedding service begins. My packages are transparent: what you see is what you pay. A real Nassau beach, no venue charge, one person handling everything. Call me and I will find the right package for you, or we build something completely custom."

What Couples Say After Getting Married with Glenn
5.0 rating across 247 verified Google reviews. All reviews are genuine and reproduced with permission. Read all reviews or WeddingWire verified reviews.
"I cannot say enough about how satisfied my wife and I are. Glenn helped navigate the entire marriage licence process, bringing us to the office himself. He orchestrated a beautiful ceremony for just the two of us. Everything from the flowers to the photography were carefully thought out and perfectly executed. The caring and warmth Glenn puts into his ceremony went far beyond what we expected. This is a man who loves his work and it shows."
"Glenn met us at the dock in a luxury car and was incredibly professional and warm from the first moment. He incorporated our three children beautifully into the ceremony and made it a complete family celebration. Every logistical detail was handled before we arrived in Nassau. The ceremony was perfect and our kids still talk about it."
"Glenn was incredibly responsive and arranged a last-minute photographer and witnesses for our Baha Mar Grand Hyatt ceremony. His level of service exceeded every expectation. We are already planning our vow renewal with him. This is exactly the kind of person you want handling the most important day of your life."

Questions Couples Ask Before Booking a Bahamas Wedding Package
Every answer is fact-checked and current for 2026. No duplicates with the elopement guide or marriage licence page.
The government marriage licence fee of $120 ($100 licence + $20 certified copy) is paid separately at the Registrar General's Office and is not included in Glenn's package price. There are no venue fees, no resort mandatory stays, and no hidden service charges. For a complete cost breakdown including flights, accommodation, and add-ons, see the Bahamas wedding cost guide.
Higher packages add photography (from $2,395), videography (from $3,995), live musicians including soloist, trio, and steel drum band (from $3,995), limousine or coach transport, beach setup, bridal hair and makeup, wedding cake, and full reception with dinner, open bar, and DJ (from $8,995). Custom additions can be applied to any package.
For 2 guests with no photos: Sweet Beginning ($1,495). For up to 6 with photography and limousine: Romance ($2,395). For up to 25 with photos and video: Paradise Nassau ($3,995) through Deluxe Nassau ($4,915). For 50 guests with full beach setup: Nassau Wedding ($5,995) through Eternal Love Nassau ($11,995). For a complete reception: Extravaganza ($8,995) or Eternal Love ($11,995). Glenn responds to all enquiries within 2 hours.
The key difference between Glenn and resort packages is transparency. Glenn's prices include everything listed, on a real Nassau beach, with no venue fee. Resorts add venue access fees ($1,500 to $5,000 at Atlantis), mandatory service charges (24%), and require the marriage licence to be arranged separately. The full comparison is in the table above.
A deposit holds your preferred date. If your dates are flexible, Glenn can advise on the best available windows in peak versus shoulder season. WhatsApp your preferred dates and he will confirm availability within 2 hours.
This is the primary structural difference between working with Glenn and booking through a resort wedding department. At a resort, your coordinator works for the hotel. Glenn works exclusively for the couple. His direct number is +1-(242)-395-8495. Read his full credentials at his biography page.
Glenn collects couples from the dock, escorts them to the licence office (approximately 20 minutes), drives to the beach for the ceremony, and returns them to the ship within the port window. The Sweet Beginning package ($1,495) works for most cruise couples. See the full cruise wedding guide for exact timing and what to bring.
Glenn pre-verifies all documents before you travel, eliminating any problems at the Registrar's Office. This is one of the most important reasons to work with an experienced Marriage Officer rather than arranging the licence independently. See the full marriage licence requirements guide for a complete checklist by nationality.
After your ceremony, Glenn delivers a certified Bahamas marriage certificate. For couples who need to register the marriage in their home country, an Apostille is available through the Bahamas Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Most US, UK, and Canadian jurisdictions accept a certified Bahamas certificate without requiring an Apostille, but requirements vary by state and province. Glenn advises on this during the booking process. More at Is a Bahamas Wedding Legal?
The Extravaganza includes photography, live soloist, DJ, open bar, reception dinner, and wedding cake. Eternal Love Nassau adds 2-hour videography, a live trio, a steel drum band, bridal hair and makeup, and luxury florals. For reception requirements between 25 and 50 guests, or for custom menus, Glenn can build a tailored add-on for any existing package. Ask Glenn for custom reception quotes.
Both partners must be physically present in the Bahamas for 24 hours before applying. The licence is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. Glenn schedules the Registrar appointment to align with your ceremony date. Priority same-day processing is available, particularly for cruise ship passengers with tight port windows. Full details in the marriage licence guide.
The off-season (June to October) brings higher humidity and occasional brief rain showers, but packages have better date availability and couples often save significantly on flights and hotels. Ceremonies must always conclude before sunset under the Bahamas Marriage Act, which Glenn schedules automatically. Glenn can advise on the best timing for your preferred month based on 24 years of experience across all seasons.
