    Beautiful venue

    The boat house is an absolutely stunning place to have your wedding. We got tons of compliments on it. We loved having our wedding here.

    Just stunning!

    I agree with other comments saying that this venue is underrated! The boathouse was absolutely beautiful and easy to work with (yes, even though you have to pick outside catering!). I was afraid that an outdoor ceremony would be too loud with cars driving by but went with it anyway because of the view. I felt there were no issues at all!

    Beautiful venue, accommodating and responsive event supervisor

    What a beautiful venue for our January 7th 2022 wedding, perfect backdrop with the freshly fallen snow and gorgeous sunset and the Philly skyline! Wonderful space inside including a bridal suite! Kristen and other CC Boathouse staff were very responsive during the planning process up to and including the day of the event! Definitely recommend this venue, winter spring summer or fall, beautiful inside and out!

    Perfect! The best venue for a ceremony and reception!

    As soon as I walked in the ballroom I knew we were getting married at the Boathouse! The entire building inside and out is absolutely beautiful! They have the best locations for pictures, a beautiful area for your ceremony and the prettiest ballroom I have ever been in! Everyone there was so nice and helpful and our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

    Amazing space & great staff!

    This was one of the first venues we looked at for our wedding and fell in love with it immediately. It's such a gorgeous space right on the river and the lighting inside is wonderful! The staff was super helpful and answered the millions of questions I had clearly and in a timely manner. I'm so happy we chose the boathouse and would definitely recommend it!

    Beautiful Venue at a reasonable price

    After looking through a bunch of different venues we came across this place for our wedding. We fell in love with it right away. It has a large spacious ballroom with a beautiful balcony that overlooks cooper river. All of this for a very reasonable price. The grounds were great for pictures and the staff were great.

    Beautiful Summer Wedding

    Perfect venue for a summer wedding. It provides many different background for pictures. And guest are able to enjoy the inside of the venue as well as the outside. I just had my ceremony and reception here at the Boathouse on June 8, 2019. We were blessed with perfect weather. Our pictures came out stunning. Our guest are still talking about the venue. We loved it. This was the only venue I looked at and fell in love. Thanks for having us!

    Perfect location, wonderful staff

    We had an amazing experience with this venue. The location is so convenient, not only since it is close to lots of major highways and right across the Ben Franklin Bridge from Philadelphia, but also is convenient to many affordable hotels. The spaces inside and outside are incredible, and between the Cooper River Park immediately adjacent and the Philadelphia skyline in the distance, the views are breathtaking. We were able to hold our ceremony on-site, outside, however if it had been inside it would have been just as lovely given the newly renovated space inside. The staff were incredible, answered all of our questions thoroughly and promptly, and took away all of the stress of planning a wedding from a few states away. We will definitely recommend this space to all of our family and friends!

    I am a Philadelphia bride, but looked into New Jersey for my wedding venue, as it is a beautiful state to get married in. When I first visited the Camden County Boathouse, I knew I did not have to search any further for my wedding venue. It is a one-of-a kind venue with beautiful park grounds along side the Cooper River, and breathtaking views from the boathouse deck, with modern/contemporary design. I could have not picked a more perfect place to celebrate the most important day of my life. Talk about an elegant affair! My guests were in awe of the venue and decor I had set up throughout the venue. The price is excellent, super convenient that the boathouse provides uplighting for a nominal cost, and a huge bonus that BYO liquor is permitted, which saved us $$. Thanks to Kristen for answering my many questions, and a big thanks to all the staff that contributed to our special day. This bride and groom could not be more happier with the perfect outcome of our wedding day!

    The Camden County Boathouse was the perfect place for my daughter’s wedding reception on July 7, 2018. Kristen was extremely helpful and answered our hundreds of questions. The security detail the night of the reception were pleasant to all of our guests. We had a wonderful evening there!!

    I just got married at the Boathouse on 9/4/16 and it was the perfect venue for us! The views are absolutely beautiful and cocktail hour on the wrap around deck was my favorite! Jeannette was wonderful to work with, quick to answer any and all of my questions, and she was just super helpful through the whole process. I'd have my wedding there again a million times over, everyone raved about the venue and the best part is it's affordable!

    We had our wedding at the Camden County Boathouse on July 9th, 2016 and it was absolutely PERFECT!

    My husband and I saw pictures of the Boathouse online after a recommendation from a friend, and we went to tour it.....it was the first and last venue we toured because we instantly fell in love with it! We loved the modern look of the outside, the view of the river, the beautiful deck off of the dining area, the ample parking (we were allowed to park in the business center across the street since it was a Saturday and it was closed).

    We chose to go with an indoor ceremony (thankfully, since it was sprinkling that day). The wooden window blinds provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and we had nothing but compliments from our guests about the ambiance. The boathouse had also gone through some upgrades which made the night even better - the bridal suite was upgraded to include a few pieces of beautiful furniture for our wedding party to relax in (no more conference table) and the bar area was redone so that there was an entrance from the dining area. It was perfect! They also recently acquired uplighting, and were able to offer it to us at a lower price than our DJ. Bonus!

