Hi Steve,
It's Lindsay from August 3rd with the crazy/hilarious family. Just wanted you to know that I gave you 5 star reviews on wedding wire and yelp. You were so great and we had such a good experience with you and the whole staff, and we're still hearing how great the wedding was a month later! I know the best thank you is a good review, so here are two!

I recently had my wedding reception on the Destiny yacht. I had such a great experience on board. Steve Tanzman in particular is a rockstar coordinator. He's not attached to his blackberry (as he is often on the yachts) but he'll get back to you within 24 hours and his advice was GREAT.
You will get a better value here than at most waterfront venues in NJ and the city. Perfect Spring, Summer or early Fall venue as the interior decks have AC and the breeze is just perfect when you're cruising.
The menu is very open to customization and the waitstaff is great. The food was great, the appetizers as well. If you bring your own cake they will serve a great dessert selection alongside. My guests were raving about that.
Very very memorable wedding reception venue.
Lindsay Very very memorable wedding reception venue.

On behalf of Extraordinary Events Team, I want to thank for your outstanding efforts. Our May 12th event on board the Inamorata Yacht could not have been such as success without you. Our client was very pleased with everything. You were very helpful and made planning this event easy.
Thanks again for all your help Steven.
Best Regards

I've had the pleasure of coordinating two cruise events with Steven, and he is absolutely the best! I was thrilled to be able to suggest him recently to a colleague. Our latest outing in July was one of the best events in our firm's history, thanks to Steven. I can't recommend him highly enough and I sincerely hope to be working with him again in the very near future!

I have been lucky to work with Steven multiple times with his company Yacht Events. Steven is a true professional and makes the whole experience seamless for his clients. He took care of every detail allowing me to enjoy the amazing event with my guests. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to plan a special event in NYC.

Steven was amazing to work with for my wedding in April. I booked a evening dinner cruise for my wedding through Steven and Yacht Events llc aboard the Cornicopia Destiny. Steven was so personable, honest and helpful creating the plan for our perfect wedding ceremony and reception at a very reasonable cost. He was exceptionally helpful with the inital arrangements a year out, answering all questions throughout the planning period. He also made sure every detail was taken care of the night of the wedding by personally attending and orchestrating the perfect night for us. He was beyond accomadating and working with him is an absolute pleasure.

Thanks again for taking over on such short notice and for making our day worry free.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Raf

10 Days into my Honeymoon and still every time, I lay down to relax the magnificence of our wedding replays itself. I thank you for making our day more than a little girl’s dream, come true. The setting, the food, the service, people were beside themselves; it is a day to remember not only for us, but for our friends and family too. We wanted to give them a night of nights and that is what it was. You are the best!

Hi Steven,
My husband Umesh and I would like to thank you, Deisy and the rest team for an awesome..awesome job for my husband's 50th. All the arrangements were impeccable. Everything from your side was perfect. The ship looked beautiful. The staff did a great job taking such good care of our guests. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the dining and cruising experience. Getting to see the illuminated statue of liberty from up so close was amazing. Even though it was cold, everyone was out on the top deck. Everything turned out great just like you used to keep telling me. All our guests thought this to be once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the arrangements were so good, that one would forget that we are actually on a cruise. As you surely noticed, no one wanted to leave !!
Can't thank you enough for always being so patient with me, answering all my questions and making me always feel at ease. You are an awesome person to work with.
So, once again thank you for everything. Hope to work with you again one day !!
Wish you and your family a wonderful thanksgiving and joyous Holiday season !!

