Julie and Kristi at Sunquest cruises have been extremely help thus far as I’m planning a wedding in a very short timeframe. They answered the 5 million questions I had and reduced my stress while planning a destination wedding. I will come back with an additional review after my big day!

Best wedding ever!
We chose Sunquest because we wanted to give our guests a unique experience and we are still so thrilled that we made that decision. The entire staff is so friendly and Julie, our assigned coordinator, was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond and I will forever be grateful to her for all of her hard work. We had our ceremony on the beach (through Sunquest) and our reception on the Solaris Yacht. All of it was memorable. Weeks later, our guests are still raving about how beautiful and fun the entire wedding was as well as how delicious the food was. We seriously could not be happier and I highly recommend anyone who is considering Solaris as an option to do it. I wish I could relive my perfect wedding day a hundred more times.

We love our wedding at the Solaris
We had an awesome wedding at the Solaris. The staff were nice, professional, the food was so good, we had a lot of compliments about the food, our guests had a wonderful time. The only thing was that the audio was having feedback during the ceremony and so the mic was turned off and the music was turned down so it wasn't loud enough. Also, we didn't know there was a gate and a code going to the boat at the Marina, and some of the guests got stock at the gate. Other than that, the ceremony and reception were great! Love the djs the wedding day planner. Also, Julie our wedding planner was great! She's so sweet and accommodated most if not all of our requests. It was a wedding day to remember. We just sat back and relax and everything was taken cared of. Our waiter was also very professional and took care of our food and drinks upto the send off where he drove us in the golf cart to the parking lot. Excellent experience overall.

I planned a wedding where the reception was on the Solaris. The staff were great to work with and the food was excellent! It is an ideal location for a reception. The music was great and everyone enjoyed being able to utilized all areas of the yacht.
We've been fortunate to work with SunQuest Cruises on a few occasions. Not only is their service excellent but the experience is one-of-a-kind. They take care of their clients and it shows! Highly recommend them!
