SunQuest Cruises

I had the pleasure of my wedding on the Sunquest Cruise and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. At first, I was a bit skeptical about how well the staff would handle everything, but I was quickly reassured by one of the staff members. The wedding itself was beautiful and the food was amazing. Josh and Courtney made sure that we had everything they needed and that everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience. Thank you to the staff for making it such a wonderful event.

The staff was AMAZING!!!! My coordinator Emma was so accommodating to my needs from the beginning to the very end. My guest were in awe of the yacht. The food was delicious.

This was by far the smartest decision I made by booking my wedding with Solaris! From the time we stepped on board to see this beauty the actual wedding day Josh helped me every step of the way! It all came together so perfectly and I was able to sit back and actually enjoy the process! My guests had a blast and many said it was the funnest wedding they had ever been to. We laughed, we cried and we danced the night away under the stars, cruising on a yacht!!! It literally couldn't have gone any better. I had my dream wedding! I cant wait for anniversaries aboard the Solaris in the future!

The full team jumped-in and helped pull-off a wonderful wedding in 4 months. Thank you all for your support!

We eloped in Destin, FL and the Solaris Yacht was our venue! We eloped on the top deck at sunset before cruising for dinner and it was everything we wanted and more. Thank you to the entire staff for making our day magical!

We had the most unique wedding thanks to SunQuest Cruises! Their entire team helped us have the most incredible weekend. The feedback from our guests even weeks after the wedding is incredible. Thank you!

The team at Sunquest were amazing! Everyone was so helpful and responsive and truly made our dream day come true. Will definitely recommend them or use them again if we have another special event!

My wedding was everything I dreamed of because of this wonderful team. On the yacht my husband and I were treated like royalty. The service was amazing. I have no regrets booking with Sunquest. I wish we would’ve booked longer on the yacht.

If you're looking for constant contact this is not the company for you if however you are OK with filling out questioners providing your vision and trusting that the professionals will pull it off this is the company for you. The food left a lot to be desired the music on the yacht was great

Cannot say enough good things about sunquest!! Our planner, Courtney, was AMAZING! She made the planning process so smooth and any little question I had she’d email me back immediately. It really took the stress away from the planning portion. The entire staff the day of were the best, all so attentive, friendly, helpful and everything went PERFECTLY. There isn’t a single thing I’d change about the wedding day. The decor turned out perfectly and all of the guests had the best time.

SunQuest gave us our DREAM destination wedding! The planning team is AMAZING and I felt so comfortable even when planning from out of state. Everyone on their team, from the wedding planners, to the day of coordinators, to the staff on the boat were so incredibly sweet. We felt held and celebrated every step of the way. We can't wait to come back and cruise on their dinner cruises for anniversaries to come!

The Sunquest team was absolutely fantastic from the very beginning to the sparkler send of at the end!! I would highly recommend them for your wedding and reception. A beautiful venue, great food, and extremely friendly staff!

The Solaris yacht is a fabulous and dreamy venue! The views are fantastic, the staff is friendly and easy to work with, the planning process is stress free, and the food and drinks on board were delicious. The house musicians were amazing and did a wonderful job. The weather on our wedding day ended up perfectly and our sunset wedding photos were fabulous. We used the house photographer and she did an incredible job. With all of that being said, I was under the impression that the team does may not put as much focus/attention into the Sunday or non-Saturday weddings (we had a Sunday private charter). There were several things that were forgotten/neglected. When I boarded the boat the name cards were all out of whack, the names were at the correct table, but not seated in the proper order. I had to rearrange the name cards last minute to make sure the couples and families were seated next to each other. For example, there were babies and kids not placed next to parents and married couple separated. I was never given a seating chart with names in order at the tables, and should have requested this prior to the wedding. Also, we paid to have a decorated getaway golf cart after our sparkler exit and did not receive this. We walked down the sparkler sendoff and were expecting a decorated golf cart that was not there so had to hitch a ride home with my sister. Lastly, the dinner service was behind schedule and not according to the time frame we reviewed prior to the wedding. This ate into the dance floor time, so we ended up with only about 30 minutes of dancing time at the end. Had I known this I would have gotten the 5 hour charter instead or the 4. If dancing is important to you, definitely elect the 5 hour charter! Despite the few things that were forgotten, the wedding did turn out wonderfully, I just wanted to highlight the few issues we had to help those booking for the future! Definitely go for 5 hour, and make sure to review the seating arrangement on paper prior to the wedding. Other than that, the wedding was amazing.

