The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing

I used to live next door to Short Pump in Glen Allen-on-Richmond in the Innsbrook neighbourhood. Plus I went to college with Ms. Toth's mother at Radford University, and they are the finest people in the world! More...

The Boathouse was the perfect wedding venue for us, and we could not have had a better experience. Laura and the Boathouse staff were incredibly attentive and personally involved in making sure everything went perfectly. We loved the venue, to include the skyline view of Richmond and the accessible location. The food and drinks were exceptional, and Laura helped us to customize our menu. The Boathouse took care of the reception food, beverage, tables/linens, etc. and facilitated vendor set up for DJ, flowers, cake, etc. Thank you Boathouse for helping us to have a perfect day!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I have the Boathouse to thank for it. Planning was so easy because everything is right there. The day of Alli was so helpful and on top of everything. She made the day run smoothly for everyone involved. The food was amazing. We did stations and my family and friends have complimented so much about the food from the taste, to the serving, to the way it was set up. The venue is gorgeous and the water is perfect for a beautiful wedding day in Richmond. Thank you thank you everyone at the Boathouse for our perfect day! More...

I got married 6 months ago at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing and we had a wonderful experience from the initial meeting up until the wedding reception. We worked closely with our wedding coordinator, Alli Carney. She was so easy to work with and responded quickly to all of our questions. The day of the wedding reception, she made sure everything ran smoothly and was directly involved every step of the way. As the bride and the mother of the bride, we did not have to worry about one thing and Alli made sure we were taken care of and pleased with the service and overall experience.

The venue and service overall were perfect for a wedding. We had many people who attended comment on the beautiful venue and views. The food was perfect and many people commented on how delicious their meal was as well. The service overall, from Alli to the waiters to the bartenders, was more than we expected. Everyone was organized, friendly, and efficient.

We highly recommend this venue! More...

The Boathouse is hands down the best place to get married! Where do I start? Such a modern unique building right on the water, with excellent food and amazing wonderful people. Everything about the Boathouse was perfect. They are so good at doing weddings, they took all of the pressure off which was greatly appreciated. They were VERY quick to respond to my million emails throughout the entire process. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly thanks to the coordinator. I am so thankful for the Boathouse. They made my dream wedding come true. THANK YOU! More...

We chose The Boathouse at Rockett's Landing for our ceremony and reception venue for several reasons. The view of the city is amazing, we love the water, the food is always fantastic, and instead of coordinating all the little things such as linens, a caterer, servers, bartenders, chairs, tables, etc. , it's all there wrapped into one! This was especially important to me, and made the planning process easy. The venue also comes with Alli, the day of coordinator, but she is so much more than that! She guided us through the whole planning process with several meetings and countless emails, worked with us to make our vision come to reality and had great insight when we weren't sure how to proceed. Alli knew every detail of my wedding, set up the reception area with our extra decorations, ran the rehearsal, and made sure we were at ease. The day of went off without a hitch! The food was great, the service professional, set up was down to a science, and everything ran on time. Alli and her team made this happen! We cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was, and credit Alli and The Boathouse for all their hard work! More...

The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing was the perfect venue for our wedding – such a beautiful view of the Richmond skyline! We had our ceremony on the outside patio area, which was lovely. But, even if it happens to rain, having the ceremony inside is still fantastic due to the large windows, covered balcony area, and spacious reception room (including a huge bar). We worked with Alli Prato, who was incredible throughout the entire process. There are a lot of details that come with wedding planning, and Alli helped us make sure we didn’t forget anything. She always responded quickly to emails and was available any time for questions. Alli has a very calming presence, which is very helpful when planning inevitably gets a little stressful. Alli and her team were incredible on the day of our wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly and checked on us and our family members multiple times throughout the night. We were extremely happy with our experience at the Boathouse at Rocketts Landing and highly recommend it! More...

The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing, especially Alli Prato did an over the top job to ensure our wedding was as flawless as possible. Alli was easy to reach with questions or concerns and was present through the entire evening making sure we had all we needed. Every guest at our wedding told us how great everything was from the atmosphere to the food and drinks. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or cordinator and Alli deserves every accolade one can get! If you are considering the Boathouse, stop considering and just do it! You won’t be disappointed!

