USS Sequoia Wedding | Happy 4th Anniversary!

As I like to say, G & M were my one and only “funny date” wedding – they got married on 11/12/13. It was a chilly Tuesday and Presidential yacht the USS Sequoia docked out of Old Town Alexandria, instead of its usual port in southwest DC. G & M plus their twenty-eight closest friends and family enjoyed a cozy cruise along the Potomac River. There was a ceremony inside, then a brief reception on the deck, followed by a buffet lunch back inside the yacht.

Choosing to host an event on a boat presents certain challenges. If you decide to leave the dock, then your guests will not be able to leave early for any reason. People might worry about seasickness, but most river cruises lack any chop and the ships are going so slowly that you will barely notice it. There is not often a great back up with an event on a ship, so be sure to ask about your options there.
