Planned my wedding on the Capital Elite Yacht for our small wedding of 40 guests in exactly one month. Rachel did a wonderful job coordinating the most cost efficient option for us and we were able to personalize so much of our big day. My groom and I were very pleased with how everything looked and ended up. Our food was delicious, we were able to upgrade to a carving beef station since we had seafood allergies on board and our guests were waited on quite well. DJ Fred was in touch with us beforehand and did everything we requested. The only hiccup was parking, which we thought we had figured out using the parking garage under the Safeway until that was full and a family member had to panic for parking fast. The wharf is under construction and to my knowledge, working on adding better parking. We both highly recommend the capital elite for a small wedding, because how many people can say they got married on a private yacht?!

I never imagined my wedding to be so amazing!! We had SO MUCH FUN on our wedding night, and sailing around the Potomac made it absolutely magical! The staff on the boat are absolutely accommodating, and made for the most magnificant wedding we could ever ask for! Our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had, and how unique of an experience it was so have the reception on a ship!! We are forever grateful to the staff for making the night one to remember!! They arranged the entire night, from the ceremony to all the components of the reception! It was nice to have our own Dj in our section playing our favorite songs, as we danced the night away! I highly recommend this vendor!!
