"We booked our wedding location at The Boathouse in Palm Beach. From the beginning (first meetings and the reception), we felt very welcome and relaxed because of the great team of the Boathouse and of course because of the quite and beautiful location. On our wedding night, we experienced professional service, very tasty food, and even extra wishes like fries for the kids were not a problem at all. All the decorations like lanterns and flowers looked so amazing, we were very happy to celebrate our wedding at the Boathouse and can highly recommend it!" — Franziska H.

We find that the bathroom facilities are sufficient for our events.

November 2020

The food and cake were amazing. The entire layout over the duration of our event was well planned. In fact to ensure zero wastage the tram have us well packed boxes of all the left overs.

October 2020

We originally booked with the Boathouse as we wanted a stand-up, relaxed wedding. Due to COVID, our original vision had to change and we had to have a sit-down wedding. The venue adapted extremely well considering they normally do not host sit down weddings for our guest number. They hired in tables, seating etc.. and arranged the table settings/place cards to take the stress away from us. Whilst it was a sit-down wedding, the night still had a relaxed vibe and the atmosphere was great. This was due to the service, entertainment and the layout/feel of the venue. COVID is not going to go away anytime soon and life needs to go on. We highly recommend adapting and making the most of the day.
