Boathouse Studios (Arts and events Venue in Barking)

Great venue and amazing customer service! Julie was so helpful and accommodating Hiring both rooms meant we could separate the adults party from the kids party which all our guests seemed to appreciate.

An absolute delight to have held my nikkah at this venue. Carol and Julie were a dream to work with and were able to help us with any queries which we had, as well as provide me and my guests with great laughter and conversations. Thank you to Boathouse Studios for being a part of my special day. I will definitely recommend you to everyone i know! :-)

We were immediately drawn to The Fishing Smack when we saw photos of the gorgeous exposed brickwork and from the first in-person visit, we were hooked - Pun very much intended! Carole is, without question, the jewel in the crown of Boathouse Studios. She put us completely at ease and accommodated every detail of our bigger picture without ever making us feel we were a nuisance - Even when we were bothering her to come in for things like testing lightbulbs! My wife and I are experienced in various areas of the events industry but walking through the space with Carole inspired loads of new ideas for the party we were hosting. Her creativity and enthusiasm for the success of not only the venue, but our event as well, was infectious throughout our months of planning and the party wouldn't have been the same without her. The venue as a whole is well-run, very clean and very well-equipped. The behind-the-scenes details, such as free sanitary products in the toilets, didn't go unnoticed and I believe speak volumes about the kind of people working back of house - Dedicated, inclusive, efficient and experienced. The spaces are also extremely versatile. It's rare to find a 'blank canvas' style space that retains the charm and focal details that Boathouse Studios does. I highly recommend using the clean-down service. Shadene and the team took immediate charge to pack up and reset the room efficiently and respectfully. It's very reassuring to know that your belongings, decor, equipment etc are in very safe hands, while your guests can slip away on a high note. In summary: Love the vibe, love Carole and the team, and we wish Boathouse Studios every continued success.
