Superb management and Staff!!

Sonya Siso and her staff, at the boathouse on Lake Mercer is absolutely superb! Five star in every category!! She ran circles around our wedding planner for my daughters wedding!! Completely flexible, communicative with immediate responses! She and her staff converted our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one due to weather without blinking an eye and it was absolutely just as wonderful as it would’ve been if not better!! Super accommodating staff. You absolutely do not need a wedding planner with Sonya and her staff, if you plan on taking care of all of the details leading up to two weeks out from the event.

Remig Wedding

Recently married at the boathouse! Incredible day & the entire process was amazing. Planning a wedding can become intense, but the boathouse allowed the process to be smooth, easy, & to the utmost perfection! Food, views, flexibility to work with me, & help was untouchable! Best day ever! All of my guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was & how delicious the food was! Sonya was a great help throughout! It rained a little 2 hours before the ceremony so Sonya did a later outdoor set up to allow the rain to pass, but still have us get married outside along the water which is what we really wanted. It was so amazing & a dream come true day!

Boathouse is everything !

The boot house truly met all of our expectations and more! The venue is absolutely stunning with beautiful water views. The food was top quality from start to finish. The service was extremely detailed and served in a perfect timely order. Everybody on staff was so kind and worked together so well. Sonya is the wedding coordinator and knows exactly how to get things done . They honestly couldn’t do enough for us. I would highly recommend this venue to any future couples , you will not be disappointed.
