The Boathouse Wedding Videographer: Three Reasons to get Married by the Water
The Wedding Arbour at The Boathouse
The Boathouse features a private wedding reception area and bar, a terrace overlooking the water and even has luxury accommodation on site, so you can host all elements of your wedding here.
You also get use of an Edwardian style launch ‘The Gentlemen Jim’, and you can even choose to arrive at The Boathouse in this vessel if you wish. I would definitely recommend this (not least for the amazing video / photo opportunity).

Three Reasons to get Married at The Boathouse
The View
My favourite element of this venue has to be the stunning unspoilt views across Ormesby Broad. I love the outdoors, so having a venue so seamlessly integrated into it’s surroundings has to be one of this venues best features.
The jetty and waterside terrace also provide a perfect backdrop for romantic couple portraits.
Having the use of The Boat adds a truly unique and memorable touch to your wedding day and another great video opportunity (is that a real phrase…)

2. The Light
Good lighting is not something that is at the top of most brides wishlist, but as any good Videographer will tell you, lighting is one of the most important elements of composing beautiful video.
The Boathouse has large windows that drink in the beautiful views and flood the venue with natural light. Perfect.
3. Convenience
Although there may be many valid reasons to base your wedding day across multiple different locations, having everything you need in one place can only be a good thing.
There is a lot to think about on your big day and many moving parts that need to come together to make your wedding happen. Having everything you need in one venue reduces the amount of stressful planning and coordination and is much more convenient for your guests.
In my experience relaxed couples have the most fun on their wedding day so anything you can do to reduce the amount of stress or friction you encounter shouldn’t be underestimated.

Cons
No wedding venue is perfect and I have also observed a couple of drawbacks to this venue that you may also want to consider:
Limited Availability: due to high demand there may be limited availability during summer months, so if you like this venue it’s advisable to book in advance, particularly in peak season
Remote location: due to it’s rural location it’s advisable to consider the transportation and logistics involved in getting to and from the venue, particularly for guest travelling from further afield.
