Commodore Cruises & Events - Happy Independence Day!

Commodore Cruises & Events

(228 reviews)

We just went on the 4th of July dinner, dance watch fire works cruise on the bay. It was great. We…read morehave seen the Cabernet Sauvignon yacht docked in Alameda when we go walking along the shore but never really thought about looking into cruises. We boarded around 6:30 after getting checked in. The bars opened at 6:30 (2nd and 3rd deck) so it seemed like a good first stop upon boarding. Buffet dinner of chicken, hand cut prime rib, sauteed vegetables, salad, lemon rice, and cheese cake started just after 7. I had 2 helpings and cleared my plate both times. Delicious. Back to the bars. Both had beer, wine and spirits. The upstairs bar had the good tequila as well as more premium spirits. Around 9:30 we were in position off the San Francisco waterfront to watch the fireworks. The open top deck was perfect for viewing. It was somewhat clear earlier I the evening but of course the fog rolled in just in time for the festivities. It was still a good show. The DJ was playing tunes all night on the 3rd deck but the dancing really started after the fireworks. The crowd was mixed but everyone was pleasant. The over zealous clean up crew decided to grab our drinks while dancing. The bar crew replaced them even when the bar was technically closed. Huge props to them. Will definitely do this again. Maybe for fleet week when the planes are flying.

Had our high school prom on the Commodore and it was okay. The boat itself had 4 levels with the…read moreupper deck being an open space as well as the 3rd level having a bit of an outdoor portion. The other levels were mainly designated to food and photobooths. The boat drove all the way past the golden gate bridge from Alameda and back. The views were spectacular but the cruise itself was just okay. Pros: - Amazing views from the deck as well as all areas inside the boat. Really loved the route it was on. - Lemon bars which were slightly too sweet but still delicious. - Friendly waiters who were always asking us if we wanted any drinks and clearing the plates. Cons: - No elevator so it was hard to climb up and down the stairs in a long ball gown. - The bathrooms were tiny, not poofy dress friendly. - The food is actually terrible. Think grapes with saucy chicken, I don't know who thought of this option. - The dance floor was on the 3rd floor and while people jumped, it seemed like the ceiling tiles were about to break on the 2nd floor. Overall okay experience. Should have spent more time looking at the views instead of eating the food.

We had dapper cuties set up a soft play for my son's first birthday and it was a huge hit. Melanie…read morewas so great to work with leading up to the event, and was helpful with park permits and ultimately a location change. We hope to get the bubble house for our next event!

I found Dapper Cuties on Instagram. Since day one of my contact with Melanie, she was absolutely…read morewonderful! Her response time and communication very timely and professional! I was very nervous before the party because I was not sure how the weather would be like, and Melanie made me feel so stress-free just by the accommodations she offered and encouragement. I truly appreciate all the work Melanie and her team put in before, during, and after my son's first birthday. During the event, the set up they had no questions for me. They walked in and knew exactly where and how to set up. The team knew what they needed to do and were able to do everything and make it look beautiful without any issues. We went with the soft play package for the kids and a bubble house. The colors of both were perfect! The kids and adults enjoyed both the play areas equally. I received a lot of compliments! Even after the event, Melanie was kind enough to send me all the photos that she took during my event; not of her set up alone, but also other decorations that I had prepared. Melanie, thank you so much for everything! You made my son's first birthday very special just by your beautiful work!

Having Very Merry Events coordinate during the month of our wedding was one of the best decisions…read morewe could have made! Our wedding was held at Cornerstone Sonoma which plays hosts to multiple property attractions including a winery, barn, dinner tent, shops and outdoor art installations. With a venue as such, VME was efficient and strategic in all accounts to ensure each phase of our wedding ran smoothly. Rom was absolutely amazing as our lead coordinator! Right off the bat, she understood our style and the type of wedding we wanted to plan. She showed a genuine interest and offered sincere suggestions which we really appreciated. With it being wedding season and all, we never once felt her attention divide. We can not thank her enough for being engaged and on top of everything. As a bride who has never dreamed up a wedding as a child, we were kind of just pulling random pins in hopes it would all come together. Rom was really supportive of all our major DIY projects and even scheduled touch bases to help keep us on track. We commend her patience and positive attitude throughout the entire adventure-- which I have to mention was tested during our ride from the hotel to the venue! With a storage mishap, each of the bridesmaids literally held a layer of our four tiered wedding cake in lap as we steadily drove all while keeping with the timeline schedule. Let me just say how comforting it was, Rom was completely calm and collected ensuring me the cake would be assembled without worry. In my head, I'm just praying we don't run over a speed bump and butter cream her entire interior! The level of dedication we received from Rom and VME on our wedding day was above and beyond anything we expected! The communication between all our vendors alongside the VME team was consistent from start to finish. Throughout the day we even received compliments from our guests on their professionalism and how well each series of events was executed and transitioned to the next. It was clear all parties involved were on the same page. Number one wedding day advice: spend a moment with each other to just take it all in. We are so grateful for Rom, as we were lucky enough to take in many moments during our wedding day!

Mary was absolutely fabulous to work with. She was the second or third planner we met with and we…read morehit it off right away. Mary asked what style I was thinking and came through during our first meeting with pictures and swatches of what I wanted. She is very professional, prepared for anything, and above all just a cool planner that we can now call a friend. I would say that hiring a planner is such an essential thing because she was so on top of things and supportive whenever I needed her. My mom just loved her also and was very pleased with the work she did. Mary really put her whole heart into making my dream wedding come true and would recommend her to anyone.
