The most perfect wedding!

Where do I start with the boathouse?! We have taken so long to review purely because we simply can’t put it into words how unbelievably perfect our day was and don’t even know where to start with a review!! We got married on the 19th May, one of the best days in May for weather so we cannot complain one bit! 😜 We cannot thank the staff enough for their support for the year and half build up to the wedding, nothing was too much of an ask and nothing was a silly question or suggestion. You know when you pay for something and basically once you’ve paid, that’s it with the good service? Not at the boathouse that’s for sure!!! They go above and over with EVERYTHING they do and on the day, they were always one step ahead of us with making sure everything just ran so perfectly as it did! Everything felt so organised leading up to it and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! We had Beckie doing most of our organising and she is just so perfect at her job, and the most kind, wonderful person we have ever met! Beckie and Alex were on hand the morning/day of the wedding ensuring everything was as perfect as we’d ever dreamt it to be - and helped keep me calm 🤣 All the staff there are amazing and especially on the day when Ash was on hand to help with literally anything I needed, from grabbing a half eaten icecream off me, to pinning up my dress despite the difficulties of it 🤣 Her and Lauren was always making sure everything felt relaxed and perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anymore! Even stayed with us until we got into the taxi safely and that meant so much to us! We could go on for days talking about the staff and how unreal our day was. Everyone said how AMAZING the food was, even the photographer who’s tried loads of venue’s food!! And we even had people comment and ask where we found such incredible staff, so nothing went unnoticed. I think it’s safe to say we would recommend the boathouse a thousand times over. Thank you so much everyone. Love Mr and Mrs Goodall 🤍🤍

The perfect day, exactly what we had hoped for

We had our wedding at The Boathouse on 2nd November 2024. The team were fantastic from start to finish. Abby was our wedding coordinator and she was there throughout the process. Whenever we had any questions nothing was too much trouble and her replies were prompt and informative. She was so supportive and made us feel like our wedding was the only one the Boathouse we’re dealing with. All the staff on the day went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough. Our guests all complimented the amazing food and the venue.

Thank you to Abby and The Boathouse team.

A dream come true 💕

We had the most incredible day for our August wedding at The Boat House. We were so very well looked after from the very beginning to the very end, everyone was simply fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us. The whole team went above and beyond to make our experience absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to celebrate our wedding day - highly recommend 💕

August '24 wedding

The Aston Marina wedding coordinating team were fantastic, always available and speedy in their responses to answer any queries and put in place each and every little request we had.
From attending an open day we loved the venue, the menu tasting event is a must, gives you a great feel for the place as well as tasting the exceptional dishes.
A perfect wedding venue and we and our guests had a glorious day in the August sunshine at this beautiful place.

The wedding day of our dreams 😍

We could not recommend this venue highly enough! The team at Aston Mariana worked so hard to make sure that we had the most incredible day. From when we first visited on an open day, through to the minute we left the venue after the wedding, we were so well looked after and had every question and query answered to. They helped us put our vision together, and made sure that all of the suppliers were seen to so that we could focus on enjoying our big day. All of our guests said how impressed they were with both the venue and the staff. The food was amazing and everything ran so slick. We are so happy we chose this venue to enable us to have the most perfect day ever 🥰💍❤️

The most perfect venue we could have wished for! From our first visit, all the meetings and support during planning and the day itself, the team are just amazing! Excellent communication and everyone is so freidly and put us at ease. We can't recommend this venue enough.

A special huge thank you to Abby for all her help during planning and the day itself, nothing was too much trouble and it made us feel so at ease on the day. You are amazing at what you do!

Best Day of our lives!

