Camden County Boathouse

I just recently had my wedding and this location was great. My wife loved how all our picture came out. It was beautifully decorated and everything went smoothly. It was the best day of my life!

I just had my wedding here at the Camden County Boathouse and it was a dream! The staff was super helpful to all my questions, and the caterers were great too. I would recommend this location.

My daughter had a December wedding at the Camden County Boathouse and everything was beautiful. Kristen was so helpful and I would highly recommend the boathouse for any season. The ballroom is perfect and the views are even better. My daughter and son-in-law loved every minute.

This venue was everything I dreamed of for my wedding! Our wedding pictures came out great in every location at the venue and working with the staff was super easy. I highly recommend this venue for weddings!

My husband and I recently got married at Camden County Boathouse. My husband and I live out of town and because of covid we picked the venue from looking at pictures and reading reviews online. When we were finally able to come and visit the venue were blown away by the beautiful scenery and the ballroom! We knew we had made the right choice! The day of the wedding our guests gave us so many compliments about the venue and how beautiful it is! The Camden County Boathouse staff (Kristen, Maria, Lauren, and more!) were amazing to work with! They are so nice and were so responsive to my many questions leading up to the big day! We had our ceremony inside, but they also have ceremony space outside. We would recommend getting married at the Boathouse!

This was one of the first venues we looked at for our wedding and fell in love with it immediately. It's such a gorgeous space right on the river and the lighting inside is wonderful! The staff was super helpful and answered the millions of questions I had clearly and in a timely manner. I'm so happy we chose the boathouse and would definitely recommend it!

After looking through a bunch of different venues we came across this place for our wedding. We fell in love with it right away. It has a large spacious ballroom with a beautiful balcony that overlooks cooper river. All of this for a very reasonable price. The grounds were great for pictures and the staff were great.

We got married at the boathouse about a month ago. Everything was great and no issues and then covid happened. We were thrilled they were doing a tent option and we didn’t want to post pone getting married so decided to give it a go. We had asked if the price changed due to the outdoor option and were told we would be given a free chair rental and ceremony fee !So we thought why not let’s get it a go.Super curious on what a wedding would look like here we have driven by often to check out the tent, we noticed another wedding had rented an additional tent and we decided we wanted to do the same.So we reached out to rent the addition tent and then were asked if we wanted to also rent the tent panels.We were confused the side panels on the tent had been there and never taken down so why after us reaching out would they now be an additional charge. Makes me wonder if we never reached out about additional tent if it would be booked at all. When asking the boathouse about this we were told that the panels are mostly removed after every event and have always been additional. This is not true we have driven there week after week and they stayed there. Perhaps they forgot to remove them each time and I would have been more understanding if told this but we were told that they were not always there, and that we didn’t see them. This is when everything changed. The boathouse then became rather nasty. In the end they had said if rain was predicted that day they could provide the side tent panels. My only confusion is that if you are converting to an outdoor option you should be able to accommodate the outdoors. Now come the WEEK of my wedding we were then told we were no longer receiving a ceremony chair rental because they had “give us too much already” it was never said since we got the tent panels we were responsible for the chairs and this was never brought up until lascalas asked about the chairs. This is when we felt entirely fed up. My husband had been dealing with them up untill this point and after much back and forth that didn’t end well I decided to try to mediate the situation. Well let me just say I was never spoken to more rudely or as unprofessional as by Danielle in my life. We are both easy going people, our only issue was just having the tent for our wedding as we have always seen it. With one side panel. When stating this we were told in a nasty voice that she was “shocked” that we were easy going people who do not complain. I didn’t feel as though that was such a extreme over accommodating request as we were made to feel. However because of that request we were treated like we were trying to get “everything for free” and spoken to with ultimate disgust. Luckily everything worked out for us the day of, and we were able to have a great day despite our feelings leading up. Thank god for lascalas and Sammi running the show otherwise I would have felt extremely uncomfortable. I was not going to write a review and “leave it at that” since we were able to enjoy our day but I felt compelled after another bride from the boathouse reached out after having being treated similar. Which was funny to me as we were told we were the only couple giving them such trouble. If you are thinking of having your outdoor event here perhaps think again. Being a rather affordable venue compared to most, the staff definitely reflects this. May be more worth it to upgrade to a more established venue with higher quality staff and save yourself the stress.

