Convenient, Beautiful, and Beyond Professional!

The Boathouse was such an incredible venue! It was the clear choice for us and was beyond convenient since EVERYTHING was included! They handle everything from linens and food to tables and chairs and even throw in a day of coordinator (Alli) who is absolutely incredible. Bonnie (sales) walked us through options and pricing and everything was transparent from the jump. Alli brought our dream wedding to life, and displayed professionalism every step of the way paying attention to details such as making sure we had a drink in our hand when we needed one and kept us operating on the timeline we wanted to be on. The whole experience was 10/10.

Casa Del Barco Wedding Reception

We chose Casa Del Barco for our wedding reception and it was perfect. Kristin and Laura made the whole experience absolutely seamless. From the planning process, to day of we had a blast. The restaurant was the perfect reception space, we had room for a DJ and a band and our guests loved it! The venue itself has so much character, it made the vibe of the night so fun. It was great to be able to take more picture outside of the restaurant and get the vibe of the city. We absolutely recommend the space for any wedding / wedding reception!

Incredible Service

Our wedding at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing was an absolute dream come true. The venue provided a stunning backdrop that truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. Despite the brutal heat wave, the entire day was perfect.

The food served was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, leaving a lasting impression on our guests. Many guests raved about how good the food was! Ali made the planning process so easy and straight forward. We were particularly impressed with the seamless communication and the attention to detail shown by The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing team throughout the entire evening.

We truly felt heard and understood, resulting in a day that felt personalized and tailored to our vision. The dedication of the staff in making our day perfect did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing to any couple looking for a picturesque and attentive wedding venue.

Ali was truly so incredible, my husband and I never needed to ask questions day of, because Ali was steps ahead of us anticipating it all. On top of that Ali handed me water several times throughout the ceremony and pictures, which was so truly appreciated given the heat! My MOH asked if she worked events outside of the boathouse bc she wanted to hire her herself!!
