We had our wedding here on April 20th. It was the wedding of my dreams. The team made the process so incredibly smooth. Highly recommend this venue!!

I've been here now for a Rehearsal Dinner & a Company Dinner, and their smaller banquet room was a perfect fit. You feel like you have your own space & are very well cared for. Food, bar and atmosphere are perfect.

Boatworks waterfront restaurant has become our go to place to celebrate special events in the life of our family! We just celebrated my father‘s 90th birthday with 41 guests at Boatworks waterfront restaurant and it couldn’t have been more special! The place is beautiful. The staff is accommodating. And the food is excellent!

Boatwerks proved to be the perfect choice for my Valentine's celebration. The culinary experience was outstanding, and the servers played a crucial role in ensuring a comfortable and sophisticated ambiance. Hannah's unwavering assistance from start to finish made the planning process enjoyable. I confidently recommend Boatwerks for any event – a 100% endorsement!

I absolutely love hosting events here! Hannah is wonderful to work with and she does all of the leg work. I've hosted multiple events at this venue and will continue to come back. The catering and bar staff are so friendly, fun, and professional. I never have to worry about a thing during an event here. Plus, the beautiful rooms and breathtaking views are a bonus. I highly recommend them for your next corporate event.

We had our company Holiday Party at Boatwerks this past weekend and it went perfectly. Hannah was very nice and worked well with us on scheduling and food options. The service at the party and food were very good. We highly recommend Boatwerks to cater any company event or party!

This was our second year hosting a Christmas gathering for nearly 100 people. From the very first consult to the end, the staff at Boatwerks did an amazing job. They are super attentive, kind, and willing to go above and beyond. It's a great place to hold an event!

The staff was fantastic, the food was great, especially the carving station with prime rib

We held an event at The cottage at the Ravines in Saugatuck MI through Boatwerks waterfront venues. Tracey Barry is the event sales manager I had the pleasure to work with. She assured me the venue would be perfect, beautiful and we would love it. Tracey was 100% accurate! Everyone loved it and it was perfect!

"Our workplace has held its annual Christmas party at Boatwerks for the past few years, and it has been a fantastic experience every time. The set up is impeccable, the food is delicious, and the service is top-notch. I would highly recommend Boatwerks as a venue for any event!"

I held a work dinner program at Boatwerks and couldn’t have been happier. the banquet coordinator was super helpful with setting up the room just right. The food was excellent as was the waitstaff. Such a beautiful view right on the water.I will not hesitate to hold my next event there.

We live using Boatwerks for events and parties. We had another amazing experience with great food and drinks and service.

Had a lovely private dinner at Boatwerks! Food and service where great! Loved the location and being able to watch the yachts cruise on by!

They were so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. Everyone had a great time at our event and the food was delicious!

We hosted an employee appreciation dinner at Boatwerks in the Macatawa Room. It's a beautiful cozy room with a fireplace, overlooking the patio and lake. Such a nice setting for a upscale dinner, everyone in our group had a great time. Several people commented on the great food and the exceptional service. Will use them agian.

The BEST place to have your wedding! Boatwerks was an incredible wedding venue. We got married this past weekend and it went off without a hitch. All the employees (Hannah, waitstaff, cooks, bartenders, et al) were all professional and couldn’t say enough about the quality of service they provided. The venue speaks for itself. Incredible views of the water on your big day! What else is there to say? Hey that rhymes… There are 2 spots to get drinks (indoor/outdoor) and folding doors to dance in and out. Also outdoor cocktail tables. Drinks were poured well. The FOOD WAS RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING. We loved the beer and salmon served plates and so did all of our guests. Also loved the potatoes and green beans. The cakes, cupcakes, and gluten free cupcakes were also incredible. Guys/gals get changing suites and can order drinks to them. Perfect for getting ready close by. Speaking of close by, Kollen park is a stones throw away for gorgeous pictures. 100/10 would recommend Boatwerks to others

Boatwerks did an awesome job for our professional meeting. Staffing and food was outstanding.

Boatwerks works with you to ensure that every detail is perfect. They provide so many options for food and beverages, and they help you figure out approximately how much of everything you need. The food is amazing; it's so nice having it cooked right on site at a restaurant facility. The room was set up beautifully and on time. All staff were kind and helpful!

The facility was amazing. It’s right on the lake, the patio outside was perfect for a beautiful summer afternoon/evening rehearsal dinner. Our server even brought out yard games! The food was amazing, too! Definitely was a great time and there were many compliments from our guests.

I loved the food we had for our dinner after the ceremony. Hannah put a vegetarian option for my one vegetarian, by giving her a choice between three different options. I presented the options and she told me it was excellent! The food overall was very good, and all my selections were made amazingly. I am VERY happy that we choose Boatwerks to hold the event. We choose the green beans, marble potatoes & penne pasta with the beef and the chicken!

The perfect wedding venue! It was so pretty...the reception room opened up to the patio where we had our ceremony with a picturesque backdrop of Lake Macatawa. We can't stop talking about the food! Great service. Thanks Boatwerks!

We recently had our wedding at Boatwerks, and we cannot recommend it enough! Our guests had an incredible time, and some even said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We did not have or hear a single complaint the entire night. If you are in Michigan looking for a waterfront location that has both indoor and outdoor areas, look no further! We were initially worried about the restaurant being right next door, but we never even noticed on the day of. We used the spot for both ceremony and reception and used the suites to get ready. We loved every second of our day there!

The venue was beautiful and Hannah was very helpful and responsive to questions. We got so many compliments on the food from our guests. The bar staff were wonderful and engaged with our bridal party and guests! They really made us so comfortable and we had confidence that the staff were taking care of things so we could enjoy the day with our family and friends

The waterfront views of the lake from this wedding dinner venue is just awesome. The event coordinator was great at suggestions to make things so easy. The food was fresh, hot, and served on time, and then either cleared or replenished immediately and the staff was on top of everything, and very friendly. Would recommend to all to host an event at this venue.

