Planning a beach wedding in The Bahamas? Whether you're a destination bride flying in or a local couple saying "I do" with sand between your toes, the right rentals make all the difference between a beautiful memory and a logistical headache.
At Mel J’s Event Rentals, we specialize in wedding rentals in Nassau and Paradise Island, offering everything you need for a seamless beach ceremony and reception — all in one place.
Here’s your essential guide to what to rent, what to skip, and how to make your beach wedding stress-free and stunning.
💺 Ceremony Seating
What to Rent:
White resin or folding chairs – Sturdy, clean, and wind-resistant
Chair sashes or covers – Match your theme with tropical colors or romantic neutrals
💡 Avoid metal chairs — they heat up quickly in the sun and may sink in the sand.
🏖 Beach-Friendly Decor
Recommended Rentals:
Aisle runners or bamboo mats (optional but beautiful)
Arches or backdrops for your ceremony — easy to install, easy to photograph
Lanterns or floral stands – keep décor low and wide to withstand the breeze
🍽 Reception Setup on the Beach (or Nearby Venue)
If you're dining on the beach or at a nearby venue, you’ll want to rent:
Banquet or cocktail tables
Elegant tablecloths (round/long)
Chargers, wine glasses, and cutlery
Chafing dishes and coolers for food & drinks
Lighting and centerpieces if you're staying into the evening
🎯 Pro Tip: Mel J’s offers $6 tables, $8 linens, and $35 food service rentals, making it easy to build a full wedding setup on a budget.
