| We got had our wedding reception on the | | | | as not only do you want to ensure you can get |
| Elizabethan boat. We also looked at the Erasmus | | | | the date you want, but there will be a lot more |
| and Golden Salamander, but the Elizabethan was | | | | to organise for a wedding compared to a normal |
| the prettiest boat on the river so won hands | | | | Thames Boat Charter. Make sure you view at |
| down. I can understand why people like the | | | | least three different boats and compare prices, |
| Erasmus though as she has a more modern | | | | service and quality. If the boat looks scruffy and |
| contemporary feel and computer controlled lighting | | | | the company seem disorganised it won't be a |
| system which makes for a good party after the | | | | surprise if your special day is equally disorganised |
| wedding formalities are over. The Erasmus can | | | | and 'scruffy'! The River Thames is a place where |
| also hold nearly 350 people where as the | | | | you get what you pay for, but go with your gut |
| Elizabethan can only take up to 235 so if we had | | | | feeling and don't get pushed into chartering a boat |
| had a larger party we wouldn't have had a choice | | | | that doesn't feel right. Make sure you have spare |
| in the matter! | | | | capacity too - a boat that can carry 200 people |
| Our day was even better because it was the | | | | will probably only ba able to seat 80 or so for a |
| Mayors Thames Festival and we saw the Great | | | | dinner so you need to be aware you may need |
| River Race the day before the wedding. This is | | | | to go for a larger boat than you would if you |
| quite a site as simply hundreds of small craft | | | | were having a disco cruise . . . |
| powered by rowers race down the river. The | | | | If you choose the right company you can't go |
| Mayors has fireworks similar to those at the | | | | wrong - they will make sure they cover all the |
| london Eye for New Year's Eve so we finished | | | | details at the outset and ensure at least the |
| our evening disco cruise postioned near the Royal | | | | venue is as low stress as possible!e drink of the |
| Festival Hall and London Eye watching an amazing | | | | regatta season Pimms! The key thing to |
| fireworks display in front of St Paul's Cathedral. | | | | remember is there is something for everyone, |
| The river Thames really is a very special place for | | | | every budget and every occasion. |
| celebrating your marriage. | | | | o get friends and family together or wine and |
| I would highly recommend planning well in advance | | | | dine those important business clients. |
