“We live in San Francisco and I am also an event planner. It is harder to book and plan when you don’t live or are familiar with the city or venue. We
had a phenomenal wedding. Our coordinator was so helpful. We could not have had the ’brag about’ wedding if it wasn’t for everyone.
I HIGHLY recommend this venue. I give it this many stars: **********” [knot.com review from July 2013 wedding]

“I asked a million quesons and she answered all of them with very detailed answers. She made this much easier to plan from a different state.
I was a bit worried about how this would pan out, trying to do all of this from Houston, but she really eased my mind. I was so excited to have her
part of my wedding planning.” [quote from Fall 2013 SOLARIS bride]

main deck. This all in one concept is amazing! Kudos to the SOLARIS staff. We were so well a4ended by our wedding coordinator. A special thank you

The Captain
Being married by a captain holds a
certain nostalgic, romanc appeal.
For years, Captain Rick has had the
honor of officiang SOLARIS
weddings. His charming demeanor
makes you forget he’s not
part of the family.
“We got married on the top deck of the yacht at sunset with the recepon immediately following downstairs—so easy. We also stayed at the resort
where the SOLARIS is docked, Sandesn, which was very convenient. It was a unique experience for my guests, many of whom have never been to this
area of Florida. I would absolutely recommend this recepon.” [quote from April 2011 SOLARIS bride]
Your Reception | The Sky’s the Limit
The SOLARIS Offers 3 Decks of Indoor & Outdoor Fun
“Every detail from the décor to the sequence of events was exactly as we requested. Golf carts were provided to transport the wedding party and
guests. Our guests are sll talking about what a great me they had—from cocktails to sparkler send-off. For a desnaon wedding, you want to
provide your guests with the best experience and the SOLARIS delivered. If you are seeking a venue that will work with your me schedule, ideas and

“All of our guests were from out of state and thought that having our wedding and recep on on a yacht was luxurious. Having everything in one
venue was important to us and with our coordinator’s help, it happened. Highly recommend them. It’s different and fun.
Plus if it rains, unlike if you get married on a beach, they can put the ceremony down stairs.”
