concerning our Charter Tuesday night. I have been

very professional. It was truly a lovely evening and I
am so happy with the outcome.”

Sailing" is perfect because, if we
would not have had Camille as our

been as successful.

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,

“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 ½ 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

“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!”

“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

“Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you about our
experience aboard the ship -
it was FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much for assisting me. The
whole crew was very helpful, cheerful and celebratory. They did
everything we asked them to in terms of food, decorations that I
put up with their help, organizational tips, etc.
My husband to be was shocked, amazed, surprised and
absolutely happy. It was MAGICAL!
He still raves about how I could organize all of that, but of course
I had your help, and thank you again for everything. And if we
need anything else in this area we'll know who to contact ;)

“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.