The Camden County Boathouse is beautiful. The outdoor space for the ceremony, the veranda, and the room are gorgeous. Danielle was a true pleasure to work with as she was very personable and friendly.

My wife and I got married at the Camden County Boathouse last fall. We were absolutely blown away by the space when we first viewed it in the summer of 2018 when we were intially planning the wedding. During the course of our planning, the place underwent a total renovation. So now, not only does it have an insane deck, gorgeous windows, vaulted ceilings and plenty of space for guests, but it also has brand new floors, amazing light fixtures, and exposed beam accents. We got married in the space in front of the windows at sunset and our photographer was able to get some amazing pictures. We also utilized the deck, the docks and the upstairs balcony for our wedding photos and they were stunning. We had about 130 people at our wedding and did a buffet style. There was plenty of room to dance, eat, and get food in an orderly fashion. The staff was wonderful, and worked with us to get a rehearsal time that accommodated our spread-out bridal party. They were also very permissive about our decor and even stored it in their offices the day before to ease set-up. The venue allows you to pick one of three caterers. We went with Foodwerx which was excellent and reasonably priced. In fact, we were completed surprised about the value we were getting at this venue for the price we paid.

The Boathouse was a dream reception venue! We went to see it after it’s renovation and we were in awe of the modern and elegant design. The wrap around deck overlooking the water was the ultimate selling point. It was the first venue we saw and we were sold. Also, Danielle is super friendly and was so helpful throughout the planning process! We highly recommend this venue!

We absolutely loved the Camden county boathouse as soon as we toured it for the first time. We went a little over a year prior to the wedding and the renovation of the venue. The staff at the boathouse showed us the ideas for the renovation and the overall plan. We then went for the big reveal and wow, we were stunned and so excited to have our wedding at the boathouse. The venue and the staff were absolutely amazing through the entire planning process, each time I would talk to the staff, they would ask to assist and ease my anxiety of the planning. The night of our wedding, many of our guests loved the venue and we heard good things from them all night! We are so happy we had our wedding there, this was the perfect place! Thank you!

We just had our wedding this weekend at the Boathouse and it was amazing! The staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The renovations made this past year and gorgeous. All of our guests complimented the venue all night! My one and only disappointment was that there was a Regatta going on during my wedding. The Boathouse staff did call me the week before to let me know there would be a tent set up out back for it so I was prepared. I just wasn't prepared to see trucks parked all around the venue, the tent blocking the whole back of it, and people and equipment everywhere. This wasn't the Boathouse's fault, but I did miss out of lots of great pictures because of this. We couldn't take any exterior pictures of the building, any pictures on the beautiful deck, and the crew boats were blocking all of the grounds. I loved every thing about my wedding here and all of the staff, just remember, this is a Boathouse and boating events do go on. I would absolutely recommend this venue. Thank you to Danielle and all of the staff for making our day so smooth and beautiful!

Leading up there were some hitches, but everything turned out beautifully and the day was amazing.

We had a Friday night wedding reception at the Boathouse. The sunset views were stunning and the crew teams were bringing in their boats giving it that extra special touch. The Boathouse staff from the event planning team to their colleagues at the front desk were friendly and helpful every step of the way from booking to the reception night. Our guests loved it as much as we did!

We had our reception at the Camden County Boathouse in the middle of July 2019, and it was perfect for us! The ballroom was just the right size for our 140 guest count, and the facility was beautifully maintained, both inside and out. Our guests loved the opportunity to spend time both inside and out. It was a bit warm in the cocktail area, and it was somewhat inconvenient to have to bring all reception items and cars to the location the day of the event, but I would not have changed my decision to have my reception at the boathouse.

The ladies in the office were so accommodating and patient with all of our questions that came up throughout the process of the engagement. We anxiously awaited the completion of the renovations and the outdoor ceremony area looks SO NICE, and the cost was SO AFFORDABLE. They were very accommodating with allowing rose petals to be thrown at the end of the ceremony, and went through the contract with us so we understood all of it. Also, there was a bank issue where the check never got to the office or it got lost or something, and they were so nice about it, I didn't even realize there was an issue until I saw them in person. The space itself offers enough of a blank slate to be as creative or simplistic as we'd like, and the availability of a patio was a great option. We were a little worried about having a 530pm wedding on a Friday when the crew teams would still be on the water, but they were so polite and respectful, and it was super cute that they stopped what they were doing to watch the ceremony happen. It really just added ambiance rather than being a distraction. It was a great experience working with them. We would recommend the venue to anyway looking for a place like that.

