The Beginning

Our Story

Every great voyage begins with a single, perfect moment.

We're Ethan and Lauryn — and we decided early on that we didn't want an ordinary wedding. We wanted the people we love most gathered close, the Boston skyline glittering at dusk, and the open water beneath us.

So we chartered the Valiant, a classic 1920s yacht, and we're setting sail across Boston Harbor to celebrate the start of our life together.

No assigned pews. No long ceremonies. Just one unforgettable evening on the water with the people who got us here. We can't wait to share it with you.

The Celebration

The Valiant, a classic 1920s motor yacht

Aboard the Valiant

A classic 1920s, 97-foot motor yacht — the most elegant vessel on Boston Harbor. We'll cruise the harbor at golden hour for an open bar, premium passed hors d'oeuvres, and dancing under the stars.

  • 97′ classic motor yacht, hosting our nearest & dearest
  • Open bar all evening — two full-service bars, premium pours
  • Premium passed hors d'oeuvres (no seated dinner)
  • Open-air upper canopy deck for cocktails & dancing
  • Heated, enclosed salon if the harbor breeze turns cool

Be Prompt

Please arrive by 6:30 PM. The Valiant departs promptly at 7:00 and, like any ship, cannot wait for latecomers — once we sail, we sail.

Dress Code

Cocktail / dressy. We suggest flats or block heels for the deck, and a light layer for the open-air upper deck after sunset.

Food & Drink

An open bar and premium passed hors d'oeuvres all evening — there's no seated dinner, so you may want a proper meal beforehand. Just bring yourselves and your dancing shoes.
