Weddings should be planned for non-peak times and we will need to know the exact time and route so we can alert the crew. Ceremonies are not allowed in the non-public areas of our vessels. Our captains are not legally authorized to perform weddings so plan to arrange for a justice of the peace or pastor to conduct the service.

We recommend small weddings. Larger weddings require reserved space and we cannot guarantee that other, non-invited customers will not inadvertently become part of the wedding party.

Here are some other things to be aware of;

* Outside catering services are not allowed.
* There are no private rooms for clothes changing, etc.
* We do not recommend driving onboard the ferry unless the wedding will be completed by the time the vessel reaches its destination. All vehicles that have boarded a ferry must be driven off once the vessel reaches its final destination.
* If the wedding party has special requests such as using live musicians, electrical power on the ferry, etc., those requests must be made at the time initial arrangements are made with the ferry system.
* Special wedding day photos of the bridal party may not be possible. Ferry crews cannot obstruct pathways for picture taking so bridal pictures may include a photo of a wandering ferry commuter who accidentally gets in your picture.
If you would like more information or would like to make arrangements for your "special event", please call our Aministrative Officer:

Wedding Hairstyle Tips

Great information from TheHairStyler.com Hair Feature

By Katie Summers and Paola Fioramonte, THS Consultants

One of the most important elements of your wedding day is your hairstyle. And to ensure that you get the best results for your wedding hair style, all you have to do is follow a few simple tips.

Start With A Picture

Having a picture of the style that you want is the easiest way to guarantee that you communicate to your stylist what kind of bridal hair it is that you are after and that you get exactly the style that you want.

Plan Around Your Accessories

Planning your wedding hair to complement your accessories (such as an upstyle to show off your necklace and earrings) is the perfect way to add elegance to your wedding style.

Incorporate Your Wedding Flowers Into Your Style

Placing flowers in your hair is a popular and classic wedding hair tip. You can also ask your stylist which hair color will enhance and complement the shade of your flowers.

Have A Wedding Consultation

Talk to your stylist about what hairstyles your hair type and texture can pull off and what you can/may need to do (extensions, etc) to achieve the hairstyle that you want.

Don't Forget All Angles Of Your Hair

It's not just your front section on show, the back and sides of your style needs to be just as perfect. The back of your head, after all, is what most of the guests at your ceremony will see.

Don't Be Afraid To Say What You Do And Don't Like

When planning your wedding hair with your stylist, don't be afraid to tell them if you don't like the style they've suggested or the way something is done. This is your day after all and your hair should look exactly how you want it to. If your stylist does, however, have some good advice, it's worth taking on board.

Ensure It's Weather Proof

There's nothing worse than having your hair styled into your perfect look only to have it fall flat due to the weather. Avoid problems by selecting a style suitable for the location and season that your wedding takes place.

Match To The Theme

Match your hairstyle to the theme of your wedding. An elegant wedding deserves elegant hair, while a casual affair will suit a casual hairstyle such as chic, glossy curls.

Trial Your Hair With Your Dress

The best way to see if your bridal style will suit you and your beautiful wedding dress is to do your hair similar to the way that you want it styled when having your dress fitting. This way you can see if your hair is the perfect match for your dress.

Now that you know the tips, find your perfect wedding style in our hairstyles library. We have 1,00's of different bridal styles for you to choose from.
