Awarded Best of Zola
We had a small wedding on the Charles Riverboat Company's Valiant, and it was absolutely perfect! Like many couples this year, this was our second attempt at a wedding, and Melissa made it so easy to re-plan our ceremony and reception, all in a month's time. The staff was so accommodating to what we wanted for our celebration while taking all precautions to keep everyone safe - guests are still raving about how great our wedding was! The views of Boston and experience of seeing it at sunset from the water was incredible for both those that live in the area and those traveling from a bit further. We kept looking at each other during the event saying our wedding turned out even better than we originally planned. Thank you for making our amazing day happen and being a true bright spot in 2020!
