Boat Wedding

We had an absolutely amazing time during our small wedding on the Wejack! (Captain Jeff even officiated, which was super cool!) Jeff and Barbara took great care to coordinate the food and drinks on board, and had great vendor suggestions for our planning. They let us come out and see the boat beforehand, and were super flexible with all our plans. The boat was a blast, and we and our guests all had such a great time. We truly could not have asked for a better experience.
