I'm not sure what your asking but you should talk to a travel agent. It's what we did and they gave us a deal for all our guests on airfare and hotel room. It was probably about $300.00 in saving per person so it worked out well. I did not stay at the Wyndham Crystal so I can't speak to that.

We used Jose... You wont be disappointed. Great guy and incredibly helpful!

I did the Sheraton and loved it... We only had the ceremony their. We went to Lucianos for the reception

I second this. I didn't do a thing. I actually went to the town hall with license in hand and explained I got married in the Bahamas and " What do I have to do?" they said nothing, there is nothing to do. That is a marriage license and that is it. I think different countries. i.e. Mexico require some work on your end when you get back but not the Bahamas

I couldn't see spending $500 - $600 on a video. I knew I wanted some kind of wedding video though. Most of my family and friends told me they watched their wedding video once and never watched it again...it is nice to have though in case you ever want to watch it. Here was my solution. I went out and bought a High End HD video camera for about $600.00, luckily someone at work was selling it. He bought it new for $1500.00. I asked a friend to video tape the wedding for us. It is far from professional video taping but it is "something" to have and watch. He taped the ceremony all the important moments and some of the reception. I gave the camera to anyone who wanted it and everyone walked around and did some video taping. At the end. I did have a video but the money I spent went to a camera that I would have forever and could use whenever I wanted. As I said the video was great but not professional. Just a thought. It made more sense to video tape myself and have a camera and video to show for my money. On a side note. I got married about 18 months ago and have only watched the video once

No problem! Good Luck!

We were going to have our wedding there but decided against it because of the reason stated above. They told us the same thing, if it's busy there will be people everywhere. Most people are considerate though and will move.

Hello - I debated doing the same thing you are talking about. I was going to get married in the US, in my living room, using the justice of the peace and then just renew our vows in the Bahamas. At the end, I didn't want to get married one day and have the actual ceremony another day. It just wasn't for us. Your guessed are there to see you get married so you should be getting married. As far as it being difficult it is not at all. I can't remember exactly what I had to do but it wasn't tough. A photocopy here and a photocopy there and I was done with the whole thing. So - short answer is that it wasn't a hassle in the least bit to get married in the Bahamas and have it legalized here.

I had the same issue. I was told if guests are not staying at Sandals it would cost $100 per person to have them come to Sandals for the day.

This is where we had our honeymoon and I wouldn't recommend it at all. If you want the full review let me know and I can try to find what I typed up. I pretty much go with the flow but all the little things started adding up and we got very annoying! That being said, you are on a tropical island at the beach so it's not too bad...

You'll love Jose! He did everything for us as well. We didn't have to worry about a thing as far as music goes. He also did our ceremony, went off with no issues at all. Matthew is super too.... you've made some good choices! As I said above if you absolutely have to save money an IPOD would probably work but.... it's much more relaxing if you don't have to worry about the music on your wedding day. If you can afford it, I would get a DJ.

I got a DJ and was VERY happy with him!! That being said, if I could change something about my wedding, and to save money - I think the sound dock and IPOD would have been the way to go. Of course you have to have someone man the system and I don't know if I would have been able to handle the hassle of getting all the playlists together and music.

Hello - I had to transport people from my hotel to Luciano's and used Majestic tours. Depending on the amount of people it can get very expensive! Especially since you have 2 stops, where I only had one. We used Majestic Tours and couldn't be happier. I think you will find that they all charge about the same. Good luck.

I personally did mostly everything myself and saved thousands of dollars. Like others said it depends on the resort and what they are going to do for you. There is nothing they are going to do that you can't do yourself, it just all depends on how much you want to do.

Well, I knew I wanted to get married on the beach so it was pretty easy for me. Luckily I called Luciano's 1st, which is where I had my reception, they were great! They gave me tons of advise and a list of preferred vendors. I then just started calling people and looking on the internet for places. Â I would email or call everyone, see what they had to say and see what I thought about reaction time and things like that. After that, it's just asking around and checking the internet for reviews. The people here helped allot too. If you need anything else let me know. When you ask how to get started it's a tough question to answer Once you have a plan it is pretty easy. Do you have a plan?
