Consider these Three Things for your Wedding on the Water

To set the record straight, a San Diego yacht wedding is a great idea any time of the year.

Depending on when and where your wedding takes place, however, make certain that your idea of the perfect wedding lines up with the big day’s weather conditions, season, and swell size.

Weather plays a major part in any yacht wedding. While San Diego sports sunny skies over 3000 hours annually, doing some research on the expected weather of your wedding is imperative to smooth sailing. Depending on the monthly weather of your wedding day, boats can experience stronger winds, colder breezes, higher humidity, and more. Check on monthly weather patterns before making your yacht reservations, so you know what to expect when you’re walking down the aisle.

Meet Shabana and Chris–two yacht-crossed lovers who first crossed paths on Chris’ father’s yacht. Soon enough, the two decided to sail into the sunset as husband and wife. Their big day was planned out with immense care thanks to help from experienced wedding planner Ann Strobel of Ann’s Plans. The surrounding weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The wedding featured gentle breezes and wispy clouds splattered in between golden rays.

Know what kind of seasons San Diego has. A spring day in San Diego may be a little gloomier than most, or it may be hazily hot. Autumn days teeter between morning/evening fog and sunny skies, while foliage remains green from summer. While other wedding destinations stay true to their seasons, San Diego, and most of the California coast, does not. If you envision your San Diego yacht wedding taking place on a warmer, cloudless day, you will want to plan your day in September instead of June.

Chris and Shabana enjoyed picture-perfect conditions during their late summer ceremony. As their guests watched them exchange vows at the incredible Loews Coronado Bay Resort, the summer-fall transition in San Diego gave the wedding a refreshing atmosphere to a romantic union.

While this happy couple held their reception on land after exchanging vows at Loews, yachts are popular locations for wedding receptions. As all aboard your yacht may dance and celebrate the fun, remember: it is your captain’s job to keep the vessel steady like a luxury cruise, launching and docking without a single error. Your captain should assiduously maintain control over the charter and know about the surrounding wave conditions extensively. Choosing a credible, experienced professional who knows how to handle any wave condition is crucial for you and your guests. If your captain won’t know how to navigate through various swells coming into the harbor, you can expect seasick guests, falling decorations and equipment, and an unsafe environment.

Shabana and Chris effortlessly enjoyed a beautiful reception after their exceptional ceremony. This wedding was simply perfect, thanks to Ann’s Plans, their beautiful venue, and their caring guests. Cheers to this happy couple, who will now rock the boat as husband and wife.
