The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing

We hope that you had a productive week and a restful weekend! The Rubies & Pearls team has been working double time to make sure our upcoming wedding goes off without a hitch. This is crunch time and we are so excited.

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to visit a beautiful new restaurant and event venue, The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing, located on the banks of the James River. Let us take you on a little tour.

The restaurant occupies the first floor of the newly renovated power plant, which once provided electricity to Richmond's trolley cars.

While we were on sight we had the opportunity to taste the amazing food. We were served a spinach salad with orange peppers and olives, followed by stuffed chicken marsala with red potatoes and vegetables. To top off the delicious meal we were served a shot of cheesecake with chocolate mousse and fresh berries. The service was delightful and the scenery was breathtaking.

On the third floor, The Harbourmaster Suite is available for private events of 20 to 30 guests. With floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible views of the James River and the Richmond city skyline, The Harbourmaster Suite is perfect for a small rehearsal dinner or birthday gathering.

From there, you can take a glass elevator, or a flight of beautifully sculpted stairs down to the riverside tent pavillion, a beautiful space overlooking the James that can be used for weddings, receptions, or other events.

If you are looking for a rustic space for you upcoming wedding, rehearsal dinner, or other event, or maybe just a fresh new restaurant for a night out on the town we highly recommend The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing!
