Services
Everything we do, itemised
One team runs the ship, the ceremony, the cabins, the guests and the money — and the cruise lines pay for all of it.
The Cruise Bride coordinates the sailing, the cabins and the guest travel. The cruise line runs its own wedding program where one is offered.
Tell us about your celebration
A cruise wedding specialist replies personally, usually within one business day.
Couples usually arrive thinking they need one thing — a ceremony on a ship — and discover the work is actually ten things. Here are all ten, in the order they happen. None of them carries a fee; the cruise lines pay us a commission on fares that were going to be booked anyway.
If you only read two, read the cabin block and the guest management pages. Those are the two pieces couples most often try to do themselves, and the two they are most relieved to hand over.
What we handle
Every service below is included when we plan your wedding.
- Full cruise wedding planningOne specialist who runs the whole thing — ship, sailing, ceremony, cabins, guests and reception — at no cost to you.
- Group cabin blocksA held block of cabins at a locked group rate, so your guests book into the same price, the same decks and the same dinner.
- Ceremony coordination with the cruise lineWe book and manage the ceremony itself — the slot, the venue, the officiant, the licence — with the line's wedding department.
- Reception design at seaFrom a reserved section of the dining room to a private venue with an open bar — the reception formats that actually work on a ship.
- Photography and video at seaShip photographers, local port photographers, and the honest trade-offs of each — plus what the base packages actually include.
- Guest travel, flights and pre-cruise hotelsEvery guest arrives the day before, sleeps near the port, and boards calm — arranged for your whole list, not just you.
- Guest management and RSVPsEvery guest question answered, every cabin booked, every dietary need logged — without a single spreadsheet touching your inbox.
- Legal paperwork and licence guidanceWhich licence, from which authority, in which order, by when — for the port, the state or the foreign country you marry in.
- Accessibility and special needs planningAccessible cabins, mobility logistics, dietary needs and medical requirements — arranged early, when the ship can still say yes.
- Payment plans and budgetsSmall deposits, monthly payments, and a final deadline months before sailing — how a whole guest list affords the trip.
