Moshulu

To keep this short, The Moshulu is hands down the best option for you buck. Our wedding was perfect, start to finish. Huge thank you to Rebecca at the Moshulu for exceptional service.

10/10 would recommend

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue. From the moment we walked onto The Moshulu, we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Our wedding was on 12/8/23 (we had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at The Moshulu). We had a little less than 100 guests, which ended up being the perfect amount of people. Jake and Rebecca were an absolute dream to work with; they made the planning process a breeze and quickly answered our many emails with detailed responses to our questions. The entire Moshulu staff was incredible and made us feel like royalty all day. They kept the suites stocked with food and drinks which was AMAZING. Everything came together better than we could have imagined, and the day went off without a hitch. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique of a venue it was. The holiday decor on the ship was so beautiful and complimented our decor perfectly - it looked and felt so magical! The food was SO good. In between the ceremony and cocktail hour, they set up a table filled with hor deourves and champagne in one of the suites, so we could take a few minutes to take in the moment and have a snack before joining our guests at cocktail hour - it was such a special moment. I cannot say enough good things about The Moshulu and all of its staff. If you are considering having your wedding here, I would 1000% recommend it.

The Moshulu was the first venue we looked at and we instantly fell in love and knew it was where we wanted to host our wedding reception. First, the ship is absolutely stunning and we knew it would give such a unique experience to our guests. Because it has such charm and character, we were able to focus on key details like centerpieces and signage rather than needing to worry about dressing a blank space! But more importantly, we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding because of how well we were treated by the Moshulu staff during every single interaction from our first tour until the big day! Jake was the absolute best to work with through everything! We found many other venues stick to a “cookie cutter” approach or up charge for every little thing… but as a vendor, the Moshulu was so incredibly flexible, collaborative, and accommodating with their wedding package to truly make it OUR day. It was such a pleasure to collaborate (and we really do mean collaborate!) with Jake and team on our vision, and our guests commented on the beauty of the ship all night long! We would highly recommend anyone host their event at the Moshulu!

We had the best possible experience working with Rebecca Levitsky throughout the process of planning our wedding at the Moshulu. The venue itself is inherently special and couldn’t be more picturesque. We had 60 guests, and the mid-deck area was the perfect size for our ceremony and reception. The process of wedding planning was as smooth as possible, thanks to Rebecca being extremely organized, approachable, and proactive. Rebecca met with me and my now husband numerous times to get to know us, understand our priorities, and ensure we felt completely confident that the team at Moshulu would make our vision come to life. Rebecca was responsive and prompt in answering all our questions over email and totally open to figuring out how to accommodate our less traditional ideas (like coordinating trays of lemon drop shots to be brought out to the dance floor!). Rebecca introduced us personally to the General Manager, Brett Keyes, the Day-of-Manager, Max Toth, and many members of the team who would be working on our wedding day. Moshulu’s pastry chef, Clarence Fortune, also met with us to create the most beautiful (and delicious!) wedding cake. Everyone was deeply committed to making sure we had the wedding day we imagined. On the day of our wedding, everything was executed perfectly. Rebecca and Max communicated with us throughout the celebration and made sure we were taken care of at all times, from having food/drinks in the bridal suites to generously serving us all three entree choices! They set up our decor exactly as we described, and the staff were all extremely attentive to our guests. Everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious the food was and how much they enjoyed the ambiance of being on the ship. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day and highly, highly recommend choosing Moshulu!

We had a wonderful experience getting married at the Moshulu. Jake, Rebecca, and Michelle were with us every step of the way from our first tour to our trip to collect our decorations after the wedding. The food and service were impeccable and we loved how flexible The Moshulu was about allowing us to bring in decor and other treats. The venue is beautiful and multiple guests told us it was the most unique wedding they’d attended. We also loved the ability to have our ceremony, cocktail and dinner hours, and reception in one space. The Moshulu staff did a brilliant job transitioning between different components of the wedding with no interruptions. Jake, Rebecca, and Michelle made sure that we as the brides had nothing to worry about, and they even brought us food so we were able to eat! We highly recommend The Moshulu.

