Testimonials

What a spectacular night. You can't imagine how many compliments we received about every aspect of the evening! The table settings were beautiful -- I loved the navy and white selections and the flowers set everything off perfectly. The appetizers and passed goodies were so delicious as was everything that was served. No one could believe that they had five options for the entrees! Everyone raved about the food and excellent, efficient service. And of course - the weather certainly topped the evening off! What a night, the cruise was magical! It was so beyond anything that we had expected or hoped for!!! Both the bride and groom, along with our families and friends, were overwhelmed with the greatness of the evening.

Thank you for being present for the cruise and for all the care you took in arranging every aspect of the night. It was spectacular!!
