It's difficult to find the words to explain how amazing The Boathouse made our wedding reception! The staff, particularly Alli, were extremely responsive and took care of everything without issue. Our guests said the food was the best meal they have ever had at a wedding. The ambiance was incredible and everything turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing for any event!

We had our ceremony and reception at Rocketts Landing. I will say, everything was more than we could have hoped for. From the pre planning to the day of, everything was so organized. The staff are super friendly and made us feel so welcome. I highly recommend this group to host anyone’s big day! You won’t be disappointed as our guests complimented the staffs attentiveness and friendly smiles.

Thank you to everyone who made our big day better than perfect!

Our initial reasons for choosing the Boathouse at Rocket's Landing was for the river, views, and food. What we experienced on the wedding day was so much more. The food was exceptional, the staff went out of their way to make this day so special and if it weren't for Alli (our on-site coordinator) I wouldn't have enjoyed myself as much as I did. Our day saw sunshine, rain, sleet, and snow and the Boathouse rose to all the challenges that presented and rose to the top of their game. It was an exceptional experience and far exceeded our expectations.
