A lovely cruise

The Belle of Louisville and our coordinator Diane made our wedding magical. The venue was one of a kind. The slow cruise up the river and back at sunset was a much enjoyed break from the dance party which was a absolute success. Diane guided us to most affordable and positively reviewed vendors and we were not disappointed. Our wedding was exactly as we wanted it and while we never want to get remarried, if we had to do it again I don't think we could do better. Thank you Belle of louisville and staff for making our wedding day so perfect. - Roger and Amy

Son’s wedding

Briefly, I wasn’t sure if the Belle was a good choice. In the end, we had about 125 guests, and it was extremely memorable for all the right reasons. Diane is a very competent planner. Would not hesitate to do it again on the Belle. And…Everyone will remember the venue! Home run!

This was the best wedding ever!! Diane, the wedding coordinator, is absolutely spectacular! She listens to what you want and makes suggestions to make it even better. If I had to do this again, I wouldn't change one thing! The entire staff was wonderful! I recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding, family reunion, or any event! Thank you all for making my daughter's day spectacular!!

Perfect All Around!

The Belle of Louisville is a beautiful place to have your wedding. I did the ceremony and reception with the boat actively cruising. It was a one of a kind wedding. Exactly what I was looking for. But to top it off, the wedding coordinator Diane Eisenback was the best. She did everything and more than I expected. She was there for me before, during, and then after the wedding too. I would highly reccomend the Belle and Diane for your wedding day!

Unique venue with top tier service

I love doing events on the Belle of Louisville and the Mary Miller. These venues offer a unique experience, there is just something special about a ceremony on the river and a reception cruise. Diane is always a pleasure to work with, her detailed itineraries and day of professionalism are tops in the industry. I will continue to refer my clients to Diane and these beautiful venues, without hesitation.

Diane and the crew of the Belle of Louisville were great! Diane was very helpful in the last minute situation.

Diane and Caption Doty were great. They made the day very memorable and provided a very custom service for our special day. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much.
