The Wedding of F and M

Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant was an excellent choice for my daughter's wedding lunch. The service we received in planning and on the day of the event was excellent. The food was outstanding. Of course any West Michigan event is extra special when you have a lovely waterview. I would recommend Boatwerks for any special event.

With Boatwerks you cannot go wrong. They have a professional staff that can meet all of your needs. I attended a charity function (Humane Society) at their venue and we had spectacular food that was over the top. The room was gorgeous. I own my own event center and will be utilizing Boatwerks as one of our preferred caterers in the near future.
