In My Own Words

Why Has Glenn Ferguson Been the Go-To Bahamas Wedding Planner for 24+ Years?

I started helping couples get married in the Bahamas more than two decades ago, and I still answer every call, review every document, and stand at every ceremony myself. That's not a marketing line — it's how I run my business.

What makes my approach different from resort planners or online booking platforms is simple: I handle everything personally. From your first WhatsApp message to the moment I hand you your signed marriage certificate at the airport, you work directly with me. I prepare your affidavits. I drive you to the Registrar General's Office. I coordinate your photographer, your flowers, your musician, your transport. I officiate your ceremony. And I deliver your paperwork.

Over the years, I've performed Hindu ceremonies with traditional mandaps, coordinated cruise ship weddings with 90-minute timelines, officiated elopements on secret sandbars accessible only at low tide, and put together complete weddings with 48 hours' notice. I've worked with couples from more than 45 countries — the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, India, and everywhere in between.

Being based in Nassau means I have 24+ years of relationships with the best photographers, musicians, florists, and venues. I know which beaches are quiet at sunset, which resort coordinators are reliable, and how to solve problems before they become problems. That local knowledge is what separates working with someone who lives here from working with a website.

What keeps me going after all this time is the look on couples' faces when they realise how easy I've made it. Destination weddings can feel overwhelming — the legal requirements, the logistics, the uncertainty of planning from thousands of miles away. My job is to remove that stress entirely.

Glenn Ferguson — WPIC-Certified Bahamas Wedding Planner
Glenn's Promise: "When you call my number, I answer. When you send a WhatsApp, I reply — usually within 2 hours. And when you stand at the beach saying your vows, I'm the one standing in front of you. That's how it's been for 24 years and that's how it stays."

Kyle Turcotte
31-Day Bahamas Elopement
★★★★★

"Glenn was amazing! He picked us up from our hotel and escorted us to get our marriage license. Once we were there, he made it so easy and painless — the whole process took about 20 minutes. He also picked up our license the next day and even met us at the airport to give us our other paperwork."
