Perfect venue and Amazing Coordinator!
•Verified review
•Michael H.•Aug 17, 2025
The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the team was prompt, understanding, and engaging throughout the entire planning process. Alli, our wedding coordinator, was amazing and really helped bring our vision to life. The quality of their work and value was top-notch - the food was delicious, and the staff was awesome in ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage. Highly recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing for any couple looking for an amazing wedding experience.

We held our rehearsal dinner here and everything was absolutely perfect! The highlights of the evening were Eddie, the on-site manager, the exceptional waitstaff (huge shout out to Courtney!), as well as the incredible food (pls put the ham biscuits and fried green tomatoes on the main menu, lol). The whole event went super smoothly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others who want to host an event.
