About

For me hosting, entertaining, and looking after people is a lifestyle. Whether it’s hosting just a few friends at my house or hosting your whole family and friends at my restaurant, the ethos is the same – hospitality! I am passionate about service; I think it makes a significant difference to the quality of the experience when guests feel like they have been well taken care of. The team I build to run the restaurant and our weddings has this mantra at its core.

Wow! The Boat House were magnificent. Their attention to detail was superb. Their staff provided a supreme level of service. Nothing was left to chance. All our guests told us how much they enjoyed the wedding. Many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

We can't rate the Boat House highly enough for an unforgettable wedding ceremony and reception. The functions team were a pleasure to coordinate with, nothing was too much trouble. Then the day went perfectly. Great food and drinks, and the waiters and waitresses were lovely to our guests. We got a lot compliments from friends and family about how good the reception service was. 10/10

We are so glad we chose The Boat House for our wedding reception venue - we cannot fault our experience! From the outset, James was incredibly experienced and professional, guiding us through options, set ups, schedules and even alternative arrangements depending on changing Covid-19 restrictions. He made us feel like valued customers from the beginning, even though The Boat House is a venue that is in high-demand regardless. The reception itself went off without a hitch - the food was exceptional, the service was perfect, everything went according to our planned schedule and the staff were flexible during our pack up. Our guests are still raving about The Boat House and how it never disappoints. In addition to all of the above, the location of this venue is just beautiful, even on a rainy day! We highly recommend The Boat House to future couples considering it as an option.

We are so glad we chose The Boat House for our wedding venue! From the very beginning the entire process was well-organised, even with managing a postponement thanks to COVID. We went with a cocktail reception and this certainly did not disappoint! We received so many compliments from our guests on the night about the incredible food, the venue, and the attentive and generous staff. Everything went smoothly which meant we could focus on enjoying our night, and we had the best time. Highly recommend The Boat House as an amazing wedding venue in Canberra!
