Hornblower Cruises & Events, Newport Beach

Description

The sparkling Newport Beach Harbor is an inspiring backdrop for any wedding, and there is no better way to cruise these waters than on one of Hornblower’s luxury private yachts. By combining this romantic setting with fine cuisine and attentive service, they really can make you feel like Cinderella for a day.

Hornblower’s yachts range from classic to contemporary, and accommodate an intimate group of twenty to a celebratory bash of 550. One of their historic vessels, the Wild Goose, was formerly owned by John Wayne and retains much of its original feel and custom furnishings. Because of his height, the ceilings of all the salons are unusually high and there’s a roominess you don’t often find on sailing vessels. Rooms feature rich wood paneling, beamed ceilings, carved wood pillars, built-in bars, brass nautical fixtures, and lots of artwork on the walls. Tie the knot in the Grand Salon, where brides love to make their entrance down the curved staircase, or on the bow for an outdoor ceremony. The fireplace room, library, and master bedroom are elegant, yet cozy, and serve as private changing areas or sitting rooms for your guests.

Mojo has long been one of the most popular charter vessels in Southern California. An elegant, 100-foot custom-designed Ditmar-Donaldson motor yacht, she’s outfitted with luxurious amenities: a spacious enclosed upper deck available for dining; a plush main salon including a full bar; three contemporary staterooms and a generous forward open bow.

Entertainer is Hornblower’s 145-foot flagship. She boasts two large, fully enclosed decks, each with a full bar and dance floor. With a full galley, high-quality sound system, and open-air lounge deck, she can accommodate 408 guests for seated dining or 550 for cocktails and a buffet. The aft deck provides a “back porch,” additional deck space for guests who want to take in the sea air or dance under the stars!

Hornblower’s professional and experienced wedding planners can handle every detail of your celebration. They’ll also take the stress out of other events, such as rehearsal dinners and engagement, anniversary, and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
