Cable Beach Wedding Officiant
Cable Beach is Nassau’s most famous stretch of white sand — the Bahamian Riviera. Home to Nuptial Beach, the entire Baha Mar resort complex, Goldwynn, Sandals Royal Bahamian, and miles of open Crown-land beach accessible to every couple. Glenn Ferguson is a Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer and WPIC-Certified Wedding Planner who has officiated on Cable Beach for 24+ years. His semi-private Nuptial Beach near Orange Hill is the most requested Cable Beach setting for couples who want the beach without the resort crowds.
Key fact: All Bahamas beaches are Crown land and legally public. You do not need to stay at or book a resort for a legal Cable Beach ceremony. Glenn’s Nuptial Beach is available through his service with no resort fees, no event packages, and significantly less foot traffic than the Baha Mar or Sandals sections.

Cable Beach Wedding — Key Facts
Nassau’s Most Famous Wedding Beach
Cable Beach runs along the north shore of Nassau from the Baha Mar resort complex in the east to Orange Hill Beach in the west — several miles of white sand and turquoise water that makes Nassau one of the most accessible beach wedding destinations in the Caribbean. The beach is home to Nassau’s most celebrated resorts, but large sections remain open public beach. The entire length is legally accessible to any couple for a ceremony.

- 15 minutes from the airport — easiest Nassau beach to reach
- All beaches are Crown land — no permit needed for small ceremonies
- Nuptial Beach — Glenn’s semi-private setting, no resort fees
- Baha Mar, Goldwynn & Sandals for resort-based ceremonies
- Year-round sunshine — peak season November through April
- 24+ years of Cable Beach ceremony experience
- Glenn provides witnesses at no charge for elopements
- Legal ceremony valid in USA, UK, Canada & worldwide
Cable Beach Wedding Settings
Cable Beach offers more distinct ceremony settings than any other Nassau beach. From Glenn’s semi-private Nuptial Beach to the most luxurious resort frontages in the Bahamas, the right setting depends on your vision, guest count, and budget.
Nuptial Beach — Orange Hill
Glenn’s semi-private beach near Orange Hill on Cable Beach’s western end. Significantly less foot traffic than the resort sections. White sand, turquoise water, no resort fees. Available exclusively through Glenn’s service. His most-requested Nassau setting for 24+ years.
Rosewood Baha Mar Beach
The most exclusive beachfront within the Baha Mar complex. Glenn works independently of the resort event team. Capacity 250. Ideal for couples staying at Rosewood who want Glenn’s independent service rather than the resort’s event package.
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar Beach
The largest Baha Mar beach frontage with capacity for larger wedding parties. Glenn officiates independently of the resort event team. Well suited to ceremonies of 25 to 100+ guests combined with resort dinner receptions.
Goldwynn Resort Beachfront
Boutique luxury on Cable Beach — 81 rooms, infinity pool backdrop, the quietest Cable Beach resort frontage. Glenn works independently. The most intimate resort beach setting on Cable Beach.
Sandals Royal Bahamian
Adults-only, all-inclusive resort on Cable Beach with an offshore private island. Glenn can officiate for couples staying at Sandals who want an independent ceremony rather than Sandals’ own wedding package. Couples-only setting.
Open Cable Beach
The sections of Cable Beach west of the Baha Mar complex that remain open public beach. No resort fees, no event packages, no crowd management. Glenn positions the ceremony on the clearest, most photogenic section of open beach for your date and time.
How a Cable Beach Wedding Works
The marriage licence is obtained in Nassau. Glenn accompanies every client through each step and has managed this process on Cable Beach for over 200 ceremonies.

“I have officiated on Cable Beach for 24 years and the question I get most often is: do we need to stay at Baha Mar to get married on Cable Beach? The answer is no. Every beach in the Bahamas is Crown land — legally public. Nuptial Beach near Orange Hill is where I do the majority of my Cable Beach ceremonies. It is quieter than the Baha Mar stretch, has better light in the afternoon, and there are no resort events competing for space on the same day. For couples who are staying at Baha Mar or Goldwynn and want me as their officiant rather than the resort’s event team, I work alongside any resort team and handle the legal side independently. Cable Beach is the most convenient Nassau wedding beach — 15 minutes from the airport, multiple accommodation options nearby, and one of the most beautiful natural backdrops in the Caribbean.”
“Glenn Ferguson was wonderful throughout the entire process! He helped easily navigate the bureaucracy of obtaining a marriage license — even bringing us to the office in his car. The caring and warmth that Glenn puts into his ceremony went far beyond what we expected.”
“Phil and I could not be happier with our choice of Glenn Ferguson for our Nassau Beach wedding. Glenn was phenomenal — not only did he guide us beautifully through a touching ceremony, but he took care of everything, including going to the license office with us.”
