“We did our wedding reception on destiny cruises. We did a 3 hour boat ride (It was not long enough). Michele was very gracious with all my questions and made sure our day was perfect. Captain Jay is very knowledgeable about the lake. He is also great with people and children! His wife works on the boat as well, she is also amazing. All of our guests loved the boat ride. They thought it was an amazing venue. Before we chose Destiny Cruises, I called about 20 venues. This was the most affordable for our group size. I personally think this was the best decision. We had perfect weather and a perfect night. Thank you Destiny Cruises!”

“Thank you very much. We thought you were great, the decorating was absolutely stunning and the boat is awesome. The bartenders upstairs; the 2 guys went above and beyond for us. They were so professional, and nice if you could let them know that. We are very happy everyone had a fantastic night! It was definitely a magical day!”

“I can’t thank you and your crew enough for making our day so special. I was so speechless when I came aboard – the boat was decorated so beautifully and you took my breath away! Everyone is still talking about the cruise today and how much fun everyone had. Everyone thought the boat as a venue was such a cool and unique decision. Everyone talked about how nice you and the crew were and how handsome Captain Jay was.”
