Home to Brooklyn’s most elegant weddings for almost 100 years, the Boathouse offers a breathtaking natural setting and a stately backdrop for your special occasion. Built in 1905, the Boathouse was one of the first buildings in New York City to be declared a landmark.

Extensively renovated in 2002, this historic structure is available for rental for everything from formal weddings to anniversaries.

"Choosing the Boathouse (which we live close to) was the first big decision we made. It was always a place that felt romantic to us. It is so iconically Brooklyn but still feels like an escape from the city..."  - Sofia and Ben. Click here to see Sofia and Ben's wedding day.