For starters, Jake and Rebecca were SO easy to work with. We rescheduled multiple times due to covid and they were so flexible and accommodating.

Next, our wedding reception was INCREDIBLE! It was elegant, fun and seamless. We received sooo many compliments on our cocktail hour on the mid-deck and dinner in the state room. Multiple people mentioned that it must have cost a fortune - but it was actually so affordable compared to other venues!

We loved how everything was included and there wasn’t much decorating to do, since the boat itself is stunning.

If you are considering having your wedding at Moshulu, DO IT!!! You’ll have the time of your life, your guests will be amazing, and planning will be easy.

Thank you again to the entire staff at Moshulu!

When my husband and I first came to the Moshulu, we were blown away. The space is so uniquely gorgeous and cinematic, we instantly fell in love with it. From our first tour with Jake Wade (Moshulu’s sales director) through booking with him, and then multiple changes and postponements due to the pandemic, Jake was far and away the most professional, knowledgeable, gracious and kind person to work with. To the point that “OMG Jake is the BEST” were very common words throughout our planning process.

I feel so lucky that we booked at Moshulu for so many reasons. The venue itself, besides being stunning and the perfect setting for a unique wedding, is a historical marvel, and an epic place for a history- and boat-loving family to throw a party.
Secondly, the food is EXQUISITE. I could eat the braised short rib every day, and the hors d’oeuvres were out of this world. As was our cake! That’s right, venue, catering, and cake, all in one place. No need to bring in an outside caterer or baker or any table/linen rentals. It’s all in house and perfectly handled, which takes so much stress out of the equation!
Thirdly, getting to use multiple locations on the ship was ideal! We had our ceremony on the mid-deck at sunset and looking out over the water. (It was in December, and the heaters kept all of us so warm!) Then we had our dinner and toasts and first dances in the sate dining room, which is pure magic with its wooden walls and beams and gold accents and mirrored ceilings. Then we headed back up to the mid-deck for our dance party, complete with string lights, a disco ball, and an amazing set-up for our DJ on a balcony overlooking the dance floor. This area also has a wonderful bar area where our guests were served cake, more desserts, and yummy late night snacks. (Also, shoutout to bartender Andy. We love you!)
Lastly, I know we mentioned it at the top of this review, but Jake Wade! He’s just truly wonderful. He was so accommodating of our menu and bar desires, and it was clear from the start that he would do everything in is power to help us have the most glorious event would could imagine (and we did!). He worked so well with all of our vendors and was constantly the person we knew could help us with any issue. He's also just a legitimately cool person. We felt so prioritized and taken care of by him the entire process. And Jake’s team, Brett and all the servers and bartenders, did an absolutely incredible job day-of. We cannot say enough good things about the entire crew.
Our wedding was beyond epic, and our guests are still talking about it and about how incredibly *cinematic* it all was being aboard such a beautiful ship. Cleary, we ADORE the Moshulu, and we recommend booking with them wholeheartedly.

My now husband and I got engaged in 2018 and just got married on 5/21/21. Moshulu was one of the first venues we toured in 2018 and we fell in love. By the fall of that year, we had a contract with them. Jake was in contact with us all the way. Even though we were so far out, he answered our questions, told us things we should be concerned about and things we don't need to be. He always made us feel at ease. Michelle is also extremely wonderful. During our cocktail hour, she overheard one of our guests asking what was in each hors-d'oeuvre because he was allergic to many different foods. She went out of her way to bring him a tray of food he could eat! Michelle made my husband and my plates during the reception as we were walking around greeting guests and made sure to check on us periodically throughout the night. I cannot recommend having your event at the Moshulu enough. Everything was spectacular--thanks Jake and Michelle!
