RMS Queen Mary

The planner was very helpful throughout the process. Some things were a bit confusing. At one point she told me i needed someone else to do the music. then closer to the event she said she would. They were very nice in letting us set up whenever we wanted. Although it wasn't clear what we needed to do vs what they would do after we left ( napkin folding....). Through the planning she told me i did not need 10 at every table, but day of she only had 10 tables for my 100 guest which i had sitting at 11 table. they quickly added 1, but this could have been taken care of earlier. I did my seating chart, but she set the tables where she wanted them. this didn't go over well since i has a whole area for kids and wanted families with children sat on that side. Honestly, these were tiny things, but they coulda been taken care of before. Not the most proactive planning staff. I guess that is what you get when they come with the package.

Just went to a wedding there. The ceremony was Gorgeous. Out on the deck under the gazebo. The ballroom was beautiful and the appetizers at the cocktail hour were awesome. But the food during the reception was horrible. I didn't eat anything but the veggies and they were even substandard. I thought it was weird that everything else was so perfect but the food was pretty bleh.

Every 4th of July, the Queen Mary holds a fabulous Forth Dinner Event and afterward you are able to view Septacular Fireworks. It's really awesome.

The RMS Queen Mary gave us a beautiful wedding! Catering Sales Manager & Coordinator Carrie Stafford and her team went above and beyond to help us create a beautiful day for us and our guests. The historic ship was the perfect location for our ceremony and reception. The outdoor gazebo at sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and up until and during the wedding itself, guests and strangers alike mentioned what a unique and very special location we had chosen. The Queen Mary has a reputation of having an old-fashioned yet timeless, classic and romantic charm and we were so excited to have this on our wedding day.

The food was delicious, and guests raved about everything from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. My husband and I were treated with the utmost hospitality and graciousness on our special day. The banquet staff took care of our every need.

Thank you, RMS Queen Mary, for a beautiful wedding day, and lots of gorgeous memories!

I could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding and my reception. The Queen Mary was beautiful, the service was professional and friendly, and everyone was so kind. Marla and Tyffany in Sales and Catering were AMAZING!! They were both kind, understanding, and flexible. Our head caterer for the reception was clam, responsive, and professional. By the time you get to the reception, a bride and groom don't have time to think about things, and Ernesto took care of us. He made sure we knew when our food was at our table, he brought us glasses of champagne, and set aside hors d'oeuvres for us on our table. Even though we had asked friends to set out the wedding favors, they had too much to drink at the open bar, so the wait staff took care of it for us. The food was amazing! The Queen Mary was slightly out of our budget, but it was exactly what we wanted and worth every penny. Guests have been getting in touch with us since the wedding, telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! The best compliment was last night when someone said to us, "That reception was a gift to all of us."It truly was a perfect day.

Our wedding on the Queen Mary overall was wonderful. A few glitches here and there, but I suppose that is to be expected. My only real complaint is that the air conditioning in the Royal Wedding Chapel was not working the day of our wedding and it must have been 100 degrees in there with all the people. I nearly passed out in the middle of the ceremony. Not good. Otherwise, the staff was fantastic in facilitating our needs and flexible in how we wanted to do things. Our wedding coordinator Joanne was good, but a little overwhelmed with the work-load at times. There were a couple of occasions where we had to follow up with her a few times to get the information we needed. The food and the banquet staff during the reception were exceptional. The courses were served quickly and accurately to everyone and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We were very, very pleased with their performance.

The event staff were poorly prepared for our appointments. They provided INACCURATE CONTRACTS. They could not provide accurate pricing. They missed appointments. The event staff were as UNPROFESSIONAL as I've ever seen. The reception venue looks like it has not been maintained for public events. One of my best wedding picture has one of the front drapes half falling off the curtain rod. It was very disappointing.

I had planned my wedding in 2 weeks. The Queen Mary was quick, cheap, and easy to book. And it was a beautiful wedding. They do provide more services but as I already stated, my wedding was planned in 2 weeks only and it was on a low budget.They staff was kind. Captain Roy is so adorable. I loved my wedding experience.

Good food, good service and beautiful location for a reception. We had the wedding ceremony at a church so that does not apply. Only complaint was that in the 8 months from when we booked the site to when we had our wedding, we had 3 different coordinators. It was just a weird set of circumstances but in the end the manager took on our event to ensure things went smoothly.The cocktail hour on the bow is highly recommended and it is a wonderful location that is very fun for guests, both locals and out of towners. Plus the Art Deco bar is open until 2pm so after your reception you can continue the party just a short walk away.

My husband and I had a beautiful wedding on the Queen Mary in August of 2006, however there were many problems. The hair and makeup person never showed up for my trial appointment a month before the wedding, I had to drive out there a second time to meet her. We went through 3 wedding coordinators in the course of our one year of planning, we were not informed that the person had changed, no one ever contacted us. They only sat down to discuss colors, menu, etc. 2 weeks before the wedding. I loved our wedding and I love the site, our pictures are stunning and our friends and families still talk about how beautiful it was, but it was also a pain. Especially since MANY of our vendors charged us extra to set up there, apparently they have pretty strict rules with deliveries and their loading dock.

The invitations were part of our wedding package and they were beautiful. Very simple and elegant, they capture the historic feel of the ship, which we loved.

Catering Manager was fired 4 days prior to the wedding, I about had a heart attack, but everything went off without a hitch.

The RMS Queen Mary is docked directly next to the restaurant that our weding and reception was at. So while we were getting married on the roof at the Reef, the Queen Mary and the Long Beach harbor was the backdrop! Pretty neat. We were able to walk over to the Queen Mary and take pictures with the photographer, however since there was not much time we did not go on board. I have also been to a reception event at the Queen Mary and that was great. Lots of great places for vintagy pictures and then great views overlooking the Long Beach harbor.

The Queen Mary is a gorgeous and sophisticated venue for any wedding.