Beautiful location, on Lake Macatawa. Excellent staff, delicious food.

Got married here on 7.21.23 and we had an excellent experience! the food was amazing and the staff was helpful and friendly! You cant beat the atmosphere and the location is just breathtaking! Our guests loved being able to sit by the lake or dance depending on what they were up for!

We had a smooth and efficient planning process. The event itself was amazing. Couldn't have asked for better food or staff.

We used Boatwerks for our rehersal dinner, and were so thankful that we did! We did the taco buffet dinner which was a simple, easy meal all our guests enjoyed. We were able to have a waterfront meal and enjoy time outside as well. I highly recommend Boatwerks for you rehersal dinner!

Boatwerks was the perfect spot for our reception! We loved the ability to have an indoor/outdoor reception. The service was great, meals were hot and served in a very timely manner. Boatwerks staff was experienced and able to provide a lot of direction and advise on timing and details for the event ahead of time. They were very organized and I always felt like they had everything under control and running smoothly.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and it was great! Costs were well quoted and explained. Food was delicious and our vegetarian option was well accommodated.

The space is perfect for many gatherings, the staff the event night took it over the edge - in a positive manner. We LOVED the team working the night of our event.

We scheduled a family reunion during Tulip Time Festival and gathered at Boatwerks with about 70 of us present. The dining room was spacious, easily accommodating all of us, and its many windows afforded us a wonderful view of the lake. The buffet lunch was right on schedule, hot, and tasty. Screen and tech hookups made video presentations easily accessible. All in all, an ideal venue for group events.

I recently hosted a large dinner event with over 100 guests, including a cocktail hour, dinner service and guest presenter. The accommodations, views, the waitstaff, bartenders were all so helpful, kind and professional. The event manager took time to meet with me prior to the event, checked in before leaving the evening of our event and did a warm handoff welcome to the new manager on duty for the evening to ensure no questions or requests went unanswered. We received many compliments on the evening. We look forward to doing future events here.

We rented the Macatawa Room for my dads 80th birthday celebration and it was perfect. The tables were set very nicely and the room was a great space where we could walk around and talk with each other.

We recently used Boatwerks for our daughter's wedding reception. The food, staff and all the details were amazing. We were so happy and all of our guests commented on the magnificent view and the food and details. Boatwerks and their staff especially Hannah, Jason and Kristi were with us the entire time and made sure it all worked. Amazing reception location.

We were happy to have our corporate Christmas dinner at Boatwerks in their Macatawa room. It was set up nicely and we were thankful they were happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. The food, bar, and staff are amazing. Thank you!

I planned an event for my employer. Hannah was easy to work with and willingly met our needs. Attendees commented on great food..

Went to Boatworks for a work Christmas Party, had a great time working with Hannah the Events manager. She helped sort everything out and get set up for our event. Food was amazing and customer service was above beyond!

Boatwerks was one of the best choices I made for our wedding - what an AMAZING space to host a reception! You cannot beat the views, especially if you are blessed with amazing weather like we were! The indoor space is large (we had around 150 guests) and it did not feel crammed at all! The staff was a huge help in creating the layout I wanted for the space as well, and I loved that they did both long and round tables! The outdoor space plus an additional bar outside was great, and there were never any lines waiting to get a drink. The only caveat I had was they really had all my vendors in crunch time since they allow them in at 2pm to start setting up (with guests arriving at 4:30pm), therefore I had to pay for extra hours for my vendors to be let in early and have enough time to set up. Other than that, the food was amazing per usual at this restaurant and the staff helped me pick the best sides that were "in season" and that plated well. Overall, I would book this space again for my reception if I had to!

Boatwerks was a wonderful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Hannah was our planner and was an asset at helping us with organizing and planning. Jason was our day of coordinator and was extremely attentive and organized, making sure our layout and timeline went smooth. The food was outstanding and better than expected! Couldn't recommend them enough!!

We held a company event here -Summer employee appreciation party - and had a fantastic time. The food was excellent and a nice menu to choose from, Bartender was fabulous and the space is so beautiful ! We rented the patio with our space and everyone had an awesome time !

We had a perfect reception here! Jean was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. The food was wonderful and our guests all said they had a lovely time!

Amazing place to hold an event! Highly recommend!

We booked the macatawa room for our rehearsal dinner and we cannot recommend it enough! Everyone loved the food at our rehearsal dinner and we had a wonderful time taking photos on the deck by the water! Many of our guests had never been to west Michigan before and Boatwerks was the perfect spot to show them why we love Holland so much!

Everyone had a wonderful time thanks to the beautiful venue, the delicious food, excellent staff, and Jean’s help creating the event. We have nothing but good things to say about the experience. Without question we will consider Boatwerks for any future events and would not hesitate to recommend this venue to others looking for an event space.

The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was top-notch. We received lots of positive reviews from our employees. We will use Boatwerks again!

The Boatwerks team was great to work with! Jean was very helpful and professional with all the planning details. The staff, night of the event, were very accommodating and polite. Everything was as we asked it to be and if we needed something in addition they provided that as well. The food was very good! We would definitely use this venue again!

I recently held my son's rehearsal supper at Boatwerks in Holland. Although we are from out of town, Ms. Ellis made the entire planning, booking and evening absolutely painless. She communicated clearly and quickly about menus, linens, pricing and popular picks. All questions were quickly answered. We were impressed. The feedback from the attendees was positive. Good value for the money. I would definitely recommend.

I would highly recommend planning an event at Boatwerks, they do an exceptional job! Exceeding expectations!