I truly can’t say enough great things about working with the Sunquest Cruise team and my September wedding & reception aboard the Solaris Yacht. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but the Sunquest team was able to take a lot of the pressure off of the planning process by providing all inclusive options in their packages. I had to swap planners midway (my original planner was relocating and leaving the company) and I was a bit worried, but Courtney came in and executed all my visions seamlessly. I did not want to have to DIY my decor, I wanted someone to bring my vision to life for me, and that 100% happened! My day of coordinator, Lindsey, was absolute joy and is so talented at her job. We had 100 of our family/friends on board and she was able to wrangle everyone and keep us on track all evening with a smile never leaving her face. I used all of their preferred vendors and since they work with them regularly, it made my life much easier b/c my planner was able to take that pressure off of me. The house DJ kept the energy up all night, the emcee was great, food was delicious, staff was attentive, bartender kept the drinks flowing, and if anything went wrong, I had no clue about it. My wedding vision has always been “beach” but when we took a dinner cruise (while looking for venues), I was immediately sold on the Solaris and knew I had to get married there. It’s been over a month since my wedding, and my guests are still raving about how unique, fun, and energetic my wedding was. How many people can say they’ve been to a yacht wedding?? If you are looking for a venue that is unique (with the most beautiful sunset and views) and want to work with an amazing team that will make your planning process smooth, look no further than the Solaris Yacht (Sunquest Cruises).

I can’t say thank you enough to all the staff and planners that helped our wedding reception be so perfect aboard the Solaris! Our guests had so much fun! The absolute perfect day ❤️ Would absolutely recommend!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sunquest Cruises and every person I worked with or encountered from the company throughout the wedding planning process and the wedding day itself. From day one, they were always so thoughtful, helpful and never missed a beat. Once we got paired with our wedding planner, Courtney, I told her that I had pretty much no clue what I was doing, but had a color scheme and general idea of what we wanted; to say she made our vision come to life is an understatement. I don't know how many times I told her, "Courtney, it's like you can read my mind!" Every single detail was flawless and perfectly represented what we wanted as a couple. The flowers were just about the most beautiful florals I've ever seen, the food was INCREDIBLE, the in-house DJs were so fun and sweet, the wait staff on board was kind and attentive, our day of coordinator, Jeremy, was a helpful and calming presence, and overall the day was just perfect. Our guests truly were raving about every aspect of the event. I'm so thrilled we chose Sunquest for our wedding, and I will never forget how special it was.

Can’t say enough about the Solaris team and how wonderful they were. Our wedding planner Courtney made everything seem so easy and stress free. She was so great to work with and brought all my ideas to life effortlessly and made the planning process fun. The flowers and reception space were even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Our day of coordinator Jeremy was equally as great, accommodating and easy going. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was! In house DJ was also a hit and knew exactly what to play. Can’t thank them enough!

Great crew, amazing venue, and most importantly- the most FUN wedding ever! Angela and Gwen made the task of hosting a “destination wedding” easier than what my friends had to do locally! Book Sunquest/Solaris then make sure your dance floor is on the sky deck! You won’t regret it. 10/10.

I am so grateful we chose Sunquest Cruises as our venue to get married. From the planning to the day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. Kristi was amazing throughout the planning. On the day of the wedding, I finally got to see my visions come together, and I was speechless. The ceremony and reception was perfect. Every little detail from the flowers, to the dinner table set up, the music, the food--- it was perfect! Thank you Sunquest Cruises Team!

Sunquest absolutely killed it. Everything from the flower arrangements to the DJ to the attentive staff and excellent food was completely on point. Our only complaint was that the magical night was over far too quickly. Jeremy went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect and even helped us get everything to the car an hour after the event was over. Many guests were overheard saying that this was the best wedding that they had ever attended! We would highly recommend sunquest cruises. One note it’s definitely worth it to add in the add ons such as the lighting package as it really helped to set the mood.

