Scenic Lake San Marcos Gondola Wedding Experience

A wedding on a boat in San Diego, CA begins with a Venetian gondola. Your private gondola will tour you around beautiful Lake San Marcos. Lake San Marcos is nestled in the northern hills of San Diego County. It is not far from the city, but you will feel like you escaped to another country once you board the gondola. On the water and shore, visitors will see white and black swans along with other birds and wildlife.

Gondolas, Imported from Venice

The crew will prepare the boat for the bride and groom. The staff will lay flowers and garlands across the bow, and the interior will be cozy and comfortable. The crew members will be appropriately dressed and ready to make the event memorable.

Intimate Ceremony

The official, master gondolier, and bride and groom will be the only ones on the boat, but other family members can join alongside them in their own gondolas. When it is time to perform the ceremony, the driver will stop, and family members and friends can cruise up alongside and watch.
