However, there are a few unique considerations that you need to take care of for organizing wedding ceremonies on the cruise. Let us delve into a few dos and don\u2019ts of fabulous cruise ship weddings.<\/p>\n

All-inclusive wedding packages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of the cruises that offer wedding services have an all-inclusive wedding package, including a wedding planner. Though you can also select DIY packages where all is done according to your preferred choice. If you chose an all-inclusive package, they would ensure all the details including flowers, proper paperwork, and customs\/port needs are set on time. They are experts in planning weddings assisting in arranging decorations, bouquets, marriage cakes, wedding photographers, etc. And when you are at it, don\u2019t forget to ask for the best wedding officiant in New York.<\/p>\n

Plan your wedding in advance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Typically cruise lines need a minimum of 30-60 days in advance of booking a wedding package. Besides, cruises have limited space and they are booked up quickly depending on the seasons. Some cruises even book rooms up to a year and a half in advance. Therefore, you need to check with the cruise lines before you set a date for your marriage ceremony and book the cruise as earliest as possible.<\/p>\n

Consider the costs of cruise ship weddings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is not a secret that wedding ceremonies are costly affairs. Even a courthouse marriage incurs several fees and charges. In a survey conducted by The Knot Real Weddings Study, the average cost of marriage in the USA is $28,000 ($34,000 including the engagement ring). However, if you want the ceremony to be conducted on the water, you will need to consider factors such as the price of each guest\u2019s ticket in addition to their meals, entertainment, and other expenses. It is possible to plan an affordable cruise ship wedding if you have a small guest list and a modest ceremony.<\/p>\n

Legal requirements for a cruise wedding<\/h2>\n

To legalize your wedding, you need a registered wedding officiant NYC. Before you board a ship for a wedding, ensure you take along a trusted wedding officiant with you onboard. Also, let your officiant know the details of the ceremony, so he leads the wedding and set its tone easily. You can hire the best marriage officiant at Nautical Wedding Bells. Your wedding officiant signs the marriage license along with a witness at the marriage ceremony.<\/p>\n
