How much does a wedding on a boat in Paris cost? The items that make up the budget
A wedding on the Seine can begin with a ceremony on board, continue with a drinks reception and then a dinner. Or it can simply take the form of an evening party after the town hall ceremony. This difference in programme partly explains why prices can vary so much.
At Sein'ario, the choice of boat depends in particular on the number of guests. Large-capacity barges suit some bigger weddings, while more intimate formats are available for smaller groups.

The boat and the duration set the structure of the budget
A full evening doesn't require the same resources as a short cruise between two parts of the wedding day. You therefore need to look at the hire duration, the timings and the type of cruise on offer.
The meal is a major part of the project
Seated dinner, cocktail reception, drinks and service should be kept separate from the boat hire itself. For a wedding, the catering also needs to be planned around the layout of the spaces and the pace of the evening. Sein'ario coordinates these services with partner caterers.
Decoration, music and coordination come on top
Flowers, signage, a sound system, a DJ or a set-up for speeches can complete the package. What you need to check is what is actually included in each proposal, so you don't end up comparing quotes that cover different things.
Why a single price would be misleading
The indicative figures published by Sein'ario for private hire range from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on the boat and the package. For a wedding, the budget should be set by quote, based on the date, the number of guests, the duration and the services chosen.
