“Choosing The Boat House at Riverhead as our venue was the best investment we made.
The setting, the food, the layout—it was everything we wanted. Even our friends and guests commented afterwards on how incredible the venue was.
We couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to get married.”
“We would like to thank you and your teams help with our wedding day. Amazing food, venue and service, including helping out with our leaning wedding cake.

“We are so grateful to you all and the staff for a fabulous wedding we honestly had the best day/night and all of our friends and family have said what a beautiful venue and how amazing you all were. We can’t thank you enough!”
“I just wanted to send you an email now the madness is all over.
You and the team including Liv and Georgia on the day have been the most amazing team to deal with. They day went so smoothly and bar the wind destroying my seating chart lol it was everything we could have wanted it to be.
The team was fantastic on the morning of the set up!!
The food was exceptional. The canapés were phenomenal (churros were a success), the dinner was so delicious with the whole sirloin cooked to a perfect medium rare and desserts and late night snack were equally of high praise!!!
I can’t believe our bar tab lasted the night lol!!!! Especially with that many poms and scots attending!!
And lastly to Grant, you have been the most wonderful, kind and calming influence on our whole experience. From the first day you were engaging and insightful and we felt so comfortable in your hands. The fact you came on your day off to check in and then take down the umbrellas before they took off was just the most amazing way to make us feel special. You my friend, are a large part of why we chose the Boathouse as our venue. I hope the owners know what a remarkable man they have working for them and we will be recommending you all to anyone who will listen!!””
