Extraordinary
Having lived here for most of my life, I have a deep knowledge and love for all things Bahamian. And as a former member of the Chaines de Rotisseurs and an avid world traveler, you could say that I have an affinity for the finer things.
Which I hope includes you.
the Exquisite
My passion for events started while working at The Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board. For over 20 years as the Director, I oversaw the planning, design, and production of all kinds of events.
It was there that I realized my love for the art of wedding planning. After all, it’s incredibly fulfilling to help people visualize their wedding dreams and then make those dreams come true.
So, in 2011, I took that love, along with my experience and knowledge, and started Chic Bahamas Wedding and Events.
I have been blessed to plan exquisite, one-of-a-kind weddings in the Bahamas ever since.
Cultivated Connections
The Bahamas are filled with some of the most talented and experienced wedding professionals in the industry. And because I have built incredible relationships and connections with so many of them…
I know the perfect vendors to execute your dream wedding.
Whether you need to find a venue, choose ideal guest accommodations, select food and beverage or make decisions on music, lighting, flowers or photography…
I can help you assemble a “dream team” that’s just right for you and your day.
If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve likely never been here before.
(And if you have, welcome back!)
Whether you’ve been vacationing on our many islands for years or it’s your first time on one of our white sand beaches, welcome to paradise.

Plan your trip to paradise with confidence! I love to help, and quite honestly my insight on all things Bahamas, as well as my vast travel background, simply cannot be matched by an online search.

With me dear, what you see is what you get.
I feel so blessed to play such a vital role in your most important day. I will never take that for granted. Ever.
That’s why you can trust
in my promises to:
• Gently offer guidance – while still empowering
and encouraging you to make decisions that are true
to you and to your vision
• Provide travel advice and insight from someone
who actually lives here and loves it so refer you to
only the best, most trusted vendors
• Help you be truly present on one of the most
important days of your life
consistently meeting your needs and exceeding your expectations!
Marva is so knowledgeable and choosing her for our planner was the best decision we could have made. Not only was Marva there for us but she was also there for our family members. She truly cared about our special day and it absolutely showed. Marva made planning a destination wedding (to somewhere we’ve never been) easy and as stress-free as planning a wedding can be.
