    Spectacular

    This was the best wedding ever!! Diane, the wedding coordinator, is absolutely spectacular! She listens to what you want and makes suggestions to make it even better. If I had to do this again, I wouldn't change one thing! The entire staff was wonderful! I recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding, family reunion, or any event! Thank you all for making my daughter's day spectacular!!

    Son’s wedding

    Briefly, I wasn’t sure if the Belle was a good choice. In the end, we had about 125 guests, and it was extremely memorable for all the right reasons. Diane is a very competent planner. Would not hesitate to do it again on the Belle. And…Everyone will remember the venue! Home run!

    A lovely cruise

    The Belle of Louisville and our coordinator Diane made our wedding magical. The venue was one of a kind. The slow cruise up the river and back at sunset was a much enjoyed break from the dance party which was a absolute success. Diane guided us to most affordable and positively reviewed vendors and we were not disappointed. Our wedding was exactly as we wanted it and while we never want to get remarried, if we had to do it again I don't think we could do better. Thank you Belle of louisville and staff for making our wedding day so perfect. - Roger and Amy

    Rehearsal Dinner

    We recently looked into renting out a cruise for my son's rehearsal dinner. Unfortunately, my son and fiance had a different venue in mind. That stated, we could not be happier with the service provided by Diane. She was our central point of contact for making all the arrangements, very receptive, and always available. My wife and I have never been to Louisville, but we are very much looking forward to a trip to take a ride on the Belle, mostly because Diane's high level of hospitality.

    Thank you Diane!

    Spence Family...

    Belle of Louisville's reply:

    Thank you very much for the kind words. I look forward to meeting your family when you come to town.

    Perfect All Around!

    The Belle of Louisville is a beautiful place to have your wedding. I did the ceremony and reception with the boat actively cruising. It was a one of a kind wedding. Exactly what I was looking for. But to top it off, the wedding coordinator Diane Eisenback was the best. She did everything and more than I expected. She was there for me before, during, and then after the wedding too. I would highly reccomend the Belle and Diane for your wedding day!

    Belle of Louisville's reply:

    Tiffanty & Jeremy
    You guys are the best!! Thank you both, for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

    Excellent!

    The Belle and Mary M. Miller are perfect, unique venues to host your wedding. What's more, when you book, as a bonus, you also get to utilize Diane's vast (30 plus years) of wedding planning experience!! She is awesome, and from a DJ's perspective, she takes care of everybody, from the couple, the guests, the photographer, the caterer, and even the DJ. She's simply the best!

    Beautiful venue with charm and a professional coordinator on staff

    As an event designer, I have had the pleasure of working with Diane and the staff at The Belle of Louisville for many years now and have been delighted with the results of many successful events there. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful with charm and nostalgia, but the planning and execution of each event has been flawless.

    Diane is knowledgeable and focused on the overall success of each event while offering that personal touch that is so important! Having a professional on-site coordinator and a beautiful setting with delicious food and drink options available is a winning combination. Trust them to exceed your expectations, you won't be disappointed!

    Diane and the crew of the Belle of Louisville were great! Diane was very helpful in the last minute situation.

    Diane and Caption Doty were great. They made the day very memorable and provided a very custom service for our special day. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much.

    The proposal.

    There’s a story as to why I picked The Belle of Louisville to propose to my future wife. But I didn’t realize all of extra benefits we would receive. I got in touch with Diane, which was a fantastic coordinator who helped me plan every last detail. Even in the off season she was able to create a story we will remember for the rest of our lives. From the communication before the event to following up the day after we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. From the tour of the boat, to a perfect proposal spot, a special toast, to a horse and carriage ride to our dinner location, dinner reservations and a ride back to the Belle, Diane assisted with all the details and made my ideas come to fruition. The night was truly magical.

    Exceptional Customer Care

    In our modern times, it seems customer service/care has gone out the window. However, my experience with Diane and her crew has changed my mind. I was treated as though I were a millionaire dollar client from the beginning until the very end. I had some last minute changes that were handled by Diane with the upmost respect and care.

    The dinner was exceptionally delicious. The crew were polite and professional and even the DJ took the time to meet with us to discuss what type of Music we preferred.

    Everything was very organized and we were treated as though we were family; Diane made sure of that. Excellent cruise and wedding venue for anyone who likes to be treated well. Many thanks to Diane and all of the people involved in making sure our wedding was fabulous 💕 Robert and Tammy 12/28/19

    Smooth waters

    Our wedding reception was so beautiful aboard the Mary Miller. Anything that I was worried about was unnecessary, as Diane made sure we had our lists checked off. Everyone at the reception had a wonderful night. It was truly the experience of a lifetime.

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to write the wonderful review! You and Skip are greatly appreciated!

    Sunset Cruise Rehearsal Dinner - Perfect!!

    As the Parents of the Groom we chose the Belle of Louisville for our Rehearsal Dinner venue. The personal service was exceptional and took care of our every need - sometimes before we even asked! A sunset cruise on the OHIO was the perfect start for our wedding weekend!

    I have to say the Staff AND Crew of the Belle of Louisville went above and beyond ALL expectations. I still have friends and family who tell me "That was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding!"... If there's one thing I could do differently, it would be to reserve the ship for an extra hour.
    I will forever hold that day near and dear to my heart, and Diane made CERTAIN that everything went off as scheduled, and Captain Mark did a wonderful job officiating the ceremony, and Captain Drew took us for a memorable cruise.
    If you want a memorable wedding, a FUN wedding, and something quite out of the ordinary (after all, how many people do YOU know that were wed on a 102 year old steamboat?), look into the Belle of Louisville. I promise you'll love it!

    Diane and team were super accommodating throughout the planning through execution of the wedding party. We did not have an outside wedding planner and Diane helped us manage the details of the event while ensuring our vision for the evening was captured. All of our guests left saying this was the most fun wedding they had ever been to!

    This wonderful excursion boat provides an exceptional planner, a beautiful venue that needs very little additional decoration, an officiant (the Captain), and a fun, unique trip around the Ohio River above the Falls of the Ohio, beautiful scenery! The planner will help with pre-event planning, booking the caterer, and low prices for extras to make the event really special. The boat is owned by the Metro Louisville (City govt) so no tipping is allowed! They have a no smoking policy, and you have to be inspected on boarding (even gifts have to be unwrapped or in gift bags).
    We were on the Spirit of Jefferson Riverboat, their smaller venue. It was PERFECT! We had about 60 guests, the boat ride was very smooth, the DJ offered a well-researched historical commentary as we sailed along, and Diane was the best planner ever!

    Unique venue with top tier service

    I love doing events on the Belle of Louisville and the Mary Miller. These venues offer a unique experience, there is just something special about a ceremony on the river and a reception cruise. Diane is always a pleasure to work with, her detailed itineraries and day of professionalism are tops in the industry. I will continue to refer my clients to Diane and these beautiful venues, without hesitation.
