Is it difficult to plan a wedding in the Bahamas?

It's quite easy depending on how simple or grand you want your wedding to be.  Most resorts have complimentary wedding planning, but it's just as easy to hire a professional wedding planner on any of the islands.  

While it is totally up to you if you want to bring your photographer from home, we don't advise it.  Here are a few reasons why...

*You will need to pay for travel expenses and accommodation expenses for your photographer.  Some photographers even request a per Diem or a fee to cover the time they are away from home and not able to shoot other weddings.

*You will need to pay for a work permit for your photographer to be able to legally be admitted into the country to photograph your wedding.  This adds to your overall expense.

*Hiring a local photographer will save you the extra money we mentioned above, but you get more in return for that.  Local photographers know the area and can scout out the perfect locations that fit the style you want.
