Why Not a Cruise Ship Wedding?
Sounds romantic — but the reality is often disappointing. Here's what couples can't find out until it's too late.
Cutter packages with little customization. You're paying for convenience, not quality.
Vendor restrictions, and port schedules make planning a nightmare.
Experience thousands of other couples got. Your wedding should be unique.
Why Miami Instead?
Get married on land in one of the most beautiful cities in the world — and still enjoy your cruise.

When my husband and I first decided to have a pre-cruise wedding ceremony on Miami Beach I felt overwhelmed trying to plan the event from out of state. When I first made contact with Gen Martinez at 'Small Miami Weddings' she assured me from the start that she would take care of everything in order to provide me with both a stress free and beautiful ceremony-and she was right! We had our 35-person wedding ceremony on-site at The Raleigh Hotel and everything was picture perfect. Gen was quick to respond and offered me suggestions to make the ceremony both beautiful and unforgettable. The ceremony flowers were absolutely gorgeous (coral & white roses), the five table centerpieces were beautiful as well and the cello player was very good. The officiant, Melissa, also did a great job with the ceremony. My guests loved everything about the ceremony as well.
I would strongly recommend 'Small Miami Weddings' to anyone who is looking to have a beautiful beach ceremony in the area.
