Common Questions

Q: May we do a rehearsal of the ceremony?
A: Your ceremony cost does include a 30-minute rehearsal. Rehearsal time must be scheduled at least two weeks prior to the event. The rehearsal will be based upon the availability of the boat. If additional rehearsal time is needed, it will be billed at a rate of $50 per additional 1/2 hour. We do ask that you only bring members of the wedding party aboard the boat for the rehearsal.

Q: What cake flavors can I choose from?
A: We offer a nice selection of cake flavors, fillings and frostings with our packages. Other cakes are available, please call for details.
Q: May we have a unity candle in our ceremony?
A: We are not allowed to have an open flame aboard the boat, therefore unity candles are not permitted. Unity Sand Ceremonies have become a very popular choice among Vista Fleet couples.
Q: What if we would like to substitute different flowers, or purchase additional flowers for our package?
A: For any substitutions or additions, please call our sales manager at 218-529-8705.
