Partnership Brings High-End Event Design to Caribbean Destination

Baha Mar has partnered with celebrity event designer Colin Cowie to debut the Baha Mar Celebration Collection, a suite of ten curated wedding and event design concepts exclusive to the Nassau resort.

The collection, unveiled during the RSVP Symposium in May 2026, represents Cowie's creative direction applied to Baha Mar's 1,000-acre resort grounds and multiple event venues. The timing coincides with Cowie's 40-year anniversary in the event design industry.

"As the Caribbean's leading resort destination, we have witnessed a remarkable surge in demand for sophisticated, experiential weddings," said Graeme Davis, President, Baha Mar. "We are proud to set a new standard by introducing a level of design and service that is simply unmatched. Having known Colin for many years, I have seen firsthand how his discerning taste transforms spaces into masterpieces. By blending the natural beauty of The Bahamas with his boundless creativity, we are offering couples the rare opportunity to realize the wedding of their dreams—expertly designed by Colin himself, where every detail is considered and every moment is elevated."

Ten Signature Design Concepts

The collection features ten design identities: Bahamian Beach Chic, Soft Sands, Coral Luxe, Pearly Pink, Palm Persuasion, Simply White, and Something Bleu, among others. Each concept combines color palettes, textiles, and cultural inspiration tailored to the Bahamas setting.

According to Cowie, the approach eliminates guesswork from the planning process. "With these collections, we've taken the guesswork out of the planning process, putting together wardrobes that allow a bride to make her own personal statement by customizing her flowers, personalizing her tabletop selections, and customizing her dance floor from a fabulously curated selection of design options," he said.

Streamlined Planning Process

Couples select a signature wardrobe as their foundation, then collaborate with Baha Mar's events team under Cowie's direction to customize floral installations, culinary experiences, entertainment, and spatial design.

The collection accommodates events of varying scales across multiple venues, from intimate ceremonies at the Rosewood Lawn to large-scale galas exceeding 1,000 guests on the Baha Bay Lawn.

Market Context

The partnership reflects growing demand among high-net-worth clients for pre-curated luxury event experiences that combine destination appeal with celebrity designer credentials. Baha Mar features three hotel brands—Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood—totaling over 2,300 rooms, positioning the resort for significant destination wedding volume.

Cowie Lifestyle operates globally with recent expansions to Miami and Florence, Italy, and maintains a portfolio including events for Oprah Winfrey, Atlantis Dubai, and Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Why It Matters

For wedding and event operators, this partnership signals how destination resorts are differentiating through branded design collaborations. By pre-packaging design concepts and attaching celebrity cachet, Baha Mar simplifies the luxury event sales process while elevating perceived value—a strategy increasingly adopted across high-end hospitality.
