So you are getting married: you have met the love of your life and they feel the same way about you.  You want your wedding ceremony to be memorable and you have seen wedding cruises advertised on the Internet.  The first image that may come to mind is a large cruise ship sailing somewhere exotic where you can be married on a tropical beach.  This might be fine for some, but have you considered a Northwest-style wedding cruise? 

The Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge Offers Wedding Cruises

Imagine cruising in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge that separates Oregon from Washington with several of your dear friends and family sharing in the most special day of your life so far.  The Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge offers several types of wedding cruises and they have been doing so for years, so you can be assured that they know how to make your special day even more perfect.

Have an Island Wedding

The Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge offers a variety of unique settings for your wedding event.  You can be married prior to boarding the boat, while you are on the cruise or after you reach a private spot on one of the islands in the Columbia River.  Also, they can be as involved as you want them to be in planning the event. They can host the reception, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, and several other events that surround the big day.

One of the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge’s several wedding cruises takes you to Thunder Island where you can have a ceremony as private as you want it to be. If you are considering a little more intimate ceremony, consider having the riverboat captain perform the ceremony in the wheelhouse of the sternwheeler.  Or maybe you would prefer to be married in Marine Park before boarding the Columbia Gorge for one of several options for wedding cruises.

Why Go to Vegas to Get Hitched?

Maybe you aren’t the type to plan every detail of your wedding for months and months.  If you are bit more spontaneous, the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge can accommodate you as well.  There is no need to go to Vegas to the Drive-Thru Chapel of Love to tie the knot.  The riverboat captain will perform a wedding ceremony on any scheduled cruise.  You can even bring up to 10 friends and family with you.  As far as wedding cruises go, a turn on the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge can be spontaneous, romantic and sure to never be forgotten by anyone who witnesses it.
