05 Feb 2013The Boatshed was the perfect wedding venue for us. The location shows off Wellington’s beautiful waterfront and cityscape. The Boatshed had all the facilities we could have wanted. Our visitors from around NZ and overseas raved about the wonderful scenery and experience The Boatshed provided for our wedding.The team at The Boatshed were very accommodating and easy to deal with. They took the hassle out of organising a wedding venue by communicating regularly with us and helping us with the special touches that made our day unique and perfect.

25 Oct 2014Highly recommend The Boatshed to any bride looking for a beautiful setting and relaxed atmosphere. The views are just amazing. Sarah you are an wonderful wedding planner and we couldn’t have done this without you and your wonderful staff. Everything we asked for was provided with no questions asked. Setup was easy and we did not feel pressured in any way to leave both after setup or after the wedding. My daughter had an afternoon tea reception and the food was just amazing. Plentiful and exactly what we asked for. Thank you so much everyone for making our experience such an awesome one.
