Bahamas

You’ll love the Bahamas – and the Bahamians love weddings. Here, a wedding is more than a special occasion. It is a celebration. And if you’re looking for a romantic twist, you can marry on one island, honeymoon on another and even island-hop to a third because no two islands are alike. Choose from the Bahamas’ 700 islands and have a different experience on each island that you visit.

How to dine

You can find any kind of international food in the Bahamas from sushi to lasagna, but some dishes are unique to the Bahamas, such as conch, a shell fish. Conch meat is firm and white and prepared in a variety of ways including conch chowder, conch stew, conch salad, conch fritters and deep fried cracked conch. Try down-home food such as Johnny cake, crawfish, peas ‘n rice or a steamed fish served with macaroni and cheese.
