I was being polite and kind and told her that I could not understand and she hung up on me. I called back and she did not answer our call, but allowed it to go to voicemail. This is very horrible as we were looking forward to booking, but now; we will be looking elsewhere. Very sad as New York has so much meaning to my husband and I and now I have to look elsewhere. And I hope I don't get a response met with," the phone broke up or lost of service! " as she could of called me back and she didn't!!!!!! Horrible vendor

George and his staff did an excellent job at our wedding reception last weekend. They played just about every song on our playlist, blended traditional Greek with 80s, and kept the party going with their own selections, as well, by feeling out the vibe of our guests and keeping them on the dance floor.

From the first phone call, to the meetings, to the last handshake at the end of the wedding - we experienced nothing but professionalism and courteousness. We were extremely pleased with the DJ and the music played (all of my musical requests were fulfilled), our exciting MC, and the beautiful lighting provided which truly made the reception feel magical! Also worth nothing, their setup is a showpiece on its own. You will not see one piece of equipment and it will enhance your decor. Also, all of our guests complimented their services. Most importantly, all of our expectations were surpassed. We highly recommend George and his staff for any event. Our deepest gratitude for everything George!!

From the very beginning, my husband Harris and I knew we were in great hands with Aretha. She was…read moreincredibly diligent and thoughtful in getting to know us--our backgrounds, our love story, and most importantly, our vision for the big day. Aretha truly listened and made sure every detail we hoped for was respected and seamlessly incorporated into the ceremony. Her guidance throughout the process was clear, calm, and always reassuring. Aretha made herself available for any questions or concerns, and her professionalism and warmth never wavered. On the day of our wedding, she executed everything flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautifully Aretha led the ceremony. She told our story with such heart and authenticity--it felt personal, intentional, and unforgettable. Working with Aretha was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we are so grateful she was such an important part of our day.

Aretha was the best choice we could have made for an officiant. The two of us have been to many…read moreweddings and have witnessed some not so great ceremonies so finding an incredible officiant was very important to us and that is exactly what we did! From our introduction call she was nothing but professional, polite, informative and overall just a very down to earth person. After our initial call, we both felt that she was the perfect match for us. There were a lot of aspects around the planning of the ceremony that we were unsure of and Aretha took her time informing us of what is traditionally done versus what we could do to match our own style. Unlike other officitants, Aretha is very involved in the planning process, ensuring that we fill out questionnaires to ensure that every part of our ceremony was personalized. She took our story and told them in her own unique way. We loved that she emphasized the importance of a rehearsal which ultimately led us to booking her for that as well which we did not regret. Our bridal party absolutely loved how comfortable she made everyone feel (even when dealing with a not so nice venue staff). When we thought we had everything down packed, she made us run through everything one more time just to ensure we looked flawless. My father was extremely nervous but after the rehearsal he was confident in his role and it showed the day of the wedding. During the ceremony, she was so well spoken and told our love story perfectly. Our guests were laughing and crying tears of joy. We got so many compliments on how great Aretha was -everyone wanted to know, "How did you two find her??". I will not be surprised if we go to a friend's wedding and see Aretha walk down that aisle. Thank you so much Aretha! -Mr. and Mrs. Jean Simon

