Romantic boats for intimate ceremonies and grand floating receptions
For a truly exceptional wedding in Paris, imagine a privately hired boat on the Seine, the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, your loved ones gathered in a unique floating setting. Bateaux Seine offers a fleet of romantic and intimate venues for your humanist ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding dinners and anniversaries: from 30 to 200 guests.
A wedding on a boat in Paris is the ultimate expression of Parisian romance. It is offering your guests an unforgettable experience: the ceremony facing the landmarks, the dinner beneath the stars, the dancing party with the Eiffel Tower sparkling above.
The other benefit is practical: an all-inclusive venue that simplifies the planning. Ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and evening all in one place: no transfers. Your guests stay together in an exceptional setting.
Depending on your vision, we design a range of formats: humanist ceremony on the upper deck facing the Eiffel Tower, drinks reception during a cruise with guided navigation, seated wedding dinner in a romantic setting (up to 150 guests), dancing party with DJ or live band, next-day brunch to extend the celebrations, or wedding anniversary / private ceremony to mark a unique occasion.
Several boats in our fleet are particularly well suited to weddings: Le Jardin sur Seine for large weddings up to 450 guests with a landscaped terrace, Bateau Grenelle at the foot of the Eiffel Tower up to 150 guests, Yacht Paris 15 electric yacht for private ceremonies up to 63 guests, or Atelier sur Seine floating loft for design-led weddings up to 200 guests.
Our team supports you with: venue selection including boat visits, caterer choice with recommendations from partner chefs, floral design with introductions to event florists, entertainment (DJ, live musicians, photographer), on-the-day coordination with a wedding planner on site, and premium service with a maître d'hôtel and liveried team to match your special day.
No, the civil ceremony must be held at the town hall. However, we regularly host the humanist ceremony (personalised vows), the drinks reception, the dinner and the dancing party.
Le Jardin sur Seine welcomes up to 200 guests for a seated dinner and dancing party format. For larger weddings, please contact us.
The budget depends on the number of guests, the boat, the caterer and the services chosen. From EUR 12,000 (excl. VAT) for an intimate wedding, up to EUR 80,000 (excl. VAT) for a large, fully designed reception.
For a wedding, ideally 8 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak periods (May to September).
Yes, most packages include a guided cruise during the drinks reception or the dinner.
