About this listing

Imagine celebrating at the one of the most magical locations in the world. Plan your wedding at The Loeb Boathouse Central Park and create one-of-a-kind moments and memories in one of New York City’s most iconic venues.

A haven for romantics and nature lovers, this understated icon offers a rare tranquility within the ever-eclectic energy that defines Manhattan.

True to its name — rowboats drift about the adjacent lake, as they have for over 150 years.

Whether celebrating a special anniversary, meeting an old friend for lunch or enjoying a little spontaneous refreshment—The Loeb Boathouse offers one-of-a-kind choices to satisfy all of your senses.

Designed to beautifully coexist with its natural surroundings, The Loeb Boathouse is the only Manhattan venue right on a lake—allowing you to host your wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or corporate event in spectacular fashion.

While you’re here, why not join a 150-year-old tradition and explore the lake in a rented rowboat. Better yet, take a ride in an authentic Venetian gondola. With any luck, your gondolier might even break into song.

Also, listen for the calls of many indigenous birds, as The Loeb Boathouse is a haven for avid birdwatchers. Proof can be found in the official “Bird Register,” an unpretentious 2-inch loose-leaf notebook where observations are recorded.

And finally, don’t forget to look for butterflies. To date, twenty-six species have been noted!

The private event space that we have available here is called the Lake Room, at 4,300 sqft it is located adjacent to the Restaurant. The room overlooks the lake on the South side with a 450sqft deck and is surrounded on the West and North side by a 3,300sqft English Garden. We are a single room facility; therefore, we do only one private event at a time. Saturday evening’s minimum is 165 guests and all other parts of the weekend, outside of a Saturday evening, is a minimum of 125 guests. The maximum capacity for our space is 230 guests comfortably with dancing and 300 guests seated without dancing.
