Types of Wedding-Related Events with City Cruises in Norfolk

A wedding brings two people, their family, and friends together. There are several wedding-related events where everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the journey together—especially when you book with City Cruises. It all begins with engagement party cruises that put guests in a good mood with their festive atmosphere and romantic ambiance. When brides want quality time with their girlfriends, bridal showers take center stage. These gatherings can be intimate, stylish, and customized with specific décor and themes. Rehearsal dinners become a relaxing, night-before-wedding occasion. Of course, wedding ceremonies and receptions make for unique events onboard one of our vessels. To top off the wedding journey, there’s the increasingly popular post-wedding brunch where brides, grooms, and guests can kick back and relax in a leisurely atmosphere complete with sensational scenic views before everyone heads home.
