If you want your wedding to truly to be memorable, you have to make it that way. Choosing a unique and memorable setting for your big day rather than the traditional wedding venue is a great place to start.
That’s why something memorable like a yacht wedding will continue to spark the mind your guests (and yourself) for years to come. Although this is not a new concept, it is definitely unique and getting trendier by the minute! So, if you like yachts (and we know you do!), here are 5 great wedding ideas and tips to consider for your Yacht Wedding.
The best of both worlds
People generally think that yacht weddings require having both the ceremony and reception onboard. This is not true at all!Â
Here is an idea - combine the best of both worlds - get married onshore and continue the reception & celebration onboard. What are the onshore possibilities? Church, monastery, castle, palace, fortress, lighthouse, garden, park, hilltop, beach, bay, resort, hotel, villa, restaurant… Almost endless.Â
Think carefully about the size of the yacht
While smaller boats can usually comfortably hold up to 20 guests, this more intimate wedding may not suit every couple. Luckily, if you have up to 40 guests, or even up to 100 guests, you could choose to rent a mini-cruiser(s). They are comfortable, stable, and luxurious and there's plenty of room on board for all your guests.
A week long celebration
Another great idea is to not only enjoy your special day on the yacht but to enjoy the whole week. This means that after getting married and having your wedding reception, you then continue to cruise among beautiful islands and coastlines for 5 - 7 days. Is there a better idea than to combine your wedding and honeymoon in one? Maybe, but we can’t think of any!
Destination idea
Need some destination ideas? A top choice for yacht weddings is a Mediterranean country with an amazing coastline located next to Italy. That country has over 1200 islands. The climate, culture, nature, food and the people are perfect. We’re talking about Croatia!
Croatia is a fabulous location for both your wedding day and honeymoon. The gorgeous coastline would be a gorgeous backdrop to your yacht wedding celebrations.
Hire a wedding planner
For less stress and more enjoyment, leave it to professionals. The planning can be extensive and you'll need to take a lot of things into consideration - from guest safety to local suppliers and the fine details of decor. All of this can be difficult to manage if you are planning an overseas wedding. So, a top tip is to hire wedding planner to arrange everything for you, especially when getting married on a yacht! They'll have the connections and professional expertise to help you have the most wonderful day.Â