I just had my wedding ceremony and reception here at the Boathouse on June 8, 2019. I will say they are very accommodating and easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful, especially with all the updates. My husband and I booked some time ago, before the updates happened. And seeing everything come together was great! My guests are still commenting on how perfect the venue was. We had a gorgeous sunny day, 77 degrees outside and it got cooler at night time. My guests were inside and outside, enjoying every inch of the venue! There are so many different background for pictures, our wedding pictures came out so amazing! Thanks for having us!

The boathouse was recently renovated and it is SO NICE now. The balcony overlooking the river was our favorite part and we were lucky enough for great weather so we could take advantage of it. The scenery around the boathouse made pictures so easy. They also added a newly landscaped ceremony area (2 weeks before our wedding, eek!) which is such an improvement from what was previously there. They have 3 caterers to choose from. We went with Sensational Hosts and couldn't have been happier with them.

The Camden County Boathouse was beautiful for our winter wedding. The staff was great and very accommodating. I would recommend the Camden County Boathouse to any couple!

I had my wedding in October of 2018 and this was the first venue me and my husband seen and it was so beautiful we booked it the same day ! The wedding came out perfect! More than we could ever imagine ! The caterers they have listed are pretty tasteful as well . We were able to add a projector as well as blue lights to our venue . Thank you . Mr&MRS VERA

I am a Philadelphia bride, but looked into New Jersey for my wedding venue, as it is a beautiful state to get married in. When I first visited the Camden County Boathouse, I knew I did not have to search any further for my wedding venue. It is a one-of-a kind venue with beautiful park grounds along side the Cooper River, and breathtaking views from the boathouse deck, with modern/contemporary design. I could have not picked a more perfect place to celebrate the most important day of my life. Talk about an elegant affair! My guests were in awe of the venue and decor I had set up throughout the venue. The price is excellent, super convenient that the boathouse provides uplighting for a nominal cost, and a huge bonus that BYO liquor is permitted, which saved us $$. Thanks to Kristen for answering my many questions, and a big thanks to all the staff that contributed to our special day. This bride and groom could not be more happier with the perfect outcome of our wedding day!

Beautiful venue! Great for a summer wedding!

We had our wedding here on September 16th, 2017. It was a beautiful day and Camden County Boathouse was the perfect venue. Their staff was great, our wedding was outside so they made sure it all trash and everything was picked up. Would highly recommend!

The venue was absolutely beautiful. The renovations made It exactly the wedding I had envisioned !! Danielle, Maria, and Kristen were so easy to work with and answered And addressed all of my questions and concerns. I wish I could go back and relive my wedding day!!

What a wonderful venue. The location is spectacular, with Cooper River directly adjacent and views of the Philadelphia skyline at night, this was the perfect place for my fiance and I to tie the knot. We were able to have our ceremony on-site, outside, however inside would have been just as beautiful as the newly renovated space is quite lovely. The staff were wonderful, answering all of our many questions thoroughly and promptly. They completely removed the stress of planning our wedding from several states away. We were so lucky to have this space for our big day and would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their big day!

We had an amazing April wedding at the Boathouse! The staff was amazing and attentive! We had a beautiful day, with an amazing sunset on the deck! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

We had the most beautiful wedding at the boathouse. The recommended caterer (sensational host) did a wonderful job and the communication between all parties was excellent. What a stunning location!

We just had our wedding at the Boathouse and we absolutely loved it! The staff at the boathouse was amazing they worked with me from the moment I booked the boathouse until the day of. They were always available when I needed anything, the service was great and the Boathouse is beautiful! My guest could not talking about how awesome it was, how beautiful the view from the deck was. The weather was perfect for our cocktail hour on the deck and our guest thought that was a great experience. I highly recommend the Boathouse for your special day.

We are so happy that we chose the Boathouse for our wedding reception! When we started our search for a venue, we were looking for something unique (we did not want a traditional ballroom), and the Boathouse was the perfect fit! Cocktail hour on the expansive deck overlooking the river was just breathtaking. The Boathouse completely exceeded our expectations; we highly recommend the venue!