I was the maid of honor at a wedding and opted to do a video toast - I can't say enough about Jeremy from the Solaris yacht! He offered to meet with me before the wedding to ensure all the technology worked, and he was incredibly supportive and helpful the day of the wedding as well. The staff during the wedding were all very friendly and kind, making the whole experience one to remember! The food was very good as well!

Planning a wedding long distance can be difficult! When i say Sunquest Cruises went above and beyond for our wedding . I was highly impressed. Our wedding was so dreamy and romantic and the timing was spot on. This was the best wedding our guest have ever been to. we are the talk of the town!! We choose the Blissful ceremony package and 2 Lunch Cruise!!

My husband and I had the BEST wedding ceremony and reception aboard the Solaris yacht! I would not have changed anything. Kelsey, our day of coordinator, made sure everything was perfect! She was so flexible and accommodating. The food was fantastic, and several guests have since expressed how much they enjoyed the food. I highly recommendation Sunquest Cruises!

By far some of the most caring professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The yacht the food everything was perfect they are truly wedding artist.

The staff went above and beyond. Both the ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect! Our wedding weekend had many wonderful memories, mainly because of SunQuest. our guests loved every aspect of the event from the venue to the food to the decor. It was by far one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever attended. Thank you from the bottom of our hers for helping us make our dream a reality.

The team at Sunquest cruises is truly top notch and we cannot recommend them enough! I really wanted a smaller wedding that did not take me months/years to plan out and Sunquest gave us just that! Julie, our wedding planner, helped us plan our night down to the exact detail and helped us decide on ways to personalize our ceremony and reception to make all of our dreams come true! Having in house catering, photography, and florists made choosing vendors a breeze and Sunquest even provided a list of preferred outside vendors that made planning our entire weekend so so easy. The house band was so fun and had our guests out on the dance floor all night! We truly enjoyed ourselves and all of our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had. We are actually already planning to go back on a dinner cruise on the Solaris because we can’t get enough of this amazing team of people! They truly made sure every detail was what we wanted and made our night so special! I would not change a single thing about our wedding! Thank you everyone withy Sunquest Cruises!!

2020 has been a rough year so far & we were debating whether to have wedding or not. We are so glad we went thru with our wedding in August and is going to be highlight of the year! Kristi & staff made the perfect day for us! From day 1 the communication for our destination wedding was informative and such quick responses. Our wedding day was perfect! Staff was so helpful, friendly, professional and catered to our every need! The minute we stepped foot on the boat, you can tell that the staff was passionate about what they do. Floral and decoration was simple and yet so beautiful! Food was so tasty & fresh- quality seafood. The captain was so nice & gave encouraging words to us. Literally the perfect day, the perfect event and we could not be more grateful to you all for making our memorable event. Thank you SunQuest Cruises! We will definitely be returning for our anniversary! The Quintanilla

The entire staff of Sunquest Cruises exceeded our expectations. Covid-19 caused us to have devastating changes to our wedding plans forced upon us very last minute. Thank goodness for Kristi and her team. We planned the most amazing wedding we could have ever dreamed of in 9 days!! The planners were totally dedicated to meeting our needs and some! The planning was seamless and they removed 100% of the stress from me! I cannot even describe what a fantastic job they did. The yacht is beautiful, the weather was perfect, and we had the time of our lives. I would 103983% recommend.

By far the best experience I have and probably will ever had. I'll break it down into two parts: preparation and the wedding. I started preparing a year in advance because I was getting deployed and wouldn't be able to focus on it until a couple of months before. Suffice to say they were great. I stayed in contact with Julie one of their wedding coordinators (the best coordinator ever) via email, and every email was succinct and to the point. Any question I had no matter how trivial or nonsensical was answered in a fast and thorough way. Julie also helped coordinate all the vendors from the cake, flowers, photographer and even afterwards with floral preservation. Honestly, this was the easiest preparation I ever had to do. I was asked what I preferred, answered as such and the magic was done. The actual wedding day, was magical I was blown away boarding the ship. I could not believe how beautiful the ship was transformed into. I was able to meet the rest of the staff and the day of coordinator Nicole knew everything that Julie and I discussed, they were extremely helpful and happy to be there for me! Unfortunately it rained that day, funnily enough it was a beautiful and bright day the day before and after, but Sunquest still made it magical and amazing. From the ceremony to the reception and dancing it was the best night of my life. In conclusion, I am definitely one that pays for convenience to make my life easier, and this was the best way to do a wedding for anyone that likes to make their life easier or even those that want to be in charge of every detail. The best part though was that it wasn't even that expensive compared to what a magical night I was given and the little I had to do. I would highly recommend Sunquest to anyone for their special day because they'll make it even more memorable!

