On Saturday, June 4 aboard the FantaSea One in Marina del Rey, we celebrated Breanna’s Quinceanera.  She was absolutely beautiful in a dress with layers of pink and ivory satin ruffles.  Her hair was gorgeous with big curls swept into an updo, finished with a tiara fit for a princess.  The party began with a first dance with her father, that brought everyone to tears.  Followed by a waltz with her court as each chambelan greeted her with a pink rose.  After dinner, Breanna surprised everyone with a special song and guitar performance.  It was the perfect venue for the quinceanera as the evening continued with the little kids playing in the lounge, older guests chatting away in the dining room and the serious dancers getting down on the Party Deck.

Congratulations Breanna!  Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day as we celebrated with your family and friends.

I met Frances working a special charter aboard FantaSeas’ flagship yacht, the Dandeana, early last year. It was a burial at sea, but a beautiful and festive one I can say for certain. Frances decided that day that the Dandeana would be a perfect venue to surprise her partner for her 70th Birthday. Frances is a busy attorney here in Los Angeles and wanted to pretty much make the decision and not worry about it after that.

We met a week later and planned what was to become the first surprise in Arlene’s 70 years. Clearly, as time ticked away, we were on task, but the Host (Frances) was becoming very nervous. Could it be, we could actually surprise Arlene?

Well if you take a look at the attached pictures you can note that Arlene was onboard and upstairs on the party deck before she had any idea! An then, just as they do it in the movies…SURPRISE!

Everyone was smartly dressed in Black and White, Arlene’s favorite flowers adorned the tables and folks came as far away as Israel to greet Arlene for her fabulous affair. Frances and I worked out the skit in which we put in to action at EXACTLY 6:52pm as they arrived to have dinner ‘next door’. Everyone was in place and in the end the party was a grand success.

Arlene was treated to an unexpected surprise and I gained an unexpected new friend in Frances…Thank you doll!

One of our guests, Alla, served up a fruit buffet that was fresh, fun and fantastically sweet for her birthday at FantaSea. After all, at 50 she is still all of those things! Check out the beautiful work and bon appetît…