Update: This is how they talk to you: "Ever hear of "BRIDE…read moreFROM HELL"? Here you go! Look at numerous guests and charters that were completely happy. We've only had positive reviews on our company. Thank you Lauren and Graham for the great review. Enough said...." Sorry for trying to make my wedding day perfect. Next time I'll sit back and let you guys do absolutely nothing. DO NOT GET MARRIED ON THIS BOAT. These people are scam artists and do not care about your or your special day, only about money. They will consistantly tell you that they are there to help you and make your day special, and then they will disappear for months at a time. I was constantly calling, texting, emailing them for answers to questions and got nothing in return. They contradict themselves constantly. Captain Rob will tell you one thing and his wife Lezlee will tell you that Rob is wrong and what he promised you really isn't included. ******MAKE SURE YOU DOCUMENT EVERYTHING ROB SAYS FROM THE START.******* (I mean if you still want to choose this boat after this review). You pay for the majority of the wedding up to a month before the wedding, meanwhile they do nothing to help you plan or get anything done. Despite me planning out every detail of what should happen on the day, I got to a month before the wedding unsure about anything from their end. The day of the wedding we started almost an hour late because they hadn't gotten the boat ready (tablecloths weren't ironed, tables not set up, boat not cleaned, etc.) even though we made sure to give them all of the tablecloths 4 days before the wedding and they assured us every thing would be taken care of. They had our guests waiting on the end of the dock, locked out with no information. Luckily I had a family willing to sacrifice spending their day with me getting ready to go make sure the useless staff on the boat (that we paid a fortune extra for) could figure out what they were doing. So we started an hour late, you'd think we'd end an hour late, right? WRONG. The SECOND it turned 1am the lights shot on and everyone was told the party was over. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS BUMPED INTO MY CAKE AND THE MAITRE D TRIED TO SAY THE CAKE WAS DELIVERED THAT WAY!!!! So yes, the top of my cake was squashed. I understand accidents happen, but take accountability for your mistakes and go above and beyond to fix them. You don't lie about them. What is included in the base price for this boat is not enough time wise, and very old decoration wise, so you end up paying a ton for extras, including extra time (you are allotted a 4 hour cruise time.. If we hadn't paid for 2 hours extra beforehand, our cruise would have been over before the last table had eaten. That means no dancing, no cake cutting, no dessert, basically nothing. That is because it took them 2 HOURS to serve our dinner.), linens, decorations, etc. There were so many things that went wrong that I didn't have time to document in this review, but I want to end with the fact that I emailed them all of this information after my wedding was over and they didn't even have the decency to apologize for anything or even respond. They just take your money and move on to the next unsuspecting wedding party. It is my hope that this review helps people get the wedding they deserve, which means STAYING AWAY FROM THIS BOAT. Yes, the views are nice, but for the price you end up paying you can get married ANYWHERE. I'm talking rooftop in NYC, Chart House with the same view, another boat even... Point being, just know what you're getting yourself into if you book with these. They are not good people. As I told them, owning a boat does not make you suitable for accommodating weddings.

Mind you we just moved to Michigan 3 months earlier and therefore wanted to have our wedding back in New Jersey close to our family and friends. After we found our venue we were fortunate enough to get Candice's information from our banquet manager. Candice helped make our day come true. From the first time we talked over to the phone to meeting in person only a month before the wedding it was perfect. Candice helped us through what we really need for a wedding and what type of look we were going for. After talking on the phone and looking over her website I decided why am I going to tell her what to do, she is an artist. At that moment Scott and I asked Candice to take artistic license with our wedding. We showed her things we liked and she knew exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding Candice brought in our bouquets and they were absolutely breathtaking. The colors were so rich; dark red, purple, pink and to top it off there was Kale. My bouquet was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and giving Candice artist license was the best choice I could have ever made. From the flowers around the cocktail room to the reception hall, Candice's vision was beyond what I could have ever imagined. Thank you for making this usually difficult part of a wedding day absolutely effortless. Sincerely, Kelsey and Scott Daingerfield

We worked with Candice for our wedding on January 5, 2019. From the start she was very responsive,…read morehad creative suggestions, and designed beautiful arrangements for us. Initially we provided her with inspiration images correlating to the general idea of what we liked. and she quickly put together a visual digital booklet, personalized and detailed for every aspect of the floral designs we were interested in. Since she had excellent communication and was transparent with pricing, she came up with solutions to better accommodate our budget. We were so happy with her advice and recommendations, so it became an easy decision for us to choose Duchess Florals for our wedding. A few months before the wedding, we had a meeting with Candice to go over everything for our wedding. She's so friendly and personable! We discussed our specific requests regarding color and some flower choices, but we pretty much left the rest of the arrangements up to her. She was very clear of her vision and showed us visuals for everything she proposed, so we were able to finalize our designs at that meeting. It was so easy to work with her, there wasn't much homework or too much need to e-mail back & fourth leading up to the meeting, however if we had a question, she had a fast response time. Before our wedding Candice went above and beyond for us. She scheduled a walk-through with our venue coordinator and took a trip up to our venue, which was pretty distant from her shop. Our coordinator reached out to us and complimented Candice on her inquiries and punctuality. As for her talent, everything on the day of my wedding looked stunning. It was an easy and stress-less experience working with Candice. Duchess Florals was one of our best vendors. We would recommend, and absolutely work with her again!
