Ask The Experts: Getting Married on a Cruise or Saving the Experience for the Honeymoon

There is something uniquely romantic about getting married on a cruise. Cruise weddings have been popular for a long time, and offer a charming and magical way for couples to celebrate their love and demonstrate their commitment to one another. The tradition of getting married on board ship is so longstanding that captains are able to legally marry couples!

However, there are some downsides to a marine wedding, and there are plenty of couples who prefer to take a special offer cruise for their honeymoon and do something more traditional for the ceremony itself.

There are pros and cons to both approaches, and the choice ultimately depends on your own preferences as a couple. To give you a helping hand when it comes to making a decision, here are some of the most important things to keep in mind.

Getting Married on a Cruise

Pros:

Convenience

One of the best things about cruise weddings is how convenient they are. Just like the rest of a cruise vacation, the cruise line can take care of pretty much every aspect of wedding organization, planning, and management, from the ceremony venue and officiant to the reception and even the cake. This means less stress for the couple, allowing you to enjoy your big day in total relaxation.

Scenic Backdrops

Another fantastic benefit to a cruise wedding is the location, which can be…anywhere you want in the world! You can get married with the sun setting beyond the horizon with nothing but ocean waves for miles and miles, or with gently swaying palms and golden sand beaches as a backdrop.

Guest-Friendly

Thanks to the size of a cruise ship, a cruise wedding can accommodate any number of guests, meaning you can have a small, intimate ceremony or an enormous blow-out. It also means your guests get a bonus vacation as part of the reception!

Meredith and Josh’s ‘Modern Boho’ Mountain Ranch Wedding by Sara Bill Photography 

Today we are heading to the mountains for this gorgeous ranch wedding deep in the heart of Wyoming. Meredith and Josh were married on 11th September in Moran. With their first choice of Turks and Caicos off the cards due to Covid and travel restrictions, they decided the next best thing would be a mountain wedding in one of their most loved National Parks. They filled the day with neutral decoration and modern touches and kept the detailing elegant but with a boho twist. Big thanks to Sara Bill Photography for the lovely photos.

Danni and Jonny’s Hands on Family Farm Wedding in Essex by Jodie Mitchell

I just love today’s wedding, set in the Essex countryside, on the brides parents family farm, full of the most stunning flowers, DIY details and plenty of fun, what’s not to love! Danni and Jonny had 2 ceremonies, the ‘official/legal one’ 3 days before the main event, which is pretty common these days when holding an outdoor ceremony in the UK. This meant their main wedding day could be anything they wanted it to be. They kept it light, fun and full of personal touches, which was perfect for the laid back venue of the family farm. They took a very hands on approach to the wedding planning, with lots of elements being DIY, from the signs, to the confetti, so many lovely handmade touches which really made their day super personal. I’m a sucker for a marquee wedding and the odd hay bale, so I just love this wedding. Big thanks to Jodie Mitchell for the gorgeous photos.

The most wonderful (hot) day, full of fun, relaxed vibes and surprise entertainment.

Danni and Jonny were married on 27th August  2022 (24 August 2022 official ceremony). ‘The Official ceremony was at New Hall School, Essex. Ceremony with all friends and Family – Fieldhouse Farm (Danni’s parents family home) Reception- Marquee at Fieldhouse Farm. New Hall was the school I (Danni) attended and where I made my closest group of friends so it was a truly sentimental venue for us. We decided to host the wedding there for around 60 family and some close friends on 24th August. We then wanted to have a really fun slightly less traditional ceremony for around 120 of our friends and family at my parents family home, they have a lovely garden where we hosted the ceremony and then a field where we had the reception, growing up we had always had big campouts in the field with all our friends so it felt like a great way to celebrate. We got engaged in May 2021 and were married in August 2022 (we had managed to book our marquee and caterer about 2 weeks after getting engaged so definitely didn’t wait around!)’
