Ceremony Locations
You may choose the Great Lawn, our seaside gazebo, or the beach
itself. Other nearby sites include Garden of the Groves. Talk to your
wedding coordinator to select which one is right for you.
Catering
Wedding coordinators can help you select just the right catering for
your reception. Choices include cocktail receptions, plated dinners,
and buffets. Or if you prefer, we can arrange a private dinner party

Photographs
Our wedding packages come with photography services included. But if
you'd like something special, we're happy to arrange it for you.

with the help of our coordinators, you shouldn't have any problems.
Just be sure you know what's required of you and that you come with
the necessary documents. For more information, visit this Bahamas

Obtaining a Marriage Licence in The Bahamas:
1. Both parties must be in The Commonwealth of the Bahamas at the time
of the application.
2. Persons wishing to be married in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas
may do so after one day. That is to say, if a person arrives in The
Bahamas on Monday, they may come into the Registrar General's Office
on Tuesday, obtain a Marriage Licence (while waiting), and be married
on the same day.
3. If either part has been divorced, the original final decree or a
certified copy must be produced. If either party is widowed, being

unmarried, being a citizen or resident of the U.S.A., a declaration
certifying this fact must be sworn before a U.S. Consul at the
American Embassy, Nassau, The Bahamas.
4. If either party is unmarried, being a citizen or resident of a
country other than the U.S.A., a declaration certifying this fact must
be sworn before a Notary Public or other person authorized to
administer oaths in that country and must accompany the application
for the Marriage Licence.
5. The parties must produce some form of identification which has a
photograph attached. The identification document must have been issued
by a Government Office in the country where the parties reside.
6. The parties must produce evidence of the date of their arrival in
The Bahamas.
7. Persons desirous of being married in a Family Island ( any island
outside of New Providence) can obtain a Marriage Licence at the
Commissioner's Office on that island and need not come to Nassau.
8. No blood test is necessary.
9. The fee for the licence is $100.00.
