David, let me know if you have any questions and if one of the two options is something you and James would like to pursue. Warm regards, Laura Stewart Dear Laura Stewart, Thank you for getting back to me about your company’s decision on our Vow Renewal. I’m disappointed with the options that your President has offered. In this crazy world we live in, I was hoping for a bit more compassion. In order for my husband to enjoy the experience as we did with you when we got married, we will have to move to next year (July 15, 2023) because of him being Immune compromised from his transplant and recent cancer treatment. However, I do not understand the outrageous fee for this move and hope that there is some way to get it to a more reasonable amount. If you have a moment to spare, I would be interested to hear your feedback regarding the decision that you and you company have made. Details you can provide would be helpful. Thank you again for your time and hope we can come to a compromise, so that we can enjoy our renewal without ill feeling. I wish you and the rest of the team all the best and stay safe and healthy. That’s all we are asking you to do for us. Sincerely, David Morisi No compassion…

Just had my wedding with them. So much went wrong. Let's start from the beginning. We booked a couple years ago and because of covid it was pushed back. Not their fault. What was their fault was their false promises. I was promised specific foo...
d and they later told us it wasn't possible. Very simple food for brunch. Was told there was a suite to get ready on. Was then told there wasn't. I ended up hiring a planner because the communication was so poor and needs were not being met. Food was cold when served to us.  Not an issue for guests as their food was warm. The way food was served was inefficient and caused our timeline to be pushed back. Bridal party had to wait in line for food. We went to a tasting and you were provided a sample menu that could most likely not be your menu. Was told the officiant was included then told a month out it wasn't. A month out told our numbers would need to be reduced. Reduced the numbers and weren't compensated. Communication about covid restrictions were not great. They waited until it was about a month out to tell us even though we had been in frequent contact. Good things to know: Ceremony site is not private so there may be people wandering (this was not an issue for us but noticed during the rehearsal) You have to use their dj services, florist, caterer, and bakery. No real issues with any besides the dj. Frequent issues with music not being queued, wrong songs played, music being played from a cell phone with poor quality and feedback etc. The gazebo was dirty. We did not sail out to where we should because of timing. Didn't have people sign the life saver which was supposed to be the guest book. The drinks were good. Open bar. Service for the bride and groom. (Us) was great and they were attentive. Decorations were great. Flowers were great. Customer service was decent. Guest say the service was good. Help for guest with accessibility issues was excellent. Guests enjoyed being on the yacht. All in all we were not satisfied and feel if we had known about the hidden fees, the poor communication, and the false promises we would have canceled instead of rescheduling  and feel their lack of communication and preparation could have been prevented and need major work. For the price you pay it was not worth it at all.

First time I seen the ovation, I fell in love with this for my wedding. We chose the infinity for our wedding and it was an amazing turn out. A lot of the catering is included and for what we paid, it was well worth it. Wasn’t crazy expensive. ...
Melissa and her crew have helped us out so much when it came to planning our wedding. That was two years of planning. They are very responsive and will give you your wants and needs for your special day. We wouldn’t of had it any other way for our wedding day. Most amazing experience ever and sharing it with family is the best part as well. The crew that was on the yacht was very accommodating to what everyone was drinking and making sure everyone had everything they needed.

I&O gave me the best night of my life. Enough said. I will try my best to describe how truly wonderful these people are and how I had a better wedding than everyone else. Do you want a venue that has the kindest people and ALWAYS respond to you...
in a timely manner? I think that I probably annoyed Laura 10/10 times, but you would never know because she always emailed me back when I had questions within 48 hours, usually sooner than that. She was always incredibly accommodating and made things happen. Even when I thought I had stupid questions, she would walk me through everything and treat me with so much respect. She was the best "wedding planner" (that is what I called her because it was basically like having a wedding planner without hiring anyone) that I could ask for. She then handed me off to Melanie, who was just as kind and just as accommodating, and made sure I had everything ready for the big day. Then, on the day of, I had Brittney who was the cruise director for my wedding. You would think this was annoying, because the two people who helped me through the whole year weren't even there. I thought it was annoying. UNTIL Brittney literally made everything awesome. On your wedding day, you're all over the place. You don't remember what you are supposed to be doing or what time it is, etc. Brittney made sure to find me every time it was time for something, take off from the docks, cake cutting, first dance, etc. That might not sound like a big deal to people, but none of that would have even happened if it weren't for her because I was being pulled in every direction that night. I literally forgot my garter AND bouquet to throw. This woman gathered resources and MADE me a garter out of medical supplies, and made me a bouquet to throw. The staff. OH MY GOD. Every time I didn't have a drink it my hand, they were right there handing me the next one. They danced with me, made sure I was doing okay, made sure I had food, desserts, etc. EVERYONE was amazing.

