- LLyn07/05/2024I cannot speak highly enough of the Nepean Belle I cannot speak highly enough of the Nepean BelleMy now husband and I had our wedding on the Nepean Belle on the 24th of April. I cannot speak highly enough of the Nepean Belle and their incredible team. Our wedding was meant to be last year and due to COVID we had to post-pone it. The owners and team were incredibly helpful and reassuring throughout this process and when our day finally came around they made it nothing short of perfect.My now husband and I had our wedding on the Nepean Belle on the 24th of April.

- JJulie07/05/2024100% delighted with every aspect of the evening100% delighted with every aspect of the eveningWe held our wedding ceremony and reception on the Nepean Belle and are 100% delighted with every aspect of the evening. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the food was and it was plentiful too. Captain Chris Bennett was only too happy to show the children on board how the boat operates, and navigated the river safety, despite the raised river level following a discharge of water from Warragamba Dam. Carol was amazing, accommodating our every request.We held our wedding ceremony and reception on the Nepean Belle and are 100% delighted with every aspect of the evening.
