Why Choose City Cruises for a San Francisco Engagement Party
With exquisite waterside views, San Francisco is a picture-perfect setting for celebratory events such as an engagement party. Since couples want the official introduction of their new lives together to be memorable, hosting their guests on the water sends a message. That message will be a one-of-a-kind scenic experience for everyone onboard as they see up-close panoramic views of the city’s landmark attractions. Not to mention, City Cruises’ vessels travel underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, which is quite the experience. So whether the setting is intimate and romantic or large and more festive, our event coordinators offer customizable options to fit any theme or preference.
Planning Your Engagement Party with City Cruises
Attending events is always a fun experience—it’s the planning part that can be less than enjoyable. Depending on the size, style, budget, and desired amenities, it can be challenging for couples to obtain everything they need and want in one venue. In addition, making sure it’s unique can be a hurdle as well. That’s precisely why so many brides and grooms book with City Cruises. Our expert staff helps clients select the perfect cruise package and provides customization options for décor, themes, food, beverages, and entertainment. From brunch and lunch cruises to sunset cocktail soirees and sit-down plated dinners, couples will discover the options available starting with a visit to our San Francisco Wedding Events page.
Wedding-Related Event Venue Highlights
City Cruises operates a fleet of vessels, some of the largest and most luxurious in class. Our boats are the perfect surroundings for celebrating something special. As people Explore Our San Francisco Fleet, they will find a wealth of desirable amenities and features, including climate-controlled interiors and open-air exterior decks. Our boats also include dance floors, entertainment facilities, dining, and bar services onboard. While we’re partial to sunset cruises because the golden hour near the Golden Gate Bridge is simply awe-inspiring, our team acknowledges that daytime engagement parties under sunny skies and evening events among the stars are just as dreamy.
Catering and Menu Options
What comes to mind when you look back on events you loved? We have a feeling that exceptional food and beverages played a part since it’s hard to forget enticing entrees and delectable cocktails. City Cruises knows how vital these amenities are. We offer a range of catering options bound to impress, including chef-prepared buffets, plated meals, and hors d’oeuvres made with the freshest ingredients. We also offer beverage packages with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to pair with each menu. Dishes can be customized to fit dietary preferences and requirements to meet every guest’s needs. Whether gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian, our staff will offer appetizing options for everyone onboard.
Entertainment and Activities
Aside from food and beverages, entertainment and activities are second on the list of ways to ensure a memorable event. To set the right sonic mood for an engagement party, couples can choose from live music and DJ services. Interactive activities and games are also an option to bring guests together and break the ice between families and friends. Since couples will want to capture each and every special moment of their event, photography and videography are enhancements we are happy to help with.
