Where to begin, Marva’s work is perfection and she is also incredibly kind, calm and thoughtful.
We got engaged at the end of 2019 and met with Marva in the beginning of 2020 to book/plan our wedding for May 2021 at Grand Isle in Great Exuma. Once the pandemic hit, Marva went above and beyond to help us plan & replan multiple pre wedding site visits as we all navigated the ever changing situation. We were finally able to visit Grand Isle in January 2021 and following our trip we made the tough decision to postpone our wedding another year. Marva was so understanding, helpful & compassionate as we worked through this entire process with the hotel and all our vendors. As we planned, I had an overall vision of the type of wedding I wanted, but I trusted Marva fully to advise on details to bring this to life. She did not disappoint. In fact, I cried when I saw the flowers because they were so stunning. Marva, her amazing team and vendor partners helped bring the day to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. Despite the rainy weather for our wedding day, every detail for our welcome party at Big Ds and the wedding was incredible. Marva considers everything, your individual styles and partners with phenomenal vendors to make the vision a reality. I cannot thank Marva enough, I put my trust fully in her and would highly recommend her to any bride or for any event.

Marva was really special, very professional and attentive. I appreciate a lot her flexibility taking into account we had to reschedule the date of the wedding due to COVID more than once. She manage to get the exact idea of what we wanted and make it real. It was a day I didn't have to worry about anything else because she took care of every detail. More than happy with her service.

Mrs. Marva will always hold a place in my heart. I will never forget the morning she took my call. I learned a few days later, Marva just lost both of her parents that morning & she took my call. I believe God leads us to special people in our lives & Marva truly is a wonderful lady. She cares about each of her weddings & cares about each person and every detail involved in each wedding. I tried to give her as much detail, pictures, descriptions to convey what we desired for our wedding to make her job easier, but she actually made me feel less worried about the planning. Her many years in the industry just took over naturally. Myself & my husband are not high end clients. We own a small family business in North Palm Beach, FL but when working with Marva I felt like a celebrity during the planning process & for our wedding day. Every bride & groom should feel like ROCK STARS & Marva really made us feel so special. If you want fresh flowers delivered to your bride every morning Marva will make sure it happens. If you want a private secluded Exuma sandbar wedding, Marva will make sure you have it. She even made the weather corporate =) If you want to include a Bahamian Junkanoo band to your special day then Chic Bahamas Weddings will deliver fun exciting beautiful experience s like these for you & your guest to enjoy. Every wedding needs beautiful flowers & Marva will make sure you receive nothing but the freshest that you desire. Chic Bahamas Weddings is quality and only works with best. Marva will not have it any other way and I appreciate it so much. We want to share everything we have from our wedding with Marva to her future brides/grooms. If you need a professional photographer Marva was able to recommend J. Co Photography & others that she works closely with for your special day. I could keep going on & on about Chic Bahamas Weddings... I will close by saying Chic Bahamas Wedding made my dream wedding come true at a very fair affordable pricing! Marva went over & beyond for us. We hope by sharing this review of our Exumas Sandbar wedding with Chic Bahamas Weddings is helpful in your decision for your wedding planner! -Rachel & John @FloridaScubaDivers

Marva and her team did a fantastic job! She executed our vision perfectly. It was truly a magical day! Marva was very patient throughout the pandemic. We ended up working together for a long time and it was a great experience. She thought of everything and gave us direction every step of the way. Marva went above and beyond for our destination wedding in Exuma. We had the most special wedding and adore Marva.

Working with Marva and her team was the best decision we ever made! If you are dreaming of having a wedding in the Bahamas (big or small, simple or grand) I would never do it without enlisting the help of Chic Bahamas Weddings. Marva is Bahamian and knows all the ins and outs of getting it done in the islands, which is not easy to navigate. She is professional, kind, on top of it at all times and dedicated to making anything and everything you want happen. Just when you think it can't be done, Marva makes it a reality! By the end of our wedding week we dubbed her the Marvelous Marva because not only did she make our plan and vision come to life, she made it better than we every expected. I was able to relax and enjoy our entire wedding week and soak in every moment with Chic Bahamas Weddings on board. Cant recommend her enough!

