Weddings: Unforgettable Moments at Paradise Bay

Throw off your shoes, and stifling tradition and get married in the sand at your own private Paradise!

Be it a simple beach wedding for you and your partner at sunset or a whole extravaganza including exclusive booking for the entire resort, a dramatic arrival by the bride or groom from a neighbouring island (by helicopter or boat) and a grand wedding feast, anything you can dream of we can arrange.

At Paradise Bay you and your guests will be treated to a wedding (or re-commitment ceremony) like no other. And best of all Paradise Bay is exclusive – even though we’ve hosted many weddings there is virtually no chance that any of your friends have been married here! Your wedding will be truly unique.

Photography
We work with a number of local photographers so that you can choose the best one for your particular needs. Don't believe in digital pics for your wedding? Or would you rather skip the film and proofs process and take your photos back home with you on a CD to print as you choose? We have professional photographers that can deliver exactly what you need.

Ceremony Sites
Always imagined getting married on a beach with the sand in your toes and the wind blowing through your veil? Or would you prefer a hilltop in pristine National Park, or maybe on the bow of our Sailing Boat. Just let us know, we’d love to set it up.

Celebrants
We have relationships with a number of non-denominational and religious celebrants who can not only legally marry you at Paradise Bay, or simply help you exchange renewal vows or perform a commitment ceremony if that's your heart's desire, but also make sure your day is unique, special and romantic.

Reception Venues
Will it be an elegant island feast for 20 with a live local band, or just you and your true love sipping champagne alone on your private terrace with a view of the water? You choose – we do – easy!

Accommodation
One bungalow or two, or maybe the whole resort? Whatever you need, just ask, we’d love to help.

Goody Bags and Wedding Favors
Imagine each of your guests arriving in their private bungalow to find a beach bag filled with snacks, Champaign and information about the island—what a treat! And you can send them home with a beautiful wedding favour, or a customized package of the wedding couple's favorite cookies.

Honeymoons
We love honeymooners at Paradise Bay – it’s relaxing, private, and romantic and we’re always providing special treats like dinners on the beach or on your private balcony – we can even take you to your own private hideaway for the day or sundowners.

Before the Wedding
Before the wedding, you can expect ongoing telephone and email communication with us. We do an initial consultation with every client, and follow it up with all of the following services on an as-needed basis:
Planning Session for Ceremony, Reception, Rehearsal, Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Luncheon, Beach Parties and Any Other Special Events.
