Destination Weddings & Receptions Aboard  the Lord Sheffield

The Lord Sheffield is simply the most romantic venue available in St Maarten to conduct your marriage ceremony or reception.

Imagine the Lord Sheffield with all sails set sailing into the sunset while you exchange or renew your vows. Once the ceremony is complete the Lord Sheffield turns into a great place for a reception. Keep sailing, or anchor off a beach.... its all up to you.

Wedding Ceremony Lord Sheffield St Maarten

Over the last four years and several weddings we have developed a sense of what works for a Sheffield wedding.  With this knowledge we can help to make your wedding stress free, romantic and fun.

First of all we strongly recommend that you leave the "legal" part of the marriage to the civil authorities at home and have the ceremony and celebration in St Maarten.  This eliminates a lot of paper work, cost  and preparation.  

 If you feel that the legal part of the ceremony is important please see the links below for more information.

The typical wedding ceremony begins at 2:00 PM where the bride and groom and guests boardWeddings on the Lord Sheffield St Maarten the vessel.  2:00 PM is a good time because the sun is starting to get a little lower in the sky.   The Sheffield then sets sail and under sail proceeds down the coast to one of several lovely anchorages. 

Along the way you have the option of the Sheffield crew providing drinks (alcoholic or non - alcoholic) or food and snacks... all included in the price.

Then the Lord Sheffield will anchor and prepare for the ceremony with the bridal party  at the bow and the guest seated aft on and around the main cabin.  The captain of the Sheffield can officiate the ceremony if required. 

After the ceremony, the reception can start immediately with swimming, dancing, food, drinks etc.  Watch the sunset on the anchor and then motor home under the stars.