Exceptional! Thank you Marva and Chic Bahamas Weddings from the bottom of our hearts! We could not be more happy with our wedding and entire experience in the Bahamas, all thanks to you! Our wedding was spectacular, from transportation, to food, to decor it was everything we could of dreamed of. Relaxed elegance was our focus and that is exactly what we received. At the beginning we were nervous to plan our dream wedding over the phone but Marva was always easy to reach and always reassured us. She is very personable and professional and only wanted the best for us! She never left any question unanswered and even if we were unsure of something she reassured us, she always produced. Our wedding moved from November to January, Marva and her team made the transition seamless. We could not say enough great things for Marva, we highly recommend her and the team!

Chic Bahamas weddings and Marva Munroe was a pleasure working with as a destination wedding planner. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was stressful, but Marva took all the stress away from me with her knowledge, professionalism, and experience in planning weddings.
Marva’s communication skills during the planning process were excellent. With her calming voice, when we spoke on the phone, I knew I had the right person in charge of my wedding. She made sure I understood everything was under control, and I felt comfortable during the planning process. Marva made sure no detail was missing, and no questions went unanswered.
My wedding moved from April to December with fewer guests than expected, but I had a beautiful wedding. Marva exceeded my expectations. The next time my husband and I visit the Bahamas, we will see Marva. We feel we've gained a lifelong friend in her.

Marva and her team managed to take all of the stress out of planning a dream wedding. She was professional, organized, and brought a wonderfully positive energy to the entire production. With very little input from us, Marva managed to create an event that was exactly what we'd hoped it would be. Long distance planning requires a lot of blind faith - we put our trust in Marva and we are so thankful we did! Words cannot express how grateful we are to Chic Bahamas Weddings for their hard work and commitment towards creating an unforgettable experience.

Let me just start off with planning a wedding can be nerve wrecking, and I would recommend anyone who is getting married to hire one for themselves and save you so much stress. After speaking and reading reviews on several different planner’s after talking to Marva I knew she was the perfect fit. My husband and I both have extremely busy schedules, and Marva was willing to work around our availability. We live in NYC and with our wedding being in the Bahamas, and we hadn’t met Marva until the week of our wedding, but when we did it was like we met her several times throughout the process.
From our first conversation all the way through and after our wedding day Marva was an amazing listener, extremely caring, and was able to advise us in the right path when it came to making decisions for our big day. She was accommodating with all of our needs, and truly made it feel like she wanted us to have the best day. The venue, food, flowers, performances, everything exceeded our expectations. Marva really pulled everything together so smoothly.
One thing that comes to mind to me is the arch for the ceremony. I wanted to make sure we stuck within our budget and suggested what I envisioned. She suggested a full circle floral arch which I never thought would have been possible with our budget but Marva was able to work directly with the florist and they were able to make the most incredible, lush, and beautiful full circular floral arch for our ceremony. When Marva walked us out to the venue before the ceremony I nearly cried. Marva went well above and beyond what we ever could have anticipated.
If I had to go back and start this process all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing and I would hire Marva over and over again. We plan to celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary in the future, and I would love to have Marva plan that for us and our family. I would highly recommend Marva to plan your wedding, you will not be disappointed. Marva thank you for everything, you made out big day so memorable, and absolutely perfect.

Where do I begin! Cannot live without, best money spent, joy to work with! We would not have a wedding without Marva. There are not enough thank you’ s in the world I can say to show my appreciation for everything she did to give us a wedding weekend better than we could have ever imagined. On wedding day and days before her and her team were amazing and so prepared and professional. They provided things I didn’t even think about and just blew me away. Marva is truly first class and I cannot say enough good things about her. In the beginning of the wedding process everyone I was reaching out to to work with all said amazing things about Marva. She is so well respected, and I completely understand why. She has the perfect level of communication, not too much where its overwhelming but not too little either. She is extremely knowledgeable, knows everyone and can make things happen you didn’t even think were possible. I was given her information by a friend of a friend and I couldn’t be more thankful. I honestly don’t know what we do without her. I didn’t have a ton of big visions for décor and things and I trusted Marva and her team, and I knew they would make everything look amazing. She guided me with decisions and I really valued her opinion. The biggest thing for me was I trusted Marva completely. I am a stressful person and having her made all the stress go away because I knew she wouldn’t let anything bad happen and she would make everything great and make everything look beautiful. I didn’t know exactly how everything was going to look on wedding day and for rehearsal dinner, but I didn’t care, because I knew Marva and her team were going to make everything look amazing and I had full trust in them. And WOW they really blew us away for everything! From décor to logistics to anything you can think of, they have it covered! I still can’t believe that we were able to afford what she did. Everyone said Marva is especially amazing on the wedding day and it was crazy how smooth everything went and how everything just comes together to make the best day. Marva is very responsive, sweet, personable, and patient and will give her honest and expert option. If you are doing a wedding in the Bahamas, Marva is a must! I will miss talking to her often and plan to keep in touch!

