The answer is yes once you provide your marriage certificate from the Bahamas. If your marriage was legal in the Bahamas then it will be legal in the US. It is legal based on the special seal applied by the Bahamas authority to certify that the document is a true copy.

Destination weddings tend to be cheaper than traditional weddings. The cost of your wedding will depend on many factors including your travel, accommodations, chosen vendors, and venue. The average cost of a destination wedding in the Bahamas is between $20,000 and $25,000.

The fee for the license is $100; certified copies of a marriage certificate are $20. Note: Marriage Licenses are issued at the office of the Registrar General in Nassau. This office is open to the public Mondays to Fridays between the hours of 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Couples must be in the country for at least 24 hours before they can apply for a Bahamas marriage license. After the license is issued, the wedding can take place right away or within the next three months (90 Days).
