SEE WHY THESE COUPLES CHOSE GATEWAY CLIPPER!

Perfect venue for a wedding

I am so glad I booked my wedding with the gateway Clipper. I had my wedding and reception on board the Princess of the Gateway Clipper. It was around Christmas time, so those decorations were already up along with added decorations for the wedding. I was very impressed with how beautiful it all looked. The cake, DJ, bartenders and food were all included in the package. Dan was terrific to work with. Very responsive to emails and answered every question I had (time and time again) about the details of the wedding...

Great experience!

We initially spoke with the Gateway Clipper at a wedding convention. I had my heart set on a city venue that wasn’t a ballroom and honestly didn’t even think of the Clipper. We stopped at the booth and we’re amazed to see how affordable their pricing was and that it also included SO much such as the cake, DJ, food and alcohol. We set up a tour and ended up booking right away. Our initial date was 3/28/20 and of course we had to reschedule with the pandemic. The process of rescheduling was heartbreaking but the Clipper really did their best to accommodate us...

One stop shop and open communication

We have no regrets planning our wedding with the Gateway Clipper. From day one communication channels were open and highly responsive. The package we selected include almost everything we needed for the wedding allowing us to focus on ourselves and our family rather than coordinating and paying vendors. Dan always fielded any question we had professionally and promptly. On the day of the event, Stormi kept us informed of our timelines, made sure we were well taken care of, and kept the event running without a hitch...

Our Wonderful Wedding Experience

Even with the uncertainty of the pandemic, we had a wonderful wedding experience on February 20th on the Gateway Clipper Fleet. Our guest enjoyed everything about the venue. The staff was wonderful and Dan Bickerton, our wedding planner, did a fabulous job setting everything up and making sure our special day was a success....I highly recommend this venue.

Incredible

Noah and Haley’s Wedding was perfect!! The venue was beautiful! The staff went above and beyond to meet any of our needs and the skyline didn’t disappoint!! The food was awesome! Our DJ, Kevin with First Class Entertainment, totally had us dancing the whole night! Our photographers (E&J Photographers) were incredible to work with! An outdoor ceremony in Pittsburgh and in early November??? But it couldn’t have been anymore beautiful!! Thank you Gateway Clipper Fleet!!