Marva is absolutely wonderful. From the first phone call to the end of our wedding day, she was calm, resourceful, knowledgeable, and very organized. You knew you were in good hands the moment you talked to her. It can be nerve wracking planning a destination wedding because you don’t know the area or any companies. With Marva, that stress can be taken away because not only does she have amazing contacts, she is able to take you ideas and turn them into reality. The vendors she works with are all 5-star, especially the catering. The chef was phenomenal and all my guests are still raving about him. The photographer (Alfred Anderson) was there each step of the way to capture every memory. He knew exactly how to put us at ease and bring the best out of us. The flowers were exquisite and were more than we could have imagined. The servers were professional and courteous. The steel drum player was extremely talented and put us in the island mood. The DJ kept everyone on their feet until late in the night. I highly recommend Marva and team. I genuinely can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you so much Marva for giving us our dream wedding!!

To say we were lucky to have found Marva would be an understatement. My husband and I are from NJ and always knew we wanted a destination wedding. When we finally decided on Exuma, we quickly realized planning our wedding so far away wasn’t going to be an easy task. We had so many ideas but didn’t know where to start, we were lost. That’s when we contacted Marva and I am so happy we did! After our first phone conversation, she had put my mind to ease and since that very day everything fell perfectly into place. Marva was unbelievably positive, supportive, patient and professional throughout our entire wedding planning process. The wedding weekend she planned was a true reflection of her incredible talent and passion for what she does. Marva stopped at nothing to make sure my husband and I had the most incredible day of our lives! Nothing I can say could translate the gratitude we have for Marva, her team, the execution, and delivery from the months leading up to especially the day of. 5 stars isn't a limit that could capture all Marva and her talented team have done for our wedding weekend in Exuma. Without a doubt, Marva was the best wedding planner we could have ever asked for and we are so lucky we found her. Her talent far exceeds anything I know. I'm a bit of a control freak (being honest) but felt so comfortable having her steer through the day - and she pulled off WAY better than I envisioned. Marva and her team created the most stunning wedding ceremony and reception, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I cannot stop thinking about how beautiful everything was. I had sent Marva a vision board of how I always pictured my wedding. Honestly, I was shocked to see how perfectly Marva and her team executed down to the littlest detail. My family and friends are still talking about it! Marva and her team truly went above and beyond to make my vision come to life and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. If anyone is looking for a planner for their destination wedding in Bahamas that will guide you through the entire planning process and see through the day of with both the highest professionalism and finesse, I promise you will not go wrong with Marva and her team! Now that the wedding is over Marva will always hold a very special place in my heart. She is such a wonderful talented person any bride would be lucky to have her by their side.

Its been several weeks now since we tied the knot and not only are my husband and I still floating on cloud nine so are all of our guest. Marva from Chic Bahamas is truly, truly first class. Our experience with planning the wedding of our dreams was nothing short from amazing, from start to finish. I actually miss our conversations and look forward to planning some kind of anniversary event with her in the future. Our wedding was so amazing and required a ton of logistics. We got married at the Atlantis, after the ceremony we took buses to the harbor where my husband and I and 70 guest had our cocktail hour while we cruised out to a private island (and when I say private I mean private! There was literally nothing on the this island) where we had the most amazing reception. Marva and her incredible team had to literally ship everything to this island, a bathroom, tables, chairs, lights, decorations, a dance floor, a full bar and the most delicious food! Again, so so so many logistics and nothing fell through. Marva was truly amazing with her communication which is so important when planning any wedding but especially one of this caliber. She kept my husband and I abreast of any issues that she might be having and was very honest with us along the way. And I must add, any issue that she thought she might have, she found the resolution and it was no longer an issue. The months leading up to our wedding, Marva was great, and was always scheduling Skype/Facetime meetings and following up to our emails very promptly. If she was ever going to be out of commission for a few days she let us know as to not have of us being left in the dark. Marva has a very calm, cool and collective nature about her, even if she is under a lot of stress she is able to remain calm which is really great for me because I don't deal with high strung energy well. Marva not only planned the most epic wedding ceremony and reception for us but she also helped us in planning or welcome dinner and our joint Bachelorette/Bachelor party which all worked out stunningly. I can go on and on and on about how amazing Marva and her team are because they are truly deserving of all the praise. I would choose Chic Bahamas Weddings again and again. Thank you!

