Fun Riverside Adventures to Elevate Your Wedding Getaway

Picture this: a riverside wedding venue in the mountains surrounded by beauty as only nature can serve. This is a destination event with many activities to make your special day even more memorable, and for the best of two worlds, you could have the conveniences of the city right here in the woods. The beauty is, you’re not alone in choosing a destination wedding, since such events usually host 48 guests, according to the Wedding Planner Institute. Below are four fun riverside activities you should try during your special weekend!

1. Swimming

This all-time favorite pastime is a fun and relaxing activity. Swimming is a recreational activity that people of all ages can safely engage in, and besides the fun, it has many health benefits. It’s a low-impact activity that has great mental and physical benefits.

2. Soaking

If you don’t know how to swim or you’re simply not in the mood, how about soaking your feet in the warm summer waters as you also soak in the beauty around you? Among the benefits of soaking your feet in warm water include stress relief, blood clot prevention, better muscle function, and muscle cramps and pain relief. This is a great activity to indulge in at your riverside wedding venue.

3. Hiking

Another great riverside activity is hiking. If you and your guests love the outdoors, this can be a great way to take in the beauty of the streams and mountains near your event venue. Plus, it’s a stress-relieving activity that can relax you before your nuptials!

4. Boating

Boating is a simple activity you and your guests can engage in during your weekend away alongside tasty snacks and drinks. It provides an opportunity to bond with family and friends away from the TV and other in-house entertainment activities that tend to keep us indoors for hours.

There are many activities you can enjoy at a riverside wedding venue. Our event center here at The Boathouse is away from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering you the opportunity to enjoy the water and the mountain views during your wedding getaway. Contact us today to schedule a tour of our gorgeous and scenic venue!
