We will be more than happy to help you plan the tropical wedding of your dreams. Getting married at Stella Maris is easy. Just follow the steps outlined below:
Fill out the "Application for a Marriage License" from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (enclosed in our wedding packet).
Send the application along with certified copies of the required documents to us: original or notarized copy of birth certificates; parental consent if either party is under 18; sworn affidavits if single; and a certified copy of divorce or death certificate of deceased spouse if either party has been married previously.
No blood test is necessary.
Your Wedding Package Includes:
The “Stella Maris Wedding Package” covers all nice
necessaries for the actual wedding, for bride and groom. We have
many suggestions of how to make this once-a-life-time event just
what you want it to be …from low-key and intimate to, if
you wish, more formal and more active. Our resort and nearby island
areas provide many choices of very attractive settings for the
ceremony, for a following party and for any possible, subsequent
wedding visitor activities.
It covers the costs for:
* All documentary processing “Bahamas” = our efforts
and those of the Bahamian Authorities – to the point of issuing
the Marriage License (provided that the two marriage applicants
will meet all formal requirements)
* The actual and legally required marriage ceremony performance,
undertaken – by choice of the bride and groom – by
a local “Government Administrator” or an appropriately
qualified Priest
* Wedding Bouquet & Boutonniere of local flowers; informal
wedding decorations for the place of the ceremony and the wedding
dinner area
* Snacks for 8 persons and two bottles of champagne, for the ceremony
* Four-course wedding dinner, with wedding cake, for 2 persons
(bride and groom)
Package total: $1,100.00
We have catered to wedding groups of up to 80 participants, quoting
for local transportation systems, the ceremonies, the parties,
and subsequent island activities!
A group of such size would just about occupy our Resort Club entirely,
making such an event the center of our attention. However, no wedding
is too small for deserving our fullest commitment to detail and to
the bride’s and groom’s happiness!
