Are you dreaming of a unique and romantic wedding in Amsterdam? A wedding on a salon boat combines an official wedding ceremony with an unforgettable cruise through the historic heart of the city.

At Private Boat Tours, we host weddings aboard our classic salon boats. Our boats are officially designated wedding venues, making it possible to hold your legally recognised wedding ceremony on board.

As you cruise through Amsterdam with your family and friends, historic bridges, monumental canal houses and the city's famous waterways become the backdrop to your wedding day.

From an intimate ceremony to a complete wedding experience with a reception, dinner and celebratory canal cruise, your Amsterdam boat wedding can be tailored entirely to your wishes.

A Unique Wedding on a Historic Salon Boat

A classic salon boat offers an elegant and atmospheric setting for your wedding. Its authentic character, comfortable interior and ever-changing views make your wedding day truly memorable.

Unlike a traditional wedding venue, the setting changes continuously as you cruise through Amsterdam.

You sail past characteristic canal houses, historic bridges and some of the city's most beautiful locations. This means that not only the ceremony, but the entire boat journey becomes part of your wedding celebration.

Whether you are planning a small and intimate ceremony or a larger celebration with family and friends, we are happy to help you create a wedding experience that suits you.

A wedding boat in Amsterdam can include:

• an official wedding ceremony on board;

• a champagne reception;

• a celebratory toast;

• lunch or dinner;

• luxury snacks and drinks;

• a relaxed canal cruise through Amsterdam;

• a festive boat cruise after the ceremony.
  
  

An Official Wedding Venue in Amsterdam

Would you like to get married on a boat in Amsterdam?

Our salon boats are officially designated as wedding venues. This means that, subject to the applicable requirements and arrangements with the relevant Amsterdam authorities, your wedding ceremony can take place legally on board.

One of the great advantages is that you do not have to change locations after the ceremony. You and your guests can remain on board and immediately continue celebrating while cruising through Amsterdam.

This creates a relaxed flow to your wedding day and gives you more time to enjoy the occasion with your guests.

Our crew has experience welcoming wedding couples and, where required, works together with wedding officiants, wedding planners and other suppliers. This allows the practical details of the ceremony and cruise to be coordinated smoothly.

Your Wedding, Designed Around You

Every wedding is different. That is why we work with you to create a programme that suits your plans, style and group.

The salon boat can be decorated to match your preferred style and the atmosphere of your wedding ceremony.

The cruise itself can also be tailored to your programme. This can include the preferred route, duration of the cruise and the moments at which you would like to welcome your guests.

We naturally take practical considerations such as boarding and disembarking into account.

Would you like to enjoy a relaxed dinner after the ceremony while Amsterdam slowly passes by?

Or would you rather raise a glass with your guests during a festive canal cruise?

We are happy to help you create a program that fits your wedding perfectly.

Getting Married on the Amsterdam Canals

The Amsterdam canals provide a beautiful and unique setting for a wedding day.

Historic canal houses, characteristic bridges and the water itself create an atmospheric backdrop and countless opportunities for beautiful wedding photographs.

A wedding on the Amsterdam canals also offers something truly special: you experience the city from a completely different perspective.

As the salon boat cruises through the historic centre, you and your guests can sit back, relax and enjoy the changing views of Amsterdam.

A salon boat also allows you to experience different parts of the city without having to move between multiple venues.

The ceremony, reception, dinner and canal cruise can therefore become one seamless and memorable experience.
