George Sent on 19/08/2025The Boat House Made Our Wedding Truly Perfect! Strongly Recommend!
We cannot recommend The Boat House at Aston Marina in Stone, Staffordshire highly enough. From the moment we chose them as our wedding venue, every detail was handled with the utmost care and professionalism, and they made our day truly unforgettable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request we made was tailored perfectly to ensure our wedding was exactly how we imagined it.
A very special thank you must go to Lizzy, our Wedding Manager, who brought all our ideas and wishes to life. Whenever we had a request, she went above and beyond to make it happen, and her dedication meant we felt completely confident that our day would be everything we hoped for.
Ash, who supported us as our Wedding Co-ordinator and through catering, was another incredible part of our journey. From our food tasting event she gave us such a memorable experience that we specifically asked for her support on the big day. She tailored everything to our exact needs with great attention to detail, especially with allergy and dietary requirements. Ash is a real asset to The Boat House and her presence made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day fully.
Alex, also in Wedding Co-ordination and catering, played a vital role from the day before right through to the wedding itself. He worked tirelessly to ensure our vision came to life, often offering professional insights that made our ideas even more elegant and unique. His contribution was invaluable.
Together, Ash and Alex were a fantastic team. Their approach on the day was the perfect balance of flexibility and structure, which ensured that not only we but all our guests had an enjoyable and memorable experience. We truly could not have done it without them, and every couple deserves such a supportive duo on their wedding day.
A huge thank you as well to all of the bar staff who worked so hard to keep our guests happy and hydrated throughout the day. Every drink was served with a smile, and the atmosphere was always welcoming. A special shout out to the barmaid who poured her very first Baby Guinness and absolutely smashed it! a little moment that added to the fun and memories of the day.
The venue itself was nothing short of perfect. Having exclusive use of the grounds meant that all of our guests could enjoy both the inside and outside areas freely, without any distractions or interruptions. The outdoor space was beautifully spacious and the addition of garden games brought such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. With two licensed areas for ceremonies, both indoors and outdoors, couples have the choice of setting that best suits them, which is a wonderful option.
In every way The Boat House delivered beyond our expectations. The venue, the team and the service combined to create the most special day of our lives. Everything we could have hoped for was here, and more. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to celebrate their wedding. -

We recently had our wedding at The Boat House, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the entire experience.
From the very beginning, staff were friendly, welcoming and informative. The communication was nothing short of excellent throughout the entire process. No question was ever too small, nor were there ever too many questions – they were all answered very thoroughly and promptly. Not only that, every email was met with professionalism and kindness. It truly felt like we were in good hands and it was so easy to build a rapport with the girls who work for The Boat House.
The venue itself is beautiful and well maintained. It’s very modern with lots of light, which is great because it didn’t feel like it needed a lot of dressing up. Lots of places for photos and for guests to enjoy the day. The dressing room has also recently been renovated which made the getting ready process so luxurious.
The food on the wedding day was even better than the day we did our menu tasting. We were impressed with the extensive selection of dishes available and the fact The Boat House catered to our preferences and guests dietary requirements so well. Each dish was presented so well and all the portions were generous.
Whilst all of the staff we dealt with at The Boat House were great, we would also like to give a special mention to Abby who was absolutely incredible with us. From helping us set up the day beforehand, to helping look after my young niece before going down the aisle – Abby’s efforts always went beyond expectation. Nothing was too much trouble and she ensured that everything on the day ran like clockwork – I literally didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which made the entire process and day so stress free. Abby is an absolute credit to The Boat House and we can’t thank her enough.
In summary, The Boat House provided an unforgettable experience for our special day. We genuinely couldn’t fault any part of the process and are incredibly grateful to every member of the team for making our day even better than we could have imagined.

The most amazing day!
When we first visited Aston Marina, we absolutely fell in love. We loved everything about it, it’s beautiful grounds, the brightness of the main room, the unique photo opportunities, but the main thing that makes Aston Marina so special is its amazing staff. We initially dealt with Becky, who was so lovely and welcoming. Every silly question was answered and all the staff were so responsive. We were welcomed to every open day by all the team! When Becky went on maternity leave, Lizzy took us over. Initially, I was so upset about losing Becky but Lizzy was equally as amazing! She guided us through the end of the process, and ensured every single detail was thought of. I particularly loved how Aston Marina listened to previous brides and in the two years we booked made many improvements to the venue, including redecorating the getting ready room to make it more practical, changing the chairs and introducing a curtain to divide the space. On the day, the presence of everyone was so calming. We were at the forefront of everyone’s minds, making sure we were happy, fed and watered! I’ve honestly never been to a wedding that ran so smoothly and that was all due to the staff there on the day. The food was amazing and came out at the same time so guests were not waiting whilst others were eating. The time between courses was perfect too and the food was absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail was incredible, especially Abby choosing to play one of our special songs for the last song of the night - making us very emotional (she only knew about this due to listening to my partner’s speech on the day)! We will be eternally grateful to Aston Marina for the memories they created for us on the most special day of our lives.The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:

Johanna Sent on 17/08/2025A beautiful setting for a wedding 💙
Right from our first communication with Aston Marina, the staff could not have been more helpful. When we initially booked our wedding date we were given all the information we needed and advised on timings of when everything would happen. We had a menu tasting event well ahead of our wedding which gave us plenty of time to decide on our options (all of which were delicious!). Any email queries we had were responded to quickly and professionally (and we had lots of questions!). Abby was an absolute star both in person and over email and we were never made to feel like anything we wanted was too much. On the wedding day, the staff made sure everything ran smoothly and communicated with our suppliers so we could enjoy our day. Ash kept us updated with timings throughout the day and was there when we needed him. So many of our guests commented how beautiful the venue was and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Great bar, delicious food, helpful staff, an absolutely beautiful setting for a wedding, would 100% recommend this venue!The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:
Jo & George, thank you SO much for the loveliest of reviews!

We are very proud to have Abby and Ashley on our team and we are overjoyed to hear that they went above and beyond to ensure your big day was everything you dreamt of and more.
It was an absolute pleasure to be able to host your wedding at The Boat House and we hope to see you both soon! Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Vardy! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together! -

The Best Day!!!
We had our wedding at Aston Marina on 26th May 2025. It was the second venue we had visited back in 2022 and knew it was the one we wanted and booked there and then!
The team were incredible throughout the whole process and always happy and available to help whenever you needed them - even though we had booked a few years in advance!
We had the pleasure of dealing with Lizzy for the majority of the run up to the wedding and she was so amazing, listening to my constant questions and me worrying about my youngest child walking down the aisle on the day!
Nothing was too much for her and the team on the day of the wedding and because of this day we had the most amazing day with our family and friends.
On a seperate note, the grounds are amazing for photos! We had such a lovely range of backgrounds with the lovely flowers and trees around the gardens!
Cannot thank you all enough!!The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:

Mark Sent on 10/11/2024The perfect day, exactly what we had hoped for
We had our wedding at The Boathouse on 2nd November 2024. The team were fantastic from start to finish. Abby was our wedding coordinator and she was there throughout the process. Whenever we had any questions nothing was too much trouble and her replies were prompt and informative. She was so supportive and made us feel like our wedding was the only one the Boathouse we’re dealing with. All the staff on the day went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough. Our guests all complimented the amazing food and the venue.
Thank you to Abby and The Boathouse team.The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:
