FAQ Wedding Officiant Nassau
Can my pastor or a friend officiate our Bahamas wedding legally?
They can participate in a meaningful way, but legal officiation typically must be handled by someone authorized locally. Tell me your date, island, and setup and I’ll confirm what’s allowed.
Do we need witnesses in The Bahamas?
Witness requirements depend on your setup. If you’re traveling alone, plan ahead so witnesses are arranged properly—no surprises.
How early should we arrive before the ceremony?
Arrive with breathing room. Timing depends on paperwork and location. I’ll recommend a schedule that keeps you calm and avoids rushing.
Do you handle elopements and vow renewals?
Yes. Elopements are one of the simplest ways to get married here—beautiful, focused, and easy. Vow renewals are symbolic and can be deeply personal.
