Why a Bahamas Destination Wedding Just Works

(Even Madea Knows It)

Hi, I'm . With over 24 years of experience as a WPIC-certified Bahamas wedding planner, licensed Marriage Officer, licensed Bahamas real estate agent, and Residency Consultant, I specialize in helping couples create unforgettable destination weddings—and make smart real estate investments in The Bahamas.

From finding the perfect oceanfront villa to planning your big day and launching your vacation rental, I offer a full-service experience rooted in expertise, integrity, and island know-how.

When you've planned as many weddings in the Bahamas as I have, you get to see what really matters. It's not about big productions or Pinterest perfection. It's about the feeling—the way people light up when they arrive, the joy of saying vows with the ocean as your witness, and the relief of knowing everything is taken care of.

That's why I smiled when I heard Tyler Perry set his latest film, Madea's Destination Wedding, right here in the Bahamas. It's no surprise. Couples keep choosing this place for a reason.

What the Movie Gets Right

In the film, Madea and her family fly to the Bahamas for a whirlwind wedding. The bride's marrying a rapper she met on a yacht (yes, I've seen similar), and things go sideways fast. But under the humor, the movie captures a truth I see every week: destination weddings bring out the real stuff—laughter, love, and sometimes a little family tension.

But when it happens here? Surrounded by sun, sea, and simplicity—it just works.

Why Couples Choose the Bahamas

Over the past 20+ years, I've helped couples get married on nearly every major island—Nassau, Paradise Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Abaco. And here's why couples keep choosing the Bahamas:

  • It's stunning. Clear waters, white sand, warm sunsets. The kind of setting you don't need to dress up.
  • It's easy to plan. I handle the marriage license, venue, officiating, and vendors—so you don't have to worry.
  • It's flexible. Whether you want a full wedding weekend or a quiet ceremony on the beach, we can make it yours.
  • It's a real experience. Most couples stay for days, turning their wedding into a getaway. Boat trips, beach dinners, family time—it all blends together in the best way.

Real Weddings, Real Moments
