“When couples ask me about packages, the first thing I explain is that the government fees are fixed and paid directly to the Bahamas Government — they are not part of my fee and I do not mark them up. My package fee covers my time, expertise, and the services I provide: the ceremony, the planning, the document guidance, and the coordination. I have been doing this for 24+ years. I know every beach, every beach access issue, every document requirement, and every timing consideration. What couples are paying for when they book me is not just a ceremony — it is the experience of someone who has navigated this process 200+ times and will make it completely seamless for them.”
“Glenn is a rockstar! He took care of every detail — marriage license, venue, everything. He was very responsive and always available and incredibly professional. He is very engaging and thoughtful. I would recommend him 100% — not one misstep. He put Mark and I at ease with the whole process.”
“Glenn made our wedding very special and memorable. He is an all-in-one kind of officiant where everything can be done with least effort. Glenn delivered our wedding ceremony with grace and confidence, he is punctual, and he was able to do all required paper filing from obtaining marriage license to marriage certificate on the agreed timeline. Glenn’s services are more than what we paid for.”
