When planning any event, there’s always the fear that what you envision will not become reality when the day comes to greet your guests. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead of hoping for the best, why not guarantee that it is something special by planning your next event on a private yacht in beautiful Lake Michigan?
Booking a yacht is a great way to take your event to the next level without adding stress to your life. At Anita Dee Yacht Charters, we make it easy to host the best event ever by recommending handpicked caterers, decorators, photographers, and entertainment.
Of course, if you have someone else in mind, we can work with that, too! The important thing is making sure your event is what you want it to be. Here are some of our tips for doing just that:
Booking
Whatever the reason for celebration, make sure you book your date early. There’s nothing worse than finding out too late that the date you wanted is already taken. When picking a date, keep in mind the weather and how long you’re going to be out on the water, as well as what time of day you want to embark.
Anita Dee offers breakfast, lunch, and late-night cruises so that you’re not tied down to any specific kind of event. For example, breakfast times can be great for corporate events. If you’re looking for an evening or night out, however, you might want to plan around seeing the Chicago firework displays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It’s always a big hit, and a show like that is sure to stay with your guests long after they step foot on dry land again.
Decorations
While the Chicago skyline seen from Lake Michigan is already quite the view, you’ll undoubtedly want to make sure that you set the perfect mood for your event through the decorations and floral displays you choose.
If you’re looking for a florist for your event, all of Anita Dee’s preferred florists are beautifully creative, customer-oriented, and comfortable working on our vessels. Whatever you choose, you can rest assured that your event’s backdrop will already be beautiful.
Photography/Videography
Don’t let a moment slip by! Hiring a photographer is crucial to making sure that your big day is remembered forever. While your guests snap selfies, let a professional capture the big moments – the things you won’t want to be behind a camera for. Anita Dee’s preferred photographers will keep your event alive through beautiful pictures and videos you’re guaranteed to love.
Catering
As anyone knows, the best part of a party is the food. You’ll want to plan ahead to get the best caterer for your event. Of course, sometimes this can depend on what kind of event it is and what time of day it’s taking place. Is it a company breakfast meeting? A wedding rehearsal dinner? Maybe a Sweet 16, or even a prom? Anita Dee can accommodate up to 400 guests for an event on the water.
Whatever the occasion, the right food can turn a good party into a great party. All of Anita Dee’s preferred caterers serve delicious, inventive meals without sacrificing customer service. And with full-service galleys on both of Anita Dee’s vessels, you already have the perfect setup.
Entertainment
No party is complete without a little entertainment. Whether it’s a DJ or a band, you’ll want someone who’s able to get your guests on the dance floor. Anita Dee’s preferred entertainment companies can do exactly that. Our vessels also come with state-of-the-art sound systems, ensuring that your guests are entertained no matter where they are on the yacht. When planning your event, make sure not to skip over this crucial element. The importance of getting amazing music for your event just can’t be overstated.
