Submarine weddings are coming! Would you officiate 650 feet underwater?

Love, under the sea… very far under, with submarine wedding ceremonies

 

We’ve written about underwater wedding ceremonies, in which daring ocean lovers take their vows below the waves, dressed in their best snorkels and fins. These salty ceremonies make a real splash, whether they’re held in a tropical diving location or an award-winning Vegas aquarium.

But submarine weddings are about to take underwater nuptials to a whole new level –  up to 650 feet below the ocean’s surface! 

 

A company called U-Boat Worx just announced plans to build 120 guest personal submarines, specially made to host underwater parties and wedding ceremonies.

Called the ‘UWEP,’ short for ‘Under Water Entertainment Platform,’ this first-of-its-kind venue will be able to travel up to 650 feet (200 meters) below the surface and remain submerged for up to 18 hours of aquatic adventure, with an unlimited number of dives possible each day. Once it’s back at the surface, guests will be able to enjoy the view from a 914 square foot sundeck. (via uboatworx.com)

U-Boat Worx is based in the Netherlands and is no stranger to the private sub game – although their largest personal submarine so far, a sleek machine called the Cruise Sub, only holds up to 11 people. Another popular model, the Nexus, was reviewed by Gizmodo back in April and holds up to 9 people. 

 

Now, both of these multimillion dollar options give us undeniable Spy-Who-Loved-Me vibes (and would make for an epic James Bond themed elopement). But the 120 person capacity of the new UWEP really brings the dream of an Atlantis underwater lair alive. Or if superheroes are more your thing, just imagine Stingray, Namor, or Aquaman crashing your reception!

The company’s website promises a spacious experience, with over 1,600 square feet of “configurable venue space that can be tailored to the operator’s requirements… A Michelin-star underwater restaurant, one-of-a-kind casino, unique conference location, world’s most exclusive wedding venue; the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.”

 

Of course you’ll need an unimaginable amount of money to get started…
