Unforgettable Evening

I can't recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing enough for a wedding reception! Our experience was absolutely perfect. Alli, our coordinator, was a true gem—she was incredibly professional, attentive, and her calming presence made the planning process so much easier. She made sure that we had everything that we needed during our big day. She made sure we had a late night snack to take away too!! Alli checked on us throughout the whole night to make we had time to eat and enjoy our wedding reception! Her attentiveness allowed us to take in the incredible evening.

The food was fantastic, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The venue itself is stunning, right on the river with breathtaking views of the city. It created the perfect backdrop for our special day. If you’re looking for a beautiful setting and exceptional service, this is the place to be!

Incredible late fall venue

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing as our wedding venue! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking, with stunning waterfront views that set the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, especially the sunset during cocktail hour. It’s truly a dream setting for any couple looking to celebrate their big day.
A special shoutout to Alli, our amazing coordinator! She was professional, organized, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Alli listened to our ideas and gave us the freedom to be creative while still offering expert advice to ensure everything came together seamlessly. Her calm demeanor and attention to detail made the day run so smoothly that we could fully relax and enjoy every moment.
One of the best parts about The Boathouse is how much is included with the venue. From tables and chairs to linens and dinnerware, they provide just about everything you need, which makes planning so much easier. Having so many essentials taken care of meant we could focus on the fun, creative details that made the day uniquely ours.
If you’re looking for a venue that’s as flexible and supportive as it is stunning, The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing is the place to go. We highly recommend it to any couple looking to create a truly memorable and one-of-a-kind wedding day!
