Wedding Venues to Make Your Heart Skip a Beat

Rosewood Baha Mar is like a real-life wedding wonderland, boasting a selection of idyllic venues that promise to make your ceremony truly unforgettable. Breathtaking beachside vows on Rosewood Beach? Check! Intimate, lush nuptials in the Rosewood Garden? You got it! Or maybe you’re envisioning exchanging “I dos” with the stunning backdrop of turquoise waters from the Lagoon Pool Deck or Rooftop Terrace? Done and done! If a more formal celebration is your style, sophisticated indoor settings like Café Boulud The Bahamas, Grand Salon, and the elegant Salon V await. And for charming open-air options, the Grand Salon Terrace and Courtyard have got you covered.
