“City Cruises Norfolk was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. They were responsive, courteous, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The value was definitely worth it for an all-inclusive venue - the food was delicious, the wait staff was amazing, and the DJ kept our dance floor packed all day long. The crew on the day of the wedding was absolutely incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy ourselves.
