From the reviews
Good load in for the band and Meagan the Party Planner is Amazing and Very Helpful !!
This venue is beautiful for a waterfront reception and the owner, James was friendly and very accommodating. If you love nautical vibes, you’ll love this place with its outside deck/dock area and spacious reception area.
Getting married at The Boathouse Shelter Island
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.
