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.
