Flagship Cruises & Events

This was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the moment we spoke to Carlie, our sales rep, to the moment we stepped on the California Princess and met Chrissy, everything was so easy and beautiful. We did the catering through Flagship and received so many comments that it was the best wedding food our guests had ever had. The boat was so classy, bar service was super fast, and everything flowed really well. Not a single staff member missed a beat and we truly appreciate everyone at Flagship who made our wedding day so perfect!

The whole experience was amazing! We had our wedding on the California Princess and worked with Cristina V. to plan. It was a destination wedding from several states away with approximately 128 guests. She was so helpful and responsive. Every question we asked she was informative and found a way to make what we wanted happen. The boat was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest had the best time. As a busy bride I didn’t have to worry once about details with the boat. They were so flexible with my constantly changing number of guests right up to only days before. They accommodated high chairs and strollers on board too. What they said the cost would be was exactly what it was and the invoice was very clear and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend Flagship. They used their experience and expertise with weddings and added in our personal touches with no problem and made our wedding absolutely perfect! We chose the 5 hour cruise with served dinner. The ceremony was partly performed by Captain Frank (who did a great job with the vows and rings) and party by our own officiant (who gave the message). The boat was perfectly positioned during the ceremony so even though it was a little windy that day they anchored so it was still and beautiful with the San Diego skyline in the background. The vendors were great to work with also. The cupcakes from Frost Me and the hair (Chelsea Opzeeland) and makeup (Brenda Jacquez) came right to my hotel and did an amazing job as well. All in all it was the best experience we could have hope for!

I don't know where to begin! We were THOROUGHLY impressed with our experience with Flagship. From the Sales Executive, Cristina Vazquez, who met with us on her day off to take us on a tour of the vessels and then she proceeded to answer my every question for the past few months....to the Wedding Planner/Cruise Director, Chrissy Padden, who thought of what we needed before we thought of it...and John and Michelle, and J Dean (DJ)...WOW! Top notch service and a first class experience! We heard unsolicited feedback from many of the guests who attended our wedding about the excellent service! The California Spirit is a gorgeous vessel and my dream wedding was truly dreamy thanks to Flagship! Our food was delicious...and we were treated like celebrities! The ceremony with the backdrop that the Captain made certain to capture with the positioning of the yacht was picture perfect! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We had our August wedding reception at the California Princess. We had 80 guests and about half of them came from Texas, it was a great way to give them a unique experience. We love every part of it, from the moment of contacting them to the day of I have nothing but great things to say. We worked with Margie and she is absolutely the best, she is very quick to respond, she was there to answer any questions I had, there were days that I would freak about small details and she made sure to answer all my concerns and questions. We then met Chrissy our day coordinator, she was amazing. We literally did not worry about anything that day. We literally showed up and ENJOYED the best day of our lives. Our guest have given us so many compliments about the place, the service and the food. The boat was clean, the food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly. It was truly amazing and if I had the opportunity to go back I would chose flagship for this day again. It was worth every dollar, if you are looking for a unique place this is your place to go. The views were amazing, and nothing can compare to celebrate the most special day of your life than to cruise around the San Diego Bay area.
