    Dream Venue from a Vendors POV

    I want to start this review by saying I am not a groom, or past couple. I am a wedding DJ, who has worked here several times. Each time it has been a 10/10 wedding. The staff really do a great job of crushing it and I have no freaking idea what is happening in that kitchen but dammit that salmon was so good.

    The dance floor is on the smaller side which makes packing it so much easier and ensures every party is fun and intimate. I've never seen a bad wedding here, and I attribute a lot of that success to how awesome the venue and staff are. From a DJ's perspective, it's a great venue and Kate is so amazing at making sure things stay on track and happen as you envisioned them!

    If they have your desired date open, jump on this place! You won't regret the weekend full of memories you'll gain.

    A dream come true

    Everyone at the boathouse and the Cresthaven lodges were accommodating to ensure we had a perfect wedding and wedding weekend. We cannot thank your team enough for everything you have done for us. The food was phenomenal. I was worried that 130 people would be tight in the venue but I assure you that if you have a large party it will work out amazing. Don't hesitate to pick this venue because everything was honestly perfect!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear you were so happy with your wedding day. It was a pleasure working with you and you were such a fun group! Best wishes to you both!

    Great experience!

    This venue was fantastic from start to finish. Jayne was always very responsive and helpful with her responses. They worked well with my Wedding Planner and paid attention to details. The venue was set up beautifully for reception. I will note that this venue is ideal for around 100 guests if you still want good floor space for dancing and to have everyone on the same floor level (as opposed to being split between the dining room and space downstairs).

    If you’re looking for a reasonably priced venue with good food and amazing views of Lake George, I strongly recommend booking The Boathouse!

    Best wedding week ever!

    The Boathouse Restaurant and Lodges was the most beautiful place to have our wedding! We booked our destination wedding without ever visiting Lake George. The staff was so helpful in answering all our questions, suggesting vendors and coordinating with the wedding planner so everything would be perfect. The food was amazing and the bar had an excellent selection of craft beer and drinks. Our family and us stayed at the lodges for an extended weekend and had the best time utilizing the amazing pool, hot tub and amenities. We cannot wait to go back to stay for vacation and eat at the boathouse restaurant.

    Absolutely love the Boathouse Restaurant & Lodges at Cresthaven!!

    Our wedding at the boathouse was absolutely amazing! You can’t beat the unique boathouse venue with the beautiful Lake George as your backdrop. Many of our guests stayed in the lodges. Everyone raved about how beautiful the venue and accommodations were, how delicious the food was, and how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Everyone also loved all the amenities- the pool, the hot tub, bonfire, etc! Jayne is wonderful to work with- so professional, responsive, and extremely helpful throughout the planning process. I’m so happy we picked the boathouse to have our wedding at, I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you so much for everything!

    The Boathouse gave us the best day ever!

    We always knew we wanted to get married in Lake George (even before I met my husband). The Boathouse was the only location that checked every box - affordable, ceremony spot overlooking the lake, responsive on-site contact, and most importantly during COVID as well as to provide the best experience possible - a very large venue with multiple places to go! The thing we (and our guests) loved most about the Boathouse was you could be out in the gazebo overlooking the lake, on the docks, on the beach, at our s’mores bonfire, at the outdoor bar… the options were limitless and our guests took full advantage.

    We knew we loved the amenities at the boathouse, but the staff went above and beyond. No matter what we threw at them or requested, they responded immediately with professionalism and kindness. They found me a ton of lighters when we had none for our sparklers, were attentive about making sure we got appetizers to our table while we were on our unforgettable hackercraft cruise, they cleaned and boxed everything we needed at the end of the night… I could not have asked for more - they did everything so we could sit back and enjoy! Booking the boathouse for our wedding was the best decision we could have made, and I have to personally thank Jayne for answering every email with kindness, flexibility and in a timely manner!

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you throughout the planning process and we are so pleased to hear that you were so happy with our services. Thank you for choosing The Boathouse! We wish you both our very best!

