A Wedding on the Aqua Azul is Magical for all!

My daughter’s wedding on the Aqua Azul yacht was a magical experience. The entire event was very professional from the beginning, 6 months ahead, to the final moments of the wedding evening. Dorit was very helpful in the planning process which I did from out-of-state. Her input in decisions was always in the bride’s and groom’s best interest. The contract and the plan for the evening were very clear and exact, and she delivered on all promises. The additional requests I made were willingly met. Dorit managed the entire affair with grace. She was the foundation for a truly memorable experience.
The Aqua Azul was well appointed, exceptionally clean and updated. Dorit provided all the furnishings, from tables and chairs to linens, dishes, glassware and decor. The yacht was spacious, with bathrooms and a bar on each of the four levels. The ramp and elevator were essential for guests with limited mobility.
The formality of the dinner was greatly appreciated. From the passed appetizers to the buffet and the wedding cake, the food was elegantly presented and delicious. The spacious dining room was comfortable for all. The indoor and outdoor dining options were appreciated.
I highly recommend a wedding and reception on the Aqua Azul because an event on the the Aqua Azul is truly an adventure for all.

Easy peasy wedding planning!

Dorit and her team were very professional and provided top notch service. The all- inclusive package made lives easy for us and it’s well worth the price tag. Our guests loved the whole experience and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our reception on the Aqua Azul.

Our wedding aboard the Aqua Azul this past Sunday was more than anything we could have hoped for!!!! The yacht itself is so beautiful, but to see the way it was set up for our wedding made it magical. We had ~180 guests and it was so impressive how smoothly the entire evening flowed!! Dorit was so accommodating and flexible with all our requests through the entire planning process and the staff throughout our reception was friendly and attentive. We've had so many of our family members and friends tell us how unique our reception was, which was exactly the feeling we were going for :) Thank you so much, Dorit and everyone at the Aqua Azul for the wedding of our dreams!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
