Goldwynn Resort Wedding Officiant
Goldwynn Resort & Residences is Nassau’s most distinctive boutique luxury property — the only Bahamian member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Opened in 2023 on Cable Beach, the resort offers mid-century modern design, an infinity pool that appears to pour onto the sand, the SkyScape rooftop with panoramic Nassau views, and a quiet, intimate atmosphere that suits weddings and elopements of any size. Glenn Ferguson is a Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer and WPIC-Certified Wedding Planner who works independently of Goldwynn’s event team to perform legal ceremonies at the resort.
Book Glenn directly: You do not need to purchase Goldwynn’s own wedding package. Glenn works independently as a Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer — handling the marriage licence, ceremony script, legal officiation, and certificate. More flexibility, the same Cable Beach setting.

Goldwynn Wedding — Key Facts
Goldwynn Resort & Residences — Nassau’s Boutique Luxury Wedding Venue
Goldwynn occupies a prime stretch of Cable Beach between the Royal Blue Golf Course and the east end of the beach. Unlike Baha Mar or Atlantis, Goldwynn is deliberately small — 81 residential-style studios and suites with mid-century modern architecture, private glass balconies, and a design that references the golden age of Bahamian travel in the 1960s. The resort does not feel like a convention hotel. It feels like a private retreat that happens to sit on one of Nassau’s best beaches.

Where to Get Married at Goldwynn Resort
Goldwynn’s small footprint means every setting is distinctive. Glenn advises on which suits your guest count and vision.
Cable Beach Beachfront
The resort’s Cable Beach frontage — white sand, turquoise water, the infinity pool as backdrop. The most requested Goldwynn setting. Works for 2 to 80+ guests. Glenn positions the ceremony to use the natural light and water view to maximum effect.
SkyScape Rooftop
Goldwynn’s rooftop venue with 360-degree panoramic views of Cable Beach, the Nassau coastline, and the ocean. An entirely different character from a beach ceremony — elevated, architectural, and exceptional for photography.
North Shore Beachfront
The quieter north-facing side of the Goldwynn property. More secluded than the main Cable Beach frontage. Well suited to intimate ceremonies where privacy matters more than the full beach panorama.
Edge Suite Terraces
Goldwynn’s three Edge Suites have wraparound terraces with 180-degree ocean views. Ideal for elopements and micro-ceremonies of two to ten guests. The most private setting at the resort.
Poolside — Infinity Deck
The infinity pool deck overlooks Cable Beach directly. An elevated poolside setting with the ocean as backdrop. Works best for cocktail-hour receptions after a beach ceremony.
Vow Renewal — Any Setting
No licence or paperwork needed. Glenn can hold the ceremony the same day you check in. Packages from $1,495. See vow renewal details.

Complete Goldwynn Wedding Fee Breakdown
Goldwynn accommodation booked directly with the resort. All wedding services subject to 10% Bahamas VAT. All fees in Bahamian dollars (1:1 USD).
“Goldwynn is the kind of resort that doesn’t need to shout. It is small, well-designed, and genuinely quiet in a way that Nassau’s larger properties simply aren’t. For a wedding, that matters. You can have a ceremony on Cable Beach at Goldwynn and it feels like your beach — not a stretch of sand you’re sharing with a thousand resort guests. The SkyScape rooftop is unlike anything else in Nassau for a ceremony. When I officiate up there, couples are surrounded by the whole city and the ocean in every direction. It’s one of those settings that makes people genuinely pause before they start their vows. I work independently of the resort’s event team, which gives couples the flexibility to design the ceremony they want rather than fit into a venue package.”
“Glenn is a rockstar! He took care of every detail — marriage license, venue, everything. He was very responsive and always available and incredibly professional. Not one misstep. He put Mark and I at ease with the whole process. Thanks, Glen, for making the day even more special.”
“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.”
