    Most Perfect Venue

    My wedding at the Boathouse at Sunday Park could not have been more perfect if the Pinterest fairy planned it herself. I can not express the gratitude I feel towards the Boathouse assigned coordinator, Johanna, and the Boathouse staff for the level of customer service and genuine care they took for my husband and me on our wedding day. They made every dream come true and, above that, every member of the wait staff and event team made me feel like I had actual friends running my wedding who genuinely cared about making everything perfect! It never felt like anyone was doing a job because of the graciousness and kindness of all involved - and trust me they were all working their butts.

    Walking into the reception, I saw the party of my dreams with all of my plans and designs brought to life. There is not a single thing I would change about the day and I appreciate everything The Boathouse did to make it perfect... Including getting my parents packed up and out of there so fast my dad was in bed snoring before midnight. Bravo.

    Breathtaking venue with great service

    My day ran so smoothly. It was the best, most perfect day ever. Everyone at The Boathouse went above & beyond to make sure our day was special and ensured that our guests were happy. All of my guests raved about how beautiful the venue is and how great the food was. The staff, the food, the venue, everything...perfection. Amanda and Kristan were my "Day of Coordinators". Amanda was an excellent project manager and was super responsive with all of my questions related to the venue and reception. Kristan was with me on my wedding day and was so calm and organized. She kept the day moving a long with no issues. I absolutely would not change one thing about that day. If you want an absolutely beautiful venue, good food and excellent customer service, look no further than The Boathouse at Sunday Park.

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park's reply:

    Hi, Monica,
    Thanks for your review! It's wonderful to hear that you would not change a thing about your special day at The Boathouse!
    Congratulations on your marriage, and we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together.

    10/06/23 a picture perfect wedding day!

    When looking at venues for our wedding my husband and I knew we wanted a spot with a scenery and an option for indoor and outdoor use. The Boathouse was our second venue that we toured, and my Husband and I FELL IN LOVE with the waterfront view of Swift Creek Reservoir, as well as there beautiful garden ceremony space with a large garden pavilion building which was a perfect space for our 80+ guests.

    We wanted our wedding planning to be easy and stress-free, so when we found out they were all inclusive (included tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, and flatware) we jumped on it ASAP.

    From the first meeting to the last and till our big day, The Boathouse was truly the best experience hands down! They were so persistent on emails and were so detailed with everything. It made our planning so much easier, knowing someone is looking over your big day and making sure everything it going according to plan. Our day of coordinator (also included) Amanda was AMAZING! I felt so bad for sending emails after emails, and making changes but she was so professional and patient throughout the entire process.

    When our big day came, we ended up with a new coordinator named Kristan. Even though Kristan wasn't there for our planning, she made my day even better, Kristan was so attentive and kind. She literally came and checked on me multiple times to see if I needed anything. She felt my vibes and helped out where she could. PLEASE GIVE THIS GIRL A RAISE! (Thanks for the texting about my (fake) ring Kristan!)

    Overall, We received so many compliments on our wedding space, from the waterfront to the garden, most of our guest couldn't believe they were in Midlothian,Virginia. The Boathouse at Sunday Park was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning. Everything from what it includes and the straight up professionalism that comes with it.

    THANK YOU TO THE BOATHOUSE CREW! 10/10

    Best Day Ever

    Our wedding at the Boathouse at Sunday Park was an absolute dream! I am so thankful for Amanda, our day-of coordinator, for answering the million & one questions we had leading up the event, and the entire Boathouse staff for making us feel so pampered on our special day.
    Despite the unexpected monsoon rains that prevented us from holding our ceremony outside, Amanda helped us come up with a great backup plan to make our reception space double as an intimate ceremony space. The food was amazing, the service was wonderful and all of our guests had a fabulous time. I cannot say enough great things about having our wedding her and would highly recommend it to anyone!

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful 5-star review!

    It was an honor to be a part of your wedding, and we are thrilled that Amanda and our team helped create a memorable and joyous occasion for you. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we appreciate your trust in choosing The Boathouse.

    Best Wishes for a lifetime of happiness.

    A wonderful Wedding Experience

    Hello!