    The staff at the Boathouse was also phenomenal - I worked with Jeannette throughout the process of visiting, booking, paying for the space (the online payment system is very convenient), and the wedding. She was incredibly responsive via email and patiently answered my seemingly endless list of questions! She worked with me to schedule two rehearsals (officiant scheduling issue), and was always accommodating when it came to my busy teaching schedule. She also allowed us to drop off decorations and non-refrigerated items the day before so there wasn't as much to think about the day of. On the big day, Erin and Heather manned the front desk, answered questions, and helped direct guests throughout the night.

    If we could do it over, we would choose the Boathouse again in a heartbeat!

    The Camden County Boathouse was a gorgeous venue. We saw it online first and then went to see it in person-- and it was stunning. It was the perfect fit for our wedding. We were married in a private beach ceremony and then had the reception about 4 weeks later with our extended family and friends-- and everyone loved the venue and the boat/nautical theme really worked for our vision). The inside has a great layout and is beautiful, but also the large deck/balcony was perfect! Such nice views. The entire time we were planning the reception, the woman I was in contact with there (Jeannette) was so accommodating and helpful. She answered my emails so quickly and definitely put my mind at ease (especially since I had 100 different things on my mind at once with all the planning). I would recommend this venue to everyone!

    First time using this venue. What a wonderful choice! The facilities are very conducive for partying and celebrating. Guests get to enjoy a large porch attached to the ballroom that overlooks the river. Working with Jeanette was a pleasure. You will need to purchase liability insurance. It's not expensive and worth it to have the venue. Want a Saturday night? Book early!

    The Boathouse is SO beautiful! The venue is true to the pictures and the views really are picture-esque, rain or shine. I got married there in April 2016 and the guests RAVED about how gorgeous of a place it is.
    There are multiple ways to set up the venue for the ceremony and reception, with outdoor and indoor options. The people managing booking are very friendly and accommodating, as well as quick to respond when I've had questions. Would definitely recommend!

    We used the CCBH for our reception venue. It was a great little space that initially concerned me because for the amount of people that we expected, it would have been a very tight fit (we expected 210 people); however due to family backing out, we ended up having about 16 tables of 10-12 people, and it was perfect. The only complaint I have is the the room is sort of shaped like an "H"; the middle part is the dance floor, which is where the sweetheart table was and the ceiling is lower, so it just looks awkward. The top of the "H" is where I put our parents at, because they were closest to the sweetheart table, its alot further back then it looks so our parents didn't get to see us because they were so much further back.

    We just had our wedding at the Boathouse on the 30th of October. I couldn't be happier we chose this venue! Everything was absolutely gorgeous. Jeannette Torres & the rest of the staff were great. Very attentive to our every need. The land surrounding the boathouse at the time of our wedding was PERFECT! Our ceremony was inside & the view overlooking the cooper river was beautiful.

    Camden County Boathouse at Cooper River's reply:

    Everything was beautiful and we can't wait to see photos! You truly had a gorgeous day. Thank you for choosing the Boathouse to host your wedding and we hope you have made priceless memories to last a life time! Best wishes- Jeannette & Elaine

    We had our wedding on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at the Camden County Boathouse and we would not have wanted it anywhere else! From the very beginning the staff at the Boathouse was very nice and was always there to answer any questions we had. Jeannette and Elaine made us feel at ease during the crazy planning days that come with planning a wedding. I’m very grateful that when we booked the Boathouse in November of 2014, they gave us a heads up that there would be dredging on the river and therefore were giving a small discount on the venue during the fall 2015. Lucky for us the dredging happened to be at the other end of the river the day of our wedding and it did not ruin any of the beautiful picture opportunities at the Boathouse. We had our ceremony off site but we did not want to pass up the opportunity to get pictures at the Boathouse. When sunset came we went up to the third floor balcony and got some amazing shots in front of the Philadelphia skyline. We also went out on the docks and got amazing pictures by the water. A little later in the night we went out on the pavement and got awesome pictures in front of the boathouse with sparklers which Jeannette and Elaine kindly gave us permission to use as long as we cleaned up the used sticks. Two days before the wedding, Jeannette and Elaine allowed us to bring all our decorations to the boathouse to store them in their office until Saturday. This was a huge help to us and allowed us to relax a little more on the wedding day rather than worrying about getting all the decorations there that morning. The interior decorations in the hall fit perfectly with our laid back rustic themed wedding and the extra side rooms were great for our photo booth and a room for the bridal party to throw all their belongings. Up to this day, when we see our family and friends again we continue to get complements on how beautiful and perfect the venue was. Thank you Camden County Boathouse for a PHENOMENAL WEDDING VENUE
