Who Should I Contact if I want to arrange a Wedding on a Cruise ship?

Answer:
The first order of business is to make sure that the

cruise ship lines you are traveling on will perform cruise weddings, and that a marriage performed at sea will pass all the requirements of law with respect to your home country. Contact the cruise line home office directly, or inquire when booking the cruise through a travel agent.

If you have a go, a wedding performed while docked at port will need specific paperwork, and this is usually the case whether the wedding takes place at the point of departure, or somewhere along the way. Once given the green light, you can also decide to have the marriage performed on the ship itself, or you exchange vows on a beach, or in a chapel on land. Plan ahead and obtain a marriage license for the dock location where the marriage will be performed.

The next order of business is to consider the full range of available options: packages should fit comfortably into your overall vacation budget. If flower arrangements, photographers, and music are a part of your wedding package, make sure you consult with the ship's wedding consultant so the arrangements will function smoothly.

You should contact the cruise line's main customer service department to get contact information for their wedding services planner. Almost all cruise lines have an individual whose specific job function is to plan on-board events such as a Cruise Wedding. This person will have information regarding packages and details about the actual wedding at sea.

The best piece of advice is to take your time shopping around. There are a lot of popular cruise lines out there that might just make this the most memorable time of your life.
