Paradise Island sits just across the Nassau Harbour bridge from downtown Nassau and delivers a resort-first, beach-facing character that most Bahamas newcomers picture when they imagine a Bahamas wedding. The 685-acre island is home to the sprawling Atlantis complex, a lineup of adults-only all-inclusives, and one of the most photogenic stretches of Cabbage Beach the…
Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas and the anchor of the country’s wedding scene. Its Cable Beach corridor lines up flagship all-inclusive and luxury properties along a broad, calm stretch of turquoise water, and the newer Baha Mar development has added three of the Caribbean’s most polished resort openings in the last decade.

A chain of 365 cays running southeast from Nassau, Exuma has the country’s most photographed white-sand beaches, the famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, and a resort scene that skews boutique-luxury and adults-only rather than the resort-city energy of Nassau or Paradise Island. For couples…
Grand Bahama Island is the northernmost of the main Bahamas islands and the closest Caribbean destination to the U.S. mainland. Freeport, the island’s main resort hub, sits about 55 miles east of West Palm Beach with under-90-minute direct flights from most Southern U.S. hubs. That proximity, paired with a quieter and more locally-rooted feel than…
