Some weddings are beautiful, and some are breathtaking—Greg and Deirdre’s celebration aboard a luxury yacht in Miami was absolutely the latter. With the glittering city skyline behind them and love in the air, their big day felt like something out of a dream.
Set sail with us as we relive this unforgettable event that brought together elegance, emotion, and one-of-a-kind moments on the water.
A Venue Like No Other
Greg and Deirdre chose the iconic SeaFair Miami for their wedding—a 20,000-square-foot floating paradise with four spacious decks designed for dining, dancing, and celebrating in style. The guests were greeted with a red-carpet entrance, while the bride and groom got ready in private suites. The venue features gourmet chef-attended catering, fully stocked bars, stylish furnishings, delivering a seamless, upscale wedding experience on the water. From the moment guests stepped aboard, they were swept away by the luxury and unique ambiance of the setting.
The couple & guests stayed at the beautiful InterContinental Miami, where they also hosted their rehearsal dinner/welcome party. The convenience couldn’t have been better—since the hotel is located right next to the yacht, guests were literally steps from the wedding. It made for a seamless, stress-free experience that perfectly set the tone for the entire celebration weekend.
Details That Dazzled
Their planner, Greta McNebb, Founder of Nova Events recalls “Working with Deirdre and Greg was an absolute joy. From our first conversation, they knew exactly what they wanted: an elegant, intimate celebration on the luxury mega yacht, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Their vision came to life in the most stunning way, with crisp white and soft cream florals that perfectly matched the serene beauty of the setting. Planning their wedding felt effortless thanks to their kindness, clarity, and trust. It was a true pleasure to help create such a meaningful and memorable day on the water for two truly lovely people.”
Every corner of the venue was transformed into a floral masterpiece by The Bride Candy, whose exquisite arrangements elevated the atmosphere with timeless elegance and artistic flair. From lush ceremony arches to delicate tablescapes and cascading stairway installations, his designs added rich texture, soft romance, and a sophisticated sense of luxury that perfectly complemented the yacht’s sleek, modern design. The thoughtful placement created a visual symphony that left guests in awe and made every moment picture-perfect.
The open-air dance floor became a highlight of the evening, offering guests the chance to celebrate under a starlit sky—one of those rare experiences that feels both intimate and grand.
And of course, there was that view: the iconic Miami skyline shimmering at sunset, casting golden hues across the water. It was the perfect backdrop for love and celebration.
A Moment to Remember
“My favorite memory was walking with my son arm-in-arm down the aisle and seeing my soon-to-be husband standing at the front of everyone,” Deirdre shared. “It was so sunny and warm, and I could see Greg flushed with a wet sparkle in his eyes. My heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation, and I was so grateful to have my adult son at my side for the walk.”
That heartfelt memory perfectly captures what made this wedding so special: the mix of elegance and emotion, family and celebration, all set against an unforgettable backdrop.
Greg and Deirdre’s wedding was a testament to meaningful moments, creative vision, and the power of a beautiful setting to elevate every detail. From start to finish, it was a day no one aboard will ever forget.
