$5k can make your yacht wedding happen in San Diego
You've come here because you're dreaming of a yacht wedding in San Diego, but you're worried about the costs, or you've read our previous blogs on general ideas and expenses so you'd like to see how those ideas can be implemented.
Let's see how we can build on those cost-saving insights and see how we can turn them into a practical and clear estimate for a roughly $5000 yacht wedding.
- First, let's look at the most significant expense - the yacht. You can find a beautiful yacht with a capacity of approximately 30 people, which will cost you around $550 an hour. If booked for 5 hours, which is more than enough time for the ceremony and reception, that's just $2750.
- When it comes to food and drinks, you can find great deals offered through vendor partners at reduced prices, at prices as low as $50 per person, which will bring a total of $1500. You can achieve this by opting for simpler menus like buffet-style meals or cocktail receptions.
- The views can easily substitute any fancy and pricey decor. $500 is what you need to inspire your wedding with just enough elegance and personality that represent your love story.
- As for the music, most yachts have built-in sound systems, so you can skip the DJ and use your personally curated playlists and get full control over the vibe of your wedding.
These estimates total $4,750 for your wedding! The final numbers can go even lower if you choose a yacht with a smaller capacity and book a 4-hour wedding. With a 4-hour booking and a guest list of a little less than 30 people, you can expect these costs to be around $4000.
Connect with San Diego Bay Cruises and find affordability
The truth is there are many options available, but San Diego can be a very expensive place due to its reputation as a top wedding location, which drives up the demand for services. Many places charge high simply because of the area's brand image, and you will likely encounter the high prices right upon your initial search, which can be discouraging.
San Diego Bay Cruises can make this process less tiring and time-consuming by connecting you with affordable yacht venues through its managed private yacht network, as well as catering, decor, and entertainment options, all of which can help you stay within the $5k figure.
