Stop the Wedding Stress, Choose Intimacy.

Your fully planned, private sunset sail on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans.

Stop planning a performance for 200 people and start planning a moment for two. While most couples are busy managing a guest list, you could be watching the sunset from the deck of a private boat, focusing on the only person who actually matters.

You thought a traditional wedding would be exciting. But now?

Maybe you’ve already done the big wedding before… and this time, you want something that feels different. More real. More fun. Less noise. On the water.

You keep thinking:

  • — What if we just ran away to a sailboat?
  • — Are we allowed to make this easy and beautiful?
  • — Is it too late to cancel the whole thing and start fresh?

Let me hand you an anchor while I say this:

You’re not the problem. The wedding industry and outdated traditions are.
And you don’t have to play along.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can we bring guests on the sailboat? +
Due to coast guard regulations and the intimacy of the vessel, the Sailboat Elopement is limited to the couple + 4 guests. You can arrange a shoreside reception for more guests afterward!
What if the weather is bad? +
We closely monitor the forecast. If heavy rain or high winds are predicted, we pivot to a beautiful land-based backup location or adjust the timing. Your ceremony is guaranteed to happen beautifully, no matter what.
Do we need a separate permit? +
No! Since the ceremony is performed on a private vessel, you skip the public park permit process. We handle all licensing and nautical logistics for you.
We’re camera shy. Will it feel awkward? +
Not at all! We specialize in making real moments look beautiful without the “posey” feel. The movement of the boat and the open air make it feel more like an adventure and less like a photo shoot.
