The Blues Plate Special
What is the "Blues Plate Special" you ask?
During the North Atlantic Blues Festival we will be tied up at the city dock. If you've always dreamed about getting married on a boat but were afraid you'd get seasick and that it would ruin your day. Here's your chance to hop on board and tie your knot or renew your vows with some of the greatest blues music playing live in the background. Or would you rather a quiet moment before the festival begins, see you at sunrise!
The second weekend of July, because we will be dockside your wedding ceremony will be half price. Your friends and family can watch from the dock if you wish or if its an elopement and you didn't bring witnesses... no worries there will be someone walking around the dock that can witness your event. So if your a landlubber or a lover of the blues join us dockside for a very memorable moment that will stay with you forever.
