When it came to choosing a wedding venue, the bride and groom searched for waterfront location that didn't involve sand.

“My husband loved the beach, but I hated the sand, so my father had the great idea of a yacht!” Victoria gushed.

The couple, who met during United States Army basic training in Oklahoma, chose Clearwater wedding venue the Yacht Sensation to host their guests in a unique and cozy environment.

“We wanted something intimate, but fun. Not too serious, but serious enough,” Victoria explained. “The Yacht Sensation was gorgeous and the perfect size. The DJ, dance floor and food were all included in the final price. It made everything very simple. I loved their service. They made sure everything went perfect and that I had everything I needed at all times.”

Navy and Gold Waterfront Tampa Wedding | Yacht Starship Wedding

Denise and Tommy's waterfront Tampa wedding featured bold colors of navy accented with antique gold and English traditions.

“My husband's family lives in Tampa, as do we, but my family all lives in England,” the bride explained. “Our theme was Tommy and Den tie the knot. There was a lot of detail to the decoration, but the wedding itself was fun and relaxed.”

The pair said their “I do's” just steps from their home in Channelside aboard waterfront wedding venue the Yacht Starship.

“We chose to enjoy the Florida sunshine and beautiful weather and selected the Yacht Starship as it is located in our neighborhood,” Denise shared. “We wanted a one-stop shop where things were taken care of in one place. The service was great. [The venue] really took care of the details and helped us think of things we had not considered for our wedding day.
