Couples choose to get married in the Bahamas because of the many ways the Islands bring them closer together. The natural beauty and splendid beaches offer experiences that will last in couples' memories. Bring something old, find something new. Altars made of sky. Aisles made of sand. Matches made in heaven. The sun and surf are mere backdrops to the perfect day couples imagine and everyone will remember. Make sure you check the more secluded places they offer, with a castaway picnic or a moonlit dinner cruise.

Both bride and groom must be present in the Bahamas for a minimum of 24 hours before applying for a marriage licence and must have valid passports along with goverment photo ID, plus proof of marital status and arrival date in the Bahamas with either immigration card or passport stamp.
