Dream Wedding Venue: Perfect in Every Way

Had our wedding here, and have nothing but glowing things to say. Stellar food (and so attentive of dietaries), gorgeous location, and caring service from the wait staff to the attentive coordinators -- I could truly go on and on. They made our reception almost too easy.

Perfect Wedding Venue - Highly Recommended!

My wife and I had our wedding here recently plus a pre-wedding lunch with our bridal party. We had the best time and can't rate them highly enough! The functions team were wonderful to work with, nothing was too much trouble. Service for our reception (and the lunch) were just great -- they were so attentive and efficient. A lot of our guests came up to us and told us the same. We've definitely found a new favourite in the Boat House for intimate, scenic, meals and for great events.

The Boat House: Perfect Wedding Venue!

We chose to have our wedding at The Boat House and could not have picked a better venue. The whole team were wonderful to work with and helped us achieve our vision for an intimate and stress free wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception at the Boat House and the setting was beautiful. The Boat House were able to accommodate our request for a fully vegetarian and vegan menu and the food was spectacular - definitely a highlight of the day and a hit with our guests.
