How to Host a Micro Wedding on the Bay
“micro wedding San Francisco,” “yacht wedding Bay Area,” “small wedding on the water”
When it comes to weddings, bigger isn’t always better. More and more couples are trading grand ballrooms for intimate, meaningful gatherings — and for those dreaming of something elegant yet adventurous, a micro wedding aboard Gas Light offers the perfect blend of romance, charm, and wow factor.
Let us help you tie the knot!
💍 Why Choose a Micro Wedding on a Tall Ship?
A micro wedding (typically 10–30 guests) gives you the freedom to focus on what truly matters: connection, intention, and atmosphere. On Gas Light, our 72-foot tall ship, you’ll enjoy sweeping views, beautiful light, and a cozy-yet-spacious venue that feels both relaxed and unforgettable.

Our private charter package includes:
2.5-hour private sail on the San Francisco Bay
Professional crew, fuel, insurance

Want a longer sail or a route that includes the Golden Gate Bridge? We can customize your package and timeline to fit your vision.
🍽️ Food & Drink Your Way
We offer upgradable catering options through trusted local vendors — from casual bites to elegant plated meals. You’re also welcome to bring your own food at no additional cost. Our bar options include hosted, tally, or drink-ticket service, plus optional champagne toasts or signature cocktails.
💐 Styling the Space
Our yacht features a warm, wood-paneled interior with a long mahogany table and lounge seating below deck, plus wide, open topside decks with panoramic views. You’re welcome to bring flowers, simple décor, or even a small acoustic musician — we’ll work with you to make it stunning and seamless.
📍 Where to Board
You and your guests can board from Alameda (Marina Village), San Francisco (Pier 40 or Pier 15), or upgrade to Sausalito or Richmond for an additional fee. All options offer beautiful waterfront access and easy logistics.
Tying the Knot on a Tall Ship is Timeless!
