We knew we had found our wedding venue as we were walking up to the River Queen. From our first conversation until we were walking away from our reception, Sharon and her crew were nothing short of fantastic! Sharon laid out a plan for the day that let us say our vows onboard, dance our first dance, eat fabulous food, and sail into the sunset! We carried the riverboat theme from our invites to our decor and even my 'riverboat gambler' attire. Planning with Sharon was simple and straightforward so we could focus on the many other intricacies for the perfect day. And perfect it was.! Melissa attended to our every need, removing that last bit of worry, allowing us to just enjoy our family and friends and the perfect weather! Everyone raved about the food and the service and I am happy to give the River Queen a 5-star rating!

The most relaxing and enjoyable wedding!
Every aspect of planning and execution was easy! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. I have had many friends/family tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was very relaxing and we had a gorgeous evening! I would definitely recommend the River Queen!

What a fantastic place for a wedding! Unique and special.
I have been entertaining events and weddings for over 15 years. One of my favorite experiences is the occasional wedding on the River Queen or River Belle. There is nothing quite like it... classic, comfortable, and a perfect balance for formal and casual. The staff is accommodating and fun, which helps the spirit of the day.
