Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about planning your Bahamas destination wedding
The average cost of a destination wedding in the Bahamas is $17,000. However, costs can range from $1,495 for our Sweet Beginning package to $30,000+ for luxury celebrations. Our Island Nuptial packages start at just $1,495 and go up to $11,995 for the Eternal Love package. The final cost depends on your guest count, venue choice, and level of luxury desired.
With our Priority Bahamas Marriage License Application Service, it takes less than one hour. Normally, couples need to be in The Bahamas for 24 hours before applying for a marriage license, and you receive your license 24 hours after applying. However, we can expedite this process to make it faster and more convenient.
Yes! The Bahamas allows legal ceremonies outdoors, including on the beach. You would need to have a Bahamas Marriage License for it to be legal, and the ceremony must be performed by a licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer (like Glenn Ferguson). We can arrange beautiful beach ceremonies at various locations throughout the Bahamas.
A good wedding planner will always have a backup plan, like a covered area or indoor space. The Bahamas enjoys excellent weather year-round, but we always prepare contingency plans for all our weddings. Many venues offer covered pavilions, gazebos, or indoor spaces that maintain the romantic atmosphere while keeping you and your guests comfortable.
Yes, Bahamas marriage laws require that all legal weddings in the Bahamas be performed by a licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer. Glenn Ferguson is a licensed Marriage Officer and will be happy to officiate your ceremony, ensuring it's legally recognized both in the Bahamas and your home country.
Absolutely! All our wedding packages are fully customizable. From the venue to catering, floral arrangements, photography, and entertainment, we can tailor every aspect to match your vision and budget. Glenn offers personalized consultations to understand your specific needs and preferences.
The Bahamas has perfect weather year-round! Peak wedding season is January through April, but you can save money by choosing off-season dates (late summer or early fall). The weather remains beautiful throughout the year, with warm temperatures and gentle ocean breezes making any time ideal for your special day.
We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance for peak season weddings (January-April) and 3-6 months for off-season weddings. However, Glenn has successfully planned beautiful weddings with as little as a few weeks' notice. The earlier you book, the more venue and vendor options you'll have available.
Yes! Your Bahamas wedding will be legally binding and recognized in your home country. Glenn will guide you through the legal process, including obtaining proper documentation and ensuring all requirements are met. We'll help you get all required documents where they need to go for recognition in your home country.
