After planning numerous Grand Isle Resort weddings, our Bahamas destination wedding planners at Chic Bahamas Weddings are sharing our insider tips to this venue in this in-depth guide.
How to get to Grand Isle Resort in the Bahamas
Getting to the Grand Isle Resort & Residences is straightforward. There are direct flights to the Exuma International airport (GGT) from the U.S. and Canada, and the resort is just a 15-minute car ride from the airport.
You and your guests can stay at the 1- to 4-bedroom luxury villas at the resort and enjoy the high-end amenities, including pampering spa sessions and world-class golf. There’s also the choice of just hosting your wedding ceremony at the Grand Isle Resort & Residences while you or your guests stay elsewhere.
After your wedding party is settled in, you can organize a rehearsal dinner or throw a bachelor/bachelorette party at the resort’s Emerald Bay Beach, one of the most beautiful in Exuma. Surrounded by remarkable seascapes, you and your guests can enjoy an amazing Bahamian Buffet. You can also have a bonfire party on your wedding eve to kick-start the celebration with your guests.
Wedding Venues & Locations at Grand Isle Resort
For your wedding ceremony, there are several options to explore. You can have a complete beach wedding, walk down the aisle, have an alfresco wedding reception on the powdery white sands of the secluded beach, and be surrounded by incredible turquoise water.
Alternatively, you can exchange your vows at The Bridge at 23 North, perched above the glistening waters of Emerald Bay. The beach, or the 14th Tee of The Emerald Golf Course. Then host a grand wedding party on the Terrace of 23 North, overlooking the elegant landscape of Emerald Bay, or indoors in the Dining Room. The latter option is great as it provides indoor backup.
Also, next to the Grand Isle Resort infinity pool is the Palapa Grill, which you can combine with the upper pool deck to accommodate a large guest list. The Overlook Palapa and the Ocean View Terrace offer a more intimate setting for another private wedding venue.
After your wedding, you can stay back for a romantic honeymoon getaway, enjoying the resort’s luxury amenities and going on exciting adventures. Activities to explore include swimming with sharks, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and sailing.
