"I was the Minister at a wedding on board a cruise arranged through Smooth Sailing Celebrations. The atmosphere was gorgeous! All the guests raved about the elegance and food and services provided. Several months later, while officiating at another wedding, the guests were still talking about how everything was perfect on the wedding cruise. Camille Cerria is very detail oriented and it shows in how beautifully everything went! Very happy brides and grooms, as well as guests! I recommend Smooth Sailing Celebrations to every bride. It truly was Smooth Sailing!"
- Reverend Arlene Rich, Sparta, NJ

�The event went very well. I know everyone enjoyed themselves, and the food was fantastic. A lot of times when people have events, the food is normally not too fulfilling, but this time everything was great. Camille, I truly want to think you for everything that you have done for Montclair State University and my organization this year. You helped us out a lot and understood that we were a student organization and worked with us so, on behalf of the entire organization, I would like to Thank You.I do hope in the future we do business with you again.

�Thanks Camille - we had a great time and lots of good feedback!�

�Thank you, Smooth Sailing Celebrations, for making our parents 55th WeddingAnniversary a momentous occasion. The food was a culinary delight and theentertainment was over-the-top. We had a delightful day and look forward to ournext sail.�
- Eileen & Mike

�My initial meeting with Camille was for 100+ sales and marketing employees. We booked the yacht because the ship gave the group flexibility to move around without feeling confined. Camille recommended choices for the buffet and beverage packages, which were perfect for our needs. The food was good, choices met all palates (meat-eaters, vegetarians, dieters and those who love to eat), and it remained hot. The ship itself was very clean and the staff was attentive. There is a short broadway show that the staff did a good job presenting, and this set the mood for dancing for the remainder of the cruise. My group had a great time! A yacht is a nice setting for a meeting. The cruise is about 3 hours and gives people enough mobility to walk around to get fresh air, but also be with their group to conduct individual or group meetings as needed. I would continue to book events through Smooth Sailing Celebrations. For my meetings I have high and strict standards, and I can tell you that Camille ensures my needs for each event are fulfilled.�
� Wyeth Executive Assistant, Sales Meeting & Entertainment

The food was nicely prepared, presented and served by very friendly waitstaff. Our entertainers added to our enjoyment and had us dancing with them as they sang "New York, New York". All of this at a great price, too.�

�Camille Cerria is a genuine person and great to work with on any corporate or personal event. Her professionalism, teamwork and dedication is outstanding. Camille has arranged several events for me over the years and each one was successful. Also, I had recommended her to a colleague, and I was told their event was very well-received and successful.Camille and I have worked together for about seven years, and initially when I booked my first event we made the deal without meeting. But it was her energy, honesty and professionalism that gave me the confidence to work with her and go into contract for my meeting. It was not until after the meeting that we finally met so we could put a face with the voice.I would recommend Camille for any corporate or personal event. She will provide you outstanding service, recommend packages for any size group and ensure you have all the essentials needed for a successful meeting. You can feel confident that she will do an outstanding job because she enjoys her work, but most of all she wants your success to be hers!�

�Hi Camille - I just wanted to say thanks for all your help with this event, the evening came off without a hitch and the weather held out for us (a little humid) and fun was had by all. Thanks again for all your hard work.�
- Executive Assistant, Thomson Gardiner-Caldwell U.S.

�At our last event, we had 150 guests on the ship, and we had one of the decks to ourselves.Camille was wonderful. She was attentive to our multitude of details, responsive to my many phone calls, and even showed up on the night of our event to introduce us to our maitre'd and make sure that everything was set according to plan. The ship was clean, the staff was friendly and organized, the DJ willingly took our requests, and the food was displayed in an appetizing way, and was actually better than we'd anticipated. Festive is the best way to describe the atmosphere. The event was everything that Camille had guaranteed.We plan to use Smooth Sailing and the ships again, because we know that all details are well-managed, there is very little for our planning team to handle, and our guests went home happy.�
- PR Director
