From the reviews

We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner of 31 people and the lakeside venue was perfect for the occasion. Jamie, in particular, was very helpful with ideas and suggestions during our planning of the event. She is responsive, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. The staff who worked our party were friendly and attentive.

Jamie did an exceptional job making our special day easy breezy, stress free and an overall wonderful time! Pricing was great, food was delicious and everything was set up beautifully by the time we got there. Plus you cant beat the view! I am so grateful we came across this venue, it is a day I will always remember!

★★★★★ — Emily, Jul 2025

We held our first client appreciation event at BoatHouse Club in May. Jamie is top notch in her role as the events manager. She and the staff worked very hard to ensure the party was a success. Jamie generously assisted in adding beautiful and personalized decor, use of a projector, and planning the beverages and meal.

Getting married at The BoatHouse Club on Canandaigua Lake

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