I hired Steve to help with planning and executing a yacht party event for about 100 people. Steve and his team were great. They were very welcoming with the ideas I had and were able to help me with what turned out to be a great event. They were great with pricing, service and time. No unexpected curve balls with this team. They delivered exactly what they promised, which turned out to be better than expected. Everyone that attended the event really enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend using Steve for events. He is very personable, professional and takes an interest in meeting his client needs.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Steven and Yacht Events. Our wedding on the Cornucopia Destiny was everything we wanted – and multiple guests commented it was the best wedding they’d ever been to.
Steven was so easy to work with from the first meeting – a great blend of making recommendations while accommodating any request from us. He was responsive and helpful through the entire process, even letting us come back for a second walk through as we got closer to the wedding.
The venue itself was amazing. First, the views of NYC can’t be beaten (including the Brooklyn bridge, downtown skyline, and a close up of the Statue of Liberty). Plus everything was handled for us: table set up, linens, lighting, delicious food, and open bar. Steven was even on board during the wedding making sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a beautiful, unique, turn-key venue, do yourselves a favor and call Yacht Events.
Brian and DavidThe night was exactly what we wanted from start to finish and multiple people told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

First of all I can not pick just 3 attributes about Steven's service skills....so If I could I would pick them all....so it is with great pleasure that I can write a recommmendation for Steven and what an amazing job he did for me and my guests for a very 'special' party I had for my wife that Steven planned right down to picking out the flowers. The party was so successful and fun that people still not only talk about like it was yesterday but also talk about Steve who sailed with us up and down the Hudson for 4 1/ 2 hours attending to every detail and making sure everything was being done right and that we were happy..............
It was truly a pleasure working with Steve on this extremely important event and I woud not hesitate to engage his very talented services again!

We knew our daughter’s wedding at the Chateau would be wonderful but everything you and Rick did far exceeded our expectations. The glow on the faces of the bride and groom was not only their love for each other, but also the wonderful feeling they had to begin their married life so elegantly and so happily.
We know it isn’t easy to come in cold to a position such as yours and we appreciate the stress you had to deal with not only on your end but also with the parents and brides and grooms and the results were spectacular. Your staff is very well suited for their responsibilities and we would like you to know how wonderful Naomi was in helping us get ready. My only regret was that I didn’t get to sample all the wonderful food.
Again, our sincere appreciation.
Best Wishes,
Susan Tanzer

We have received numerous phone calls telling us how ideal the wedding was I have used every superlative I can think of and I would like to pass on one comment by a friend of ours who is a gourmet chef, you should write the textbook on how a wedding should be done. Absolute perfection.
Thanks Again

Everyone has been complimenting Frank and I for our daughter’s wedding and I would like to extend those compliments to you. Without you and your staff it wouldn’t have been the magnificent event that it was. The food, service and décor were impeccable, even the weather – and after seeing your work I wouldn’t be surprised if you had something to do with that!! My heartfelt thanks for a job well done.
Sincerely

Mark and I first wanted to thank you for helping to make our wedding so unforgettable you and the staff were incredibly generous helpful, and professional. It was truly a pleasure to work with you on one of life’s most important events. We will always remember the Chateau as an incredibly special and meaningful place. In particular we’d like to say how helpful Naomi was. She made sure we ate the delicious food (something I’m very thankful for).
Everyone who attended our wedding was struck by the beauty and serenity of the event, as well as by how efficiently it is was run. We are sure we will be back sometime soon!
We thank you for helping to make our wedding so wonderful and so special.

I have had the pleasure of working with Steve for many years. The reason is simple and straight forward. He gets the job done. And in doing so he is responsive, available and on target. Not much more to ask for but if I did I'm sure he'd find a way to do it.

If your expectations are no less than perfection then Steve and his team are the people for you. The event was complex, the guests included adults, children, teenagers and some very demanding performers. At no time did Steve ever lose sight of the guest of honor as being the most important person at the party. The creativity of the party, the venue, the food and the presentation created a lifetime of wonderful memories. Steve listened well and made sure he understood all that was important to us and then delivered beyond our greatest expectations. I also had the opportunity to obseve a number of other events he hosted/created including a photo shoot with some of the worlds most successful models. They looked as happy with their event as we were with ours.
