Why Bahamas for destination wedding
Bahamas is the closest tropical destination-wedding option to the US East Coast (45-minute flights from Florida). Nassau and Paradise Island concentrate the major resort weddings; the out islands (Exuma, Eleuthera, Harbour Island) cater to smaller, more intimate, more upscale ceremonies. Pink-sand beaches (Harbour Island) and uninhabited cay buyouts are unique to the region.
Local context — what to know when planning
No language barrier (English is the official language). Currency is pegged 1:1 to USD. Marriage licenses for non-Bahamians require 24-hour residency + passport — simpler than Mexico or Italy. Hurricane season is technically June-November but most storms cluster August-October; weddings outside that window are very safe weather-wise.

- Pink-sand beach ceremonies (Harbour Island)

Bahamas destination wedding — FAQs
Do we need a passport for a Bahamas wedding?
Yes — even though it's a quick flight from the US, the Bahamas is a separate country and requires a passport for entry. Couples should ensure all guests have valid passports at least 6 months before the wedding date.
What's special about the out islands vs Nassau?
The out islands (Exuma, Eleuthera, Harbour Island) offer dramatically lower density, private-island feel, and unique landscapes (pink sand, swimming pigs at Exuma). Trade-off: smaller airports, more island-hopping logistics, smaller venue inventory. Nassau is the volume / convenience choice; out islands are the intimacy choice.