luded in their packages (cake, catering, bar service, floral/decorations, ceremony, officiant, DJ service, and more) is booked, billed, and set up through them. They pick the best in the business, and since it’s all-inclusive, you only have to send payments to one place, which is quite convenient. Even for things that aren't included, like stationery and photography, they have tons of great suggestions and help you in any way they can! My wedding coordinator, Jennifer, promptly and thoroughly addressed every question and concern I had during the planning process – all I had to do was give her a call or send an email. They truly try their best to make planning a wedding as stress-free as possible. I was honestly dreading a lot of aspects of wedding planning (I’m generally indecisive and disorganized), but they made it all SO easy. As far as the actual event, IOYC’s coordinators have weddings down to a science. If a problem comes up, they handle it - my husband somehow lost his boutonniere before the ceremony and my day-of coordinator, Ashley, made him one on the spot. When we arrived to the marina, everything was set up for us, and they took everything down at the end of the night. The staff even helped my father load our gifts into his truck before he left! The food quality was excellent (seriously, we all ate so much during dinner we barely had room for cake), the drinks were delicious and generously poured, the staff were courteous and attentive, and the evening was full of plenty of little surprises that made our evening memorable for so many. The yacht charter is a unique event, and I would highly recommend it for someone who wants something different than your typical wedding. You cannot go wrong with IOYC – they are worth every penny for the convenience, quality, and level of service.

Planning our wedding with IOYC was a great experience overall. Planning long-distance has the potential to be very stressful, but IOYC makes it so easy to not worry. They took the hard part out of planning, all we had to do was set up meetings ...
and show up to make it our own. The service leading up to the day was excellent. Jennifer made sure I had all the information I needed to make it great. She fielded my many questions, and made sure that I was good to go. However, we hit a few snags with the rehearsal. In the week leading up to the wedding, I checked in with Jennifer to make sure there was a back-up rain plan for the rehearsal, which there was. Feeling confident, we all showed up for rehearsal, where it began to sprinkle, then downpour. I had to stop the rehearsal coordinator and ask her to switch to the back up plan. She said she was not able to, and wanted to continue rehearsal in the pouring rain, while all of our bridal party got soaked and was freezing cold. The rehearsal coordinator eventually agreed to move us in to the gazebo and just verbally go through the process. She seemed confused by my plan for the bridal party entrance, and couldn't quite seem to get the point. After I left the rehearsal, I made a call to Jennifer, who got back to me right away. I told her what had happened and my concerns about it, and she was very sympathetic to the issue. She took it upon herself to try to make the situation right. Wedding day: The service was great. Our guests were blown away by the professionalism of the staff. The food was incredible. From the sound of it, some people did not get cake/desserts, as they did not see them being served. I felt that the service fell a little flat for the bride and groom, but overall, they did a great job with our other guests needs. The end of the night seemed like the staff was a bit confused. We ended up with 3 boxes of cake, and told that they were all the top layer of our cake. Still not sure what is in all the boxes.

Ms. Corey (I believe that’s her name) was super fun and sweet! She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great! She danced with me and even gave my family treats to take home ;-). All of the IOY staff he night of our wedding were great including Jordan who coordinated our rehearsal (took only 20 minutes). It rained about 45 minutes before our ceremony and the IOY crew made sure not to let any of our guests sit until the chairs were completely dry! They also had some hold the train of my dress so it would get wet. All the vendors were great (except for the DJ service but we were able to hire our own DJ)! Emerald Designs created beautiful floral arrangements for our centerpieces, Baked Impressions was delicious and were awesome, and the food was delicious!!! Throughout the night IOY and the vendors had small yet thoughtful surprises for us . I would definitely recommend IOY to future couples!!!

