BOAT PARTY KOLKATA - Event venue in Howrah - Howrah, India

I was invited in a engagement cruise event which was managed by Boat Party Kolkata. I really enjoyed a lot. Excellent service, great food specially all traditional Bengali items they served. Parallelly the continental items was just awesome. I would like to recommend Boat Party Kolkata everyone. It's really a new and unique way of celebration in Kolkata.

Very nice venue for destination wedding within kolkata... Specifically Mr. Samiran is a very dedicated, genuine person and punctual also. I liked his efforts. Catering standard is also nice... Staffs were very well behaved and attended us very well. But it would have been better if some food items were stomach friendly.. And secondly number of invitees should be very much proportionate to the space of the Ganges cruise to avoid excessive congestion. Otherwise it was awesome experience and I would definitely recommend others to visit this cruise once . . . Love you all

We had booked The M.V Riviera Cruise for our first anniversary on 28th of April. It was an amazing experience for us and our guests were overwhelmed with the spectacular view along with luxurious hospitality. Mr. Karmakar really did his best and left us speechless. When the cruise sailed beneath the mighty howrah bridge, each one of us was awestruck and spellbound. Thank you to the entire team for making our special evening memorable for all our guests for years to come. Remember one can go to a renowned hotel/restaurant any day on his own but to experience a cruise party with such a panoramic view is only written in your stars.

My words here may not do justice to their extreme professional and overwhelming executive service we received on one of our most important day/event on November 26th 2022. The Boat Party Kolkata simply the BEST!! It all started way back in Jun 2022 when we started planning our 18th Wedding Anniversary and most importantly it was our family reunion in Kolkata after 14 years, since we moved to US in 2007. We were looking for an unique event location and it didn't take much longer for us to find Kolkata Boat Party on the internet as they seemed to be already a leading organization in this unique concept of Boat Party. From the very 1st day, starting with a basic enquiry till the end of the event their communication, coordination, hospitality, and execution was just top notch, and I was personally impressed with their professionalism. Within an hour since I submitted our even request, I was personally connected with Mr. Somiran Karmokar who took me through the entire process and stayed with me at any time we needed him till the end of the event on November 26th 2022; don't know how many such professional event manager/coordinator we can get in today's world. Wish I had more better words to share my feedbacks but starting from enquiry, walking through their detailed offered services, reviewing designs and decorations, approvals, walkthrough of arrangements prior to event and finally executing each service with full potential made our most important night such a memorable one. We personally thank Mr. Somiran Karmokar and his entire professional crew, for their hospitality and awesome care to our valuable guests, we all had the best time we were looking for. If we pick few from our long list of satisfactions, including the valet service and most importantly accommodating wheelchair requirement at the very last minute left us very satisfied. Boat Party Kolkata is simply the BEST and we certainly hope to have more events with them. We strongly recommend checking them out if you are looking for an unique experience for your next event.

I wanted to host my son's annaprashan (first rice ceremony) in a fun, relaxed and calming way on the banks of the Ganga. The Ganga and my city of joy Kolkata has always been welcoming in the times of chaos and endless timelines. After travelling and working across several states and years in India, I thought of hosting this beautiful ceremony, not at a hotel venue but right on the banks of the river that calmed and emanated beauty and peace right from my school days to my working life. The dream happened with my family's support and of course the support of Boat Party Kolkata along with Samiran Karmakar who helped in planning the event. The company and Samiran tried their best to accommodate most of the wishes of our family and also helped us navigate the possibilities and impossibilities. *What went well:* - My requests were heard and thought of with detail. - Changes were accommodated mostly. - The decor and the theme were well thought of along with me (Samiran and me both being a graphic designer, it helped with the theme planning of focusing on the Art of Bengal and paper origami). - The F&B (Food & Beverage Team) at La Fiesta tried their best to plan a sumptuous buffet and even accommodated packaging request for the event. They also designed a wonderful annaprashan cake for the event so a big thank you & kudos to the chef for designing it with such care & wonderful details. - A boat was on standby for emergencies and for guests wanting to leave early (most did not want to) after spending some time on the boat MV Riviera. - The Valet Parking was a big help especially for guests wanting to reach the event on time and report before sailing. - Sound Setup request was accommodated as well and Debdeep Mukherjee (Pagol Naki Song fame) also loved the whole vibe and decor of the place and sang with joy as the boat crossed under the Howrah Bridge. - Charges and Costing were communicated upfront. - Booking Dates and Timelines were communicated aptly so that busy dates and wedding season could be accommodated and planned ahead. - Also a timed event like this was also perfect for starting and ending on time. *What could have been better:* - The snacks and beverages could have started earlier as guests had started boarding already. Hence floating the snacks had become important even if the sailing started a bit late. Also for guests leaving early if packet food provisions could have been thought to be distributed, it would have been a wonderful gesture as some of them could not stay till the end of the event. We should have planned this part better with F&B team + Samiran. Something we can take away as future learnings. - Food tasting for such events can be planned for clients who are busy and cannot make it for a full boat event. A boxed packaging approach for some dishes can be done and Swiggy genie'd (delivered) to clients while an event is happening in that area. I trusted the F&B team at La Fiesta without tasting the food as first client, but it could have been planned better. *Overall Thoughts:* Overall, the whole event was very well planned. The winter weather was supportive. Samiran took a lot of care in guiding first time clients for hosting such an event which is slightly different from events hosted in hotels and banquet areas. Bansidhar Pradhan, the F&B manager for La Fiesta also helped in controlling the quality and sanitation of food. Overall, every guest (young and old) had a lot of fun and stored cherished memories of spending some wonderful quality time together, that too not at a stagnant hotel venue but right on a beautifully decorated boat floating across the Ganga river and the sacred ghats. No accidents and emergencies happened. I thank the entire Boat Party team, Samiran and my father Dr. Indrajit Sardar for supporting a vision and carving it into a reality. We celebrated in our family after long but we all celebrated and had a lot of fun and at the end that's all that matters and the pictures (which I will attach later, as I get them) obviously can never lie.

It was a very novel experience and you get an opportunity to look at a very beautiful panorama of Kolkata from the Ganges. The whole program was very well planned and executed by Samiran and we are sure to come back when the next occasion comes up.

We all celebrated my son's 1st birthday party on this boat . It was a lovely experience . Management , Decoration and all other arrangements were at its best . Loved the work and its really appreciatable . Hope to work together again . Keep up your good work .

We had our wedding reception here. A very classy and high quality arrangement - right from the custom decor to the good food. And best part is - it is completely turnkey and you can organise a great party without any stress.
