Destination Wedding Travel's Bahamas Tour 2004

Grand Bahama Island

In an effort to assure the highest level of service available to our clients, we are continuously monitoring the quality of service offerings from destinations, and resorts and venues at those destinations. In a recent visit, we were invited to the Bahamas by the Department of Tourism to conduct site inspections of the islands and Destination Wedding venues. The following are pictures of potential Destination Wedding locations and information from this visit.

Paradise Cove Beach Resort (7 Rooms)

If you are looking for something truly secluded, then Paradise Cove is your property. This small 7 room property is located on it's own private beach facing Deadman's Reef, the islands famous snorkeling and diving area. Enjoy your Destination Wedding on the secluded shores of Paradise Cove.

Pelican Bay (138 Rooms)

This intimate resort offers the romance of the Caribbean with European design and Bahamian hospitality. Pelican Bay, located adjacent to the Port Lucaya Marketplace & Marina, is steps away from the magnificent Lucaya Beach. Beautifully appointed suites offer your wedding guests a luxurious stay.

Crowne Plaza Golf Resort and Casino and Royal Oasis (965 Rooms)

This hotel has completely renovated all of the rooms and public areas including the addition of a beautiful million-gallon tropical sand pool lagoon and waterfall between the two resort sections. There are signing privileges throughout the resort for all guests. This resort is just a short complimentary shuttle ride to relaxing beach facilities. With several beautiful venues for your Destination Wedding, you will be assured to have memories that last a lifetime.

Garden of the Groves

A truly one-of-a-kind venue, the Garden of the Groves offers a secluded venue to hold your Destination Wedding. A wildlife habitat and nature area, the Garden of the Groves is available for Destination Weddings and is - in our opinion - one of Grand Bahama's best kept secrets.

Our Lucaya - Sheraton and Weston (511 & 749 Rooms Respectively)

Just steps away from a 7 ½ acre white-sand beach lies the 511 room Sheraton at Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort. Along with the neighboring 749 room Westin, this dazzling beachfront resort complex offers one of the widest arrays of activities in the Caribbean! One of the most beautiful resort settings that we have seen for Destination Weddings can be found here at Our Lucaya.
