Sydney Boat Wedding

A joyful, adventurous couple sets sail from Rose Bay Marina, their hearts full of excitement, as they journey towards Sydney Harbour under a perfect blue sky. The yacht glides smoothly across the sparkling waters, setting the stage for a deeply romantic wedding ceremony. With a small group of close friends gathered aboard, the couple exchanges heartfelt vows and rings, celebrating their love with plenty of champagne. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, love, and the undeniable charm of Sydney’s iconic harbour.

Wedding Cruises 

A Unique and Unforgettable Wedding at Sea

Tying the knot aboard a cruise is an extraordinary experience, blending romance with adventure. This particular celebration took place on one of Captain Cook Cruises, where the couple exchanged vows against the stunning backdrop of open waters, followed by a lively reception onboard.

There’s something truly magical about drifting across the harbour, surrounded by breathtaking views and the gentle sway of the waves. For both the newlyweds and their guests, it transforms a traditional wedding into an unforgettable journey. It’s no surprise that Sydney Harbour wedding cruises have become a sought-after choice for couples looking to celebrate in style.

The cruise company provided the whole setting of the chairs, the runner, the signing table and even the DJ who played the bride and groom’s chosen music. 

It was a lovely romantic afternoon in Sydney Harbour. We sailed about 5 minutes away from the Opera House, but so that in the background the photographer could capture both the Opera House and Sydney bridge during the ceremony itself. 

Boat Weddings

It was such a special day having a wedding on Halloween as a theme.

Since most of their families are overseas, the bride and groom both dressed in black were surrounded by happy chirpy supporting friends who sailed with us to witness them tieing the knot. 

So we were really lucky to have a beautiful sunny day on the harbour when this lovely couple decided to tie the knot on Farm Cove on the harbour.

Cruise Weddings

This was a truly unforgettable wedding on a cruise in Sydney Harbour. Saying “I do” on the water is already magical, but this was something extraordinary. The journey began at The Steps near the iconic Sydney Opera House, setting the perfect scene. As we sailed beneath the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge, the couple exchanged vows, surrounded by breathtaking views and the gentle rhythm of the waves. A wedding like no other—elegant, intimate, and filled with pure joy. 🚢💍✨

Family and friends gathered near the Opera House and had some time for some photoshoots when we all board the cruise. Beautiful wedding ceremony in the heart of the harbour.

The civil ceremony was followed by traditional Korean wedding rituals, as the bride is from Korea. While the groom is from Italy. Amazing multicultrual wedding!

A cruise wedding can offer a breathtaking and unforgettable way to say “I do” while gliding across the sparkling waters. Cruise ship weddings combine luxury, adventure, and romance, creating an intimate yet grand experience. With a skilled Sydney celebrant, you can exchange vows beneath the open sky, with the ocean as your witness. As a professional celebrant I ensure a seamless, stress-free ceremony. 🚢💍

Wedding on a Boat 

It was on New Year’s Eve, definitely a very special wedding ceremony. There is an unbelievable extremely special atmosphere in the air. As there are so many lights just about everywhere. And everyone feels happy and festive. The harbour is packed with yachts, and the feeling is electrifying. 

So this romantic groom decided to surprise his fiance with a wedding ceremony that night. The couple has already been engaged for quite some time. So the groom contacted me and we planned it all together. 

At the nine o’clock fireworks, the groom casually said to his fiance that it would be nice if they tied the knot that night. His fiance agreed. And that’s when the groom told her that he actually had organized for a celebrant to arrive on the yacht later that night. And that being me.

How romantic!!!

So the groom arranged for a water taxi for me at 10:30 pm. Obviously, I had to check with the bride that in absolutely no circumstances she was under pressure to go ahead with the ceremony. Only once I established that we could go ahead with the wedding ceremony. 

The ceremony was an intimate affair, just the couple and their two witnesses. One played double duty as the photographer, while the other had the special role of ring bearer. A little laughter filled the air as we took extra precautions—after all, no one wanted the ring taking an unplanned dive into the water! 😊
