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 picked Aston Marina early on because the venue was stunning, it was close to home for us and the packages were really good value especially with including the catering and drinks.
They checked in just the right amount throughout the process, we never felt hassled or abandoned! They thought of all the small details so we didn't have to, and Lizzy guided us through all the choices we would need to make and what to think about.
Our ceremony was non traditional with a celebrant and that didn't faze them at all which made us feel very welcome.
The food was outstanding and the many vegans attending said they were amazed the vegan food felt decadent and rich as well, not like an afterthought. They were very grateful.
The team were flexible and so kind and supportive on the day, nothing was too much trouble for them.
We can't thank Aston Marina enough for making this once in a lifetime day so special for us.

Jessica Sent on 24/08/2026The best wedding venue!
We booked our wedding at the Boat House at Aston Marina and could not have had a better experience! From our first visit to all the planning Lizzy was on hand to help us, always super helpful and quick to reply. On the day everything ran so smoothly, all the staff were incredible and our guests specifically commented on how accommodating they were for dietary requirements. We stayed on the boat (Dragonfly) the night of our Wedding and it was so lovely to stay at the venue and amazing to wake up to the sound of geese and a lovely breakfast! We had the most amazing wedding day, thank you so much!The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:

Lya Sent on 14/07/2026Fabulous venue and staff!
I couldn't have picked a better wedding venue for my special day. Everything about the venue is just PERFECT! I went for a walk around Aston Marina years ago and there was a wedding at The Boat House. The minute I spotted the venue I knew straight away I'd want to get married there one day! We went for the Twilight package which was perfect for the size of wedding we had and it was such good value for money. The planners including Abby have been so responsive and attentive. We had guests coming from all over the country and every single person said how stunning the venue was. Thank you so much for making my special day so special and wonderful!The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:

Emily Sent on 05/07/2026Amazing June Wedding
We booked the twilight package at The Boat House for our wedding in June and it was amazing value for money. The staff were excellent, especially Lizzy, from first contact to the moment we left the venue the day after the wedding.
On the day they were really flexible letting us have early access to decorate and get ready, they helped coordinate where people needed to be for the ceremony, all food and drinks were served on time and the quality was excellent.
We added some extras to our package: a cheese wedding cake, shots of lemoncello and a night on the Dragon Fly. All were excellent and again, good value for money.
We would 100% recommend Aston Marina for a wedding or any other event!The Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:

Your kind words about the team really do mean so much, and I'll be sure to pass them on to everyone who helped make your day so special.
Thank you again for choosing Aston Marina to celebrate your wedding. We wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories together, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!
Best wishes,

Lauren Sent on 29/06/2026Incredible
We had our wedding at The Boat House yesterday and it was perfect.
The setting is beautiful and the food was incredible!
We booked with Abby and she is truly amazing at her job, we knew from our first meeting that she would do everything to make the day perfect. Communication was excellent and any questions were answered quickly and with care.
On the day, Abby was on hand along with Alex and they were amazing, making sure everything went to plan and getting a very nervous bride and groom, along with all the guests to exactly where they needed to be. I cant praise them both enough. All staff on the day were amazing too, so warm, friendly and professional.
We're so glad that we chose the boat house for our wedding, because it made the day so much more special than we could have imagined.
Thank you Abby, Alex and all of the team. You're all amazing at creating the most special of daysThe Boat House @ Aston Marina's reply:
Lauren & Dan, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience from the first meeting through to your wedding day itself felt warm, professional, and supported. We are incredibly proud to have Abby as part of the Events team and we’re delighted she helped guide you through every detail on your wedding planning journey. Alex and the rest of the operations team really enjoyed assisting you both on the day to ensure your wedding is everything you dreamed of. It was an absolute honour to host your wedding at The Boat House and to be part of the moment you became Mr & Mrs Kidd-Martin. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!🤍 -

Kenneth Sent on 29/06/2026Totally professional.
Our daughter and her then future husband decided on Aston Marina as the venue for their wedding. They are now married after a superb day at the Boathouse.
From my very first contact with the events team, and specifically Abby, I realised that the people involved know what customer service is. Every email was dealt with quickly and provided exactly the information required.
We were able to pay for the event in instalments, and a receipt was sent electronically very quickly. The level of communication was excellent and I soon realised that nothing was too much trouble for these professionals.
The wedding fair, which was hosted in the Boathouse, enabled us to meet representatives of companies that the events staff trusted. We saw the size of tables and how they could be presented. It was really useful to see the whole of the facility with the bride’s changing area, the central area where the meal would be served and the external areas with lots of comfortable seating.
We took advantage of the weather and had the ceremony outside. I know from discussion with Abby that they can change from inside to outside, or vice versa very quickly.
On the day, Abby was there to coordinate things and was very ably supported by her colleagues. I felt secure on a day when it was extremely important to me that everything went well. The team is made up of consummate professionals, working seamlessly to deliver a quality experience.
The support provided as the ceremony started and progressed was simply like having a safety net of people whose sole purpose was to ensure that everything went smoothly. I am so grateful to all of the staff who ensured that our day was perfect.
The meal was beautifully presented and delivered smoothly to the guests. In my opinion, the food was well cooked and flavoursome. A view shared by many others I spoke to after the meal.
There may be things I have not mentioned, but as I write this review I do so with a smile on my face as I reflect on a truly fabulous day in a great venue supported by true professionals.
I would recommend Aston Marina and their events team without reservation.
A very happy father,

We wish the new Mr & Mrs Willetts many years of happiness together and we look forward to welcoming you back with us soon in the restaurant! -

Our wedding day at this venue was everything we hoped for and more. The views are absolutely stunning and made the whole day feel magical.
The service was exceptional — every staff member we interacted with was warm, professional, and incredibly helpful.
The food was fantastic, beautifully presented and full of flavour.
Abby, our wedding coordinators was brilliant; knowledgeable, organised, and always on hand to guide us through every detail.
To Rob and Mac, nothing was too much trouble for you and your team, and your support made the day run seamlessly.
It truly was the perfect day, thank you!
