Looking for a Caribbean wedding venue that’s adults-only and has European elegance? Sandals Royal Bahamian might be your perfect match with its blend of luxury and tropical charm.

Venue Overview and Setting

This paradise resort sits along Nassau’s stunning Cable Beach, where crystal-clear waters and pristine white-sand beaches create your ceremony’s backdrop. The venue can host up to 5 weddings each day with several breathtaking locations to choose from. Your options include an oceanfront gazebo that fits up to 120 guests, a beachfront venue for up to 200 guests, or a cozy over-water gazebo that’s perfect for intimate ceremonies of 10 or fewer guests. On top of that, it has private pools, customized decor elements, and gourmet dining options that boost the wedding experience.

Wedding Package Options ($1,500-$8,000)

The resort has wedding packages that fit different budgets. Couples who book a minimum three-night stay can get their “Beautiful Beginnings” package at no cost. Those who want to expand on their celebrations have these options:

  • Free Tropical Wedding: This package has a picturesque ceremony location, bride’s bouquet with fuchsia Dendrobium orchids, two-tiered white fondant cake, and cocktail reception
  • Kiss Me at Twilight: A $600 package that adds a twilight ceremony time and unity sand ceremony

Wedding costs at this venue typically range from $1,000 to $15,000 based on your package, venue, catering needs, and photography services.

Accommodation Choices for Wedding Guests

The resort’s size (under 600 rooms) makes it ideal for wedding parties. Guests can stay close together or spread out as needed. Rooms cost $400-$500 per night on average, ranging from walkout suites to oceanfront penthouses. Joy’s stays platform (stays.withjoy.com) makes it easy to arrange accommodations for your wedding party.

Best Season for Your Bahamian Wedding

The shoulder seasons – November to mid-December or late April to June – offer the best mix of weather and value. These times have pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists. The peak season from mid-December through April brings the best weather with temperatures between 77°F and 86°F, though rates are higher. December through May is the dry season, which brings reliable weather patterns and minimal hurricane risks.

A wedding paradise awaits just 200 yards off St. Vincent’s shore. Young Island Resort stands as one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive wedding spots where you can have an entire island for your celebration.

Private Island Experience

This tropical haven spans 13 intimate acres with 29 charming cottages tucked away in lush gardens. A quick two-minute private water ferry ride from St. Vincent takes you to this secluded sanctuary. The resort naturally blends its natural beauty with upscale amenities. Couples can exchange their vows with pristine beaches and swaying palms as their backdrop.

Tropical Garden Ceremonies

The island offers several enchanting spots that match your dream ceremony. You can choose between barefoot beach weddings with gentle waves in the background, romantic garden ceremonies surrounded by tropical blooms, or breathtaking sunset services with twilight cocktails. A hand-woven wedding arch made from tropical flowers and foliage from the island’s gardens serves as a stunning centerpiece. The venue shines brightest with intimate celebrations and can host weddings with two to 50 guests.