    Incredible Venue with Incredible Views and Service

    Due to COVID-19, 50 days out from our wedding date, we decided to change the location of our wedding to be closer to family to make it safer. Now that we had a guest count that fit, we were thrilled to be able to go back to our original pick which was The Boathouse Restaurant & The Lodges at Cresthaven. Jayne and Dan were lifesavers and joy to work with! They helped us plan our wedding ceremony and small reception in 50 days. They were attentive and beyond accommodating. Jayne is incredibly responsive and answered all my questions. Dan customized a menu to fit our budget and needs. But on top of that, they allowed us the opportunity to create the wedding we always wanted while keeping our 28 guests safe. State regulations did not allow dancing so we only had a meal. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, everyone was spaced out, and all the staff had masks and gloves. Our guests are still talking about the breath taking views, delicious food, and just how perfect the venue was overall. Saying our vows in front of a picturesque view that to this day doesn’t seem real, was a dream come true. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and will definitely be going back to The Lodges at Cresthaven for a vacation when everything is back to normal!

    Incredible

    If I could do it all over again, I'd still choose The Boathouse Restaurant. It was absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on the venue, food and views! Our guests couldn't believe how perfect our wedding was. Everyone was so accommodating. Thank you so much to Jayne, Dan and The Boathouse Restaurant staff!

    A perfect wedding reception!

    My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at The Boathouse Restaurant, and many of our guests stayed at The Lodges at Cresthaven. Everything about the experience and the reception exceeded our expectations! Jayne was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process- she patiently answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our requests. The Boathouse staff was phenomenal on our wedding day- our guests raved about the level of service from the bartenders, waitstaff and the quality (and quantity!) of the food! Additionally, the views from the venue are incredible and The Boathouse gave us the exact "feeling" that we wanted from our reception- a fun, rustic lake vibe but with high quality food, service, and amenities. Many of our guests remarked that this was the best wedding that they had ever been to! Our guests loved staying in the lodges, which were absolutely beautiful as well. For the few guests who stayed at a different hotel, the shuttle transport to and from the reception (which was included with the reception) worked out well too. My husband and I still can't get over how perfect the day was- from the planning process, to the location, food, service and fun- we wish that we could do it all over again! Thank you Jayne, Dan and staff for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    Absolutely amazing! Nowhere we would recommend more for your special day (weekend!)

    It is hard to know where to even start! Every part of our wedding was more perfect than we could have ever dreamed of and much of that is because of the impeccable service from everyone at both The Boathouse and The Lodges at Cresthaven. We were fortunate to have many of our family and friends spend the ‘wedding weekend’ with us and every single person raved about EVERYTHING. The lodges were absolutely stunning, the customer service from everyone was top notch, the food was delicious, and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Even our stress level leading up to the wedding was minimized because of Jayne (and Dan!) and her awesome team – they helped with everything. The venue was so perfect for our wedding. Not only that, but the pool, the playground, the beach for our fire pit, the hot tub, and even the conference room – we used it ALL and it was all perfect. It has been 6 months now and our friends and family (and us ) are still talking about what a great time they had. To say it was a weekend we will never forget is an understatement and it we truly believe that it was because of everyone at The Boathouse and The Lodges. There is no place we would recommend more and we can’t speak about it highly enough. To say we recommend this as a place for you to get married is a vast understatement, it blew our dreams away.

    Hi Stevie,

    Wow! This feedback is literally why we do what we do! It was truly a pleasure to work with you and are so happy that your wedding day was everything that you expected and more. Thank you for choosing The Boathouse for your most special day!!

    Beautiful rehearsal dinner

    We had our rehearsal dinner on the first floor of the Boathouse at the Lodges at Cresthaven and they did a wonderful job! (check out the 3D tour to make sure you're looking at the right floor if you're doing a smaller event like we were) The food was great, the servers were great and we even had a big bonfire on the beach with smores! Pictures on the docks at sunset (or any time we're sure) were gorgeous as well. Our coordinator Jayne was fantastic to work with and we would highly recommend that anyone host an event there!

    Beautiful restaurant and wedding venue!

