Last reviewed August 8, 2026. Couples searching for The Boathouse New Westminster wedding venue will find a waterfront restaurant that currently accepts enquiries for weddings and several related celebrations. Its official event form specifically includes weddings, engagement events, rehearsal dinners, showers, cocktail receptions and private dinners among the available event types.

The current official location is at 900 Quayside Drive in New Westminster, beside the Fraser River at New West Quay. This is a material change from the older Vancouver contact information previously associated with the listing. The profile below therefore uses only the address and telephone number published on the current official location page.

Current identity and location

The confirmed business is The Boathouse Restaurant in New Westminster. Its current official location page publishes regular hours, online reservations, menus, an active telephone number and a private-events link. Those first-party signals support an active profile.

The restaurant describes its setting as being along the river at New West Quay. Its public dining choices include the dining room, bar and a seasonal open-air patio. Couples should treat the patio as a general restaurant feature unless the event team confirms that it can be included in a private wedding booking.

Services and specialization

The Boathouse offers private and semi-private dining spaces for celebrations. The official private-events page says its sales and event planners work with clients to customize an event using chef-driven cuisine selected by the host. The New Westminster location describes its regular menu as West Coast dining focused on seafood and premium steak.

Wedding relevance is directly documented in the event-enquiry form, which lists Wedding as an event type. The same form also accommodates engagement parties, bachelor or bachelorette events, cocktail receptions, rehearsal dinners, showers and private dinners. The official material does not establish a separate ceremony package, so couples seeking both ceremony and reception services should ask what can actually be hosted in the restaurant.

Event spaces and dining format

The official event material confirms private and semi-private dining spaces with waterfront views and seating for celebrations. It does not name the rooms, provide floor plans or publish wedding-specific layouts on the pages reviewed.

Cuisine is a central part of the offering. The restaurant’s public menu currently includes seafood, steak, shareable dishes, cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. Its FAQ also says vegetarian and gluten-free choices are available, but couples should request event-menu details and discuss allergies or dietary requirements directly rather than assuming the regular menu applies to a private function.

Service area and who it may suit

This is a fixed restaurant venue in New Westminster, not a documented travelling or off-site wedding service. It may suit couples considering a dining-led reception, rehearsal dinner, engagement gathering or other wedding event beside the Fraser River.

The venue may be particularly relevant to couples comparing private or semi-private restaurant rooms instead of a conventional banquet hall. No separate geographic service area is published. Couples and guests travelling from elsewhere in Metro Vancouver should assess the New Westminster location, transportation and timing for themselves.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include waterfront views, private and semi-private dining, an event-planning contact process and customizable chef-driven cuisine. The official FAQ also identifies wheelchair accessibility and nearby paid public parking, while the location page confirms a seasonal patio.

The principal limitation is missing planning detail. The reviewed official pages do not publish event-room names, capacities, floor plans, rental inclusions, wedding packages or ceremony information. Availability of the patio, exclusivity, music, dancing, décor, audiovisual equipment and outside vendors is also not established. These are points to confirm with the event team, not negative findings about the venue.

Pricing

Current wedding and private-event pricing is not explicitly published. The regular restaurant menu and happy-hour page contain individual food and drink prices, but those figures do not establish wedding package costs, room fees or event minimums.

Ask for a dated written proposal covering the space charge or minimum spend, food and beverage selections, taxes, gratuities or service charges, bar arrangements, deposits, cancellation terms, overtime and any equipment or staffing fees. Confirm how long a quotation remains valid because the official menu notes that items and prices can change.

Contact and booking

Couples can call the New Westminster restaurant at +1 (604) 525-3474 or use the private-event enquiry form on the official website. The form requests the event date, start and end times, event type, guest count and contact details.

The location page advises parties of eight or more to call the restaurant in advance. A normal dining reservation should not be treated as a confirmed private-event booking; couples should obtain written confirmation of the selected space, schedule, menu and financial terms.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, request the maximum seated and standing capacity for the exact room, whether the space is fully private, and which layouts are permitted. Ask whether a ceremony can take place onsite or whether the restaurant is being considered only for the reception or another wedding meal.

Also confirm accessibility for the chosen room, parking arrangements, patio access, menu substitutions, allergy procedures, beverage service, cake handling, décor rules, vendor access, music and dancing permissions, setup and teardown windows, and the final departure time. If waterfront photographs or outdoor portions matter, ask for a weather backup plan in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Does The Boathouse New Westminster accept wedding enquiries?

Yes. Wedding is an explicit event type on the official New Westminster private-event enquiry form. The form also lists engagement events, rehearsal dinners, showers, cocktail receptions and private dinners.

Are private dining spaces available?

Yes. The official site confirms private and semi-private dining spaces with waterfront views. It does not publish room names, capacities or layouts, so those details require a direct enquiry.

Does The Boathouse publish wedding packages or event prices?

No current wedding package or private-event price list was found on the reviewed official pages. Public restaurant-menu prices should not be interpreted as event pricing.

Can couples hold both their ceremony and reception there?

The official material confirms wedding-event enquiries but does not specifically document ceremony services. Couples should ask the event planner whether a ceremony is possible and what spaces, seating and timing would apply.
