About this venue

Just steps from the sparkling waters of Green Bay, the Boat House is Door County’s premier waterfront venue. Designed with both beauty and comfort in mind, our spaces lend themselves naturally to gatherings of every kind, from intimate celebrations to larger occasions. Our venues each offer their own distinct atmosphere while staying connected by a shared sense of simplicity and coastal elegance. From the Main Hall and Building 71 to the Bridal Suite, Grooms Lounge, and Marina Clubhouse, each space is designed to feel effortless and adaptable. Together, they create a collection of settings that capture the natural splendor of the peninsula. Our connection to the water is at the heart of what we do, including private boat charters. Our offerings reflect the rhythm of the coast, allowing guests to slow down, take in the view, and be fully present. The Boat House offers a sense of place that feels both distinctly Door County and entirely your own.

    Wedding Review

    The Boat House was the perfect spot for our wedding day. From our first conversation, the team was prompt with responses and crystal clear about what they could offer us. What really impressed us was their flexibility with our caterers and how beautifully they had the space decorated without us having to lift a finger. Beyond the reception itself, they went above and beyond by opening up for our send-off brunch the next morning, which our guests loved. The stylish waterfront location in downtown Door County gave us exactly the backdrop we wanted, and the team's helpful approach made planning stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or more supportive staff.

    Better than we could have imagined.

    Better than we could have imagined. Having a Door County wedding was always my dream—but finding a venue that could accommodate our size and be convenient for guests (no transportation logistics) felt impossible, especially with places like Alpine no longer an option. CenterPointe Marina was truly the only place that checked every box. We transformed the space into this warm, coastal-feeling setting, and the flow of the night was perfect. Part of the room was set for cocktail hour with added seating and a wooden boat “museum” vibe (including one that doubled as our bar), while the rest stayed hidden for a big dinner reveal—such a fun moment. It’s also so spacious that we didn’t have to flip the room at all between cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, which made everything feel seamless. Plus, being able to go indoor/outdoor without stressing about a rain plan was huge. From a guest perspective, it couldn’t have been easier—everyone could walk from Stone Harbor and head to the bars after. Truly such a special, one-of-a-kind venue.