    The Boathouse Restaurant is hands down the best spot on Lake George! The view is panoramic, the food is amazing, and the staff was so helpful. I was just married here and I am so glad I chose this venue. My guests are still talking about the food. It was the BEST prime rib I have ever had. I truly can’t say enough about this place and would highly recommend to anyone else. Thank you Boathouse for everything! 🤗

    The staff at the Lodges made our wedding weekend as stress free as they possibly could. Througout the planning process they were extremely responsive to our many requests and in tne end, EVERYTHING we asked for and more was done to allow us to enjoy our company. Furthermore, the property itself is amazing and provides you and your guests with everything you could need to relax and have a good time!

    Our wedding at The Boathouse Restaurant was better than we ever thought it could be! I came across the venue online and insisted we drive up to Lake George to see it. We had both the ceremony and reception there. Dan and Jayne were amazing to work with, they eased our minds with all our concerns and our day was perfect. We had 86 people and I think it was the perfect size. I was constantly concerned about the weather (cold, rain), we did not utilize the Gazibo seating, but you could have easily added 10 more seats if you wanted. We were still able to do our first dance, father/daughter and mother/son dance before dinner. Then after dinner we removed one table to have more dance space. It worked out perfectly. It gave us the intimate setting we wanted, yet enough space to have everyone dance! The food was fantastic and the Lodges at Cresthaven staff was great! Our guests and family were impressed with the staff and kept commenting on the amazing venue and scenery. Everyone wanted to know how we found this amazing place! All of our guests were out of town, anyone who stayed at the lodges had only positive things to stay. We utilized the Boathosue shuttle to accommodate guests that stayed offsite. I highly recommend this venue. We look forward to being able to go back to celebrate a future anniversary.

    We LOVED the property and staff at the Lodges at Cresthaven and Boathouse restaurant. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer! The property was gorgeous and unique, just what we were looking for our wedding. The food was delicious and Jayne was there to answer all of my questions along the way throughout the process.

    Our guests and family kept saying how perfect the venue and resort was and how special the weekend was. We cannot wait to go back for future anniversary and family trips!

    Our June wedding at the boathouse was perfect!! We had 75 people and the venue was the perfect size and felt so intimate. we loved that the boathouse was rustic but still very classy and well kept compared to many other lake side locations we saw which do not have the same attention to detail. Jayne and her team were amazing. Very responsive and we do not have enough good things to say about them!! The food was also great. We were a bit hesitant as the regular restaurant is quite causal but the wedding food was top notch and we received many compliments. The lodges were amazing and all our guests were very impressed. The shuttle service was also great for guests who lived in town already. Thank you boathouse for the perfect day!

    If you're considering a Lake George wedding, The Boathouse should be your primary focus. The setting, service and overall experience were incredible. From our initial visit on a frigid February day, Jayne and Dan were extremely accommodating. Jayne helped us manage every detail and provided great referrals for local vendors. Dan's hands on approach helped immensely during preparation and setup. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable.

    My husband and I got married at the boathouse 10/10/15- the foliage was beautiful and the views at this venue could not be more perfect. I was a very demanding bride and Jayne (their wedding coordinator) never seemed bothered by my very frequent emails. When Jayne didn't know how to answer a question she brought it straight to Dan (the owner) who was absolutely amazing and accommodated my every wish- including allowing my husband and I to do our first dance outside on the beach! I do wish Jayne was there on the actual wedding day as she is just absolutely wonderful. We had 115 people at our wedding and it was very cozy- I would not advised to book for a party any larger than that. Although we spent well over what our budget was- this venue was exactly us and we couldn't have found a more appropriate venue to help share our love story with our guests. The lodges are pricey but totally worth being able to look off your balcony and see your wedding being staged. I would recommend the boathouse develop a wedding package as many other venues offer such as offering groom and bride a cabin in the package, wedding cake etc. The venue was perfect, the food was delicious and Jayne and Dan were wonderful.

