Ferry weddings can be the best way to celebrate with a big wedding party. You can book an entire ferry for a day or two and sail up and down a river. The guests are entertained by fishing off the ferry, local villages that the ferry will stop at and good food on the boat itself. Here are a few ways to set up a ferry wedding for your big day.
Ferries usually ply on rivers. Google the local rivers and find out local ferry companies that are willing to hire out their services for a day. Most average size ferries will hold about two hundred people on board quite easily. They will also get you catering and music if you require it.
Most ferry companies will lease out the ferry for a complete day and this is the best way to enjoy the event. You can then decide the route of the ferry up and down the river. Get in touch with the captain of the ferry and set up a stage on the ferry which will serve as a dance floor or to cut the cake when required.
Try to limit onboard food to the minimum as guests may not be accustomed to eating on a boat. It’s a better idea to stop the ferry at any renowned local garden for a picnic or at a local restaurant for a light lunch. After the wedding, make sure that have transportation for guests that stay far off.
A ferry wedding can be really fun. You can catch the sunset at your wedding ceremony while on the ferry and you can also make sure that you have a memorable day on your special day
