SunQuest Cruises Reviews

From the first inquiry to the big day, the Sunquest team, Kristi, Emma and Samantha were 100% on top of every detail. They make it so easy for couples who don’t live in the area. The vendors that they partner with to provide photography (Jon), florals and DJ James were the best of the best!

My family and friends said it was the best and most fun wedding they had ever been to. If I could give 10 stars, I would!!

Sunquest made our dream wedding a reality. Their seamless planning and execution, from start to finish, were exceptional. The best wedding venue in Destin, hands down.

My husband and I had THE BEST experiences with each person we had the pleasure of working with throughout our wedding- from planning all the way through our sparkler send off at the end of our wedding night! Everyone was super supportive of all the things we envisioned for our ceremony and reception. The entire team made our wedding wishes come to reality and so effortless for us! They were all so fun to work with and were very accommodating to all our family and friends (one of the waiters even learned some sign language to ask our cousin if she needed anything, after finding out she is deaf!). All our guests still talk about how perfect everything went and how they had SUCH a blast! The food was top notch and drinks were out of this world! To this day, our guests speak about wanting to plan anniversary trips with us to celebrate on there Solaris again! We cannot say enough great things about the yacht and all the crew as everything and everyone are seriously what dreams are made of! Thanks so much for making our wedding celebration so memorable!

Our wedding aboard the Solaris yacht was an absolute dream come true, thanks to the incredible team at Solaris. From the moment we began planning, their expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our special day.

The Venue:
The Solaris yacht provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The stunning views of the water, combined with the elegance of the yacht itself, created an unforgettable atmosphere that left our guests in awe.

The Planning Process:
Josh truly went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding was perfect. From the initial consultation to the day-of coordination, they were with us every step of the way. Their expertise in wedding planning was evident as they seamlessly orchestrated every aspect of the event, from the decor to the flow of the ceremony and reception.

The Decor:
The decor was simply stunning and exceeded our expectations. Josh and the team listened to our vision and brought it to life with exquisite floral arrangements, elegant table settings, and beautiful lighting that set the perfect mood for our celebration.

The Flow of the Ceremony and Reception:
One of the things that impressed us most was how smoothly everything flowed throughout the day. Josh ensured that every moment was seamlessly coordinated, allowing us to relax and enjoy our wedding day without any worries.

Overall Experience:
Our wedding aboard the Solaris yacht, planned by Josh, was truly the stuff of fairy tales. From the picturesque setting to the impeccable planning and execution, it was a day we will cherish forever. We cannot thank the team enough for making our dream wedding a reality. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a magical and unforgettable wedding experience.

The full team pulled off an amazing event in the thick of a very dense fog. It was beautiful and so very special to us and our family. Thank you!

The yacht is such a unique venue. We couldn't imagine our day without SunQuest! Thank you for making our wedding weekend beautiful!

If you're looking for a waterfront wedding in Destin, the yacht is for you! We chose the Solaris as our wedding venue because of the privacy that the yacht offered. We loved the idea of having our ceremony our on the water rather than on a busy beach. Our wedding planning experience was a dream. I wish we could relive our day over and over again!

SunQuest Cruises gave us our DREAM wedding experience in Destin! Their entire team made us feel held and celebrated throughout the entire planning process, and especially on the day of. We opted for a beach ceremony before the yacht reception and we were blown away at their team's professionalism and care. Our two day of coordinators, Christy and Angela, were so incredibly sweet and kept the details that we planned with our planner, Courtney, to a T! We are looking forward to coming back to celebrate on the yacht for anniversaries in the future! Thank you again!

The day was beautiful, the decorations were just like I wanted, planning was so easy. The food was amazing, I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for stress free wedding planning, everyone had a great time!

We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding onboard the Sunquest Solaris! It was the most unique, fun, and memorable wedding I've ever seen.

I loved that they handle many of the small decisions, letting us choose a few package options and edit from there instead of working from scratch. This made event planning so much less stressful that it otherwise would have been.

We moved the dance floor to the top deck, and dancing under the lights and stars was unique and amazing. I definitely recommend asking them to put your dance floor on the top deck of the boat.

All around 5 star experience!

It was a very unique experience. We rented out the entire boat and ended up spending way more than expected to get upgrades and made the ride more magical. The only down side was that I wish the cruise was longer. We were not ready to end the party at the end of the night.