and flowed seemlessly. I am so happy with my pictures and loved the boat and the water backdrops. For the ceremony, the pergola draped with the white sheets really was a good investment. I believe it made the ceremony feel very "wedding like" and it also looked great in the photographs. There were a few negatives I will mention, although I would not have changed a thing, I would have liked to have been aware of. The cost for additional items that are essential like table flowers and linens are expensive because of the tax (something like 26%). That tax is added on to everything, including photography. Although I knew this going in to the contract it still added up more than I expected. Another aspect I was not aware of is that the dinner music only played on the dance floor area and not on the lower deck where most of the dinning tables are. I picked out music to listen to during dinner and heard non of it. I am not a huge fan of elevator dinner music so I was a little thrown off when that's what I heard throughout dinner. These negatives are really minor and with all that can go wrong at weddings, I would say Infinity and Ovation will not mess up anyone's day.

on point and quick to respond to all of my crazy questions. She even thought of us and offered a complimentary service for our wedding. The food on the yacht is nothing but spectacular. You will never have to be concerned about the quality of food or service. Not to mention the amazing views cruising down the Detroit River, we had so many compliments that that venue was the best wedding venue people have ever been to. The only negative I can think of is the amount of weddings they do a day between the two yachts. It was a little hectic when the previous wedding was just ending and ours was beginning by the time our ceremony ended the other wedding party was already arriving. However no collisions occurred between ceremonies and the timing was perfect they really have it down to a science. If you are even considering this venue I encourage you to follow it through because if you are ever on the yachts in the future you will regret the decision of not following through with infinity and ovation for your wedding day. If you need to see it to believe it, go on one of their special cruises throughout the year for the general public and you can experience it for yourself prior to your wedding. My husband and I hope we get invited back for the bride and groom cruise they do when they bring back past cruisers, we hope that is us again one day!

ies!! ) First of all, let me say, the quality of the service they provide is excellent! As a busy working bride to be, I did not want to be stressed out about finding vendors. Infinity and Ovation has the whole package and from what they said to me from the beginning. I will only be worried about my dress. Fun thing about this is as soon as you sign up with them, you will be so updated with emails and will provide you with all the list of vendors that work with them that you need to meet up with.(DJ, Cake, Decor) Example for the cake, you just schedule an appointment for cake tasting and cake decor! that's it. By the way the only thing about the package they provide is standard, so for example you like to upgrade your cake and your ceremony area with lots of details, (additional flowers, extra mic for the ceremony, extra linens, etc..)it comes with a price, so the vendor will just send the upgrade to Infinity and Ovation. Melanie was very helpful the whole time we were planning our wedding!! She is one amazing woman! She was there on our big day too!! I even emailed her about my paranoid moments about how the weather is gonna be..(ceremony is held outdoors). and she was very kind enough to reply at the silliest emails I've sent! She definitely made it a whole lot easier to plan the whole thing omg she is wonderful! Food.- is really good. They don't provide food tasting but my guests are very impressed about the food and the quality. Brittney was nice enough to save me a plate on my weddingv day to take home! I was busy that day that I didn't get to eat much!Very nice gesture. Overall, I cant say enough good things about them! The price you pay , for me I think is worth it. IT saved me a lot of stress!! They make it so easy for you form start to finish! Even on your wedding day! They will guide you on where to go and how the whole program will run. The additional money you pay for upgrades is completely up to you. The package itself is beautiful as it is. Very unique setting for ceremony and reception. Another thing is though, you might want to give heads up to guests who gets motion sickness. The yacht doesn't really shake but some guests get seasick while in the water. LOVE LOVE LOVE Infinity and Ovation! Thank you so much! You guys are awesome! -Mr. and Mrs Familara

According to our guests it was the best wedding ever! Our wedding far exceeded the expectations of all of our guests. The food on this yacht is AMAZING and worth the added cost. Our wedding bill grew quickly because of our guest count (2...
51), however, you can control costs with Infinity and Ovation by having a smaller guest list and not choosing as many upgrades as we did (2 hours of dockside time, Champaign upon boarding, upgraded taste of Michigan menu, seafood extravaganza appetizer). Only 2 words of caution - EVERYTHING comes with a 26% gratuity upcharge. It was incredibly frustrating to me that they didn't just communicate the real price, but whatever... Just multiply every price they give you by 1.26 to understand the true cost. If the entertainment is very important to you, don't be afraid to pay the outside vendor fee and book your own band or DJ. The yachts have good vendors, but you only get married once. Book the entertainment you want. Not just what your package gives you if you have any doubts. You will have the wedding of your dreams if you book with this company. One more thing - don't waste money decorating the ceremony site. Nobody cares about that. Upgrade your food/drinks instead. Lake St. Clair is decoration enough!

