New Year- Get Married Here! (In the Bahamas)

It's a New Year, maybe this is the year that you and your fiance intend to make your wedding day happen. Feeling flustered as yet? Last October we shared some questions that would help you as you are deciding whether or not a destination wedding is right for you. They were:

1.      How much does the couple plan on spending? 

2.      What type of climate do you want to get married in? Cold, warm or hot?

3.      How long do you want your wedding “weekend” or “retreat” to be?

4.      How far do you want to go or willing to travel?

5.      How far are your most important guests willing or able to afford to go?

6.      What will the cost be for your guests?

7.      How important is your ceremony and what locations can accommodate your religious needs?

8.      Will you be providing any rooms, airfare or meals for your guests?

9.      How many guests do you want to share in your special day?

10.   Do you want a formal or casual destination wedding and location?

Have you and your fiance answered these questions? If you have then you should know if a possible destination wedding is for you. But now you may face the issue of not being sure about where you want it. Why not here? It's a New Year, all about changes and growth as a person and couple. Getting married here in the Bahamas is the perfect choice. If you haven’t completely made that decision here are five great reasons why other brides have gotten married here.

1.      We are less than an hour away from Florida by plane. This proximity means that you and your family spend less time traveling to get here. Less time traveling also normally means less money spent on travel expenses. This also means that you have more options in terms of traveling to our islands. You can choose to come by plane and stay in an amazing hotel or come here via a cruise and get married while you are in Nassau on any number of our beautiful beaches.

2.      Choices. Just as we give you choices in terms of travel- we give you choices in terms of location. The Bahamas is an archipelago- meaning we are a chain of islands. We have over 700 islands, rocks & cays- so many islands, so much fun, and so many beautiful venues to choose from. From having your wedding on a beach with trained dolphins doing tricks as you exchange vows; going cliff diving in Eleuthera after you say your “I do’s”; to the beautiful St. Peter’s Catholic church in Long Island you have more places to get married here than any other destination. You also have choices as it relates to the accommodations you and your guests will be at. So many hotels, bed & breakfasts, inns and guest houses to choose from.

3.      Romance. Many celebrities have chosen our islands for their getaway nuptials because it is so beautiful, quiet and romantic. Imagine the low tide with sand dollars and starfish littering the beach, twinkling in the moonlight. The moon above your head is full and high over the ocean floor blanketed by a heavy curtain of diamond like stars. Walking the beach and feeling like you two are alone and away from everyone. It doesn’t have to be quiet- you can come during Junkanoo season and party in the streets, or enjoy some of our nightlife as a couple. Then on your wedding day the designers and planners that we have are known the world over for their stunning creativity when it comes to the world of events. Whatever it is you are dreaming of- we will create it for you. Every aspect of your wedding is catered to your idea of romance.

4.      Detail oriented professionals. It is all about you and your dream wedding here. From the planners & designers, to the ministers, to the officials at the Registrar General- they all pitch in to make your wedding day the best day ever. We take out the hassle for you. We have simple requirements for the marriage license, the designers are world renown for their creativity, and photographers search for locations that will give you the most stunning photos. We want you to enjoy every moment you have here on your wedding day.

5.      Family Friendly. Bring your mom, dad, granddad, kids, nieces and nephews- our islands accommodate them all. We are a “family of islands” in so many ways. Here is a place where the children in your family can play on the shores of swash buckling pirates, your parents can golf and treat their selves to the spa, the place where everyone can be their own island but come together for your best day.

In the end I want you to remember that a Bahamas wedding, vow renewal, or even honeymoon is all about you! Nothing is impossible for us when it comes to our guests. I hope you enjoy every moment that you have here in the Bahamas. Be blessed, stay safe, and stay planning!
