Why You Should Choose a Brunch Wedding in Boston?

Boston is a beautiful city known for its historic charm and scenic waterfront. People travel from far and wide to explore the Boston Harbor and its landmarks. The city offers a plethora of beautiful venues and vibrant neighborhoods that make it perfect for a brunch wedding. Its classic architecture provides a picturesque backdrop for any event. Boston’s waterfront areas, such as the Seaport District or Charlestown Navy Yard, display stunning views of the harbor. Hosting your wedding by the water adds a romantic, serene atmosphere, ideal for an early morning celebration.

A brunch wedding can be more budget-friendly than a traditional evening wedding. Daytime events typically have lower venue fees, reduced catering costs, and a more relaxed dress code, which will help save on your wedding budget.

Choosing the Perfect Brunch Wedding Venue

When hosting a brunch wedding in Boston, selecting the right venue is key. The area is home to numerous historic mansions and estates that provide a beautiful backdrop. Nothing compares to sailing on the water, cruising the Boston Harbor on your yacht!

Consider hosting your brunch wedding aboard a City Cruises vessel. You can celebrate with panoramic views of the Boston skyline while enjoying a delicious brunch buffet, making for an unforgettable experience.

What Makes City Cruises the Ideal Setting in Boston?

A City Cruises wedding inspires romance, adventure, and luxury to your special day. Imagine saying “I do” on the deck of a luxurious vessel, surrounded by panoramic views of the Boston skyline and harbor. The perspective of being on the water offers unparalleled views that add a magical touch to your ceremony and reception. Yes, we said ceremony and reception because we can do it all. You can hold your ceremony, reception, and even a cocktail hour on board, eliminating the need for multiple venues and transportation logistics. This convenience allows you and your guests to relax and fully enjoy the celebration.

We offer a range of customizable wedding packages to suit different styles, sizes, and budgets. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, you can personalize your event with tailored decor, menu options, and entertainment. Most importantly, with an experienced team of event coordinators, you can rest assured that all the details, from the ceremony setup to catering and entertainment, will be taken care of. This allows you to focus on enjoying your day, knowing that your special moment is in the hands of professionals.

Creating the Perfect Brunch Menu for Your Wedding

A brunch wedding allows for a playful and diverse menu that blends sweet and savory flavors. Guests will love the options between traditional breakfast items and classic lunch items. Spice things up with an omelet station or a pancake and waffle bar, adding an interactive element to the meal.

It wouldn’t be a Boston event without fresh seafood. Incorporate some of Boston’s famous seafood dishes, such as lobster Benedict, crab cakes, smoked salmon bagels, lobster rolls, and clam chowder shooters. Dessert stations are also popular, and putting a brunch twist on it can be fun. Treat your guests to an assortment of freshly baked pastries, such as croissants, scones, muffins, and Danish pastries. Go all in with a donut wall (or should we say Dunkin’ wall? It is Boston, after all)!

You can elevate your brunch with a beverage station featuring mimosas, Bloody Marys, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. You have the option of a full bar onboard, so you can have a range of juices and flavored syrups to create custom cocktails and mocktails for your guests. Another fun and interactive option is a fresh fruit smoothie bar!

Selecting the Perfect Vessel for Your Wedding

City Cruises Boston offers several vessels, each with its own charm and features. When choosing the perfect floating venue for your brunch wedding, consider the size of your guest list, your style preferences, and the ambiance you wish to create. Here are a few options to consider:

• Spirit of Boston – A popular choice for weddings, this spacious and modern yacht features multiple decks, a dance floor, and panoramic windows, allowing guests to enjoy spectacular views from any angle.
• Boston Odyssey – For an upscale and elegant experience, consider the Boston Odyssey. This luxury vessel offers glass-enclosed decks and chic decor, making it ideal for a more intimate and sophisticated wedding.
• Boston Elite – If you prefer a smaller, more intimate gathering, the Boston Elite is a fantastic choice. This private yacht offers a cozy yet stylish setting for a more personalized experience.

Logistics and Timing Tips for a Successful Brunch Wedding

• Start Time – Aim for a ceremony around 10:00 or 11:00 am to allow enough time to get ready in the morning without feeling rushed. This allows ample time for a relaxed brunch and cruising experience while ending early enough for guests to enjoy the rest of their day.
• Weather Considerations – While our vessels are equipped for all weather conditions, having a backup plan for outdoor elements is always a good idea. Ensure your guests are aware of potential weather changes and suggest appropriate attire.
• Transportation and Parking – Provide attendees with clear instructions on parking or transportation. Consider a shuttle service from a central location to make it easy for guests to reach the venue’s departure point.
• End on a High Note – The celebration will wrap up earlier than a traditional wedding, so consider offering guests optional activities. Some fun ideas include a group visit to a local museum, a guided walking tour of Boston, or an after-party at a local pub.