I seriously cannot express how wonderful of experience it was! Right from the start, Jeanette and her crew answered all of our questions and concerns and kept us up to date on everything that we needed to do on our end! Our reception was absolutely beautiful! The boathouse is simple and elegant. Guests enjoyed themselves on the balcony and the dance floor! I highly recommend. The only thing that threw us through a loop was that we had to have everything out of the boathouse right as the reception ended. Luckily we have great friends and family that grabbed all of our goodies and we headed out for our mini honeymoon!

We got married at the Camden County Boathouse 3/10/17 and although the weather was awful, our wedding day was beautiful! From the minute I looked at the Boathouse online I knew that is where I wanted to have my wedding. The staff at the Boathouse was great during the whole year we were planning our wedding! The inside of the Boathouse is beautiful and the view from the balcony is even better, I just wish the weather was nice enough for our guests to enjoy it!

We absolutely loved the boathouse from the moment we saw it. It is both affordable and beautiful. We had our ceremony and reception at the boathouse on August 6th. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating there, especially Jeanette. For the ceremony, you can have it either outside at the park or inside. Due to the summer heat, we decided to have the ceremony inside and it was beautiful with the windows in the background. Also, all of our photos turned out beautifully there with the river, docks, park, and big bay doors. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great this venue was!

We had our wedding at the Camden County Boathouse on July 9th, 2016 and it was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I saw pictures of the Boathouse online after a recommendation from a friend, and we went to tour it.....it was the first and last venue we toured because we instantly fell in love with it! We loved the modern look of the outside, the view of the river, the beautiful deck off of the dining area, the ample parking (we were allowed to park in the business center across the street since it was a Saturday and it was closed). We had considered holding the ceremony outside, but we chose to go with an indoor ceremony (thankfully, since it was sprinkling that day). The wooden window blinds provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and we had nothing but compliments from our guests about the ambiance. The boathouse had also recently gone through some upgrades which made the night even better - the bridal suite was upgraded to include a few pieces of beautiful furniture for our wedding party to relax in (no more conference table) and the bar area was redone so that there was an entrance from the dining area. It was perfect! The boathouse also recently acquired uplighting, and was able to offer it to us at a lower price than our DJ. Bonus! The staff at the Boathouse was also phenomenal - I worked with Jeannette throughout the process of visiting, booking, paying for the space (the online payment system is very convenient), and the wedding. She was incredibly responsive via email and patiently answered my seemingly endless list of questions! She worked with me to schedule two rehearsals because my officiant was out of town the day before the wedding, and was always accommodating when it came to my busy teaching schedule. She also allowed us to drop off decorations and non-refrigerated items the day before so there wasn't as much to think about the day of the wedding. On the big day, Erin and Heather manned the front desk, answered questions, and helped direct guests throughout the night. If we could do it over, we would choose the Boathouse again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our big day so special!

The Boathouse was extremely accommodating from beginning to the end of the planning process. They helped schedule tours, drops offs and the rehearsal. We used the inside ceremony area (good thing because it rained on our wedding day) and the natural light was fantastic. We also did our first look on the balcony, as well as the cocktail hour. I couldn't be happier with the openness, helpfulness and overall such a beautiful place.

Jeannette and Elaine were excellent! My only complaints were that the tables at the reception were not set up according to the floor diagram they asked for, and the woman at the front desk turned away guests to the rehearsal dinner because she had the wrong start time. Other than that, the space was beautiful and the staff helpful.

My husband and I got married on August 22 2015 and chose the Camden County Boathouse as our reception venue. We loved being able to choose a venue and then choosing a caterer to go along with our needs. The venue is absolutely stunning as is the ambiance and scenic surroundings. The wrap around deck gives it an added bonus!!! The staff was courteous and attentive from beginning to end! We had nothing but positive experiences with this venue and the staff!

My sister had her wedding here and while it was conveniently located and had a nice view of the river it has a really awkward layout. The dance floor is smack in front of the main entrance to the space meaning you have to push through people dancing to get to your table. There is a cute little space for an outdoor ceremony just down the sidewalk which is adorable, BUT here's the real reason I give this place two stars: My parents were paying for the wedding and two weeks out from the event after paying everything required by their contract all of a sudden "extra" fees start appearing all over the place. They nickel and dimed us at every turn in those last two weeks. We had favor bags that we DIY'd that we brought there to use and instead of using them they used these generic paper bags that just said "Thank You" on them amongst other "forgotten" small things. We were also told we could pack everything up and pick it up the next day (we asked weeks ahead of time). AS GUESTS ARE LEAVING THE RECEPTION they tell us "all of your things have to be out of here before you leave tonight". CRAZY RUDE. So my poor family (including the bride and groom) is in our wedding attire, packing up all of our cars because they have another event the next day and our stuff was in the way. All in all, not worth it for the nickel and diming and lying.

