The Boathouse Weddings & Events

"I can't recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing enough for a wedding reception! Our experience was absolutely perfect. Alli, our coordinator, was a true gem—she was incredibly professional, attentive, and her calming presence made the planning process so much easier. She made sure that we had everything that we needed during our big day. She made sure we had a late night snack to take away too!! Alli checked on us throughout the whole night to make we had time to eat and enjoy our wedding reception! Her attentiveness allowed us to take in the incredible evening.

The food was fantastic, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The venue itself is stunning, right on the river with breathtaking views of the city. It created the perfect backdrop for our special day. If you’re looking for a beautiful setting and exceptional service, this is the place to be!" -- WeddingWire Review, 9/28/24

"We looked at so many venues online but as soon we toured The Boathouse we knew we wanted to have our wedding there — and it didn’t disappoint! The venue itself is beautiful, the service was amazing, and the food was delicious. We got so many compliments on both the main course and the appetizers. The planning process was so easy and stress-free. We live out of state, so we were able to do most of it virtually, and we always got prompt and helpful responses from Alli. Alli Prato is an amazing coordinator; she goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need on your wedding day! She even helped us when we couldn’t for the life of us figure out how to bustle my dress. 10/10 would recommend choosing the Boathouse for your wedding or event!" -- WeddingWire Review, 6/13/24

"The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing is the perfect wedding venue! The Boathouse staff took care of absolutely everything. From setup, to moving flower arrangements between the ceremony and reception spaces, to the passed drinks and appetizers, to serving dinner and dessert, the staff was knowledgeable and professional. I am a naturally high stress person and was worried that my wedding day would be unenjoyable because I would be so anxious, but Alli and the rest of the staff made me feel completely relaxed and and I was able to truly have the best day of my life! All of our guests raved about how delicious the food and drinks were, as well as how helpful and prompt the servers were. Overall, I would recommend The Boathouse to anyone who wants a venue with gorgeous views and an impeccable wedding experience." -- The Knot Review, 5/16/24

"The Boathouse was such an incredible venue! It was the clear choice for us and was beyond convenient since EVERYTHING was included! They handle everything from linens and food to tables and chairs and even throw in a day of coordinator (Alli) who is absolutely incredible. Bonnie (sales) walked us through options and pricing and everything was transparent from the jump. Alli brought our dream wedding to life, and displayed professionalism every step of the way paying attention to details such as making sure we had a drink in our hand when we needed one and kept us operating on the timeline we wanted to be on. The whole experience was 10/10." -- WeddingWire Review, 3/29/24

"We knew immediately after our tour we had to have our wedding at The Boathouse. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, food and drinks were all included, it came with a superb day of coordinator, the staff was incredible, and on top of all that it was affordable! On my wedding day, my coordinator was the point of contact for all my vendors and she made sure all of our decor was set up before we even arrived. My now husband and I got to spend the entire day really enjoying every moment because the staff took great care of everything. Our guests also loved the venue and many said our reception had some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Definitely book a tour, this is a really special venue." -- The Knot, 12/1/23

"The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing is a wonderful place to get married! They make it so easy, and straightforward and they really take care of their couples along the way. From our initial meeting with Bonnie to the wedding day with Alli, we had a wonderful experience. We looked at several places but the Boathouse is unmatched if you're looking for a venue that offers both an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception, all in the city after daylight saving ends (our wedding was mid-November). The skyline and view of the James are perfection. I loved that the pricing was clear from day one- it's all right on their website for browsing before even speaking to anyone! We toured so many places that I thought we could save money here or there- but then the fine print would prove otherwise. The Boathouse also offers so much in-house- from the coordinator (Alli), to the wait and bar staff, to the food and drinks, to their partnership with a vendor for linens, chairs, a dance floor, and various other rentals- you do not have to piece together a bunch of items from different vendors- Alli took care of all of it! And the convenience did not result in poor quality- the number of times I reached out to Alli about tablecloth covers must've been annoying- but she never made me feel like it was! She was always so easygoing and delightful to work with When we arrived back at our hotel room we had to-go meals and wine waiting for us that Alli had packed up and sent with our day-of coordinator. It was such a nice treat after an incredible day! It really did go perfectly- my husband and I are so glad we went with the Boathouse and will have fond memories of our wedding day there forever!" -- The Knot, 12/12/23

It was our honor to host you on your special day, Danielle! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness 🥂
