Venue: Niagara Nautico
Carlita and Sean shared a sweet first look together before embarking aboard Black Diamond. Following their beautiful ceremony bathed in golden hour light, they shared a toast to their new beginning along with their closest friends and family. Captain Russ from Niagara Nautico shares with us: "On July 25th, 2024, we hosted our first wedding on the water, fulfilling three years of planning in what turned into an absolutely perfect day with an incredible couple. Carlita and Sean were looking for an affordable but memorable wedding package, something that suited their adventurous personalities while maintaining a level of elegance that was important to both their families. A wedding on board Black Diamond, our comfortable and luxurious sailboat, seemed to tick both boxes, and the young couple engaged us to help plan their wedding in only a few weeks. We all worked together to curate a unique wedding day. Part of our planning had to involve backup strategies in case of bad weather, but thankfully those plans didn’t end up being necessary. The day ended up perfect – clear skies, mid-twenties, a light breeze, and a gorgeous sunset – and Carlita and Sean’s ceremony was pure magic. Words simply can’t do it justice."
