| Why Have Your Wedding Aboard The Black-Eyed Susan? A majestic sunset, unprecedented beauty of a terraced skyline, soft breezes, and the excitement associated with a cruise upon the water. These are only some of the magical reasons why people select The Black-Eyed Susan to host one of life's most important events. The Black-Eyed Susan offers a unique and comfortable setting for your wedding. The canopied upper deck is completely open throughout most of the year. Should you decide to take your vows aboard The Black-Eyed Susan, you can provide your own clergy, or if preferred, our Captain is ordained to perform the ceremony. All of your guests can comfortably be seated to watch the pageantry of this wonderful occasion. The Black-Eyed Susan has often been called "The Little Chapel on the Water". For your ceremony aboard The Black-Eyed Susan, your guests will be escorted to the upper deck, while the wedding party is assembled in the Main Salon. When the ceremony begins, you will be led up to the 40 foot aisle to the sounds of your special song or the Wedding March. You may prefer to exchange your vows in one of the magnificent churches or temples that Baltimore is so well known for, and host your reception on The Black-Eyed Susan. Your reception begins with hors d'oeuvres and beverages, followed by outstanding food and service throughout the cruise. Your exquisite customized wedding cake is provided through Patisserie Poupon. At the time of the cake cutting, we present a silver-plated cake knife, as our gift of appreciation, to the Bride and Groom.
