Bahamas Vow Renewal Locations
Glenn Ferguson officiates vow renewals across the Bahamas — from Nassau’s most iconic stretches of sand to remote Out Island beaches with no other guests in sight. Every location offers the same world-class turquoise water and white sand backdrop. The choice comes down to how secluded or social you want the occasion to be.
Cable Beach, Nassau
Nassau’s longest white sand stretch. Close to Baha Mar and Cable Beach resorts. Ideal for couples staying on the west end of Nassau.
Nuptial Beach (Private)
Glenn’s exclusive private beach near Orange Hill, Nassau. No resort guests, no strangers in the background — just you, your party, and the sea.
Cabbage Beach, Paradise Island
One of Nassau’s most photographed beaches, adjacent to Atlantis. Perfect for couples staying on Paradise Island.
Love Beach, Nassau
A quieter, more secluded stretch west of Nassau. Calm water, fine sand, and a relaxed atmosphere well suited to intimate vow renewals.
Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island
One of the most famous beaches in the world. The blush-pink sand and aquamarine water make it one of Glenn’s most requested Out Island settings.
Exuma
Remote cays, sandbanks, and clear water. Exuma vow renewals can include swimming pigs, private sandbar settings, and some of the most untouched beaches in the Bahamas.

“Vow renewals are among the most meaningful ceremonies I officiate. There is no paperwork, no waiting, and no formality to navigate — just two people who chose each other and want to say it again, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I write every script specifically for the couple: how you met, what the years have meant, what you want to say now that you couldn’t have said on the day. Whether it is a 5th anniversary or a 50th, a private beach with just the two of you or a celebration with your family around you — a Bahamas vow renewal is something you will carry for the rest of your lives.”
“I think it’s safe to say that we would not have gotten married in Nassau if it were not for Glenn. He facilitated our entire marriage process from beginning to end and was the most responsive person I have had the pleasure of dealing with throughout our wedding month and day! Glenn is a true professional and it shows through his work. I cannot wait to come back one day to renew our vows with you, Glenn!”
“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!”