Every minute of working with you and Peter to plan your magical day was great fun. Your wedding ceremony was beautiful.

In your words epic, it was!
Big thanks for your lovely review. We're grateful.

Chic Bahamas Weddings went above and beyond to create the absolute most magical and perfect day of our lives. Planning a wedding in the Bahamas all the way from NJ sounds like a daunting task, but the help of Marva and her team made it an absolute breeze. From the smallest details (like the napkin ring holders, linens and welcome baskets) to the largest details (like the DJ, hair and makeup and venue selection) - Marva and her team were there every step of the way. Marva ENSURED my vision for my wedding was executed down to every detail. Of course, there were times during the year long planning process, when I became a bridezilla and doubted EVERYTHING! Marva was there, responding back to my late night emails reassuring me everything would be perfect (even my 4AM email the morning of the wedding!!) and scheduling phone calls to ensure I was happy. I cannot say enough about how happy I was to have chosen Marva and her team to design and execute the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. Not a single thing went wrong the day of the wedding. Every detail, moment, vendor and team member apart of the day led to what was MORE than I ever dreamed it would be. The moment I walked into the venue and saw my vision come to life for the first time was a moment I will never ever forget, it was better than what I had envisioned. Thank you to the fabulous Marva Munroe, her entire team at Chic Bahamas Weddings, and all of the vendors/people (all of whom Marva suggested) that made July 21st, 2018 the absolute best day of our lives!

Chic Bahamas was amazing! Marva took care of every single detail and every request that we had, from one year out until the morning of our wedding! She included every detail of every request that we had brought up on phone calls just one time months earlier. Her attention to detail was fantastic!
She also helped us pick our venue, food, photographer, etc. and each was fantastic!
We would absolutely recommend Chic Bahamas to anybody! All of our friends continue to rave about our wedding months later, and we couldn’t have done it without Marva!

Words can't describe how lucky I feel to have Marva and her team to help me arrange my destination wedding at Exuma, Bahamas in May 2018. I still remembered how anxious I was when my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding with nearly a hundred people. After I talked to Marva, everything seemed to become easier. She was so sweet and considerate and everything turned out to be more beautiful than what I expected. Even though we encountered the most unpredictable weather ever on the island, Marva and her team did a fantastic job on executing plan B and making sure everything went smoothly. Our guests had a great time and they really enjoyed the wedding, the food, the music and the drinks! I am extremely detail oriented and I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience with Chic Bahamas Wedding. I am blessed to have Marva as my wedding planner and I had the most perfect wedding because of her!

Marva is AMAZING! I had no idea where to start with having an intimate wedding ceremony on Eleuthera. Upon searching "Bahamas wedding" on Google, her business was the first website listed. She was quick to respond, and took the reins. What I was sure would be a stressful to plan, she made sure every detail was perfect. I was able relax a little bit more in the days before we left for Eleuthera. Marva drove us to the government offices to get our marriage license and to meet tge Justice of the Peace. She also found an amazing photographer for our wedding, so our family will be able to enjoy pictures of our ceremony. Marva went above and beyond our expectations. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Marva!!

My husband and I call her Marvalous, and she is every bit of that! We felt completely at ease from the very first time we spoke with Marva. She took our dream and made it a reality. Every single detail was more than perfect. The food, flowers, designs, photographer, music, and everything else was more than we could have wished for! Our guest had such a wonderful time. My friends are already talking about flying her to the US when it's time to plan their own weddings! We are so thankful to have found her and all of the wonderful people she works with. It truly was a dream! Thank you Marva so much!! You are a blessing to our lives and made our special day unbelievably amazing!

