Wedding Related: Anybody get married on a yacht?

Sorry, my BFF got engaged and is looking for a reception site...I know where *most* of you got married but I am appealing mostly to the lurkers or new girls...LOL Anyway, there are so many negative things about yacht weddings I just wanted to know if anybody had any good experiences...thanks!

  • Are you still in contact with mrswright?  She did yvett's wedding and it was on a yacht, but I don't remember which one.  If I remember correctly, yvett was pretty happy with her experience.
  • LOL was *just* thinking of emailing her, D.

  • Hi Zee!

    I've only had bad experiences on Yachts, but they were scheduled in the hottest of months. I don't know if that's what made everyone so irritable or not. Also, stay away from Hornblower Cruises. They are all over the place when it comes to keeping things running smoothly. I've experienced everything from failed Air Conditioning systems to a complete BLACK OUT in the middle of the harbor. Floating on a boat in the dark is no bueno.  Also, if her guest list is 100 make sure she gets a yacht that can fit 125+  comfortably. Space is always a huge issue.....

    Just my 2 cents. :)

  • One of my best friends got married on a yacht out of Newport (Lido) in October 2007.  It was nice but very crowded for dinner.  I could barely get up and down to get my food and could not move my chair.  Where they had the DJ was considered outside (second level) so no air and it was hot (12-4/5?). I was not comfortable.  If your guests are late they will miss it (my friend made note of this in the invitation).  
  • I attended a wedding on a yacht in Marina del Rey. It sucked. the food was bad, the service was bad, the wind was bad, and people got sick.
  • i've attended events on yachts with hornblower out of newport and they sucked. ?you're stuck on a boat with nowhere to go for the duration of the event. ?blech.

  • my friend got married on one back in '01 (I was a BM) and I don't recommend.  the wedding was 4 hours - ceremony was about 10 min, followed immediately by pictures, then the cake cutting, eating, a little dancing, then off the boat.  it was way too rushed.

    and who cuts the cake before even eating?  just weird.

    People who want cake cutting photos before the sun sets, I think it's lame though.

  • Ahhh, even better to know from a guests POV...thanks ladies!

  • There were a few girls on the OC knot board that got married on yachts not that long ago, not sure if they are still around but you could try asking on the OC knot board too.
  • We threw a super fab 50th anniversary party on a cruise and it was "eh" at best. Not worth it IMO.
