Renowned for its beauty and charm, the Boathouse is the ideal place to celebrate all of life’s grandest events. Imagine the romance of a waterfront wedding ceremony, followed by a reception that is as beautiful and unique as the love you share.

Picture a holiday banquet, birthday bash or Bar/Bat Mitzvah at this award winning destination celebrated for its soaring ceilings, sprawling deck and architectural detail.

As the only year-round waterfront special events facility in Hartford, the Boathouse is the region’s popular party destination, providing guests with a one-of-a-kind location and seasoned culinary teams committed to providing you with an outstanding selection of menu and catering choices designed to fit your individual taste and style.

We’re dedicated to making your special occasion a complete success.

Remember, no matter what the event, if it’s worth celebrating, it’s worth celebrating at the Greater Hartford Jaycees Community Boathouse!

Areas within our parks may be reserved for outdoor functions including wedding ceremonies, club picnics, church events and family reunions. Whatever the occasion, Riverfront Recapture invites you to celebrate with style by taking advantage of the wonderful facilities and natural beauty of our Riverfront Parks.

The Boathouse, new patio spaces, and surrounding grounds offer as many options as you can imagine. In addition to our Lincoln Financial Community Room, we now offer a beautiful landscaped patio where guests enjoy themselves al fresco. The patio is a natural setting for a barbeque or clam bake, or outdoor meeting or wedding ceremony.

The Boathouse features a team of seasoned culinary professionals that offer an impressive array of menu choices, catering styles and prices. It’s the only facility of its kind that lets you obtain competitive bids from our Preferred Caterers, who are insured, licensed, and exclusively contracted to provide service in the Riverfront Parks.

Proceeds from private events support our youth programs and free public events that enhance the lives of those that live, work, and play in Greater Hartford.
