I was treated like a Princess by the staff. It was a dream come true

I felt incredibly taken care of the day of the Wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better working staff!

Lovely and Classy Wedding On Waters

We had a lovely wedding night last November 2021. Jane, Nina, and Alexis were so wonderful! They were very lenient to our request, especially our last minute changes. As the bride, it was easy to tell them what I wanted, how I wanted, and where I wanted everything to be. I even designed our floorplan! Not to mention, their parnter vendor for the cake is exquisite... the cake was amazing. We got a 3 tier, 3 flavor cake for our 75 guests. It was amazing.

Jane, our event manager, was the sweetest. She made our planning experience as smooth as it can be. Nita, who was our wedding planner met with us a few times to make sure everything we want is in place. She was very transparent with our options. Alexis, our day of coordinator was friendly and attentive to our needs during the event.

Overall, from all the events I planned and attended, my wedding was the best because of City Cruises in Marina del Rey and its lovely and wonderful staff. Highly recommend to all busy couples out there. You will not regret it!

Excellent service and amazing experience

The folks at Hornblower were amazing to work with from the first call to the wedding wrap-up. Picking the packages was made easy by Jane, and coordinating details was so easy-going with the overall coordinator, Elizabeth. Our on-site coordinator, Megan, and the Captain, Dave, and their entire wedding event team were phenomenal! The food was delicious. Our vegetarians and vegans raved that it was some of the best food at a wedding that they'd ever had. Every vendor that Hornblower recommended was amazing and easy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough!
