Choosing a unique wedding venue can be a challenge.
Many couples dream of a destination-style wedding in a picturesque location, but there’s always a risk that guests might not be able to make it due to the added distance and cost.
Thankfully, a destination wedding solution is a little closer to home – a delightful swan river wedding cruise on board a luxury vessel. It’s different, romantic, breathtakingly beautiful, and more accessible for guests.
As a bonus, you can save time and money by having your ceremony and reception at one idyllic location! Now you have your ideal venue, here are some helpful planning tips for the perfect Perth wedding charter.
Give yourself plenty of time.
First, assemble your guest list as soon as possible and ask for early RSVP’s.
Pro Tip: Having a good indication of your guest numbers helps you secure the perfect vessel for your big day.
Choose appropriate attire.
Once you’ve decided on an incredible venue, you’ll know the most appropriate style of wedding and bridesmaid dresses. A wedding dress with a long train and huge flowing veil might be more of a pain than perfection, mainly if there’s a lovely breeze on board.
Pro Tip: Choose dresses that allow for freedom of movement and avoid very high heels.
Develop a checklist with your cruise manager.
Lastly, another great reason to have a boat wedding is that your expert cruise manager can help you immensely with the considerable to-do list you’ll be working through. Working closely with them, develop a checklist and define what items you can delegate to your cruise manager to organise for you. This will take a massive load off your shoulders and allow you to work on the fun and finer details.
Checklist Example:
- Vessel pick-up and drop-off locations
- Transport to and from the vessel
- Decor items, decorations and theming
- Set-up and seating/floor plan
- Event timings
- Catering, beverages and wedding cake (supply and delivery).
- Service staff and event coordinator
- Music and entertainment
Surely, a majestic Swan River wedding charter is the perfect way for Perth couples to celebrate the beauty of our city and treat guests to an intimate and unforgettable occasion. A beautiful, seamlessly planned wedding choc full of memories to last a lifetime.