    This review goes to wonderful coordinators Anne, Amanda and Kristan. My wife and I were welcomed and guided through the process of how to have our wedding at the Boathouse. The view was spectacular and the service was top notch. Although Mother Nature did not agree with us on the day of our wedding, our coordinators were able to work and adapt quickly to ensure our wedding went smoothly. Thank you to Anne, thank you to Amanda, thank you to Kristan and special shout out to the Boathouse at Sunday Park for being such accommodating professionals. We could not be happier.

    The highest of recommendations,

    Gautami and Huy

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park's reply:

    Hi, Huy,
    Thanks so much for your review! It was such a pleasure working with you and Gautami. It's wonderful to hear that you could not be happier with your wedding day!
    Best Wishes to you both!

    Amazing! The wedding of our dreams!

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park was everything and much more that we expected for our wedding venue. From our initial meetings with Anne, to our detailed planning with Amanda to our rehearsal and day of coordination with Kristan, everyone (including the entire staff) went above and beyond in making sure our special day went beautifully without any glitches! Without the support of Amanda and Kristan and the entire staff, we couldn't have had this beautiful wedding with two ceremonies of our choice! Kristan, you are an Angel! We highly recommend this venue for a smooth, well planned and gorgeous wedding!

    Thanks, Gautami S. and Huy T.

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park's reply:

    Hi, Gautami,
    Thanks so much for your wonderful review! And thank you for allowing us to be part of your special day.
    We're so glad Amanda, Kristan, and their team helped you have a beautiful wedding day with the two ceremonies you wanted.
    Best Wishes to you both!

    Highly Recommend!

    We chose the boathouse at Sunday park for the beautiful scenery and all inclusive nature. It also provides an option to have an outdoor or indoor ceremony and reception is onsite so no need to have guests drive elsewhere. This venue was the most affordable option for us as well. Any food not eaten by the end of the night they will send home with you. The day-of coordinators are phenomenal and take all of the stress out of the set up and take down process. I highly recommend at least taking a tour of this venue!

    Hi Emily,
    Thanks for your review! We're so glad you had a beautiful and stress-fress wedding day. Thank you for sharing your special day with us!

    Amazing Speechless

    I had my ceremony and reception here last week. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my day was special and it was. Every single detail no email left unread. I would recommend this 100x over its perfect no matter the size.

    The Boathouse is simply the full package

    If I could, I'd host every event at The Boathouse at Sunday Park. The setting and views speak for themselves, but the staff goes to extreme lengths to elevate the whole experience to a new level. I fell in love with The Boathouse quickly and wholeheartedly when my fiancé and I were shopping for a wedding venue. After signing the contract, we were paired with our wedding coordinator, Amanda. Amanda was so amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions (and I had a lot of them) and truly made me feel like I could make my wedding look however and be whatever I wanted. The Boathouse is basically a one stop shop, but they offer such a variety of services that can help your event feel unique. The colors, the room layout, the food... there were so many choices, but we didn't have to stress over finding outside vendors except for the big stuff like photographer, DJ, etc. They do a lot of events and they've got it down to a science, but they still allow for individuality and customization. Our guests were so complimentary of the venue, the staff, the food, the drinks, all of it. It was the best day of our lives and The Boathouse played such a huge role in it. We are so grateful to have been able to be married in such a special and beautiful place!

    Beautiful waterfront, excellent location, amazing service

    Y'all, stop your search and book the Boathouse at Sunday Park right now! The waterfront ceremony site is gorgeous. You barely need any décor because it is just perfect as it is. The reception hall is light and airy. The food is delicious. And my NUMBER ONE reason to book: Amanda Hurley our day-of-coordinator (provided by the Boathouse) was a true ROCK STAR. She was so pleasant to work with, responsive, confident and calm, knowledgeable. She made the whole day feel like an effortless breeze. She anticipated our every need even before we knew we needed something.

    Beautiful location for a brunch fall wedding

    My daughters brunch wedding at Sunday Park was one of the best decisions they made that day. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the flexibility The Boathouse has with deco allowed us to make the space unique.
    The reception area is also just a beautiful with the stone fireplace and wood mantle. Again we had flexibility and were able to add our own personal touches.
    The bar, food and service were absolutely spot on and our guests raved about the food and drinks.
    The wedding coordinator Amanda was very responsive and so easy to work with. She was a very calming presence and reassured us everything would be taken care of which it fully was!
    I would highly recommend having a wedding at the Boathouse Sunday Park. You will not be disappointed!

    Amazing venue!