Overall I would give Sunquest/ Solaris a 4/5 star rating. They were really wonderful to work with and my wedding day was absolutely perfect. I planned a destination wedding from NC to FL, and from the beginning they made the planning process so easy and as stress free as possible. The food and service on the ship was 5/5 stars, the bar was excellent, plenty of options for everyone on board, and the atmosphere was perfect. The reason I did not give them a full 5/5 stars for the whole experience, is for the following: My coordinator who was with me through out the entire planning process, unfortunately was not there the day of my wedding. Some details such as seating arrangements, what our first dance song was, where my toss bouquet was, and our vows, got messed up the day of. I guess just due to miscommunication between her and the girl who took over for her the day of. The other thing that threw us off guard, and do not be surprised by this, you most likely will not be the only bride on board, unless you rent out the entire ship. We rented the second deck, and even though it was more private than sharing the first deck, guests from the main deck, including brides and grooms, will float up to your reception area. It did not take away from how fun it was, I just was not expecting it. It does in a way take away from making you feel like its "your day", when you are not the only one in a wedding gown at your reception. Overall it was so much fun.

My wedding was on Sunday 01 September 2019 - Labor Day Wkd and I was beyond worried about a number of things. One being previous negative comments about this ship and their crew. My wedding day/ evening/ night was an absolute JOY!!!!! Nicole Manard did her thing and I so apologize for ever doubting her due to comments and experience. Her energy & professionalism was and still is very much appreciated. The band showed up and showed off ensuring the night of sounds was filled with fun jams to dance to. Not sure if it was on purpose but we loved the old school jams from artist originally from our home town - BOSTON!!! Every single person that attended said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. The decor was on point / food was good/ drinks timely/ staff super pleasant / weather PERFECT “Thank the Lord only for that”.... even the Captain was super nice! SunQuest Cruise we appreciate you and hope to spend our one year anniversary on board with you guys. The only hiccup we had was the AC going out for a moment right before ceremony - my bridal crew are troopers and were prepared with mini fans so we were ok. Came back on in due time. Things happen - remain positive! Thank you SOLARIS for making such a memorable day an absolute beautiful one that I will forever SMILE about when thought about! Do I recommend you guys? HECK YEAH Note: Do the staff and yourself a favor brides and be punctual / orderly when they request information. They are humans and have other clients. Being proactive and specific is key. Nicole did great with all follow up emails and even provided some suggestions that ended up saving me money (cake) - beautiful and tasty. We appreciate you so much Nicole and really hope all your clients give you the respect and credit you so deserve girlie .......“SLIM”

Choosing to host our reception on the Solaris was the best decision we made while planning our wedding! We were able to use just one vendor to plan food, flowers, music, and photography. SunQuest made wedding planning easier than we ever thought possible. Julie and the entire team ensured that our day was flawless, thank you!!!

SunQuest is amazing!! I was offered an event planner to help me from day 1 who stayed with me the entire time leading up to my wedding. I'm so glad that I found SunQuest, who made planning my destination wedding SO easy. The entire team is incredibly helpful and made sure that every detail was in order. Guests are still talking about how great the food was even weeks after!

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner and venue. They helped me with everything down to the beach where we got married down to the appetizers and flowers! I live out of town so everything was through email and phone calls, but Julie helped me every step through. You get to pick your details and add special touches to your package to fit your needs. Regardless if you book with sunquest cruises you won’t be disappointed!!

