The River Queen 

5.0

Brielle, NJ
  • Up to 140 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The Bogan family has been a staple of New Jersey’s oceanfront since founding Bogan’s Basin in 1930, where they docked their fishing fleet. In 1988, they introduced the River Queen, a custom-built Mississippi Riverboat replica crafted to blend 19th-century charm with modern luxury. Featuring climate-controlled cabins, mahogany floors, oak paneling, two bars, three outdoor decks, and stunning views of the Manasquan River, Point Pleasant Canal, and Barnegat Bay, the River Queen offers an unparalleled experience. Now run by the family’s fifth generation, Bogan’s Basin began river cruises to immerse guests in the region’s beauty and history. The River Queen has since hosted thousands of private events, from weddings to public cruises, with a team of dedicated captains, crew, and vendors ensuring every event is seamless. Combining timeless elegance with exceptional service, the River Queen continues to enchant guests and uphold the Bogan family’s tradition of excellence.

The quality of their work is truly remarkable - the venue is beautiful, classic, and timeless, providing the perfect backdrop for any wedding. They make it easy for photographers to get to know their space, which is essential for capturing the magic of the day. The office staff and crew are always willing to lend a hand and facilitate the smooth execution of the photography. I highly recommend The River Queen to any couple in search of a truly special and unforgettable wedding venue.
