Personalized Sailaway Wedding Cruise

The best hosts know that the little thoughtful touches make a good experience great! A wedding at sea is pretty unique, but are you worried about whether you’ll be able to personalize your wedding cruise?
Read on for real-life examples of ways that couples can customize their wedding at sea:
  1. Personalize your wedding reception playlist and bar menu.
  2. Greet your guests with welcome bags. You can include the itinerary and helpful items like sunscreen, mints, wipes, advil, and a necklace or bracelet to hold their room key.
  3. Send chocolate-covered strawberries or flowers with a sweet note to the rooms of special members of your party. We can help order this in advance.
  4. Put little gifts on the dinner tables. These could be little bags of chocolate kisses,  candies with a sticker of the couple’s initials, thank you cards hand written by the wedding couple, and more!
  5. Throw a welcome party on the first night! Make it as formal or informal as you want. You can host a game night or a “rehearsal” dinner - it’s up to you! We can help schedule this event with the cruise line.
  6. Create a wedding day newspaper for guests to read as they wait for the ceremony to start.
  7. Host extra wedding festivities that represent your culture or traditions and include your guests. Examples:
    • Ketubah singing ceremony
    • Mendi party
    • Other religious or cultural ceremonies or traditions
    • Bridal getting ready space for the bride to get ready with her girls
    • Bachelor pre wedding whiskey tasting or other bachelor pre wedding options
    • Family gatherings for the 2 new families to meet
    • A group excursion for the couple to go on a boat ride, swim with dolphins, or another activity with their guests at a port
We have the experience to help you plan all the little details to make your wedding at sea exactly as you want it!