Held our son’s rehearsal dinner on the Solaris and was not disappointed in any way. The food was outstanding from beginning to end. The service was great. Nicole worked with me on everything I needed like testing our video equipment ahead of time. We chose the convenience of having them prepare our table centerpieces. I went with a simple starfish and hydrangea piece. The hydrangea was fresh and beautiful. The entertainers were great. Can’t give Solaris credit for the sunset but it was absolutely gorgeous that night. All in all a very memorable occasion which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks to everyone at Solaris for making our event special.

These guys really knew what they were doing! From beginning to end, we felt taken care of and really listened to. They went above and beyond to find my rare flowers I wanted and even packed everything up after the reception and put it in my vehicle for me! All of my guests raved at the quality of the food and service, and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend them

I was married on this amazing yacht April 20, 2019. The staff, venue, and food was remarkable. I would do it all over again if I could. The staff delivered 5 star service. If I could give them a 100 I would. My day was beautiful and perfect because of the wonderful service they provide. Thank you!

I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for anybody and everybody. Julie and her team were able to make our dream wedding a reality. They were always available to answer any questions (even super last minute). They are reliable, easy to connect with, and honest. Julie was understanding about our budget limitations and gave us second and third options if we requested them. As a bride that had a hard time making decisions, they were able to narrow down options for me that were elegant yet affordable. The day of, there was some questionable weather. Some plans had to be rearranged due to this but it still turned out amazingly, and our guests had a great time/would have never known. My husband and I truly would not have changed a thing. I love that we were able to get married somewhere extremely unique with a classic wedding feel! When you imagine a wedding, you tend to think it's overwhelming and stressful, but not with SunQuest. Everything from start to finish was a breeze thanks to their Team. The food was awesome too!! I wish we could rewind back to our wedding day so we could do it all over again!!!

I can not say enough good things about our experience with Sunquest. Being local, we had always heard great things about them, but they beyond exceeded our expectations. We chose to have our ceremony and reception on the Solaris Yacht. From the very beginning Kristi made the process very easy. We were then introduced to our wedding planner/event coordinator Julie who was AMAZING. Julie maintained constant communication with me during the whole planning period and even met with me in person on more than one occasion. She recommended great local vendors and had an answer to every question and a solution to every issue we encountered. The night before the wedding we had a super fun bonfire at the local beach organized by Kristi and Jeremy. When it came to the wedding day, Julie had everything organized to a tee. The venue was BEAUTIFUL, the DJ was great, and the staff was so kind and accommodating, and the food was wonderful. My guests haven't stopped raving about how fun the whole experience was. I truly could not have asked for a better wedding.

My husband and I had a wonderful evening wedding aboard the Solaris! I personally feel like it went better than I had hoped, despite the windy day. The food was delicious and the staff was efficient and friendly. Our coordinator was so friendly and kept everything in order. I don’t think I would have changed a thing about our special day.

Beautiful and unique venue for any wedding. All of the Solaris staff members were superb. They provided a wedding planner that worked closely with us from Day 1 of planning to ensure our vision came to life, and we were not disappointed. The food was spectacular. When you book the Solaris for your wedding and reception, everything is done by one group of people. So, our wedding planner, flowers, decor, food, and DJ all came through the Solaris. It made planning so much easier and less stressful to be working with one main vendor vs trying to coordinate multiple different vendors. All of our guests loved the food and DJ, and you can’t get any better than the view of the bay from your own private yacht.

My daughter was married aboard the Solaris 10/27/2018, It was more than we could have imagined! I worked with Kristi and I told her I'm sad our journey is over. She was so pleasant and comforting to work with. It didn't matter what obstacles came our way, she smiled and took care of them. The food was amazing, the D J was great, Captain Lenny was the sweetest ever. We had a bit of a windy day, but he assured my daughter we would sail, and we did. Can't thank the whole crew and team members enough.

