Amazing staff and music

My husband and I had our reception on the Tennessee Riverboat on the evening of 10/28/22. The food was great, the service was excellent, and Kim (event coordinator) was extremely helpful. When I planned the reception I was told there was a DJ, but that evening they had a band Wasted Major. The band was extremely lively and knew how to keep the audience dancing. I definitely would recommend the Tennessee Riverboat Company.
