Please let me know how everything goes as I will be having the same thing for my reception. Have a wonderfull happy day

Hi there!

Having our reception on the boat was great! Everyone loved it! It was moving the whole time. We went with Tin pan galley for our catering and the food was amazing!
If you have any questions let me know!

Awesome, I'm so glad everything went well for you. I think we are having Mullin's Catering for the food. I'm still trying to figure out for someone for make up and hair since I'm not from the area. Any suggestions.

Congrats on the wedding :)

Thank you!

I found this lady online to do makeup. Her name is Heather Speir

For hair I was lucky to have a family member that does hair. I'm sure if you search online you will be able to find someone who is nearby. Try Watertown area if anything as its about 40 mins from Alexandria bay, NY if you can have them come to your room. Where will you be staying? Are you getting married at Boldt Castle?

Have fun planning!

Awesome and thank you so much for the information. I think we might be trying at the capt thomson's resort and or the riveredge resort or possible thinking about renting a house. We want to do something maybe as we go up there every year for a mini getaway. Yes, we are getting married at the Boldt Castle.

We stayed at the capt thomsons resort and I'm glad we did. It's near the dock and easy to get to. I got all the wedding party to stay there too. We had to book the rooms far advance as the rooms get booked up quickly! About 5 mths ahead at least. I got the room with the castle view and it was beautiful. They also have a swimming pool so tell everyone to pack their swimsuits. Nice to cool down if you arrive early and the guys can swim while you ladies get ready:)
I know one guest stayed at riveredge and she said its really nice but Im happy with where we stayed and had no complaints. Actually the only complaint was that they don't provide breakfast and they would suggest Riley's which is pricey.
Let me know if you like a suggestion where to have your dinner rehearsal as well.

Thank you so much for all the great information :) I think we will probably stay at the capt thomsons resort as well I love the views there.

I'm not sure about the whole rehearsal stuff yet. I know we were told not to do the "rehearsal" at the castle. I think all the guys are going golfing and or fish charter the day before the wedding, still working on all the details.

What did you end up doing for decorations on the boat?

We did a rehearsal at the castle so everyone knows what to do on your wedding day and also in case if it rains they show you where it will be and such. We did our dinner rehearsal afterwards at a pizza restaurant.

I didn't do much for decorations. I brought my own centrepieces. I did a fairytale theme. I had carriages with fake flowers in it. Similar to the one in the picture I just attached. I had castle bookmarks as favors.http://www.favorsbyserendipity.com/bookmark-favors/castle-bookmarks.html

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for all your help. I love your centerpiece absolutely beautiful.
