Wonderful location & venue!

The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing is a wonderful place to get married! They make it so easy, and straightforward and they really take care of their couples along the way. From our initial meeting with Bonnie to the wedding day with Alli, we had a wonderful experience.

We looked at several places but the Boathouse is unmatched if you're looking for a venue that offers both an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception, all in the city after daylight saving ends (our wedding was mid-November). The skyline and view of the James are perfection.

I loved that the pricing was clear from day one- it's all right on their website for browsing before even speaking to anyone! We toured so many places that I thought we could save money here or there- but then the fine print would prove otherwise.

The Boathouse also offers so much in-house- from the coordinator (Alli), to the wait and bar staff, to the food and drinks, to their partnership with a vendor for linens, chairs, a dance floor, and various other rentals- you do not have to piece together a bunch of items from different vendors- Alli took care of all of it! And the convenience did not result in poor quality- the number of times I reached out to Alli about tablecloth covers must've been annoying- but she never made me feel like it was! She was always so easygoing and delightful to work with

When we arrived back at our hotel room we had to-go meals and wine waiting for us that Alli had packed up and sent with our day-of coordinator. It was such a nice treat after an incredible day! It really did go perfectly- my husband and I are so glad we went with the Boathouse and will have fond memories of our wedding day there forever!

Perfect Day!!

I can’t express how amazing our wedding day was! Alli and everyone At the boathouse made sure things went smoothly, and they were all side professional and so kind to our guests. The outdoor ceremony space was gorgeous and the indoor reception room was so intimate and special. Our guests are still raving about the food and overall how amazing the boathouse was! If you want a beautiful, fun, unforgettable, and stress free wedding this is the place. I would not change a thing about our day. Again, words cannot express how amazing Alli and her team were!!

The perfect venue

We had the most perfect experience at the Boathouse Rockett's Landing. From top to bottom, everything was SO easy and perfect down to the last detail. We honestly didn't stress for one second. The food packages were clear and the food was excellent. The bar was all inclusive per guest and manned by professional bartenders. Everything was taken care of for us, including any outside vendors we hired for the reception. We basically just showed up and had the perfect wedding. Alli was our day-of coordinator and I really can't thank her enough. She was easy to talk to, she was professional, she handled everything with absolute ease, and she even bustled my dress for me when my bridesmaids couldn't figure it out (while sending someone to get me a drink). If you're thinking about this place, do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. Amanda Arnold Photography took these photos, and I can't recommend her enough, either!
