January 2025I booked 'The Edwardian' through Thames Luxury Charters for my company's Christmas Party in December 2024. They were extremely helpful throughout the process and the evening went without a hitch. The Manager of the boat on the evening was very efficient and helped me ensure that everything ran to time. An extra mention for the Christmas cocktails, they were really good!!

November 2024Was really well organised and a brilliantly well run event on the day. Staff were all very friendly and food and drink was delicious. We were very lucky with the weather and being able to open up the cover was a great benefit.

October 2024I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the team at Thames Luxury Charters for creating such a memorable evening. We hosted our company’s 25th Anniversary celebration on the Elizabethan, cruising down the Thames into the sunset. The live BBQ, fantastic selection of drinks, and live music made the night truly special. The team was incredibly helpful both before and during the event, ensuring everything was perfect. They assisted with additional arrangements like flowers and an ice sculpture, and on the night, they ensured everything ran smoothly so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Thank you again for a fabulous night—I look forward to working with you in the future!

November 2024We chose Thames Luxury Charters for our wedding reception in November 2022, and it was truly the best decision we made. From start to finish, their service was absolutely outstanding, and their attention to detail exceeded all expectations. The planning process was seamless thanks to the friendly and helpful team, who were always ready to answer questions and accommodate our vision. On the day, every aspect of the reception ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy a completely carefree celebration. Our sit-down afternoon tea was beautifully presented, and the table settings were exactly as I had envisioned—elegant and thoughtfully arranged. The staff, from the wait team to the bar staff, were not only professional but also warm and attentive, ensuring our guests felt looked after at all times. The evening disco with the DJ was a fantastic way to end the celebration. The setting aboard the vessel added a magical touch, creating a unique and unforgettable experience for everyone. We cannot recommend Thames Luxury Charters highly enough. They made our wedding reception everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for a first-class service with meticulous attention to detail, look no further! Thank you to the entire team for making our special day so perfect!

December 2024My birthday lunch for 30 guests on MV The Edwardian was the most spectacular success. The vessel is beautiful and the planning process by the Events Managers was painstaking despite several adaptations on my part. The menu choices cater for all tastes and I had difficulty choosing what to serve, On the day both the crew of the vessel and the catering staff went out of their way to provide a discreetly efficient but friendly and caring service to my guests, many of them older people. The Manager on board was constantly concerned to ensure that all my wishes were being fulfilled. The food was excellent and beautifully served. We went up and down the river for five hours (luckily in brilliant sunshine for December) so that my guests - who had flown in from all around the world - had lovely views of the great sights of London. I have since been inundated with complimentary messages about a wonderful event. I sincerely commend Thames Luxury Charters and their caterers Dish for providing such an exceptional experience.
