Everyone had a wonderful time on Saturday, and we really appreciate all of your help throughout the planning process. We also want to note how phenomenal the staff and crew were throughout the event (bar staff, security, all of the crew we met on the dock, etc.). Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to relax and fully enjoy ourselves!

We all had a great time on 20th September and I have received a lot of positive feedback from those who attended. Thank you very much for your assistance in arranging the evening and for your staff on the night who were great, the DJ was particularly popular and played the perfect mix of music so that the dance floor was full by the end of the evening!

This was an event for our Companies 50th Anniversary to which clients were invited. From booking the event with Jo who was extremely helpful and professional to the crew who were great, the BBQ food was excellent and even the weather was kind. This is a truly fantastic way to see London at night, would highly recommend.

Thank you Sarah. And could you please pass on my thanks to the whole boat crew. Our day was fantastic and they all couldn't have been more helpful, it made the day so much more relaxing for us and fun. The crew were all very pleasant and accommodating, and all the guests we spoke to told us how much they loved it and what a good idea it was to have the reception on a boat. The food was also fantastic, exceeding our expectations, so well done all. Thanks again, Peter and Garry