Marva was fantastic at planning our wedding at The Cove Eleuthera in June 2017. She managed the details of our wedding flawlessly before, during, and after the wedding. We sent her photos with our theme and colors, and she delivered more than what we expected for the actual event. I highly recommend Marva for your Bahamas wedding.

I honestly can't say enough good things about our wedding day, it was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't have changed a thing!!! When I first met with Marva, I told her I envisioned our wedding in a secluded spot and that my main priority was that my guests have a great time and dance a lot. Marva took me to 3 spots that all fit this description, and I fell in love with Pearl Island. This was a brand new venue - new to Marva, the DJ, photographer, violinist & beauty providers (all recommended by Marva and were incredible). Our guests had an amazing time and never left the dance floor, it was exactly what I pictured, maybe even better!! :) For the rest of the trip after the wedding, our guests were talking about how great the wedding was!

Just got back from my destination cruise wedding in the Bahamas, we all had such a wonderful time thanks to Marva! There is a part to destination wedding planning (and I'm sure any wedding planning in general) that you just have to let go and trust your planner, I'm so glad I went with Marva because all the vendors she chose for my wedding were top notch. All my guests commented on how beautiful the location and ceremony was, the DJ played great music that our group aged 8-80 enjoyed, definitely memories we will all cherish for a long time to come! I had toyed with the idea of going through the cruise ship wedding department to put together something on shore for me, but they were so limited as far as what the were able to offer. With Marva I was able to have the customized wedding that I always wanted, so I'm glad I ultimately went with her. I also really appreciated how responsive she was to my emails, it was so easy to communicate with her despite the distance. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend her to any brides thinking of having a wedding in the Bahamas, Marva is the best!

Marva was wonderful to work with! She took all of the stress out of planning a destination wedding. Marva worked with our budget and schedule. She found an absolutely beautiful location for our beach wedding and reception in Nassau, Bahamas. She had excellent recommendations for a photographer, cinematographer, musicians, and so much more. To be honest, I was stressed out planning the wedding because I was worried about the little details. On the wedding day I realized that I shouldn’t have worried so much because Marva had everything under control. The ceremony and reception looked even better than my visions of it and everything went so smoothly. Marva, her assistant, and everyone else who had a part in our celebration were so sweet and wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about Chic Bahamas Weddings! They went above and beyond! Our family and friends all had a great time and thought it was beautiful. Thank you Marva for making my dream a reality.

Two years ago I contacted Chic Bahamas Weddings to Assist me with my destination wedding. 90% of the planning was done via phone calls and emails. because I live in New York. I met with my planners only once for site visits and to go through some the details. And she came through for me and delivered an amazing job. What I admire the most about Mrs Munroe is her punctuality and her attention to details. To say the least she went beyond my expectations on the day of my wedding by adding her special touch. It was an all white wedding, everything was so beautiful, from the lightnings, to the floral arrangements. Every little details were careful handle. My husband and I are more than satisfied with her job. We are overwhelmed, although we went over our budget but we don't regret a bit every dimes we spent because it was worth it. I Just can't thank Chic Bahamas Wedding enough for making my dream wedding a reality.

My review is a little late, as my husband and I have been enjoying wedded bliss! We were married in August 2015 on Tropic of Cancer Beach on Little Exuma, with our reception at Turquoise Cay Hotel. From our first phone call, we absolutely loved Marva! She is a true professional at her craft; creative, resourceful, and organized. Marva is thorough and detail oriented, which allowed our vision for our wedding to come to life- from start to finish. She kept in frequent contact with us in the months leading up to our wedding and was always available to discuss ideas, concerns, and questions. This brought such peace of mind during a very busy and exciting time. Marva coordinated every aspect of our wedding without a hitch and made the planning process smooth (and even relaxing!) Planning a destination wedding is no easy task and I would most definitely recommend Marva and her team to anyone looking to do so- she is the absolute best!!

We could not have asked for a better experience with all of our wedding shenanigans. Marva and her staff were beyond fantastic to work with. From the start, Marva was very thorough and efficient in answering all of our questions and making arrangements. Upon our first meeting with her, my husband and I had a list of questions/ concerns that we had spent DAYS debating over. Marva had our list covered and minds at ease within ten minutes.
The day of the wedding could not have gone any smoother. Everything was absolutely beautiful and went off without a hitch. We had a large, and slightly crazy, wedding party that she was able to manage with ease. She was very flexible and truly seemed to value our opinions.
We would highly recommend Marva and her services!

