Eleuthera Wedding — Key Facts
Why Couples Choose Eleuthera for a Wedding
Eleuthera is unlike Nassau. There are no mega-resorts, no casino properties, and no cruise ship ports. It is 110 miles of narrow island — at its narrowest point just a few hundred feet wide — with Caribbean turquoise on one side and deep Atlantic navy on the other. Couples choose Eleuthera for a wedding when they want something genuinely dramatic and remote, where the natural setting does all the work and no venue decoration is needed.

Best Places to Get Married in Eleuthera
Eleuthera’s length means dramatically different settings at different points on the island. Glenn advises on which suits your vision, guest count, and travel itinerary.
Glass Window Bridge Area
North Eleuthera. The dark Atlantic and pale turquoise Caribbean Sea separated by rock just a few feet wide. The most visually extraordinary ceremony backdrop in the Bahamas — unlike anything else on earth.
Lighthouse Beach
South Eleuthera. Remote, pristine, consistently rated one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Turquoise water on both sides of a curved peninsula. Accessible by 4WD only — Glenn coordinates logistics.
French Leave Beach
Governor’s Harbour area. Calm, clear Caribbean-side beach. Easy access, close to accommodation, and well suited to larger wedding parties who need simpler logistics.
Governor’s Harbour
Central Eleuthera’s main town. Historic Bahamian architecture, colourful harbour-front setting, and calm turquoise water. A distinctive backdrop for couples who want character beyond a beach.
North Eleuthera Beaches
Remote beaches near the Glass Window Bridge area, some with pink-tinged sand. Close to Harbour Island ferry connections for couples combining both destinations.
Private Villa Beachfront
Eleuthera has a growing number of private villa rentals with direct beach access. Renting a villa for the wedding party provides both accommodation and a private ceremony setting. Glenn coordinates logistics.

Complete Eleuthera Wedding Fee Breakdown
All fees in Bahamian dollars (1:1 with the US dollar). Travel to Eleuthera is the couple’s cost. All wedding services subject to 10% Bahamas VAT.
“The Glass Window Bridge is not just a backdrop — it is one of those places that makes you stop and realise the planet is genuinely extraordinary. Standing at the narrowest point with the dark Atlantic on one side and the turquoise Caribbean on the other, you understand immediately why someone would want to say their vows there. Lighthouse Beach gives you something completely different — a remote peninsula where the water wraps around you on both sides and the nearest neighbour is miles away. Eleuthera is the Bahamas for couples who want something beyond the obvious. It takes a little more logistics, but those who make the effort never regret it.”
“Glen made our beach wedding in the Bahamas come true. He not only catered to our needs and budget, but he went above and beyond with his promptness, professionalism, character and kindness. Writing the most beautiful vows and performing our ceremony — memories we will cherish forever!”
“Getting married in the Bahamas was a breeze. Glen Ferguson took care of everything and made the process run as smooth as possible. It was such an amazing experience to be able to marry the love of my life on my first trip outside of the country.”
