Smooth Sailing Celebrations

Camille helped make our wedding absolutely amazing. Every guest had an incredible time and couldn’t thank us enough for inviting them. The Sundancer Yacht is beautiful, small yet not crowded. Perfect for our small wedding (less than 30). Could have easily fit more people, especially post Covid when both decks can be used I wouldn’t be surprised to see 75-100 people comfortably boarded. She did an amazing job reassuring us through postponing initial date, and helping us navigate all the governors mandates.

Recommended for a unique experience! Definitely not cookie cutter. Can't say enough great things about what they offer.

Hello Camille; Now that things have gotten back to normal, Licely and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the outstanding job you and your staff did on our wedding day. Thank you for being flexible with us throughout the entire planning process. We were fortunate to have you. Thank you for continually working with us and helping us create personalized touches, an amazing day, and truly unforgettable memories. Also, would like to recognize the staff of the Manhattan Elite Yacht in particular the monumental job performed by Captain Jim, Danny the Maitre D' and Alberto our bartender...they did an amazing job...KUDOS. Thank you, thank you for making our wedding a success. It was a magical night! With love... Licely & Anabel

I haven't booked yet but I am SO IMPRESSED with Camille. Her professionalism and knowledge oozes from her. I could sincerely not believe how quickly she responded to each email...even at 3:30am! She obviously loves what she does and it whole-heartedly shows! Also, thanks to Captain Rob for a gift of champagne! We really felt cared for.

Camille was wonderful to work with when booking a yacht for our wedding. She took us to see many options and answered our many, many questions. All the vendors she recommended were great as well. We booked a yacht a year before our wedding and she checked in every so often to make sure everything was going well. Overall, we would highly recommend Camille and Smooth Sailing!

We had real problems deciding what we wanted to do for our wedding reception - we previously had booked large hall, then decided to do a much smaller reception and cancelled it, and were stumped as to a good venue for a smaller party. Just three months (!) out, my (now) wife thought that perhaps a boat would be a good idea. I immediately thought of Camille Cerria at Smooth Sailing Celebrations, who I had known through various local organizations over the years. Calling her turned out to be the best thing we ever could have done for our wedding. She literally helped us take care of everything, from finding the perfect boat through nearly every other aspect of planning. Camille is just amazing - she is the type of person who not only is on top of absolutely everything (so you don't have to worry about a thing), but who even checks in when nothing's going on just to make sure you're comfortable. I would have a very hard time coming up with a better experience that I've had with any vendor, wedding-related or not. The end result was nothing short of perfect - my wife and I had a fantastic time at our wedding, and our guests couldn't stop raving about what an inspired choice it was to have the reception on a boat. We are just beginning to receive and review our pictures now, and going through all of them has been a reminder of just how great everything was, from the boat itself to the food (which everyone agreed was far superior to what often is served at upscale wedding halls). I can't recommend Smooth Sailing Celebrations highly enough to anyone looking for a super-enjoyable, creative, and stress-free wedding. Cheers!

We were so fortunate to have been referred to Camille at Smooth Sailing to help us find a yacht venue for our wedding! We had been looking at standard (land-based) venues before we decided to consider a yacht. The morning of our scheduled viewing with another vendor, we luckily met a current client of Camille's who raved about her services, how helpful she was and her sincere kindness. We contacted her immediately after our other viewing, explained what we had seen and were looking for, and she immediately showed us the Aqua Azul. It was perfect! Throughout our planning, Camille was attentive to the schedule and our needs. She was extremely responsive to us and coordinated the event to make it all work so smoothly. We are grateful to Camille, Smooth Sailing and the Aqua Azul for helping make us beautiful memories. I would absolutely recommend Smooth Sailing and look forward to working with them to host another event on a yacht in the future. Thank you - Love Mallory & Ed

Our wedding on the Royal Princess was fabulous. The ship looked beautiful and was set exactly according to our specifications, the food was amazing, and the staff was wonderful to us. Our wedding ceremony set against the NYC skyline was exactly what we wanted. Camille was very responsive to our questions and needs this past year, and Smooth Sailing Celebrations lived up to its name. Thank you, Camille!