in love with the idea of getting married on a boat. (I always wanted a beach theme). We picked our day and put a deposit down right away. The whole entire process was so easy. I was sent a link of vendors for cakes, flowers, DJ, etc. and I contacted each one to plan my day - it was well organized and made it super easy on us. It cut out all the research we would have to do otherwise which was a major plus because we both work full time. Adding on any 'extras' was super easy and any concerns I had were taken care of. I have a few handicapped people in my family and I was worried that they would have a hard time getting to their seats for the ceremony and on the boat but each one of them were helped right away. Everyone really stepped up to the plate. The day of the wedding I had actually forgotten my marriage license at the hotel and the coordinator on the boat told me not to worry - she would handle everything and that she did! She amazed me with how well she took care of any problem, concern, or question that arose on the day of the wedding. She was a total help and without her I KNOW I would have been stressing. Everyone at Infinity and Ovation helped make my wedding day unique and beautiful. If I could do it all over again there is no where else I would have booked my wedding!!

We had our wedding reception on the Infinity this past summer and can't say enough positive things about our experience throughout the entire process. Firstly, the charter specialist, Melanie, (who fielded so many of our questions during the...
planning process) was an absolute gem to work with. She was prompt, attentive, and accommodating - every time I received a response from her, I felt like I must be their only client! Next, the entire staff and the vendors themselves were wonderful. I was basically unaware of the staff onboard. Although I'd love to say I made eye contact to thank them more frequently, they were working so seamlessly to move the party along that I hardly noticed any of them! Kelly and Marc were fantastic in particular - I loved the touch of essentially forcing us to sit and eat. When they mentioned that they'd do this early in the planning process, I thought it somewhat unnecessary, but after spending the first 60 minutes mingling non-stop, I appreciated having someone remind me to take a breather and eat; I could've easily breezed through dinner without realizing I missed it! The vendors were phenomenal. Our contacts at Emerald City were smart, offering suggestions particular to our individual needs, and ultimately achieving beautiful results. Our DJ, Jason Parent, was wonderful as well, setting up a personal meeting to discuss our expectations and requests - and making it ultra convenient by meeting us very close to home! The cake was gorgeous, followed our requests to the T, and was absolutely delicious. Suffice it to say, the staff at Infinity and Ovation aren't kidding when they say they've vetted their vendors and only work with the best! Although I've seen other reviews balking at the cost of this, I think it was actually a great deal for how much was truly inclusive. The team worked with us to find a combination of features that suited our guests - and our budget. As with so many weddings, we had plenty of personal obstacles and the standard family drama on our end, so the fact that we could trust the team at Infinity and Ovation with absolutely all of the logistics became more valuable by the day. The evening was absolutely sparkling and all of our guests enjoyed themselves immensely. For what it's worth, my uncle, a photographer who has attended ~900 weddings, said this was by far the best he's been to - unique, classy, and incredibly fun. Our thanks to the entire team and all of the vendors for their impeccable work. Infinity and Ovation created an indescribable experience for us on such an important day.

As this was technically a second reception (and in the middle of the afternoon), we didn't do the whole dancing thing, but we had a great jazz trio that was an excellent compliment to the venue. I would classify the atmosphere as "upscale laid-back" because that was what we created, but you could easily go very fancy with this venue as well. The food, by the way, was outstanding. A note on vendors/point people: our jazz trio was the Keith Malinowski Trio, and they were awesome. Emerald City Designs - who is contracted with Infinity and Ovation - did the flowers and they were tremendous. Gorgeous designs and very easy to work with. Jackie was our director, assisted by Kelly, and they are very, very good at their jobs. Melanie was our specialist and very easy to work with. Slight negative spot: two of our guests had their cars broken into while we were sailing. They did not take advantage of the complimentary valet; I would encourage your guests strongly to do so if you choose to sail. Apparently this has never happened before; the marina and the Infinity/Ovation staff were very quick to respond and attempt to take care of the situation, so kudos to them for that. Why not 5 stars: the break-ins were a mar, and it is on the pricey side. We did love it though!
