How much does a vow renewal cost in Nassau, Bahamas?
I’m Glenn Ferguson, Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer, and WPIC-certified Bahamas Wedding Planner. Couples call and ask me, this every week because pricing online is all over the place. The real cost depends less on “the ceremony” and more on privacy, location access, and how many vendors you add (photo, florals, music, décor).
Quick answer (what actually drives your price)
Most Nassau vow renewal budgets are driven by location access + privacy and your add-ons (especially photography and florals). A “simple ceremony” stays simple. A “simple ceremony” at a resort or yacht becomes a coordination job.
- Simple “Just Us”: officiant-led symbolic renewal + basic guidance.
- Small Family: adds guest flow + timing coordination.
- Styled Beach: adds design/setup + vendor staging (photo/florals).
- Villa/Resort/Yacht: access rules + timeline control + more vendors.

FAQ
How much does a vow renewal cost in Nassau, Bahamas?
It varies by location access (beach vs villa/resort/yacht), guest count, time of day, and add-ons like photography and florals. Send your date range, guests, sunrise/sunset preference, and location type for an accurate range.
Is Paradise Island more expensive than Nassau for a vow renewal?
It can be, mainly due to access rules and coordination at certain resort areas. The biggest cost swing isn’t the island—it’s whether the location is controlled and vendor-friendly.
What’s the cheapest way to do a vow renewal in Nassau?
A simple “Just Us” symbolic renewal at a quiet beach time (often sunrise) with minimal add-ons is typically the lowest-cost approach.
What add-on increases the budget the most?
Photography is the most common “big” add-on. Florals/design can also change the budget depending on setup complexity.
Do we need permits for a beach vow renewal in Nassau?
It depends on the exact spot, setup size, and vendor footprint. Many small ceremonies are straightforward, but larger setups or certain areas may require coordination. Tell me your plan and I’ll advise correctly.
Is sunrise or sunset better for privacy (and does it affect cost)?
Sunrise is usually quieter and simpler. Sunset is popular and can require more coordination to keep the space clean, which can affect pricing depending on location.
How far in advance should we book?
Simple renewals can sometimes be booked quickly. Peak travel weeks, premium locations, and vendor-heavy setups should be booked earlier for better options.
What if it rains?
We plan a real backup: covered location, a time shift, or an alternate spot. The goal is a ceremony that still feels intentional—not improvised.
Can we do our vow renewal at our resort?
Often yes, but resorts have access and vendor rules. Share the resort name and your guest count and I’ll tell you the cleanest plan.