Our wedding on the Aqua Azul was perfect. Everything ran smoothly, was very organized, elegant, and created memories to last a lifetime!!!!! We are very grateful that we finally found Camille Cerria after a very long search for the right person to guide us through this process.

We planned our wedding in a very short period of time with Smooth Sailing Celebrations. Camille made this process very easy for us. The vendors she referred to us were true professionals who shared her work ethic. The wedding ceremony and reception were perfect and we are just so glad we were referred to her!

Camille, Our wedding party was filled with joy, cheer, laughter, spontaneity, few rules and unstructured fun for our guests. Everyone loved it. Many guests told me, "Time wen't by so fast! This is the best wedding party I have ever been to!" We had no idea it would turn out like this. Despite the boat delay due to the medical emergency, Michelle (boat director) and her team re-bounded well and came through to support us with a great night. We tipped her because she made it happen. Camille, you advised us well and got into the loop of the conversation with Frank (the boat owner) when we needed you to push for us. Thank goodness you did push for extra time! Frank was great to give us the visual of what the best boat parties are like: ones that don't look like wedding hall parties! We enjoyed his enthusiasm for sharing his boat with groups like us. Again, thank you Camille, for finding this in less than 25 days. How you helped us, was heroic. Even when you were sick, you found a way to make sure we were taken care of. We couldn't have asked for anything better of our experience. Bumps happen but we all rebounded together. It was great. After-all, we came to you with our own bump of our original double-booked venue. Again, thank you! Kudos to Smooth Sailing for making every bump a smooth ride!

Camille was absolutely AMAZING! It felt like hanging out with an old friend as we viewed several wedding venue options. She was very genuine and offered her honest appraisal. Without her guidance we never would have known about the beautiful Aqua Azul yacht where we ultimately tied the knot before our closest friends and family. A heartfelt thanks to Camille and the team at Smooth Sailing for helping us to realize our dream wedding. We could not have done it without you! Tony & Blair

Amazing venue. Top notch service, great planning, and and beautiful upated elegant boat. Wish I could do it all over again!!!!

We had a pre wedding function of a "A Big Fat Indian Wedding"over Memorial day weekend. As the weather was beautiful our event turned out to be perfect. The food on the boat was delicious the ambiance was beautiful and the atmosphere was electric! Majesty boat is huge and has three floors with an atrium in the middle. All the floors have a dance floor and bar. Smooth Sailing's Camille was my contact person and she was very professional and helpful. Always called me back promptly if I had any questions. The owner Hidayat was also flexible and accommodated our special requests of menu selection and table linen etc. The only complaint that we had was that for 400+ people they did not have enough bar tenders and people had to wait long for their drinks. I wish they would have given us more bartenders. But all in all a party on board is a unique experience and highly recommended.

We couldn't be happier with the level of service Camille Cerria provided us for the wedding of our dreams. From the first time we met her until our wedding day she never disappointed us. Camille took the time with us very early on to show us many options with regard to the boats that we could choose for our wedding, she ensured that we had ample time on each boat to not only see them but speak to the captains. Camille is a class act and because of her our wedding on the Royal Princess Yacht was everything we dreamed of, she should be someone that you consider when planning an event that you will remember for a lifetime!

Our wedding sailed on the Cornucopia Destiny on November 8,2013. The staff on the Destiny was amazing, Camille did a great job with keeping the staff informed of everything we wanted, and it was the best night of our lives!

We can’t thank Camille enough for making our day truly amazing. Camille provided us with excellent professionalism and knowledge. Camille answered all our questions and if she didn’t know the answer right then and there, she got back to us with an answer before the day was over. We used all the vendors she recommended and they were all great, just like she said they would be. Camille was in contact with us from beginning to end and after as well. It was great working with someone who knew their stuff and also cares. If you are getting married or are planning to have a celebration we highly recommend Camille from smooth sailing Celebrations, she was absolutely great. Doris & Tamika : )
