It was the most beautiful venue and the day went more perfectly than we had imagined. Before the day everyone we spoke to were amazing, they answered every question and helped us to plan our day perfectly. On the day we were amazed how seamless everything went; we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Our guests even commented how perfect everything went and it was all thanks to Paula, Michelle and Aki and his amazing team. The venue was set up so beautifully and everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food was amazing! So many guests commented how delicious it was, just spectacular . I’ve already recommended the boathouse to friends for their wedding, we were so blessed to have such a beautiful venue and amazing people coordinating our day! we are unbelievably thankful.

All we can say is Wow!! What an absolutely fabulous wedding we had.

The Boat House looked so stunning! Everyone commented on what a truly beautiful spot it was, how relaxed and easy the place was.

You both worked so hard to make our day just what we wanted and honestly it exceeded our expectations. The set up was so easy. Monique and her husband who set all our things up had only fabulous feedback and said Sally was wonderful.

The small things really blew Morné and I away. Having a drink ready right after the ceremony. Keeping aside some canapes so we didn’t miss out during photos. And Morné and I loved how one of your staff members in particular made sure we always had a drink if needed.

Sally you were so easy and made sure the night was perfect. Deb all your hard work right up to the day was so appreciated. Nothing ever felt like it wasn’t achievable whilst at the same time you made sure you only said yes if it was possible.

We loved every minute of the night and are loving being married.

Thanks so much
— Olivia and Morné Nel
