You and your guests will dance beneath the stars....
enjoying exceptional cuisine and superb service as you cruise along the picturesque shorelines of the Manasquan & Metedeconk Rivers and the Barnegat Bay. Enjoy beautiful scenery and spectacular sunsets while cruising calm inland waters. Whether planning a quiet intimate affair or a lavish celebration, the crew of the River Queen & River Belle will make it an occasion to remember.
As a Disc Jockey, I have been to just about every hall in New Jersey. With that said, I can tell you that The River Queen and The River Belle are not your typical reception halls. The cruise and it's views will far surpass your expectations. Knowing the owners and staff for over 20 years, I promise you that they take the time to understand your wedding and will work to create a reception that you will remember for years to come.
In the summer of 2005, I was married and had my reception on the River Queen. The Bogan family and there professional staff made my special day go off flawlessly. From the planning phase to the end of the event, Sharon answered all my questions and made sure that evey detail was as I requested. Our cruise started at 5:00 pm, we shared a beautiful scenery and a stunning sunset with our quests. The food was plentiful and of the highest quality. We had 125 quests aboard and we had more than enough room for everyone to eat, drink, dance and be merry. A few of our quests were initially nervous about being on the water, but any nervousness was quickly dispelled as the protected waters made for smooth sailing. I highly recommend the River Queen and River Belle for any event. Rhonda ( Flowers By Rhonda )
