A Nautical Yacht Wedding at Yacht StarShip in Tampa, Florida

Since Becky Arnold and Rob Strawder met on the beach, it only made sense that the pair would plan a nautical wedding filled with navy, white and yellow details. To top it off, the couple made their already memorable day even more unforgettable by choosing a yacht from Yacht StarShip as their wedding venue. Becky and Rob were married on the deck by the ship's captain as their guests watched from white folding chairs. After Becky and Rob said "I do," their family and friends waved yellow and blue streamers for a fun and colorful recessional. The celebration then moved to a private room below deck decorated with sea-inspired details, like wooden sailboats and rope-wrapped white lanterns filled with seashells. Becky, Rob and their guests took a lunch cruise, which allowed them to explore the ship for two and a half hours. Before returning to shore, all enjoyed a two-tier blue and white wedding cake with rope accents as well as anchor-detailed cupcakes in the wedding's color palette.

We are BLOWN AWAY by our experience! The staff was so professional and sweet - class act, five-star service! And this is after they serviced a wedding earlier in the day! And the FOOD! Omgosh we were so pleasantly surprised! We eat a lot of catered food obviously lol and did not expect much for the food - but WOW were we wrong! Everything was DELICIOUS! Our favorites were the homemade salad dressing, prime rib and the creamy tomato soup. And the bread pudding!!!!! My goodness we felt spoiled! We are so very grateful for this experience. We truly had a lovely evening enjoying this experience and of course the beautiful boat ride and scenery. We even made it to the dance floor!