I was married on this amazing yacht this past Sunday. Best day ever! Julie, the coordinator was a dream to work with; always attentive, reliable and willing to answer any questions I had, no matter how silly lol. Being out-of-towners, we put all of our faith in her and the staff and they all totally exceeded expectations. I could not be happier with how everything turned out! Our rehearsal dinner was a bonfire on the beach, Sunquest did that too and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Any brides/grooms: use Sunquest! You will not be disappointed!! Dean

Our experience with Sunquest Cruises was truly amazing, from start to finish! We didn’t want it to end. Julie went above & beyond her duties, always answering questions from my daughter/the bride via text, phone, & email. This made the planning phase go so easy being 12 hours away! Once we boarded the Solaris yacht, it was wonderful! Julie was on it & kept every aspect of the wedding on task, smooth & flawless. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful view for a wedding ceremony. The flowers were gorgeous & the Captain was awesome as the officiant. The entertainer/DJ/MC did an outstanding job throughout the evening. He had people dancing for every song. All staff, were very helpful & friendly...the bartender, the servers, were excellent! The food was delicious! Everyone raved about the appetizers & their meals. It was like eating at a 5 star restaurant! Hats off to the chef & kitchen staff. It was a magical wedding & we’d do it over again & again. We recommend this wedding & reception experience to all! Thank you, thank you!

Everything about our reception was perfect from beginning to end. Julie and her team worked relentlessly so the evening flowed smoothly all the way through our sparkler send off. All of our guests raved about the ambiance and decor onboard. The food was AMAZING...the guests boasted about how great their entrees were. Not one complaint. Julie made sure the groom and I were in the know about everything that would happen next throughout the evening (did i mention how great she is?) After dinner, the DJ got the party going and we all had a night to remember. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about their experience at our reception. We owe it all to Julie and her team because they made sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Julie is incredible!! The whole wedding process was stress-free and simple! If I had an idea, Julie made it happen! When I had no ideas, Julie offered suggestions that matched exactly what I loved! The wedding and reception turned out perfect and there is nothing I would change about the day or planning process!

Sunquest cruises took care of our reception as well as our wedding ceremony and beach bonfire rehearsal dinner. Kristi Julie and their team made my vision a reality. The beach bonfire rehearsal was unique and fun and everything we wanted it to be. My only regret is not requesting more benches or getting a permit for longer than three hours! It was so fun no one was ready for it to end! The ceremony setup was also beautiful. I requested simple and clean and they delivered. My only regret is again not paying for additional benches for our guests. But that’s my own doing! The reception was unlike any we or our guests had ever been to. We were fortunate to have good weather that made for a gorgeous backdrop as we cruised the night away. We were supposed to dock an hour early to let the young kids depart a little earlier than others and that didn’t happen - but it’s safe to say the kiddos didn’t mind! The food was wonderful, all of our guests were raving about it. Drinks were great and the bartenders and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The in-house DJ kept everyone entertained and was a lot of fun! We can’t wait to get back to Destin soon and take “our boat” out for a dinner cruise! Thanks Sunquest cruises for a great event!

My daughter and son-in-law recently got married aboard the Solaris Yacht (5/20/18). It was absolutely perfect!!! When my daughter first talked about a destination wedding, she was unsure about a location/venue. She found out about the Solaris and started emailing Kristi for more information. She was so helpful. Because of Kristi’s quick response to questions and the 5 star reviews, we decided to book her wedding. Once we had signed the contract, Julie began corresponding with my daughter to plan the wedding. Julie was a true blessing! When you are planning a long-distance wedding, it is kind of worrisome not knowing what it will actually be like when you arrive. But Julie was absolutely perfect in helping my daughter plan every detail. She had great ideas about decorations, flowers, etc. She was always willing to make changes as necessary. The wedding took place right before sunset and a storm was passing off in the distance which made for a beautiful sky with the mix of sun and clouds. There was even a rainbow, which was awesome. Julie and the staff did a great job of decorating and incorporating personal items we had brought from home. The food was delicious! The appetizer crab cakes and barbeque shrimp were the best, I would definitely recommend those. The main course, as well as salad and carving stations, was equally as wonderful. The bartenders really got a workout, lol. They were so wonderful and personable with our guests. All of our guests said how much fun they had and how beautiful the wedding was. Many of them made a mini-vacation out of it. The captain, Julie and all of the staff members were first-rate, so professional and accommodating. Thanks to all of you! If you are planning a destination wedding do not be hesitant about booking the Solaris for your wedding and reception. We are so glad we put our trust in Julie. This venue was perfect for a destination wedding! Karam Family from Louisiana

Amazing service, food, bar/drinks flowers, and dj. They made our wedding so special. Julie and her team were amazing!