Marva was simply the best! Almost immediately after our first phone conversation with her to learn more about her services, and for her to learn about what we envisioned for our perfect day, my then-fiance/now-husband and I knew she was the right person to help us make that vision a reality.
We opted for a small wedding (we estimated about 30 total guests and it ended up being 27 total, including us) on Exuma island in the Bahamas. Our ceremony was at a "no-name" beach in the town of Forbes Hill, about a 10 min drive from Turquoise Cay hotel, which is where our cocktail hour and reception were. My main request was to find a beach that would be very private for our ceremony, and we got exactly what we wanted stumbling upon this "no-name" beach.
Marva was always a pleasure to speak with via email or phone and very responsive with everything. She truly went above and beyond with helping arrange the various events for my wedding weekend (Rehearsal dinner the night before, post-wedding brunch at another nearby hotel, and then a swimming pigs tour for my family and friends!), along with coordinating transportation for all of our guests. She not only took care of my husband and I, but also all of our friends and family who traveled a long way to celebrate with us.
I will note that we did have a few hiccups along the way (who doesn't during the wedding planning process?), but all of the issues were out of Marva's control and even then, we always felt like Marva was on our side negotiating on our behalf and making sure our best interests were well taken care of.
If you plan on having a destination wedding in the Bahamas, I would very highly recommend you get in touch with Marva!! Our special day could not have happened without her and for that I will be forever grateful!

It was not easy planning a destination wedding because you are not in location to look at things in person. Marva and the team of Chic Bahamas Wedding was so proactive and envisioned our wedding to the most minimal detail. They were prompt and professional responding right away to an email, phone call or text message. Marva and her team works with the best vendors and they provided only high quality items and service. The day of our wedding we were blown away by how Marva had made our vision a reality and more. She exceeded our expectations! We loved every detail of our wedding and that's all thanks to Marva and Chic Bahamas Wedding.

Chic Bahamas was a Godsend for our wedding planning, logistics, and event. Chic Bahamas had the patience to help us through one postponement and helped arrange the most beautiful dress, timely Officiant, and amazing photographer among many details that made our day so very special. Her help in finding the perfect site in Exuma met Jackline and my personal dreams and hopes. Our wedding stay was full of timely productivity, yet filled with an abundant amount of non-stress time together. The wedding day was amazing and we shall never forget our experience.

From the very start, Marva put me at ease with her knowledge and professionalism. After our first conversation, which lasted about 30 minutes, I told Marva what my thoughts were and what my approximate budget was and she, listened and just got me and what I wanted.
I was nervous about budgeting, ect., not one of my strong points, although i did have loads of ideas, she relieved me of all of the stress and angst of not knowing what to expect with planning a destination wedding. Marva knows her stuff and is willing to go above and beyond for a clients.
I without hesitation recommend her, she is the one-stop-shop of relief and ease when planning your wedding in the Bahamas. Marva listens, is organized and proactive, knows loads of vendors and just gets it, all while being professional, accommodating and confident in her stellar connections and event planning abilities.

Working with Marva was simply marvelous! If I could give her 10 stars I would! From the first time I spoke with her on the phone I knew that my now-husband & I were in great hands. She has treated us with nothing but the utmost kindness, understanding and professionalism throughout our whole wedding planning process. As a Bride-to-Be I had heard all the horror stories of how stressful planning a wedding could be. But I can say working with Marva made life SO much easier! All the comments I got from friends and family about how I was the calmest bride ever were all because of Marva! She was always so easy to connect with, answering all of our emails & questions promptly. I loved how she listened to what we wanted every step of the way (and made that her priority) but still offered her professional expertise to steer us in the right direction in the times we weren't sure of what we wanted. Her attention to every single small detail amazed me! One of the most common compliments we are STILL getting from our wedding guests is how every single tiny detail of the wedding weekend was carried out so meticulously and flawlessly! Our guests were treated amazingly from the moment they were met at the airport for pickup. The Welcome Party/Beach Bonfire was so much fun for my husband and I, and a huge hit with our guests!! Our beach wedding ceremony and reception at Pelican Bay was EVERYTHING we could have dreamed of. We truly thank Marva and Chic Bahamas Weddings for making our wedding a fairytale! It makes us feel amazing when we hear so many people say we had the best wedding they had ever been to. I would recommend anyone who wants a flawless wedding without all the stress to work with Chic Bahamas Weddings! You will not regret it!

