Marcia and her team at the Marriott helped make our day amazing! She was very patient with us and our multiple changes along the way. The chef, bartenders, servers, and everyone in between did a lovely job at both our welcome event and our reception. While some communication was difficult along the way, Marcia really prioritized us in the couple weeks leading up to the wedding. If we could redo, we would have our wedding here again.

Set sail with Waterfront Cruises, a yacht venue hosting weddings on one of two boats in the Lake George, New York area. Couples looking for a waterfront wedding can't get much closer to the water than aboard one of these ships, which have space for ceremonies and dining alike. These venues set sail from the southern shores of Lake George, conveniently located right off of I-87. Facilities and Capacity Couples can choose to celebrate their special day on one of two boats, which can hold as many as 400 guests. The Horicon, Waterfront Cruises’ wooden yacht stretching an impressive 85 feet long, shines with two glass-enclosed decks. The larger boat, the Adirondac, is a 115 luxury cruise ship trimmed with mahogany and cedar along all three decks and modeled after late 19th century touring ships. For couples seeking a waterfront venue but not quite sure of their sea legs, the Restaurant’s private deck hosts smaller and more intimate affairs.
