A wedding at Sandals Emerald Bay is an elegant affair. With the stunning stretch of beach and the beautiful European Garden, you'll be spoilt for choice for your perfect day. 

To confirm your special day, we'll need to know if you want a legal or symbolic ceremony, as well as your preferred dates, package, venues and party size. You'll have an easy to use registry to choose every delicate detail you may want for your wedding, from flower colours, tealights and tiki torches. While you arrange your perfect day, we’ll help your friends and family with their travel arrangements and add them to your party list so you grow your group benefits and discounts.

For a symbolic ceremony in the Bahamas, you need to arrive 2 business days before your ceremony, 3 days for a legal ceremony, and your arrival day counts as day 0. 

For a legal ceremony in the Bahamas, you need to arrive 3 business days before your ceremony, and your arrival day counts as day 0. If arriving on Friday, you can be married on the following Wednesday. To apply for your legal licence both parties must have arrived a full 24 hours before submitting the application, you must be in The Bahamas when making the application, and the license can take up to 48 hours to come through.

Your legal fees, such as the notary and translation costs are not included in your wedding package. However with your Premium Wedding package offers credit to cover your legal fees. Your dedicated in-resort wedding coordinator will help you with the legal arrangements. After your ceremony, you will be sent your notarised and translated marriage license to your home address, within 10 -12 weeks. Temporary copies will be given in resort after your ceremony.

In The Bahamas, same-sex marriages are not available. This means resorts are not able to hold symbolic, nor legal ceremonies. If you're looking for a legal same-sex wedding in the Caribbean, Mexico would be the best choice. Symbolic ceremonies are also available in the Dominican Republic in selected resorts.

All ceremonies can be tailored to your religious needs. For a catholic marriage, the ceremony needs to be held in a consecrated venue. If your resort does not have a consecrated venue, a catholic priest can be brought in to perform a marriage blessing in the venue of your choice.