I was so overwhelmed with wedding plans that I didn't know where to begin. I did a little bit of research, but not much, and thought to try out Marva at Chic Bahamas Weddings. From the first phone call I had with Ms. Munroe, I knew this was the right fit. She understood exactly what I envisioned and bounced ideas off of mine. I could hear her excitement over the phone. Most of the wedding planning could have been done directly over the phone, email or skype. But I thought why not go and see the venues in person with Ms. Munroe. It was a pleasure meeting her, and the venues she showed me was EXACTLY what I was looking for. No time was ever wasted. If I had the time and money I would do this experience all over again. Maybe Chic Bahamas Wedding can help me plan my 10 year, or 5 year anniversary :). I can't wait to post pictures of my perfect day. And THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for everything you and your team did, especially Katy. Went beyond my expectations. Until next time :). xox Naty & Robby

My husband and I came from New York to have our wedding at Pelican Bay Hotel in Freeport, Bahamas. We have very close friends who lived in the Bahamas and were able to provide quite a few essential vendors. So, when it came to coordination, Marva was the best person to have around. She was knowledgeable of many of the vendors that I was working with on my own and had a good rapport with a lot of people on the island. Communication was seamless and Marva was professional and punctual at all times. It's not common nor easy for a couple having a destination wedding to pull from different resources, but Marva handled that effortlessly and was kind all throughout.
Even when our flight to the Bahamas for our wedding got pushed back an entire day (causing our whole itinerary to end up a day behind!), Marva remained calm and flexible, which helped our nerves. She communicated with all the people with whom we had meetings, and re-arranged alternate plans. Our wedding (and all the events and coordination leading up to it) was beautiful...just like a dream. I highly recommend Marva.

My husband and I got married on 08/09/14 in Freeport, Bahamas. We worked with Marva/Chic Bahamas Weddings. She was amazing throughout the whole process. She was always easily reached whenever I had any questions. From the moment we arrived in the Bahamas, I felt at ease. She handled every single detail down to making sure we were in a beautiful suite at the Grand Lucayan Resort!Marva is so knowledgeable and choosing her for our planner was the best decision we could have made. Not only was Marva there for us but she was also there for our family members. She truly cared about our special day and it absolutely showed. Marva made planning a destination wedding (to someone we've never been) easy and as stress free as planning a wedding can be. Our beach ceremony/reception was every thing I had wanted it to be.

Where do I begin.. Marva is amazing! I was beyond stressed a couple days before leading up to the wedding due to flight and weather issues causing us to get to our destination. But our wedding day was worth going through it all. Everything turned out beyond more than what my husband and I could have expected. I'm usually a really hands on person and I love dealing with even the littlest details of things, so when my husband and I first decided on a destination wedding.. I was skeptic about not being able to see any planning or detail before. We thought choosing the service/planner would be difficult because when we researched a couple services and called around, other planners had assistance answering their phone lines. But when we called Chic Bahamas Weddings, Marva herself answered. That meant a lot to us because when you want to plan one of he biggest days of your lives without physically being there, you want to be able to feel connected and trust someone. Marva gave us that feeling instantly so we were confident we wanted to go with Chic Bahamas Weddings. We are so glad we did!! Our reception was absolutely beautiful. I was a little worried because we had less guests (15 altogether) than we intended to have and didn't know how everything would turn out.. But it did! Everyone had so much fun and are still talking about it 'til this day. :) We will hold a special place in our hearts for Marva, she truly is amazing and just the best! She made our dream wedding come true and more. I cannot thank he enough! Thank you so much Marva and Chic Bahamas Weddings!

