Yacht weddings
A ceremony on an open deck as the yacht passes the Statue of Liberty, then a reception inside with the skyline moving past the windows. Yacht Events has planned weddings on the water for more than two decades, including multi-cultural Indian weddings, kosher receptions and intimate ceremonies for a few dozen guests.
What we handle
- Ceremony and reception vessel selection
- Wedding reception menus and bar service
- Floral, lighting and décor transformation
- Officiant, music and photography coordination
- Guest boarding from Manhattan or New Jersey
The venue sails with you
Choose a vessel with an observation deck for the ceremony and a dining salon for the reception — Atlantica, Sundancer, Royal Princess and Lexington all carry bridal suites — or take a classic 1920s yacht for a smaller celebration. Many vessels are fully climate controlled, so the season is yours to choose.
Menus written for the two of you
The culinary team builds each wedding menu around your tastes, from a cocktail-hour raw bar to a plated dinner, with kosher and South Asian menus available. Your own cake is served alongside a dessert selection.
Steven on board
Steven personally attends the weddings he plans, coordinating the ceremony, the toasts, the first dance and the timing of the cruise so the sunset lands where you want it.
The menu
Menus are written for each event by our culinary team; this published menu is the starting point.
“I recently had my wedding reception on the Destiny yacht. Steve Tanzman in particular is a rockstar coordinator. The menu is very open to customization and the waitstaff is great.”

“I told Steve what I wanted and he did everything to accommodate me and went beyond that. It's been five years now and the guests are still talking about my daughter's wedding.”
Mother of the bride
“The night was exactly what we wanted from start to finish and multiple people told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Steven was even on board during the wedding making sure everything ran smoothly.”
Wedding
“Steven was so personable, honest and helpful creating the plan for our perfect wedding ceremony and reception at a very reasonable cost. He made sure every detail was taken care of the night of the wedding by personally attending.”
