My suggestion would be Treasure Cay in the Abacos. http://treasurecay.com/
Awesome beach and a good central hub for daily boat excursions to explore the surrounding islands.
You can easily spend a week and never visit the same island twice!

Both great destinations but they will be a hassle to get 20-30 out of town guests to/from.

I just got back from island hopping through the Abacos. It was a great place. Facebook me and you can see the pics. (Cameron Murray) We hit Green Turtle Cay, Great Guana Cay, Lubber's Landing on Lubber's Quarter (Austin is the OSO member that owns it, but it is just three small cottages - very nice, but not what you described you wanted), and Hopetown on Elbow Cay. There are some marinas and mini resorts in Hopetown that might work, as well as a couple on Greeen turtle Cay and Orchid Bay Marina on Great Guana Cay. I also hear nice things about Treasure Cay.

we are starting to lean towards renting several units in a mini resort, be the easiest way to keep everybody in the same area. Treasure Cay looks very nice and we could fly down to the cloisters for the day if that's where we have the ceremony.

So, we were married on the Windjammer SV Fantom in the Bahamas. There were three couples on that cruise, we anchored off Abaco and the minister of tourism/ordained minister did the service with the Captain walking the brides down the deck, and standing next to the minister. The cook made three wedding cakes and we had a rocking reception for the 6 of us. Far, Far, Far too much warm Stout, crew too. I honestly don't recall anything that occurred after 9:00 pm. Very bad off the next couple of days, sea sick and hung over.
Still married to the same wonderful gal, 22 years now.
The SV Fantom was lost with all hands in the hurricane Mitch in 1998, after putting passengers and non-essential crew off in Belize. They sailed south as Mitch was heading north and wanted to get beyond the storm to the south, as it had been forecast to continue north, but then it made a left turn and trapped them against the coast, Windjammer went out of business due to the loss and the lawsuits from the families. Heard they started up again, absolutely the best cruise I've ever been on, barefeet and swim suit for a week, good food (not fancy), sailing under the stars, snorkeling / beaching / exploring during the days.

I didnt read all of the replies but my wife and I got married on the beach about a half mile down the beach from Atlantis and used a wedding planner who got it all organized. I was GREAT! Just what we wanted. This is who we used and her email.

If your considering the Bahamas I would highly recommend her. My wife liked her so much that they are still in contact with each other.

Talked with my friend and he said they got a steep discount on rooms at Atlantis for hosting their wedding there. He said it came out around the same as other resorts, renting houses/beach cottages, etc.
