Argosy brought the vision of our boat wedding to life!

We recently got married on the Lady Mary with a guestlist of about 60 people. The boat was the perfect place to get married and then party after. The Argosy staff, especially the venue coordinator Justin, was helpful in the lead-up to our wedding and worked with us to get the boat set up the way we wanted it for our ceremony and reception. The staff on the boat was great during our wedding and Captain Tony gave us a smooth ride through Lake Union and Lake Washington. Being on a boat provided such beautiful and unique views for our wedding, and we heard positive feedback from all guests regarding the venue itself and the staff. Overall, the Argosy crew brought the vision of our boat wedding to life!

Outstanding place to have a wedding!

We could not be happier than having our wedding on the Lady Mary on Sept 25, 2021. The staff was outstanding and our party of 60 had an amazing time. Our captain even allowed our two young boys to "play captain" for a time. They were thrilled as were we! Thank you, Captain!

Stunning Views of Skyline and So Romantic!

My husband and I recently had our wedding and reception on an Argosy Cruise ship with their flexible Wedding Package. It was the perfect venue for us. Not only is it unique, but the views (as the Captain cruised around the lakes) were amazing. Peter and Kelly were fantastic with helping us plan all the details and answering all our questions. Everything was set up just the way we wanted it. The evening of our wedding, Captain House was delightful and greeted us and all our guests as we boarded The Lady Mary. The boat is gorgeous and just the right size for us with covered and open areas. All the crew members were so polite and helpful to every one of us. Having our wedding on an Argosy Cruise ship was so romantic and everyone had a wonderful time We always remember our perfect boat wedding!

Note: Since we had both the ceremony and reception on the boat, we did book an extra hour. And we are so glad we did that because our night seemed to be over in a heartbeat! So make sure you book enough time if you are going to do both on the boat. It's worth it!

Argosy cruises was absolutely a fantastic wedding venue. Peter worked with us closely to ensure our needs were met, even when we needed to make changes halfway through. He and Jennifer were very responsive, and the crew really made sure the day was special and wonderful. Everyone is RAVING about how beautiful and special the venue was. A+! Would do again!

This review is specifically for the boat named Celebrations (which departed from the docks on South Lake Union) and all associated crew. Working with Peter Robinson and Jennifer Stonestreet of Argosy Cruises in order to coordinate the boat rental, catering, and all the other small details was super easy. They made it a breeze when helping me to pull everything together. They answered all of my questions and were very clear about everything. The Celebrations is a lovely little boat, perfect for my smaller, more intimate wedding ceremony and reception. And let's not forget the captain! Captain Kristi Schooley was such a joy to work with. She was so sweet, genuinely happy for my husband and I. If you get the chance, try to book her for your wedding!

Our wedding on argosy was amazing! Peter's assistance with the planning ensure that everyone would be amazing. The whole team worked together to make sure our day was perfect. I would highly recommend hiring their day of wedding coordinators as ours was a lifesaver. She was there prepared with everything that we didn't think of. To us, she was a priceless addition to our wedding. I would also highly recommend getting the addition hour (or more) added to the weddding. With the 3 hours we were able to enjoy our wedding (we were a little rushed from event to event but still enjoyed everything) and a brief reception but would definitely have liked more time.

I worked with Peter and Michelle to make the most fun wedding ever! Peter was wonderful with all the little changes I wanted to make. His personality and expertise made my experience so positive and easy! My wedding coordinator, Michelle, that I purchased through Argosy was fabulous!! She was on top of all the details for the day and I was able to just enjoy my wedding. I would recommend this type of wedding to anyone! We had 50 people in the Sky Lounge and it was the perfect setting. The most fun wedding we have been to and it was ours! Thank you Argosy!

My only issue was the cost of the alcohol, it should have included the gratuity as well. Pretty amazing if you pick the correct venue on the ROYAL Argosy...not the small boats

Aug. 20 we held our wedding and reception on the Argosy SkyLounge. The captain's ceremony was included in the package. The ceremony was lovely, with a view overlooking the Olympics. We ordered the platinum package so food and drinks were included for one price. Both food and drinks were very good and the wait staff was experienced and professional. My only criticism was that the hour we were given to set up was not enough time...as we brought aboard some decorations including gift boxes, candles and additional flowers and when we arrived not one table was set up. All in all it worked out...but did cause some anx up front. We received cards of thanks from many of the guests afterwards for the "wonderful wedding and reception- the best they'd ever attended!"
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
