I recently had my wedding on the Cloud 9 IV Luxury Yacht and had the most amazing time! The food was delicious and all our guests were satisfied and loving every part of it. The staff went above and beyond for us. They were incredibly accommodating...especially Vicki...she was so helpful! Also, Mariann was truly the best! She made sure all my wishes were met and that I was happy at all times! She was able to put my visions into reality and the decor was beautiful! All of our friends and family were very impressed with the entire cruise and atmosphere throughout our event.
We did not want the night to end! My husband and I would highly recommend this venue...very easy planning from start to finish!
I am so excited my friend just booked her wedding on the same boat after seeing how amazing ours was!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