The team at Sunquest cruises is truly top notch and we cannot recommend them enough! I really wanted a smaller wedding that did not take me months/years to plan out and Sunquest gave us just that! Julie, our wedding planner, helped us plan our night down to the exact detail and helped us decide on ways to personalize our ceremony and reception to make all of our dreams come true! Having in house catering, photography, and florists made choosing vendors a breeze and Sunquest even provided a list of preferred outside vendors that made planning our entire weekend so so easy. The house band was so fun and had our guests out on the dance floor all night! We truly enjoyed ourselves and all of our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had. We are actually already planning to go back on a dinner cruise on the Solaris because we can’t get enough of this amazing team of people! They truly made sure every detail was what we wanted and made our night so special! I would not change a single thing about our wedding! Thank you everyone withy Sunquest Cruises!!

If you are planning on booking your wedding through Sunquest I promise you that you cannot go wrong with this dream team!

Sunquest Cruises did an amazing job with our wedding. They helped us navigate the uncertain times due to the pandemic. The decor was perfectly matched. The food was fantastic. They also made great vendor recommendations. They made our day so easy! I honestly can't imagine how stressed I would've been without them! Thank you for making our day so special.

By far the best experience I have and probably will ever had. I'll break it down into two parts: preparation and the wedding.

I started preparing a year in advance because I was getting deployed and wouldn't be able to focus on it until a couple of months before. Suffice to say they were great. I stayed in contact with Julie one of their wedding coordinators (the best coordinator ever) via email, and every email was succinct and to the point. Any question I had no matter how trivial or nonsensical was answered in a fast and thorough way. Julie also helped coordinate all the vendors from the cake, flowers, photographer and even afterwards with floral preservation. Honestly, this was the easiest preparation I ever had to do. I was asked what I preferred, answered as such and the magic was done.

The actual wedding day, was magical I was blown away boarding the ship. I could not believe how beautiful the ship was transformed into. I was able to meet the rest of the staff and the day of coordinator Nicole knew everything that Julie and I discussed, they were extremely helpful and happy to be there for me! Unfortunately it rained that day, funnily enough it was a beautiful and bright day the day before and after, but Sunquest still made it magical and amazing. From the ceremony to the reception and dancing it was the best night of my life.

In conclusion, I am definitely one that pays for convenience to make my life easier, and this was the best way to do a wedding for anyone that likes to make their life easier or even those that want to be in charge of every detail. The best part though was that it wasn't even that expensive compared to what a magical night I was given and the little I had to do. I would highly recommend Sunquest to anyone for their special day because they'll make it even more memorable!

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!

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 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.

Hurricane Michael was going to make land fall on the Emerald Gulf Coast as the biggest hurricane the gulf has ever seen on Wednesday October 10, 2018. It looked like the hurricane was headed straight for Destin FL. Our wedding was scheduled for Friday October 12. Since we were already in Destin FL the weekend prior enjoying some vacation time before our wedding date, we were advised on Tuesday October 9 of a mandatory evacuation. We left Destin FL and drove north to Montgomery AL to avoid the hurricane. For two days we hunkered down in our hotel rooms hoping for the best. I tried staying positive but wondered if our wedding would need to be rescheduled. My family and friends all watched the news as the hurricane landed and by a miracle the hurricane missed Destin FL. Our AMAZING wedding planner (Julie) stayed in constant contact with me keeping me posted on current conditions. On Thursday October 11 we were told that we could return to Destin FL. This was music to my ears! I want to thank the Captain, Julie and all of the staff of Sunquest for making our wedding day the most special day of our lives.

The entire team went above and beyond for our big day. Thank you for the best day ever!

We booked the Solaris for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best kick off to our wedding weekend in 30a. Easy planning process, was able to simply pick what we wanted and their team took care of everything. Our guests cannot stop talking about the food. We went for the tapas small plates and our guests loved it!

We chose the Solaris because of the all-inclusive packaging. Working with their wedding planner, florist, and catering made planning a destination wedding extremely easy.

Courtney was our wedding planner and OMG she is the BEST!!! She took care of every detail and all we did was show up. The yacht was BEAUTIFUL and our wedding was everything we DREAMED of!

Our dream was to get married on the water and the Solaris Yacht was perfect! We loved the all-inclusive package and having Sunquest take care of everything. The planning, the flowers, the food, the music, the photography was all taken care of. We would choose the yacht again and again as our wedding venue.

Working with the Sunquest team was great. They handled/planned all the details; decor, florals, food, entertainment, rentals photography and day of coordination. It was so nice to work with ONE company and primary contact. They helped keep me on task as well! Highly recommend!
