📝 Insider Tips from Glenn

• Fly into North Eleuthera or Governor’s Harbour – Avoid Nassau layovers when possible.

• Book weekday weddings – More privacy, better pricing, and easier vendor access.

• Watch out for no-wedding villa policies – Always check with a planner before booking online.

• Sunset ceremonies work best between 5:30–6:30pm — lighting is perfect.

• Rain backup? Yes, always. I always build one in.
