Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were married at The Boathouse at Sunday Park this summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Amanda was so enthusiastic and timely in responding to all of our questions during the planning process, and her extensive knowledge of weddings ensured that no detail was overlooked. On the big day itself, the staff went above and beyond decorating the venue with the items we had dropped off the day before, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special moment. The Boathouse at Sunday park, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect romantic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was lovely and ran so smoothly thanks to Amanda's careful orchestration. We are so grateful to her for helping our wedding vision come to life seamlessly. The Boathouse is a gem for couples looking for a venue that offers gorgeous scenery, delicious food, and attentive yet unobtrusive coordination.
