Imagine you and your loved ones aboard one of the Empress Events yachts underneath blue skies, the Golden Gate Bridge surrounded by sparkling waters of the Bay sharing this special day together. A San Francisco outdoor wedding on a yacht provides beautiful scenic views of the bay. A boat wedding is the perfect way to show your out-of-town guests how beautiful life on the SF Bay can be.

We have the best crew, captains, food, and our guests have the most fun. Come down to meet us - you’ll agree. Empress Events operates 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, so it doesn’t matter what time or date, we can arrange your perfect day, any day, any time.

Our fine dining chef can help you create a wonderful wedding reception with the perfect menu; our professional staff includes experienced bartenders to keep the libations flowing ("Shirley Temples"; too!); and our friendly Captain Gerry Robertson performs the wedding ceremony for you, in one of the most romantic ways to be married yet. Our services don’t stop there, the professional photographer can capture priceless wedding photos (how can he help it with your guests against the gorgeous San Francisco Bay as a backdrop!) and our sound system, capability for live music and above & beyond staff will work to make this day go off without a hitch!

We have three professional wedding planners to ensure you enjoy the elegant and personal wedding you’re dreaming of. Your treasured pet is welcome on board and in your service. We offer free parking and handicapped access at our Sausalito location. For your convenience, we offer service from four ports on the San Francisco Bay.
