Hometown Harbor Wedding

My husband and I both grew up in Gloucester & I'd been sailing on the Lannon for years, as my cousin grew up part of the crew and an alternate captain. We knew we wanted to include them in our wedding celebrations. Captain Heath & crew went above and beyond to make our day & sail special. We got married in mid-October near the end of the sailing season & they didn't hesitate to keep the boat open for us. Not only did they help day of with set up & expert sailing (our wedding day was smack in the middle of two Nor'easter storms!) but they were communicative & incredibly reasonable with pricing. We still have folks talk about how much fun they had at our wedding six years later! We would highly recommend booking with the Lannon for a beautiful & memorable experience!

The Most Perfect and Memorable Wedding Venue!

Getting married aboard the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon was truly the wedding of our dreams. The Gloucester Harbor setting was breathtaking — the sea breeze, the sunset, and the beauty of the boat created an atmosphere that was both romantic and unforgettable.

Captain Heath and his crew were absolutely wonderful to work with. They made the entire planning process effortless — communication was clear, every detail was handled professionally, and the day itself went off without a hitch. We were able to just relax and enjoy every moment.

Since our wedding, my wife and I have made it a tradition to charter an anniversary sail each year, and every time we’re reminded of how special that first day was.

If you’re looking for a unique, intimate, and truly memorable place to say “I do,” I can’t recommend the Schooner Lannon enough. It’s an experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
