Jobeth C. Sent on 05/07/2024Despite terrible weather, the absolute best day ever
We had been tossing around the idea of a boat wedding for a few months. When we saw the Selina II and how absolutely stunning she is I knew immediately she was for us. We wanted a private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what we got. Captain Iris gave us the most beautiful ceremony, like she had known us forever. She definitely has a way with words. She and Colin were incredibly flexible and were proactive in coming up with a plan, a back up and even another back up as the weather didn't want to cooperate with us. She watched the radar and offered to go out earlier so we could get off the dock without rain. Captain and crew were so helpful with all of my dress and patient with our family and photographer. If I could give 10 stars I would. I cannot say enough good things. Professional, flexible, totally affordable, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a no pressure, intimate, picturesque, unforgettable experience.Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:

Refreshingly Easy and Unforgettable
Captain Iris was an absolute delight to work with. Not only is she a seasoned Captain, she is timely, responsive, professional and extremely pleasant.
St. Selina is a charming and classy sailboat that provided the ideal setting for our intimate wedding on the water at St. Michael’s Marina.
If you are looking for a waterside wedding with a unique flair in a picturesque setting, look no further!Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:

Perfect Intimate Wedding Setting
We were looking for a small intimate wedding setting. Sail Selina II was perfect for us. Not only is Selina II and the town of St. Michael's beautiful, the captain and crew made the day extra special. We had the most perfect day, very romantic yet casual. We did the 2 hour sail and then had our friends and family waiting for us in the Harbor to celebrate. The ceremony performed onboard was exactly what we were looking for when committing our vows to one another. I would highly recommend Sail Selina II for any couple looking for a romantic, intimate wedding ceremony. Many thanks for making our day special.Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:
Thanks Ginger and Mike, your special day was so much fun! It’s obvious how much you love each other. Thanks for letting us be a part of such a tender moment in your lives. -

Deneen B. Sent on 05/26/2022Amazing experience! Wish I could do it again!
We just got married by Captain Iris this past Sunday :) We were very nervous about how the sail would go, without having a rehearsal dinner or anything ;) but Captain Iris explained the process and it was smooth sailing there on out!! Her matter of fact mannerisms cracked us up as well in the best way, it was so genuine :) The write-up of “our story”, the readings, and entire “under sail” ceremony was perfect!!! The first mate was wonderful also! They worked so well together and the way Captain Iris steered the boat while sailing was a sight! Thank you so much for making this long awaited event better than we even expected!Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:
Thanks Deneen & Dave for sharing your very special day with us with our Ceremony Under Sail! Your story is lovely and you union blessed by the love you have for each other. And thanks for your 5 star review of Sail Selina Weddings in St Michaels, MD. -

Jennifer R. Sent on 08/04/2020Amazing one of a kind wedding
Captain Iris and her crew did everything to make our wedding amazing and one of a kind. Reverend Bonnie's service made our guests believe she knew us for a very long time. She focused on the key aspects of what makes us ... "Us." Our guests commented on the uniqueness of our venue and ceremony. We would highly recommend Sail Selina II for a one of a kind wedding experience.Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:
Thanks so much for your kind words! We strive to give our couples an extraordinary experience from the stress free planning stages, to creating a customized service which reflects who you really are, to the magic of riding on a beautifully restored historic yacht. We are so happy your day was so special and perfect! -

Rona H. Sent on 06/15/2021Selina went above and beyond to see that our wedding was fantastic
We chose the Selina because St Michaels is our favorite lil town on the Eastern Shore. Captain Iris and her crew took care of us and made sure we received everything That the very reasonable price of the wedding package offered. I highly recommend the Selina as a venue for a small wedding group!Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:
Thank you Rona, we are so glad we were able to rearrange schedules to dodge the storm forecast for the afternoon. It was simply fantastic that the photographer was able to juggle her baby sitter, the bagpiper could come early, Rev Bonnie could juggle her child care, the hairstylist could get you in early, the baker was able to come through, whew! It was your special day and I’m glad it all worked out perfectly! Congratulations! -

Amazing and Beautiful Wedding Experience
My now husband and I wanted something elegant and beautiful while low stress and very intimate for our special day. St Selina was absolutely perfect. From beginning to end, Captain Iris made it so easy. She was so accommodating from the moment we booked and continued to walk us through the entire process. The 1920 monohull was so unique, beautiful, and romantic for a wedding day. The cake, champagne, and service was top of the line. Finally the setting.... talk about gorgeous. The entire experience was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommended for any special event (anniversary, proposal, wedding, etc).Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:
Thank you so much for trusting us with your special day. We take so much pride in offering exemplary service and great value for a moderate price. My grandfather’s yacht is a gem and my staff and I love sharing her to create super memorable experiences! Congratulations! -Capt Iris -

My husband and I had a private ceremony aboard the Selina II and it could not have been more perfect! The crew was outstanding and helpful (especially since we had a bit of rain). Everything was beautiful and it was clear that they knew what to do to make the experience memorable. Reverend Bonnie did a perfect job officiating, it was as if she’d known us for years! I would highly recommend if you are considering a small ceremony or elopement! -

Our experience was unforgettable! We had a small wedding ceremony with our immediate family members aboard the Selina II in Saint Michaels, MD. Captain Iris and her crew made sure the event was special and their attention to detail from our initial contact until the day of was excellent. Very professional.
The Selina II is a beautiful boat and I would recommend Captain Iris to anyone looking for a unique and low-stress way to "tie-the-knot" in the beautiful town of Saint Michaels Maryland.Sail Selina II, St. Michaels's reply:

Jill F. Sent on 09/07/2019Absolutely perfect wedding ceremony!!
I just was not keen on a courthouse wedding for the second time around and happen to come across Sail Selina II while searching for other venues. Selina II was just beautiful, a meticulously maintained 1926 catboat, very comfortable and the weather perfect for a ceremony at sea. What a special day this was for us. Ceremony was magical. Capt. Iris made us both feel at ease with her bubbly personality. First mate Elisabeth was hard working and delightful and also suggested we visit the lighthouse for additional pictures. This was definitely the best day ever!! If you are looking for something special to do for a wedding I highly recommend the Selina II.

User2177563 Sent on 06/13/2015I would highly recommend the Selina II sailboat as a wedding venue. On the practical side, it is reasonably priced, while on the memorable side, it provided a great setting for a small, intimate, and romantic wedding - one where you can commune with nature by hearing the sounds of the Miles River lapping against the boat and the sound of seagulls flying overhead as you are saying your vows. In addition, Captain Iris is a delight. Indeed, she is a truly unique and caring individual who provides her officiant services with grace, and yet has the strength to manuever the sailboat, along with her first mate, with ease. She helped us plan a wedding that spoke to our hearts and was originally ours. We both had the best day of our lives and are so happy that we chose the Selina II for our wedding. Hope to recreate the magic by spending our first anniversary on a sunset champagne cruise aboard the Selina II. -

Your pictures and videos are fantastic! Julie, Dylan, Beth and I are all thrilled with the number, the quality and the significance of the pictures. All of us choked up on the video of the ceremony and the ringing of the bell.
I can't really find the words to tell you how much we appreciate all that you have done.
Jim and Beth
