The Perfect Union

We are delighted to have Rev Antonio as part of our love story. From the initial contact he was helpful, efficient and made sure the wedding was tailored to our needs. He made all the appointments, prepared necessary documents and followed through with everything.

The Best 15th Vow Renewal Ever!

Pastor Beckford was truly a gem to work with. He has always been attentive from my initial contact with him. He always answered to my emails leading up to our vow renewal. My husband and I felt very comfortable working with him considering that we lived in America. He was at the pick up location in a timely manner, and made sure we made it to the beach location on time considering Nassau, Bahamas was ending their Junkanoo festivities. The ceremony was beautiful, the pastor officiation was heartfelt. Our 15th anniversary vow renewal was a dream come true. I would definitely consider Pastor Beckford for future weddings and vow renewals in Nassau, Bahamas.

Stress Free Elopement

Antonio was so helpful in organising our last minute Elopement, he done everything from booking the Government Office appointment, finding a great location and photographer, organising a private meal and even pushing for the certificates to be done before we left The Bahamas. He is very professional but also welcoming and friendly, he made us feel very calm and stress free. I would recommend Antonio to anyone looking to get married in Nassau. Thank you Antonio!

Mr. Beckford wedding review

Very satisfying experience, Mr. Beckford is great at what he does. My partner and I were given a high quality service that we would probably not have gotten elsewhere. The environment was well put together, clean, in order and very comfortable. Mr. Beckford has a wonderful enthusiastic attitude that made the entire process even more enjoyable, he is truly a professional at what he does. If you are trying to get married I highly recommend his service.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
