How early should we arrive before getting married in The Bahamas?

Arrive early enough to confirm documents, solve witness needs, and avoid travel delays creating wedding-day stress. Build buffer time so the ceremony stays calm and clean.

How Early Should We Arrive Before a Bahamas Wedding?

My practical guidance: arrive early enough to handle documents, confirm witnesses (if needed), and avoid flight delays turning into wedding-day stress. Couples who rush are the ones who get stuck.

If you want a calm ceremony: build in buffer time. The Bahamas is easy when you don’t force it into a razor-thin schedule.

What Your Arrival Timing Should Cover

Document checks: make sure everything is correct before the ceremony day.
Witness plan: if you’re eloping or traveling alone, solve this early.
Location logistics: beach access, resort coordination, villa timing, or yacht boarding windows.
Weather backup: short storms happen—your plan should handle it without panic.
