Winners represent the top one percent of reviews from recently married couples. This is the sixth consecutive year SunQuest Cruises’ SOLARIS has been selected for the prize.
“This award is significant to us because it’s a direct result of reviews from our recent brides and grooms,” said James Murray, General Manager for SOLARIS. “We take great pride in providing our couples with the most valuable, stress-free and memorable wedding experience.”
The 2015 “Best of Weddings” award recipients represent the best and the most-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples, their families and wedding guests on The Knot. This year, a select group of 5,500 local wedding professionals – representing two percent of Knot wedding professionals – received the distinguished accolade.
As the area’s only dining and entertainment yacht, the SOLARIS was built specifically with weddings in mind. All wedding packages include a full-time event planner, who has worked with couples from across the country from planning to the execution. The open-air, sky deck features a bridal platform where couples can say their vows in a private, majestic setting while cruising into the sunset and enjoying breathtaking views. Brides enjoy the bridal suite as a secluded, serene space to enjoy with friends and family before the big moment. The 125-foot yacht includes three decks of indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a weather-proof venue.
The SOLARIS’ ideal location at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort provides couples with a convenient, all-inclusive experience for them and their guests that includes a variety of accommodation, transportation and entertainment options in one location.
“Our wedding planner Kristi and the staff at the Solaris were amazing starting from day one. I never had to stress about my venue or their vendors,” wrote the Macdonnells on theknot.com. “The staff at the Solaris knew what I wanted better than I did. I explained my ideas and they made it work. I can’t rave enough about it. I had a memorable, beautiful, amazing wedding and the Solaris team made it happen.”
In addition to its availability for weddings, the SOLARIS hosts special events throughout the year, including their upcoming romantic Valentine’s Day Cruises.
On Friday, February 13, enjoy a special moonlit cruise from 7 to 10 p.m., or on Valentine’s Day on Saturday, book a sunset dinner cruise from 5:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Guests will embark on a romantic and memorable evening that includes a three-hour cruise, three-course seated dinner, live entertainment and premium champagne packages.