Where do we begin… we cannot thank Abby and everyone at Aston Marina for everything!! Our day was everything we could have wished for and more! Back in 2021 we went on our first official date to Aston Marina and we sat on bench at the top of the hill in the glorious sunshine overlooking the marina and agreed if we were to ever get married we would get married there. Fast forward three years later and on the 24th May 2024 we became husband and wife! Throughout the entire planning process Abby was on hand to help with any query no matter how small but always put our minds at ease. We attended a number of wedding fayres which always proved so helpful together with a glass of fizz! The fayres resulted in us meeting a number of our suppliers for the day and allowed us to show family members around before our big day which they loved. Aston Marina really did make our dream day into a fairytale, no request was too much and we were always welcomed with a smile by all staff! Our day went as smooth as possible with Abby and her team dealing with everything so we had nothing to worry about. We worked together during the planning process to ensure the team knew the vision for our day and they made sure everything was perfect from start to finish! On the day all of our guests were made to be feel welcome with assistance always on hand for our elderly and younger guests. Abby even went to the extra mile with the best surprise ever on the day before our wedding when she arranged for the bench from our first date to be placed back where we had our first day for photos on our day. Aston Marina is a beautiful location and we cannot recommend the venue and team enough. If you have any doubt about booking, there is no need, get your date booked and get ready for the most magical day of your life!

A Huge Thank you To All The Team, Our Perfect, Magical Wedding Day ❤️

We got married here on Friday 26th April 2024, Wow just Wow, from our first meeting with Abby when scouting possible venues, we felt completely at ease, no pressure at all, Abby is very friendly, whilst professional & goes above & beyond to help. Everyone & everything seemed ideal including the setting & scenery for what we wanted for our special day. Every interaction, input & advice since that first meeting was invaluable. We used Aston Marinas recommended suppliers for our flowers, venue dressing & wedding singer/DJ which were all perfect, friendly, reasonable & reliable. The day was absolutely magical, the food, presentation & service was superb, we couldn't of wished for anymore, I got ready at Aston Marina & bless her, Abby was even sitting with me removing the labels off the bottom of our shoes! to help. Nothing was too much trouble, our heartfelt thanks go out to you all, especially Abby, she knows her job inside & out & was an absolute pleasure to work with, she is an absolute asset to the Team. ❤️ Xxx

The perfect day

From start to finish you were there to help with anything and everything. Saving the day with a major bouquet issue and moving the schedule round to accommodate the speeches early to calm the guys nerves.

The whole experience was incredible and made so easy with your experience and professionalism, we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Thank you so much!

Perfect! Can we do it again?

We got married in The Boathouse in 2018...it was perfect in every way we could have hoped. The setting, the room itself and all of the staff couldn't do enough for us. The team at Aston Marina were incredible, the food fantastic! I just want to do it all over again!

Wonderful in every way!

We got married in June & had the best experience ever! The staff at the boat house were all so lovely, nothing was too much trouble & everyone was happy to help. The whole planning process was smooth running & stress free. The actual venue is beautiful & has such a lovely relaxed feel. So many people have told us it’s the best wedding they’ve been to! Having our dog there also made the day even more special. Would highly recommend!

The BEST wedding venue

Abby, Beckie & the rest of the team at The Boathouse are all amazing!

From first viewing the venue right through to our wedding day (and even after) we have felt so supported. We had regular communication with Abby and meetings to sort out the finer details, with Abby even helping suggest ideas/suppliers - which was a big help when you've never planned a wedding before!

We had a church ceremony before heading over to The Boathouse, where everything was set up perfectly and even better than I had imagined. The staff were ready with the drinks reception and canapes for our guests. The whole day was perfect, we were lucky with the weather so managed to have some time outside, but even the space inside was more than enough especially when all our evening guests arrived.

The packages offered are extremely reasonable and we would definitely recommend The Boathouse to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Thank you to the whole team for making our day incredible and run so smoothly!

Amazing from start to finish!

Rebecca and the team were absolutely amazing from start to finish! Despite the rainy weather they made sure it was perfect and nothing was too much trouble. We had such great feedback from our guests regarding the day and the food was absolutely amazing. The venue is absolutely beautiful and feel very fortunate we were able to get married at Aston Marina. Nothing was ever too much trouble despite the million questions I kept asking a long the way. Thank you to all the team for making it the most incredible day 🤍

Incredible Venue!

Since our first viewing of the venue, Beckie and the team at the Boathouse were incredible. They helped us every step of the way and the day ran so perfectly.

The venue is beautiful and has everything you could want; an indoor light and airy space, an outdoor decking area perfect for drinks, and beautiful views overlooking the water. Just gorgeous.

All I can say is if you want a stress-free, beautiful wedding (all for a decent price!) then book The Boathouse. You will not regret it.