Marva, our wedding planner, was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met her at Christmas to our wedding in May everything was handled quickly and professionally. I knew we had found the right person the instant we met with her. She has a can-do attitude and will bend over backwards to make what you want happen. The vendors she uses are amazing...You couldn't be in more capable hands. The entire wedding day went so smoothly and the decorations and attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Marva for all that you did! You definitely kick started our marriage off right :)

Chic Bahamas Weddings met and far exceeded my expectations for my wedding! I never dreamed of having a wedding when I was a little girl, so when I knew I was going to have one I knew I wanted one where I could relax and not spend my whole year planning the tiny individual details. So what's better than having someone else arrange it in another country?? My ultimate experience was all about everyone having a nice vacation and enjoying my family and friend time with no stress about details that only I knew about, and that is exactly what I got! Marva really seemed to go above and beyond. I was worried that she specialized in resort weddings and might not be equipped for my secluded location wedding, however she rocked it. I was 30 minutes outside of Freeport, and she still made 3 trips in the week to make sure that we were 100% okay. When the wedding day came, all vendors showed up and actually seemed to care about their product. It rained in the morning, and they were all so quick to protect everything until the rain stopped. When Marva came in she was on the ball directing everything to be perfectly coordinated, between the steel pan players, the DJ, the chef, the officiant, the AMAZING photographer WilGrant, the lights, and the flowers nothing missed a beat. Let's be honest here- I had a budget that doesn't meet the "average" that people spend. I had a budget of 12k. I ended up spending 14 without airfare and cost of stay, but never thought I would get a wedding that I swear is right out of a wedding magazine with that budget. My wedding ended up better than all of them ;) All of my guests said that it was the most romantic wedding they have ever been to, that the details were amazing, the setting was perfect, and even that the music was perfect for all generations ( I will take credit for music choices though;) )
I know that having a wedding planner that you have never met in a country that you may or may not have ever gone to arranging your wedding is kind of frightening. ( The whole year I had a nightmare in the back of my mind that I would arrive in the Bahamas and never be able to get a hold of her) But relax, she really does have it!!! Do your job of making your pins, pick your dress, choose your location ( I recommend a private house over a public resort) and pay Chic Bahamas Weddings and you will NOT regret it!!! It was the best day of my life, and amazingly beautiful! I will never be able to say thank you enough to Marva and wish I could live the day over and over and over again.

My husband and I were married in April 2013 in Freeport, Grand Bahama. We worked with the outstanding Marva Munroe of Chic Bahamas Weddings and could not have asked for more. Marva handled every detail of my wedding with the utmost care and creativity possible. As a bride living in NY and working over 40 hours a week I did not have a ton of time to manage the many details of our wedding alone but I was never worried about it because Marva was there to handle it all. She was always easily reachable, whether via email, Skype, or phone and she always took as much time to address my concerns as needed. She was very knowledgeable and speedy when finding out any and all information needed. Marva was also very honest and up front when it came to expenses and knew how to help you get exactly what you want. In short, every thing that we could have dreamed of for our wedding was made possible by Chic Bahamas Weddings. Married now for almost a year, many of our (45 or so) guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed our wedding. This is all we could have asked for! To any couple considering working with Chic Bahamas Weddings- go for it. You will be so glad you did.

We worked with Marva to plan our destination wedding in the Bahamas. She listened to everything we wanted and made it happen. She was also helpful in organizing our pre-wedding activities such as a group welcome dinner. Our wedding day was perfect! Thanks to Marva and her team I didn't have to worry about a thing. There isn't one thing we would have changed. Our guests still talk about how much fun it was!!

Marva, of Chic Bahamas Weddings, is the absolute best! She handled everything about our destination wedding with professionalism and attentiveness. Almost one year later, my husband and I still talk about what a perfect day our wedding day was and we have Marva to thank for that. I would highly recommend Marva and Chic Bahama Weddings.

We got married at Pelican Bay in December 2013. Marva was amazing from start to finish. We started planning our destination wedding about a year prior and Marva was always extremely prompt in her responses, either via email or over the phone. We were a bit hesitant about having a destination wedding, but Marva quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism and extensive knowledge. Once we arrived in the Bahamas for our wedding weekend, Marva helped to make our time there worry free. For example, even though the flowers we had wanted for the groomsmen boutonnieres were not available, Marva made sure to get a flower which looked almost the same. This is the type of attentiveness that she provides to her couples. On the day of the wedding, everything was just as we had imagined, from the ceremony, to the flowers, to the food. Everything was just perfect. Marva is truly a gem and we are so happy to have worked with her for our dream wedding!

I don't know what I would've done without her!!!
