Marva Munroe and Chic Bahamas Weddings

Chic Bahamas Weddings is a luxury destination wedding planning company run by Marva Munroe, who was born and raised in the Bahamas. She began her career leading the Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board, where she oversaw luxury events and international campaigns, and later set up the company to bring that logistical discipline to weddings for couples around the world.

The company specialises in multi-day weddings and full buyouts of boutique resorts and private villas. Its work centres on Eleuthera, Harbour Island, the Exumas and the Out Islands, and it also plans honeymoons, elopements and milestone celebrations. Weddings are built around each island and venue rather than from templates or packages.

“We do the planning. You feel the magic.”

Marva Munroe, founder

Marva is supported by Donovan Munroe, logistics manager and producer, Davante Dorsett, production assistant and coordinator, and Raine Munroe, administrative manager, who handles permits, shipping and communication with local authorities. The team is based in the Bahamas and on site throughout each wedding.

The company takes on a limited number of weddings each year so that each couple has Marva's attention from the first call to the last farewell. Its work has been featured in Over The Moon, Brides, Travel + Leisure, Destination I Do and PartySlate.
