FAQs About Getting Married in Nassau

I know you’ve got questions—here are some of the most common ones I hear:

1. Do I need to be in Nassau before the wedding?
Yes, you’ll need to be in the Bahamas for at least 24 hours before applying for your marriage licence. This is a legal requirement, and I’ll help you make sure it’s done right.

2. How do I apply for a marriage licence?
Here’s what you’ll need:

• Valid passports for both of you.
• Proof of your arrival in the Bahamas (like your immigration card).
• If you’ve been married before, a certified divorce decree or death certificate.

The fee is $120, which includes one certified copy of your marriage certificate.

3. What happens if it rains?
Nassau is known for its beautiful weather, but I always recommend a backup plan. Many venues have indoor options, so your day stays perfect no matter what.

4. What’s the average cost of a wedding in Nassau?
Couples spend an average of $7,500–$30,000 for destination weddings in Nassau, with luxury options going higher. My services are flexible, so you can build a package that fits your budget.

5. Can you perform non-religious or interfaith ceremonies?
Of course. I tailor each ceremony to the couple’s preferences, whether that’s spiritual, secular, or somewhere in between.
