About

Stillwater River Boats is a boat wedding venue located in downtown Stillwater, Minnesota. The quaint and picturesque town of Stillwater is situated about a half an hour away from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Because it is so near the downtown areas of these cities, visitors will be able to fully immerse themselves in the fascinating history of the local area during their stay. In fact, there are plenty of historic walking tours and museums just waiting to be discovered. With this rich history and the scenic surroundings, couples will be able to experience an unforgettable wedding onboard one of the river boats in this “best destination small town.”

Facilities and Capacity
Regardless of the season, couples will be able to climb onboard one of the river boats with their loved ones and experience a romantic ceremony and reception. There are six different charter boats available to choose from depending on your wedding size and style. All of the boats feature enclosed and climate-controlled levels with a patio viewing deck. The Avalon, which can accommodate up to 675 guests, is not only the largest boat in the fleet, but also the largest paddlewheel boat in the Midwest. This spacious boat features two bars and two buffet areas which are perfect for entertaining. The Majestic Star, which can accommodate up to 300 guests, has a relaxing first level lounge. On the other levels, couples will find a dining deck, bar and dance floor, and a viewing deck. The Empress, which can accommodate up to 225 guests, features a charming Victorian style for couples who are interested in more of a historic backdrop for their wedding. Both the Showboat and the Jubilee II can accommodate up to 150 guests. For more intimate weddings, there is the Anastasia. This paddlewheeler is ideal for wedding parties with under 75 guests. Regardless of your wedding style, you will easily be able to decorate and host your dream wedding onboard your selected boat.

Services Offered
To ensure you will have everything you need for your riverboat wedding, the team from Stillwater River Boats will provide you with tables, chairs, china, flatware, barware, and linens. The team is more than happy to offer entertainment referrals as well as provide you with a dance floor.

Amazing! From day one, they were accommodating and knew what they were doing. They had the whole process down and made me feel like at ease. I would highly recommend this venue. Stillwater is such an amazing and beautiful place for a wedding. The staff was icing on the cake. They always checked on us and got us anything we requested. They really went above and beyond to make our wedding memorable. We are planning on doing a dinner cruise for our anniversary every year.

Amazing Venue for a Wedding

We had our wedding aboard the Majestic Star and it was the best decision we made! We couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. The event was seamless from the beginning stages of planning all the way to the end of the wedding night. They were always available to answer questions through email and were super helpful in helping me to navigate planning a wedding during the Covid-19 pandemic. The staff were all very helpful and kind, and I would highly recommend using St. Croix Boat and Packet for your wedding or event. Our guests all raved about the wedding, including the food, service, and the overall experience of being out on the river for a wedding. We can't thank you enough, so we will spread the good word!
