Amazing- simple - stress free!

We had a surprise wedding! Everyone thought the big surprise was a proposal, then dinner, but the real surprise was 25 minutes later, we’d get married! The staff was excel, food perfect, the staff kept the surprise and it was an epic event!!

If you're looking for an unforgettable wedding then go to Flagship! Our guests absolutely loved their experience on the California Princess and said many times "this is the best wedding we've been to!" I really appreciate how attentive the staff was to me day of because I was nervous and brought me a ginger lemon drink to help calm my stomach. The day of coordinator, Chrissy, was superb and helped everything run smoothly. Flagship was also so flexible with us when our officiant had to leave right after for the ceremony for an emergency and they allowed the Coast Guard to come up along the ship for an emergency transfer. Thank God my husband serves in the Coast Guard because I don't know how else that would have been done! Either way, great experience and made my wedding day so special.

The whole experience was amazing! We had our wedding on the California Princess and worked with Cristina V. to plan. It was a destination wedding from several states away with approximately 128 guests. She was so helpful and responsive. Every question we asked she was informative and found a way to make what we wanted happen. The boat was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest had the best time. As a busy bride I didn’t have to worry once about details with the boat. They were so flexible with my constantly changing number of guests right up to only days before. They accommodated high chairs and strollers on board too. What they said the cost would be was exactly what it was and the invoice was very clear and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend Flagship. They used their experience and expertise with wedding andadded in our personal touches with no problem and made our wedding absolutely perfect.

I don't know where to begin! We were THOROUGHLY impressed with our experience with Flagship. From the Sales Executive, Cristina Vazquez, who met with us on her day off to take us on a tour of the vessels and then she proceeded to answer my every question for the past few months....to the Wedding Planner/Cruise Director, Chrissy Padden, who thought of what we needed before we thought of it...and John and Michelle, and J Dean (DJ)...WOW! Top notch service and a first class experience! We heard unsolicited feedback from many of the guests who attended our wedding about the excellent service! The California Spirit is a gorgeous vessel and my dream wedding was truly dreamy thanks to Flagship! Our food was delicious...and we were treated like celebrities! The ceremony with the backdrop that the Captain made certain to capture with the positioning of the yacht was picture perfect! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We had our August wedding reception at the California Princess. We had 80 guests and about half of them came from Texas, it was a great way to give them a unique experience. We love every part of it, from the moment of contacting them to the day of I have nothing but great things to say. We worked with Margie and she is absolutely the best, she is very quick to respond, she was there to answer any questions I had, there were days that I would freak about small details and she made sure to answer all my concerns and questions. We then met Chrissy our day coordinator, she was amazing. We literally did not worry about anything that day. We literally showed up and ENJOYED the best day of our lives. Our guest have given us so many compliments about the place, the service and the food. It was truly amazing and if I had the opportunity to go back I would chose flagship for this day again. It was worth every dollar, if you are looking for a unique place this is your place to go. The views were amazing, and nothing can compare to celebrate the most special day of your life than to cruise around the San Diego Bay area.

We worked with Margie to plan our destination wedding for our 65 guests aboard the California Princess yacht on May 30th, 2015. It was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our wedding. Margie and her team were incredibly flexible to work with which was so important to us since we were wedding planning in a 3 hour time zone difference. The quality of service that we received from the entire Flagship team was greater than any other experience we've ever had. Our guests are still raving about the customer service, the amazing quality of food, and the entire event. We are so happy with our decision and the memories that were created for us and our guests that will last a lifetime. THANK YOU FLAGSHIP, Margie, Chrissy, and team. With love, Jennifer and Jonathan.
