We had a wonderful experience for our wedding. Our ceremony was on the beach, and the reception aboard the yacht. All of our guests enjoyed themselves. Kristi, Courtney, and Josh were all wonderful to work with. I sent inspiration photos I had for my wedding, and I can’t even explain how well they took what I wanted and made it happen. My bouquet and the rest of the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Josh went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful to him. I honestly can’t tell you enough how satisfied my husband and I were with how everything turned out.The food was amazing and the guests raved about it. Everyone wanted to stay on the yacht longer. I don’t know what else I can say except we were very satisfied and happy that we used Solaris as our wedding venue!

We could not have had a better experience! Planning the wedding with Julie was a great experience. She’s very detailed and so am I. Despite our prayers for sunshine, we were forced to have to use the rain backup plan. Our guests said they never knew this wasn’t the original plan. The bar staff was amazing, the food was divine, the DJ kept us dancing and the atmosphere was magical! Thank you Solaris Staff! You ALL outdid yourselves!
