Easiest wedding planning process and most perfect wedding I could have ever imagined!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sunquest Cruises and every person I worked with or encountered from the company throughout the wedding planning process and the wedding day itself. From day one, they were always so thoughtful, helpful and never missed a beat. Once we got paired with our wedding planner, Courtney, I told her that I had pretty much no clue what I was doing, but had a color scheme and general idea of what we wanted; to say she made our vision come to life is an understatement. I don't know how many times I told her, "Courtney, it's like you can read my mind!" Every single detail was flawless and perfectly represented what we wanted as a couple. The flowers were just about the most beautiful florals I've ever seen, the food was INCREDIBLE, the in-house DJs were so fun and sweet, the wait staff on board was kind and attentive, our day of coordinator, Jeremy, was a helpful and calming presence, and overall the day was just perfect. Our guests truly were raving about every aspect of the event. I'm so thrilled we chose Sunquest for our wedding, and I will never forget how special it was.

Sandestin Wedding

We vacation at Sandestin every year and knew we wanted to get married there. The yacht was the perfect venue! We loved working with Courtney and Emma, who were our planners. They brought our exact vision to life! The entire team, from the Captain, to the house DJs, to the staff, were incredible. We can't wait to come back and visit for a dinner cruise the next time we are in town!

Wedding on the water 🤍

Our dream was to get married on the water and the Solaris Yacht was perfect! We loved the all-inclusive package and having Sunquest take care of everything. The planning, the flowers, the food, the music, the photography was all taken care of. We would choose the yacht again and again as our wedding venue.
