Boat Wedding Venues in Albany

When my son and his fiance decided to get married in Lake George, NY, I panicked. As parents of the groom, we were responsible for the rehearsal dinner and, looking at our options, it seemed there were very few places that could accommodate our anticipated numbers. Then I came across the Lake George Steamboat Company. My first response was, "What a great idea!" The more I looked into it, the more appealing it became. Their staff was extremely responsive, sending their party information and helping us settle on seating in the general population with reserved tables (rather than one of their private areas). Every time I sent a check for the installments I received back a receipt with a photocopy of the check. Any time there was a question, I received an immediate answer. When, a couple of weeks before the wedding weekend, it turned out that our confirmed numbers for the dinner were lower than we anticipated, I called to see if it would be possible to move our party to the appropriate private area. The anwer was "yes." The afternoon of the rehearsal dinner, I was met at the dock with a table holding a sign with our last names on it, an envelope with the tickets to disburse, and all sorts of friendly staff faces willing to help out, especially when someone needed an extra seat while waiting for their family to park. As for the cruise, the food was great -- beyond my expectations. When my husband wanted to make a speech welcoming everyone, they turned off the speakers in our area so he could be heard. The idea of a rehearsal dinner on a steamboat was perfect for both adults and children. It was fun, interesting, and different. Highly recommended!

Having our reception on the horicon was the best decision I made. The food was amazing the staff was attentive and personable. Capitan bob is awesome. Claire was on top of things. Her responses to our questions were quick and clear and She personally saw to the logistics of our trip. The entire experience from my first phone call with Claire to stepping back onto shore was exceptional. I cannot thank them enough for our beautiful trip

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Jen the coordinator made our wedding day incredible! Right from the first phone call inquiring about the boat to the night I was walking off the boat in my wedding dress, she and the staff made my day PERFECT! Jen was so very helpful throughout the whole planning process. Always availble to speak to, or meet with. Everything she said would be, was! The food was amazing, my guests are still raving about it. The cake was exceeded my expectations, and the service of all the staff was more than I could have asked for. The DJ provided was great, played everything I asked him to, and took requests from my guests. You cannot beat the price!!! You get it all with JP. Food, music, bar, cake, linens, exceptional staff and an awesome party! The main thing I heard from my guests before the wedding was how different our venue was, they thought the idea of having it on a boat was such a unique idea. As my guests were leaving they all said the same thing, what a great party it was, not your typical stuffy wedding. Everyone had a blast and wonderful memories were made. I invisioned my wedding day since I was a little girl, and JP really did make my dream come true.

Owners Hal and Erin were beyond fantastic for our big day. The weather was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting for our ceremony! Hal and Erin are beyond personable and make you feel right at home! An exceptional business, owned/operated by a great family! We wish we could do it all over again!
