    We had the most amazing wedding experience and couldn’t be happier with the venue and catering. The space was beautiful and felt welcoming from the moment we arrived — it was the perfect setting for celebrating with our favorite people. The food was incredible and such a hit with our guests. Everything tasted great, looked amazing, and was served smoothly throughout the night. We received so many compliments, and people are still talking about how good the food was. The team was friendly, organized, and easy to work with, which made the whole day feel effortless. Knowing everything was in good hands allowed us to relax and really enjoy every moment. We’re so grateful for such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend this venue and catering to anyone planning a wedding.

    The Boathouse was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The ceremony on the deck overlooking the rivers with downtown Columbus as a backdrop was an incredible setting! For the reception, the floor to ceiling windows in the Olentangy Room displayed a similar view with the added feature of an illuminated downtown in the evening. The management staff , Edward and Kelsey were wonderful. They were easy to communicate with and addressed all questions and any concerns I had. The staff working the event were fabulous too. They were all very friendly and personable and really helped make this anxious mother feel things were in good hands. Thank you all for your hard work Edward, Kelsey, TT, Kevina, Brandy, Maya and David. Also, I have to mention that the food was amazing! Salmon and steak were served. The salmon and accompanying sauce were so favorable and the beef was the most tender I’ve had since dining at my favorite steak restaurant in Texas. It honestly was the most delicious food I’ve ever had at a wedding. I definitely am looking forward to dining in the restaurant portion in the future. I believe the bride and groom and all guests felt it was an elegant, yet unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere. Perhaps a bit biased, but my husband said it was the most enjoyable wedding he had ever been to.