I’m so happy to hear that not many people had the same experience as I did with this company. In the beginning, when I was deciding on packages and everything else, Kristi was amazing. I was getting responses in a very timely manner. Once this part was done, I was handed off to Julie (my “wedding planner”). That’s when everything went downhill. We/I started planning my beach wedding. It would take at least 2 days to get a response from her up until the week of the wedding. That’s fine. I’m a patient person. About a week or so before the wedding, we saw that the weather was supposed to be bad the day of. They say that there is a backup location, but based upon availability. I was offered the boat from 3-4 P.M. (my wedding was set to start at 6P.M.), but we still had friends/family driving in on that day so that option would not be possible. Up until I was able to get in touch with Kristi again, I was having to call around to find a different location because Julie was very busy with other things. So in the end, the rain held off and we got the beach wedding we wanted at the original location. We did not get to have a reception because the wind was too strong for the bonfire reception we had planned (I did get a refund for the bonfire). Also, because I did not purchase a normal reception and catering through them, they did not help find a backup location for it. As I was told, it wasn’t their responsibility. Instead of an apology for everything wrong, I was basically sent a list of reasons why everything was my fault and they did their job. Now, going on 3 weeks later, I get a call from the courthouse telling me that they didn’t fully complete their portion of the marriage license so it can’t be processed yet. What’s next?

If there is one thing to say about having a wedding on the Solaris Yacht it is how amazing the wedding planner Julie is! Everything she was involved with was picture perfect for our wedding, and she made sure all the special touches we wanted were taken care of. It was beyond helpful to have her plan our wedding, and our minds could be at ease knowing she was on top of everything. Sunquest cruises is definitely lucky to have her! Also, the food was beyond amazing! We let our guests pick what entree they wanted, and everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the food. The yacht was such a fun venue for a wedding, and all our guests loved it. We felt like we lived a fairy tale for a day, and it was truly an amazing wedding on the yacht. Our only complaints, to be completely honest, were the DJ and officiant. We chose to use the DJ the yacht contracts with and made a custom list of songs we wanted played and gave it to him ahead of time. He didn't follow the list though and played music we didn't care for, which is what we were trying to avoid. He also was not the most professional person and pronounced our last name wrong when announcing our first dance, so maybe look into getting a different DJ. The officiant/captain did not seem comfortable doing our ceremony, acting nervous and stumbling over words, and was unaware of what was taking place in the ceremony, such as us saying our own vows, even though we had told me. He also pronounced our last name wrong when introducing us for the first time, even after we had told him beforehand how to pronounce it, and we do not have a hard last name to pronounce, which was kind of a let down. Other than those two hiccups, we would definitely recommend the Solaris Yacht for a wedding and and amazing Julie. It was a wedding to remember, and so much fun!

We LOVED having our all inclusive wedding aboard the Solaris Yacht! We had the BEST.WEDDING.EVER!! People are still talking about our wedding when we see them. From the time I booked the wedding with Kristi, she was very accommodating and even made things fit within our budget. We got married The Sunday before Memorial Day (5/28/17). Once Julie started helping us plan it went smooth as well. She was more than accommodating with different options and again squeezed things in that weren’t really in our budget. They work with you so well in all aspects. The captain who married us was phenomenal!! Very personable. We were from Atlanta, Georgia and I was so nervous about booking before I actually saw everything. They offered my husband and I to come if we were able to cruise beforehand. It was amazing and we knew from the second we stepped on the Yacht with all of the friendly staff we were in good hands. Julie met with us a couple of times when we visited Destin, on site and off site to go over all of our special requests and answer all of my questions and concerns! Day of our wedding Julie and staff stayed on schedule and our wedding was a breeze! The only thing I would change is the in -house DJ. He was absolutely amazing when we did an evening cruise. He sang amazing and DJ’d. He was having a bit of an off day on our wedding night I guess :) But that didn’t stop our guests from having an unforgettable night. The food was absolutely amazing!! We highly recommend the crab cake appetizers and the filet mignon. Everybody raved about them! There’s nothing I would change about our special day!
