A Blissful Brunch Wedding
People love brunch, and for good reason. With delicious foods and refreshing drinks, it’s a winning combination. Throw in amazing views of the Norfolk Harbor and the Navy’s Atlantic Fleet, and you have a recipe for success. People tend to feel more relaxed and casual with brunch and it’s a great opportunity to lean into that in multiple ways. Hosting a brunch wedding on the water provides an ambiance of sophisticated ease where you and your guests can enjoy an intimate and stress-free environment. City Cruises offers both indoor and outdoor spaces giving flexibility and peace of mind. The soft morning rays can be enjoyed from panoramic windows, creating a warm and welcoming feel. You can soak in the sun on open-air decks, or retreat to the comfort of climate-controlled interiors if the weather shifts. You will capture amazing photos as the sunshine casts a gentle, flattering glow, perfect for the first moments as a married couple. Adding a special twist to a traditional wedding will give attendees something to look forward to and allow the bride and groom to enjoy time with guests. Ending the day’s events early means you and your guests have more time for post-wedding activities or to begin your honeymoon earlier!

Savor the Love
Let’s assemble the perfect menu to satisfy everyone’s palate. Brunch culture is a much-loved thing today, so why not bring it out for your wedding? Play around with fun, interactive food stations, made-to-order omelets with a variety of meats and cheeses, and sweets like crepes or fresh fruit. For an early morning fete, caffeine is key! It’s a great time to break out some personal touches with custom stirrers or monogrammed sleeves. Provide lots of different types of coffee, from espressos, and cappuccinos, to lattes and Americanos. Mimosas and Bloody Marys are essential for any brunch wedding and can be customized to create a fun experience for the entire party. Don’t forget to save room for cake or change things up a bit and try a fan-favorite, donuts!
Perfect Tunes for a Perfect Day
Now, let’s move on to entertainment. Soothing background music can create an elegant flair or shake things up with a live DJ to kick things up a notch. This will keep the energy level high and get everyone up and moving. Add your favorite songs to personalize it and let loose and have fun!
Picture-Perfect Décor
Think about décor that will reflect the atmosphere and opt for personal touches. Daytime weddings allow for thoughtful touches to create a warm and inviting setting. The choices are endless for transforming your vision into reality. Brunch weddings allow newlyweds to think outside the traditional box and customize the day for casual elegance with daytime ease. Think wildflowers in mason jars, citrus centerpieces, seasonal flowers, and even coffee and omelet stations as decorations. Keep your guests mingling with each other and have a great time with a photo booth. It feels playful and exciting and gives the guests a keepsake to enjoy post-wedding.