    I cannot express how wonderful this venue is. It’s not only gorgeous on the water but the staff and coordinators went above and beyond for us. They answered my daily emails and made sure our day ran smoothly and was absolutely perfect. We received so many compliments on their service and delicious brunch food. This venue is all-inclusive where you get the rentals and day-of coordinator. This is a MUST and worth the extra money. Your coordinator works with you every step of the way and makes sure you day is amazing. Shoutout to Amanda Hurley and Chanae Joyner, they ROCKED it!

    Weekday Brunch Wedding

    My husband and I originally planned to get married in 2020 and decided to postpone until this October. Laura made postponing easy and answered all my questions beforehand.

    Our day-of coordinator, Amanda, was amazing from our initial planning meeting! She promptly answered all my emails and had everything organized the day of. She also matched our theme!

    All of the staff were so attentive - they made sure we were hydrated, actually ate and had a drink when we needed it. Also, all of our guests said they loved the food!

    We chose the Boathouse because of the views, space and having everything in one location. It did not disappoint and was perfect for our wedding. Would definitely recommend!

    AMAZING Wedding at the Boathouse!

    The Boathouse at Sunday Park team was AMAZING and made all our dreams come true for our beautiful wedding celebration!! Laura Silva and Amanda Hurley were SO SWEET, kind, and caring. They were so amazing to work with through the 2 years of rescheduling and challenges due to COVID and made sure we were feeling very special every step of the way. THANK YOU so much Laura and Amanda and the entire Boathouse team! The venue was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and all our guests were raving of the beautiful view! The ceremony space was so perfect for photos with the beautiful sunset and waterfront view- the white arbor was EVERYTHING! Our guests were so impressed by the venue views. We chose to get married in Midlothian because of the venue! We live out of town and all our guests are from out of town so it was a destination wedding ALL BECAUSE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE BOATHOUSE AT SUNDAY PARK IS! We absolutely love it and highly recommend it. The Boathouse team helped us so much with finding the Sheffield cottage for our family to stay at, they were amazing with recommendations for the rehearsal dinner, hotels, other vendors, and even fun activities for our guests to do. The day of the wedding was so perfect, everything looked so beautiful, the service was amazing and the food was delicious! We LOVED the seafood and boathouse vibe- and our signature drink! The boathouse was so great to work with and had an amazing food selection for a very reasonable and fair price. Thank you so much to the boathouse team! Laura Silva was so sweet and kind the day of and truly became like a family/ friend vs. a vendor. We love you Boathouse!

    Boathouse Wedding September 2019

    The Boathouse's service, food, and venue are amazing, we would recommend it to anyone looking at planning their wedding! Growing up going to the Boathouse for brunch and dinners we knew we would be in great hands, but the wedding venue far exceeded anything we could have hoped for.

    Boathouse beauty

    All I can say is WOW! We had an absolutely beautiful wedding day at the Boathouse. They make it so easy for you and Amanda Hurley is the best. Almost 2 months later and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was. Definitely looking forward to working with them again.

    Best Wedding ever!

    Amanda the venue coordinator was hands down the best part.of this venue. The Boathouse is so beautiful. The food was amazing. And the booze were perfect. We had a night wesding amd the room had a beautiful romantic glow. Amanda took my decor and went above and beyond. Everything was seamless. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We had a ton of food they gave us to enjoy for days after the wedding. Even our band said it was the best wedding they had played for. This venue and Amanda allowed me to enjoy the day amd not stress over any detail. I hugged her so many times at the end of the night she was probably annoyed. If you want a romantic wedding that is all inclusive for a reasonable price, this is your choice! The shrimp and grits and filet were a hit!

    Excellent Services and Easy to work with

    The location is amazing and our daughter's wedding was so beautiful this past October weekend. But when you add in, how professional our Boathouse event coordinator, Amanda, was from her design eye, her efficient coordination of everything, and always smiling, then add in the wait staff, the bar staff, their professionalism and service, and excellent food, this was beyond extraordinary! I would recommend this venue in an instant! They took all my stress away so I could enjoy the wedding! Gratefully, The Mother of the Bride

    Beautiful Venue, Great Food and Amazing Staff

    We had our ceremony and reception at the Sunday Park location. Amanda, our wedding planner, was amazing along with all other staff on-site that evening. Timelines were kept and everyone went along as scheduled throughout the night. The food and set up were perfect and the venue is very spacious even with a party of 100 people. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress free venue!
