How to achieve a great yacht wedding

Having a wedding on a boat is a unique, fun idea for an unforgettable destination wedding. There are many benefits of celebrating a yacht wedding, for example you can celebrate the ceremony and reception in the same place, and some yachts can even provide guest accommodation – convenience is always welcome!

If you have decided on a yacht for your wedding venue, this article can help you think about the next stages to make your yacht wedding a huge success as we go through some tips for planning a yacht wedding.

1. Plan where you want to go

You will probably have an idea of the country in which you wish to have your yacht wedding, (it is a good idea to ensure this is a warm, dry country such as Spain!) but now you must decide on the route you want your boat to take. You can really take advantage of having a yacht wedding as you can sail to different locations – you may want to do stop offs to celebrate certain points of your wedding. So planning a route in advance is a good idea to make the most out of your yacht wedding!

2. Pick a boat!

One of the most fun parts of planning a yacht wedding is choosing the boat which will become your wedding venue. When choosing a boat, you must consider practicalities such as the capacity of the boat to ensure that your guests will fit on it, if there’s catering space and space for a party, as well as the style you like.

3. Decoration

Now you have your boat, it’s time to think of how you want it to look! Decoration is important to set the atmosphere and style of your wedding. Perhaps you could choose a nautical theme for your yacht wedding?

4. Menu

Time to think about catering! What sort of food would you and your guests enjoy the most? To keep with a nautical theme, the incorporation of sea food into a menu could be a popular choice. Of course seafood isn’t your only option and doesn’t have to take up the whole menu – you could choose to add local delicacies of the place in which you’re getting married!

5. Entertaintment

Wedding celebrations would not be complete without some form of entertainment and there are countless options of entertainment for your yacht wedding: a DJ, a live singing group, dancers, and if you’re celebrating in the Spanish sea why not choose flamenco?!

Of course choosing a wedding planner to help you design the perfect wedding is a good option to guarantee a stress-free successful day. If you wish to get in touch with our wedding planner, or for any other information, you can write to us at info@perfectvenue.es.