    I recently got married at the Boathouse restaurant & couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. Working with Dan & Jayne was a breeze...they accommodated everything we needed & were on top of every detail. All of our guests raved about the food, the attentive servers & the beautiful setting on the lake. A few of our guests stayed in the Lodges as well, which were convenient, comfortable and perfectly "woodsy" to give you that great ADK feel. As nervous as I was, it was such a laid back attitude that the wedding coordinators had, which made everything run perfectly smooth. It was a perfect day & I have no complaints..thanks so much to the Boathouse!

    I am so happy that my husband and I had our wedding here in October of 2014. This venue was an absolutely perfect setting for our family-oriented wedding. My husband's cousin, whom lives in California, asked us how we were able to book the Boathouse Restaurant on a holiday weekend. He thought that the Boathouse Restaurant was one of "the" places to have a wedding in Lake George and he was genuinely surprised when my husband explained that we had found the venue by looking at their website. The venue is absolutely beautiful! My husband and I visited the venue in January, when the restaurant is closed for the season. We feel in love right then and I could just picture our wedding there.

    Many of our guests have complimented us on our choice of a venue. The food was amazing, the set up was perfect and the staff were personable and professional. A groomsmen wanted a football game turned on in the bar area and the bartender would not turn it on unless I, the bride, said it was alright. That made me feel that everyone truly cared about our wedding and our satisfaction. The staff that day helped with that but Jayne, the wedding coordinator, and Dan, the restaurant manager, worked throughout the planning process to make the day perfect for us. Everything went smoothly, which I appreciated, and it seemed like we could get whatever we wanted. Jayne is so organized and really nails down the details. Everything we had spoken about went the way we had decided and Dan customized several things for our station menu option. We even had our rehearsal dinner at the Boathouse Restaurant which was made personal for us because we were given the entire downstairs area. We had a bonfire that night our guests had a great time. Our BBQ style dinner that night was soooo good (just like our wedding food)! I would highly recommend the Boathouse Restaurant as your wedding venue. I know your day and night will be amazing.

    This place was the absolute PERFECT venue for my rehearsal dinner. We got married next door at the Inn at Erlowest so we wanted to stay nearby and stick with the lake theme for our rehearsal dinner. A friend recommended this place and I am so grateful they did. The food was delicious, the service was terrific and the view was out of this world. They set out party of 35 up downstairs so we were completely separate from the rest of the restaurant. The downstairs area is at lake level so our guests were able to walk out on the docks for pictures and we had that view all night. The privacy allowed us to mingle, enjoy toasts and e as noisy as we wanted. We had a private bar set up downstairs and a buffet of absolutely delicious food. The price was extremely low considering how great everything tasted and what a special evening we all had. Highly recommend if you want a fun and laid back rehearsal dinner spot!

    We were married at The Boathouse and had a wonderful experience with the venue.

    It's a stunning property with a great view of Lake George, and the log-cabin-esque lodges are modern but rustic. There are lake activities, a half indoor / half outdoor pool, and a great playground for little ones. It's also extremely convenient for the guests to be able to stay at the Cresthaven Lodges (timeshare on property) for a long weekend and then attend the ceremony, reception, and next day brunch all at the same location (The Boathouse).

    I can't stress enough what a pleasure it was working with Dan, Jayne, and Janice, who were our contacts for planning the wedding. They were incredibly flexile and accommodating and worked with us to make our vision come to life well within our budget. They were incredibly helpful during set-up and the event itself as well. We were especially grateful to have their amazing team running the show as we tried to balance entertaining our guests with a number of last-minute changes of plans due some rainy weather* plus an allergic reaction that I had during the reception from eating a nut-filled granola bar right before I walked down the aisle (my own fault!). The entire staff was so kind, flexible, and attentive, and their ability to not only go with the flow but help reorganize the flow saved our wedding.
    (*It was really important to me to have a great rain plan when booking a venue since I didn't want to be stressing about the weather. Our ceremony took place on the covered dock right on the water and was beautiful and intimate.)

    In general, everything was so flawless and seamless - just absolutely perfect - but beyond that, there were also such nice unexpected