I cannot begin to say enough great things about Ali & her team. We planned our dream wedding taking place in Richmond, VA from where we currently live in Charlotte, NC. We were looking for a venue that was "very Richmond," as we both grew up there, met there, and fell in love there before relocating to NC. Our first time visiting it, and seeing the view and how it would look being married with the James River and city skyline as our backdrop, we were sold. The fact that the packages are all inclusive made it so easy. We couldn't constantly travel back and forth, and frequently had to contact Ali with questions, ans she was so quick to get back to us, and always had great suggestions and information for us.
Fast forward to the day of....we had family & friends travel from all over. Everything was so beautiful, so elegant, and just perfect. Ali was a fantastic coordinator. She even took care of little things, like holding my train as I first walked across the gravel so it didn't get in the dirt, grabbing us both drinks throughout the night, and even packing us a super generous package of food at the end of the night, since we didn't eat all day (and when I say generous, I mean enough to last us for days!)
We had so many compliments from everyone about how magical everything looked, how amazing the food was, how delicious our signature drink was, and how great the servers and bartenders were.
It really was our perfect day, and I wouldn't change a thing.
Ali made everything so stress free and easy. More...

We had the most amazing ceremony and reception at the Boathouse at Rockett's landing. We had Alli as our event coordinator and she made the whole process incredibly easy. Everyone knows what they're doing at the venue, and Alli knows what questions to ask prior to the day of - things that we didn't even think about. Using The Boathouse as our venue cut down the amount of vendors we had to coordinate as well as they handle the tables, chairs, linens, dance floor, bar, and catering. The rehearsal and wedding/reception went super smoothly and neither my husband, my mom, or my mother in law had to worry about the thing. Highly recommend this venue! More...

Some of our top priorities in selecting the venue for our wedding were #1. An outdoor ceremony with a view, #2 great food and drinks, #3 a venue that provided an ”all inclusive” set up, so I wouldn't have to pick everything from plates, napkins, glassware etc. . Needless to say, The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing exceeded my expectations AND we had the pleasure of working with Alli, the event coordinator. She was a God send! Extremely professional, organized, calm and thoughtful throughout the entire process!
Planning a wedding (especially when doing it on your own and out of state) can be very challenging and easily overwhelming. Alli made the process extremely simple and helped bring my vision to life. I was a bit frantic in the weeks leading up to the day of, luckily Alli was there to ease my concerns with her amazing personality, experience and professionalism. The timeline went exactly as planned on the day of, with clear and easy instruction. She orchestrated everything in the background perfectly and had prosecco and TONS of food packed and ready to go in our exit vehicle. The entire night went flawlessly (at least to my knowledge! ) not only was Alli amazing to work with, but all the staff did a tremendous job taking care of our guests and clearing tables.

We had so many compliments from our guests on the venue, the food and drinks and the views. If we were faced with making the venue selection all over again, I wouldn't even blink before saying yes! It was easily one of the best decisions we made! More...

Our wedding at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing was absolutely perfect! We worked with Alli, our day of coordinator, and she was a dream. She worked hard to make sure my vision was brought to life, and was very calm and laid back throughout the whole process, which helped to ease my nerves and take away some of the stress that goes with planning a wedding! The staff the day of was also fantastic, going out of their way to make sure the entire bridal party was fed, and that we were treated like VIPs. We got married August 31st, and our ceremony started at 5:30 - letting our photographer take advantage of the golden hour during cocktail hour photos. The only negative (not the fault of the Boathouse) was that there were people playing volleyball and taking advantage of the bike path nearby, one of which walked through our ceremony while I was walking down the aisle. This was made up for by the awesome diners at the Boathouse cheering from the patio when we were pronounced husband and wife. With the RVA skyline and the James River in the background, our photos are stunning! The sunset from the River View Room was gorgeous, and all of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful our venue was. If you're looking for a truly "Richmond" wedding and don't mind a few spectators, the Boathouse couldn't be a more perfect choice. More...

My husband and I decided to have our wedding at the Boathouse after we had dinner at the restaurant to celebrate our engagement. It was the best decision ever! Alli was incredibly helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. I really can't imagine a more qualified, organized, or friendly person to work with and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her. Having your wedding at the Boathouse is as stress-free as wedding planning can be. They are so easy to work with and it is so nice to have one vendor handle the ceremony, reception space, linens and rentals, and catering. The food was incredible, we had so many compliments on the unique space, and they included so many thoughtful touches for my husband and me (like providing us with a meal to go as we were leaving--I was so nervous during the actual reception I couldn't eat much of my dinner!). Altogether, we are so happy we chose the Boathouse and would highly recommend it to anyone. More...
