Cruise Ship Weddings New York Are A Great Alternative Choice

By Ann Lewis


Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, so you definitely want to do it right. There are lots of moving parts to planning a wedding, and it can seem pretty stressful at times. Take a look at cruise ship weddings New York to help you not only get a great, unique location for your wedding, but to also help with all the planning.

There is nothing quite like a wedding out on the water. Guests get the experience of fresh sea air while still staying close to land in New York, NY. The sound of waves lapping on the side of the boat provides a calming feeling. The boat is large, but not so large that people get lost or can't find the dining room or other facilities.

On ships in the Harbor, there are two main kinds of weddings that can be conducted. The first is the shipboard kind, which holds the ceremony and often a reception after. The boat never leaves the general area, so after the reception is over, it makes its way back to the pier, where you and your guests disembark, after which you can get the honeymoon started.

The other less common type of cruising ceremony is held onboard a larger, traditional cruise ship, which leaves after the ceremony to other countries as a part of your honeymoon. Your entire wedding party does not have to go on the honeymoon with you, though. They can simply get onboard for the exchange of vows, and then leave after a short reception.

The shipboard kind is much more laid back and affordable, and the one that many New Yorkers clamor to when they want a unique wedding experience and the feeling of being out on the water. It is much like a traditional ceremony, because the boats come with ample dining rooms space, a bridal suite and plenty of bathroom and changing facilities for both guests and members of the wedding party. There are plenty of amenities for all needs.

Most companies that own ships that hold these ceremonies have tiers or levels of service available. You can choose from a served and seated dinner where each guest gets their plates brought to them from a preplanned menu. Then there is the buffet, where they get to choose from a large selection of foods to suit any appetite and dietary need. A band can be provided, or you can bring your own onboard with you.

One of the best perks is you get to work with a team to help bring all this together. The stress of planning your big day melts away as an experienced team lays out all your options and takes care of all the logistics and details. This lets you focus only on getting married, and not on the running of the ceremony.

If you need to hold a rehearsal dinner or even an engagement party, it can all be done on the same ship with the same planners guiding you through it. This also helps guests know where to go on the wedding day, since they have been there before. Even bachelorette and bachelor parties can be held there, allowing you to let loose a bit before the actual ceremony.