I can't tell you enough how WONDERFUL our wedding was because of the location. There is a beautiful outdoor space by the water for a ceremony, but unfortunately due to the weather, we couldn't use it. Luckily for us, the venue has floor to ceiling windows in the ballroom which allowed for gorgeous natural light during our indoor ceremony. Guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and awesome it was. Cocktail hour was on the deck and easily accommodated our 135+ guests. I would use this venue again and again!

We were so happy with our wedding reception at the Camden County Boathouse. Our ceremony took place in Philadelphia, but we found that many reception locations in the city were outside of our budget. The Boathouse was perfect. Elaine was super helpful with any questions we had, and the space fit our 168 guests easily. We had a great day and would recommend the location to others!

The Boathouse is an amazing place for a wedding! The views are awesome and wrap-around deck allows access to outside for any weather. We sat 125 people easily and more could have been accommodated. It was spacious but felt cozy for our November wedding. Couldn't have picked a better place for our special day! They do not honor people holding dates so if you do want the Boathouse and have a date- make sure you book ASAP!

From the time we became engaged and decided on our venue to be Camden County Boathouse to the day after our wedding day, they have been so helpful! Eager to please the future bride & groom! I am an email kind of girl, and Elaine from the boathouse was a quick responder, always with answers to my many questions. I had an amazing wedding day, and I know it would not have been the same without the help from the Camden County Boathouse. Thank you all so much in making our wedding day magical. -Mike & Ashlie 9/21/13

I had booked my Sept. 2013 wedding reception at the boathouse in 2011. They make you choose from one of their preferred caterers though. I signed a contract with one that was in my price range (the others were out of my budget so I didn't even bother with them), but that caterer ended up overbooking after I had signed with him. The caterer refunded my deposit since he overbooked and I was forced to move my wedding and reception to a new venue. The boathouse's contract states they will not refund the deposit (which was half of the full amount) unless someone else books the same day and pays in full. I was very disappointed that I was forced to choose from one of their preferred caterers and because their caterer screwed up, I had to move my ceremony and reception. The ceremony was going to be at the caterer's location and then they were going to cater our reception at the boathouse. I never wanted to have my ceremony at the boathouse and I expressed this from the beginning and I was not about to pick another one of their caterers that was out of my budget anyway. But the boathouse did not accept responsibility for their "preferred" caterer's screw up and did not even offer to refund part of the deposit. They just apologized and that was it. I had no choice but to move everything because their one caterer I could afford screwed up and was very rude to me and never even apologized to me for over booking when I had signed with him in 2011. Their caterers represent them as well and if they are going to make clients choose from their list of caterers, they should stand behind them and accept responsibility for their actions as well. I should not be "forced" into doing something I never wanted to do or can't afford because their caterer screwed up. Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life and I was forced into having to change everything and I had to eat the majority of the cost for it too. I emailed a week before our wedding asking if someone else booked our day but they said no one had. I replied professionally expressing my disappointment at how they handled the situation and that they really should refund my deposit (or at least part of it!) because it's not like I just randomly decided to cancel, I was forced into doing so. I was just told "I'll see what I can do" and that was the last I heard from them. Don't book your wedding or any event here. They just take your money and don't care about their clients at all. By the way, the caterer was Lakeside Manor. Their food was not very good either. After I moved my wedding to a new venue, I realized how bad Lakeside Manor's food was. Maybe everything would have gone smoother if the entire day was at the boathouse, but that's not what I wanted and I was told that it wouldn't be a problem. I lost a lot of money, but I did get MUCH better customer service and quality food at the new venue.

MY THEME WAS "MIAMI ON THE RIVER" AND THIS WAS THE PERFECT VENUE TO HOST IT. THE WEATHER WAS PICTURE PERFECT AND THE BOATHOUSE REALLY LENT ITSELF TO MAKE ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE. ASK FOR ELAINE. SHE IS A DOLL!!!

I loved the boathouse because it was the most unique, affordable venue in this area. After reading other reviews, I was worried it would be too crowded at my wedding with 165 guests and a 12-piece band. But it was perfect. Plenty of room to mingle and dance!
